So I'm feeling sorta Gothic today. What things depress you the most? What things, global or local, large or small, make you feel like taking to your bed with a heated blankie and a stuffed animal? What things make you feel like putting one foot in front of the other is just not worth the bother?
I think a lot of things depress me... but the most is Money. Not enough of it, and listening to people that do have it.. complaining about things i can't even drem of affording.
For some reason money headaches really piss me off. Like I think it is part of the human condition to feel pain over lost love or personal best, but whenever I have to stress about anything to do with money, it just makes me so mad and so sad. Like that isn't even supposed to be on my depression calendar.Quote:

Then again, I have trouble finding money at all motivational. And that is probably why I have no health insurance.
I agree
You know those times in life when you realize that things are not at all going to turn out how you have expected all your life? Yeah thats pretty depressing stuff.
Yeah, definitely that. ;)Quote:

Unfortunately, live long enough and
either every goddamned thing can be
depressing or you find yourself just
not giving a shit about anything at all.
Stuff that never bothered you grates
on your last good nerve and gets you
down. Things that would make anyone
else eat a bullet, blow over without a
flinch.
Holidays and mortality is what has my
nuts in a vise currently... among other
things, but being that it wasn't all that
long ago that my mother passed away
on Mother's Day, I find all the adverts
and 'shock & awe' Hallmark force fed
moments a tad overwhelming.
Just last year I about committed a
felony assault on a street vendor
selling bouquets for Mother's Day,
when I had quietly tried to pass by
without incident... but no, that didn't
happen... it wasn't what was said but
more how it was said.
And really, even if I were going to purchase
any flowers, the sales pitch was all wrong,
guilt-tripping anyone into giving up their loot
is never a solid sales technique.

I think street vendors with flowers tend to pretty much all suck. Even the buy-your-date-a-rose ones tend to be like "give me your money or I'll tell your girl you think she is ugly." I know most people reserve their street beggar loathing for mimes, but I think you'd be well within your rights to pop the flower vendor under those special circumstances.
That's rough. I know it is the cycle of life and all that, but getting to the stage where the people who took care of you might need care has to be heartbreaking. *hugs*Quote:

Flakey models that pull no shows on me.
it depressed me today that after years of having size 3 and 1/2 size feet (UK size) and finding it hard to buy nice looking shoes i now find (whilst trying on some wedges) that i am no longer a 3 and 1/2, i am not even a size 2!
so, quite annoyed that i can kiss goodbye to owning designer shoes and must attempt to find a good specialist shoe-maker :(
It depresses me immensely that George W. Bush is the President of the US and that Dick Chaney is the Vice, i'm getting all teared up just thinking about it :(
When people are horrible to children & animals. Basically when the weakest people in our society are abused it makes me very sad & it goes on everyday sadly.
I have been having money issues for about 3 years now, so that really depresses me too.
And also being left, not really being alone, but if someone leaves you... it really hurts.
Ingratitude is really burning me right now. The cliche "No good deed goes unpunished" would be applicable.

When girls I like need me to be more exclusive than I can be and people whose musical tastes change every season instead of liking what they like.
