OK guys, I'm a let you in on a secret: I have bipolar depression. It probably explains to...well...a lot of you why I have my (many) eccentric streaks :P To put it briefly, a bipolar depressant will go from 'manic' states, where they appear happy and joyfull, and slump into very bad depressions. Consequently, it's why it took me over a year (and a very special, late friend) for me to actually accept the fact I had depression. I'm not here to diagnose you, more to give you advice on what you could possibly do. I've only ever told a few people, close close friends. Never my parents or family, they aren't part of my life anymore. The reason I'm posting my admission on teh world wide intrawebnet is that I have to grow up about it, and face up to it. What I try and do is when I enter one of my depressions, I try to make sure I don't share it with anyone. Not bottle it up, just don't let anyone experience it. Not even you guys online. It's just that, I don't want anyone to have a responsibility because I'm in a sulk. So when that happens, I prioritise myself with little tasks. I cooked for awhile (as Matt suggested), but the satisfaction of smashing eggs got me a little..erm..carried away. Funnily enough it put me back in a good mood :P but I wouldn't recommend it! I try not to listen to music, because I'll just skip to a sad song and end up getting deeper into a depression, similarly with films. It's hard to stop yourself doing so, but you'll perservere if you're prepared. What I tend to do is isolate myself. I practise yoga which I've always enjoyed doing, no matter what state I'm in. A more simple way is to take a walk. Luckily for me I live in a really pretty corner of the world (at the moment), where I can walk up a hill and get lost in the woods. When you listen to nature, especially when you here raindrops on petals, it starts to put things into perspective. It may last a day or two, but I don't know, you could try these simple things and hopefully cheer you up a bit.
