10 Things I Hate About Myself

I hate it when I feel too tired for QTs or for prayer,
I hate that uni is so hard, I hate how I don't care.
I hate how things I should enjoy can seem like such a chore,
I hate how things that once made sense, don't make sense anymore.
I hate when I'm awake at night, I hate it when I cry,
I hate the way I get depressed and feel like I should die.
I hate when I think I should smile and say things are OK...
But mostly I hate not being able to finish this off properly, cos I'm all rhymed out for today!

"Chocolate is your friend, chocolate won't judge you."

Dude, don't feel like that, uni is hard, if you don't care, meh, life isn't easy and life isn't fair. If it is fair, it's a one time thing and you're lucky.

Never lie, never say things are ok, even when people ask "Hi, how are you?" I always tell the truth, if it's "Cosi, cosi" I say say "Cosi, cosi." If it's fan-bloody-tastic, say "It's fantastic."

Everyone feels depressed at one stage in their life, perhaps it's your stage this time. But if I see you cry for no apparent reason, have weight changes, anhedonic, suicidal ideations (not including Honours students), I'm taking you to see a psych, woman. We all learn how to cope with what's going on around us and in our heads, eventually we'll get to the adjusted and dealing with it effectively stage.

don't worry about it, she totally stuffs it up in the movie anyway :p

*hugs*
yeah, let us know when you're upset, we'll give you chocolate, listen or maybe even give you REAL hugs *shock*
oh, think about happy things. happy thoughts are so cheering, and if your feet lift off the floor, that's all to the good :)sit in short sleeves in the sun, also good.

but i think i kinda know how you feel, and maybe it's not always easy to tell people, but we are here for you, and most probably things will get better. don't hate yourself anyway, we're none of us perfect, and there's so much more to like.

Um...paroxetine? Lol, kidding, kidding....but that does remind me, i should go and study...

>why hate when there are so many more things to love?

Because that's how the poem in the movie goes =P

I will be taking myself to see one already, or at least to the free counselling service at uni (not sure if they are psychs) cos someone already beat you to *suggesting* i see one! =) what's anhedonic?

>lol, that was very dorothy parker-esque

?? Someone fill me in please, I'm not very educated in this sort of stuff...

It's good to have friends =)

Minerva said...

Good, I'm glad there are friends who physically see you, actually suggested it. Unfortunately I'd only be able to virtually drag you out to see a counsellor *virtually waves at Viv*

anhedonia: the inability to feel pleasure or happiness in response to experiences that are ordinarily pleasurable.

Ang said...

As in "an" opposite of/against, hedonia, meaning pleasure, as in "hedonistic" I knew it, but Pun beat me to showing off.

Poor Viv, you might try doing things you used to enjoy, and trying really hard to enjoy them, and writing down how you feel, about once a week. That's part of the CBT "homework" assigned to try to deal with anhedonia. It's apparently a chore at first, but eventually helps.

So even if (after your stressful exam), you don't really feel like going to a party, if you're invited, still go. It really is good for you. Even just hang around after church and eat bisvuits, or something, maybe, and make a conscious effort to enjoy.

Minerva said...

*achem* not showing off, I actually have to know this stuff for exams. *hurrumpf*
Believe it or not, words like this is gradually, well tad faster than gradually working its way into my everyday vocabulary. *sigh* *shakes head*

Minerva said...

"words like these are gradually"

Ang said...

I know, same. Also, I know you weren'y showing off, you were helping.

*I* was showing off.Or going to. Also, I wanted to help too.

There's no I in the VivSupport Team. We work as one.


( <3 for you, Viv)

Catie said...

Catie said...

hehe, that's the very essence of wry humour.
