What is your passion?

Travel, film, music, literature, and philosophy.

However, I wouldn't really say I'm 'passionate' about anything. Pretty numb these days. These things are simply what make my life bearable.

Jesus, things surely cant be that bad, and if they are you sound like you need immediate counselling before you have a severe mental breakdown or worse. :eek:

edit: Oh and my passion right now is my 5 week old baby girl, life doesn't get better than that :)

Think thats jumping the gun a bit a little bit of the blues hardley constitutes a severe breakdown.

Anyway Nix and Platy sorry to hear yous are both feeling a bit down , virtual cugs , hope you find some peace for yourelves soon, one of the best tricks I've found is partake in some random acts of kindness buy that guy who sits by himself a pint in the bar, treat all the kids in the shop to a 10p mix when you next buy your newspaper, if a bum in the street asks you for 50p for a bottle of cider go in the shop and buy him the whole bottle, it's amazing how a little reminder that you can give joy to others can help improve your mood.

Oh and to quotee babies are cute, big cheeked wide eyed tyrinacal slave masters, god but you gotta love em ;)

The blues is feeling a bit down, I think saying that life is only just bearable and having no passions at all is well on the way to a complete breakdown. Thats if he wasn't over exaggerating?
 
As weird as this is, I just sat here and wrote out a long and cynical post to have my inbox spammed with notifications from facebook. Some friends held a night in my honour (well, they both essentially pretended to be me and took the mick accordingly) which I've just spent the last ten minutes laughing continuously at.

There's hope yet. :D

I'm more in the aftermath of what I suspect was a breakdown last easter. I've just slowly switched off from it all since. It seems caring only seems to backfire.

If you only suspect it was a breakdown and have had no professional definitive opinion on whether it was or was not then its even more reason to get help, going alone will only end in misery, getting help can turn your life around as reading your comments about slowly switching off and caring only seems to backfire are dangerously unhealthy. Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, whether it be from medical or spiritual places.
 
You're right and I intend to register with my GP. The problem is when I get 'bad', I become extremely introverted and try to shoulder it. Thus, I never saw a GP until it was too late I guess. However, I know something's wrong and I'm going to do the sensible thing. I'm nowhere near the point I was before, but it's obvious to see I've changed. A friend said just before New Years that he didn't know who I was anymore. I guess that should've bothered me, but it didn't.

I must say that it's strangely liberating. I no longer feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders so to speak. It's just as I've said: the passion seems to have gone too.
 
Or if not a GP then some sort of motivational therapist, you obviously need to get an aspect of whats good in life and how to get your passion back, and if you are feeling more liberated then there is no better time than the present.

Carpe Diem

Given you had a low point last Easter in what way did your friend described you as being diffrent by the end of the year?
Is this a kinda pemanat low mood or are there times your like a 'man on a mission' ie working to hard, finding yourslef at the end of your tether cos you can't find anything to enteertain you etc.?
If you are suffering any suicidal ideation or thoughts of self harm I would advice you talk to your GP about it as soon as possible?
If you think these questions are too personal to post a reply to feel free to ignore this post I'm just trying to get a handle on 'where your at' from someione who's had a few problems himself in his time ;)
