Well, I feel like shit too. Misery loves company, but she's a bitch ;)
In the way you phrased the OP it seems to me like you don't want to talk about it here (by suggesting comments of pictures instead of opening the subject), but I might be wrong.

uhm tbh it's just a passing thing, i mean my life isn't terrible and all that, just tired at work i guess - waiting for a vacation, but can't get one for another few months - sick of constant morning rush commute and all the other crap (family, etc.)

Ah, so you just have a normal life (well, normal by conforming to society standards).
I think life weren't made to be a happy thrill ride, if one views it from an evolutionary standpoint, unlike advertisement would like us to think. Now it's ingrained in most people thinking that they should always be happy so whenever they're not - they feel even worse than they should (and in most cases, there're more good reasons to feel bad than there are to feel good in reality).

yea lol i just need a long break and these past few days it got a bit tougher to cope, well hopefully next week i can get out of the city for a day at least, which would be a good change of scenery lol

The tired thing is the worse when you are depressed, i have clinical depression, i have had it for more than a year now, it is a type of depression that isnt as sad as the normal one but it last longer... anyway you better keep a good sleep, being depreesed and being tired is one of the worse things you can do, you keep getting sadder, and your body dont get the energy it needs for you to even acomplish the most tiny things in your life, you will feel even worse about yourself if you get to that point, i wont tell you to look for help in other people because i dont know if you have other people to go and even so it might not be good to do so, i dont know the reason of your saddnes nor do i think that matters, just think...are the things that keep you awake and sad unfixable, and if so... are they really that bad that there is no way for you to move on and to look forward to your dreams? even if you dont have any specific dream or goal... we all wish to be happy, that is the thing that we all look for, and there is no way that anything cant prevent you from being happy, at least not at all or forever, except yourself

ya i suppose ill sleep soon; and im sorry about your clinical depression - fortunately i dont have one, just busy exhausting days that don't seem to end for the past few months. Hmm maybe you should try sports? I play tennis and I find that it helps :D

hahahah yea i mean im just trying to get thru the week (plus it's monday lol) - i do exercise a lot tho, played tennis on saturday; gym on sunday and back to gym tomorrow - might be pushing it too hard actually. i think this is more like frustration from work/forcing myself to take some online classes/some family problems, etc. Just frustrated all around lol, so i kinda came here to whine for a bit lol

Check out ASMR. It's strange, I know, but it may help with sleeping and depression. If one ASMR video seems too strange then feel free to try out all styles until you find one that suits your needs! Ever since I discovered ASMR I can safely say that it has helped quite a bit.
Btw, have a hug from me if that helps.

+1 for ASMR suggestion. GentleWhispering is one of the best ASMR related channels on youtube. Of course there are others and quality of their videos varies, but this one clearly knows well how to do it properly. :)

Here, have another cat, dog & bird gif

This is going to be the most cliche thing to say, but keep in mind that it'll get better. Nothing is static and bad days will give way to good ones. If you can plan your next break, I'd recommend doing that. Nothing like a vacation to plan for to brighten one's day (I vote Vegas or Disney world xD).
Sorry I haven't any gifs to offer. New here and don't know how to add one. =)

Hello. We sorta have similar profile photos, so I figured I should comment here. I know, weird reason. :3
I have been diagnosed with major recurrent manic depression myself. I know how it feels. It's shitty and you have to take these silly expensive pills to get better. And/Or unwillingly go see your shrink to talk about yourself and your life. I hate my shrink btw. Or maybe I just hate shrinks, in general. I know they're just trying to help, but I know when people fake that they care. What's even worse is people just don't get you. They go on saying stuff like "Just get over it." (Like seriously, if I could just "get over it", I would've already. >_>) or "But you seem so happy all the time." (Well... Have you heard of Pagliacci the Clown? If you've seen Watchmen, you should know him. I love Rorscach. >;) or "You look perfectly normal though." (Obviously I have no wounds or scars to show for my pain. It's internal. So silly.)
TL;DR - People who haven't yet experienced depression just don't get it. It's difficult for them to sympathize and/or empathize with you. If you feel like you're alone in this world, you probably are. Unless you have those really nice friends who still feed you and hug you even though they don't understand. :3 I don't though. So I resort to gaming and watching tons of movies and reading books and comics and listening to music. There are so many beautiful things in this world, even if you exclude humans. I myself think that dogs are better than humans. Dogs are cute and cuddly and will love you eternally if you treat them nice. Some love you eternally anyways even if you don't treat them nice. D: Humans are just judgmental pieces of shit, including myself. It's so sad. I think there's something wrong with how humans are programmed. I've learned so many things over the duration of my eternity of alone time. It works pretty well. At least for me. :D

Been depressed for years, never sought a psychiatrist, I definitely don't wanna spend my days dulled because of the medication I'd have to take
Comment has been collapsed.
Not every medication dulls you, that's a very narrow view that I can just guess comes from inexperience. Short answer - some medication will work on you some won't. The long answer is that every person has an individual response while taking psychiatric medication - some have more appetite, some will make you sleepy, energetic, suicidal, euphoric.. and the list is endless.
The only question here is - If you are depressed for years like you say, and I assume you don't want to stay in this state - why not try to find a suitable med that will work for you?
Also, CBT has been shown to work as good as meds on most cases of depression - even major depression. So if that's an option in your country - it might be a better solution, no side effects here ;)

Just saying it will pass sounds lame...although it will and I hope it will soon get better and you'll be able to have that vacation you need! But don't exhaust yourself because it just adds to stress, if you are tired go to sleep so you'll have more energy for the next day.

Cold chocolate milk some pizza and maybe a walk or jog around the neighbour hood usually does it for me. But if you are dead exhausted tired and depressed then maybe seek some help? maybe start small with some local or national help lines.. I know I did when I was at my worst.. and it kind of helped.. felt more lost than re assured.. but was just more glad at the fact that I could and was able to call someone and tell them about my feelings etc.. was a huge weight of my shoulder that's for sure... :)

Just think-- all around the world, there are SG users thinking to themselves, "I hope that dude feels better soon."
So whatever rough patch you're going through, I hope it passes soon and you're on the right track. Good luck!

Came on here to bitch and moan about life. And yes, before you say it, I know that there are others who have it worse than me. Just whining on forums like every other bot/human being. I'd create a giveaway, but I don't want to buy people's sympathy/empathy (and I'm somewhat broke already - didn't get paid yet).
There's no real point to this thread if youre reading this, hoping for some incentive, so move on. Random gifs of cats, dogs, birds, etc. welcome but not required.
Cheers,
