Hello everpony. I am 16 years old, and in 10th grade. I have recently been feeling.... depressed i guess. My and my mom haven't been really getting along. She will sometimes nag/yell over things that don't really seem that important to yell about. I feel like something is missing in my life. I feel tired, upset, angry, blablabla. The only things really keeping me moving during the day are ponies, video games, God, my twin sister who died at birth, and music. My parents HATE heavy metal and stuff, so I rarely can listen to most of my favorite music XD They are extremely devout Christians, and so am I, but my personal life rule is "no matter how religious you are, NEVER let religion, or anything else get in the way of having fun". However, I haven't really been having fun recently. I don't look forward to weekends anymore, save for new MLP episodes. I've been staying up, pulling gaming all nighters and stuff, but I still feel.... meh. I dont really know, I just want someone to give me ideas for fun stuff to do/games to play/etc. No M games, my parents are strict lol. You guys mean everything to me, and God has definately blessed me with such an amazing community.:derpe: see you guys soon... -Ben
I have recently been feeling the same. What I do is pray, play video games, and watch MLP. Another thing that helps is getting a small group of close knit friends, and hang on. Have fun, and support each other. Hope it helps.
Get to building in Minecraft! Build a monster killing factory, a cannon, a fortified base with booby traps to kill monsters and a farmstead complete with piggies and chickens. After that you can play the new Thief when it comes out
Have you ever considered a creative endeavor? You know, like art, music, writing, etc.? Maybe the problem isn't that you're not having fun, but that you're not being fulfilled.
I drum, and I love it. Metal drumming is the most satisfying (and tiring) kind let me tell you. But its electronic and one of the cymbals broke, so i have to wait until i get a new set lol. - - Auto Merge - - I might try and get back into it. And yeah, the new Thief looks awesome! - - Auto Merge - - Thanks dude. This fandom never fails to make me feel better.
What I could suggest is maybe some meditation. Some time to clear your mind and let your spirit flourish. I, for one, love heavy metal as well, and I feel the way you do too sometimes. Another thing is get some reading done, or better yet, play some retro games like system shock. Those kinda games always get me outta that kinda mood.
First and foremost, talk to the mother-unit about how you're feeling. Just ask for 5 minutes and let her know how you're feeling. Point out the fact that you feel like any yelling has been over trivial things and ask her what's going on with her. Ontop of that, explain you're feeling down and out right now and that you need love and understanding from her. Next, if you haven't been able to see a lot of the sun, take a vitamin D pill. Winter depression occurs to me a lot and the reason is the lack of sunlight and lack of vitamin D in my system. A quick supplement and I'm all good to go. Next, just do stuff. Don't feel like doing something? Tough it out and do it. You'll feel better after.
Also, you might want to look into counselling if your school offers it, especially if this is a persistent state of mind.
I sort of know how you feel, my parents (especially my dad) sound exactly like yours, and I sound a lot like you. So I recommend you talk to someone about your problems or any difficulties you are having. Life will throw crap at you, all you can really do is face it with a smile and be with those you care about. Trust me, It only gets better.
Thanks Gamer. Yeah, it will get better. Just gotta pull through. :3 Hey i'll add you on steam. TheAlmightyAkpil. Guess we could play or something.
