Help

[billyskank]

Friends. I'm in the depths of a funk. In this state of mind I can easily blow away the friends I have, but that's the last thing I need. I think my closest friend has already almost had it with me.

If you're fed up with the whining, then I apologise and ask that you simply pass over without comment. Put me on ignore or something.

Otherwise, I need you right now. Don't let me mess it all up by being an asshole.

1. *hugs*

5. Thanks.

2. Let's talk about thongs: that always does it for me.

I mean REALLY. I have spent 55 years trying to keep my shorts OUT of the crack in my ass, and there's a whole group of people who can't WAIT to floss their cheeks.

Is this COMFY? I can't see how. D doesn't own ONE PAIR and thinks the concept is silly.

Does that help any?

[billyskank]

3. I don't think I even have an opinion on them.

16. Just hoping for a foolish distraction....

I've been sick as a dog for the last almost 2 weeks now...I've found it tends to lower both my IQ and my funk quotient just because I'm too busy feeling like shit...but I hardly recommend it as a solution!!!

In Michigan we say about the weather: "Wait 10 minutes; it'll change."

Wait a while, it'll change.

[Phillycat]

4. The only constant is change, my friend.

That's the only thing I've learned in my life. Everything changes. This too shall pass! :hug:

[billyskank]

6. I am having trouble believing in it.

:(

Hope you feel better soon...

[billyskank]

19. Thank you.

8. hey, we all need to whine sometimes!

you need to raise your endorphins, Billyskank. I was going to abreviate your name, but them I realized that it would be BS, and I figured that if you were in a funk, that wouldn't be good.B-)

But really! Go! exercise! eat some chocolate! have sex! I would go for watching a funny movie, too although I don't know if that raises your endorphins?! Hang in there, this will pass.

I'm sorry you're going through such a tough time.

I don't know if there's anything I can say to make you feel better, but maybe just knowing that I care is enough.

Then again, if you need someone to vent to, feel free to PM me.

I'm lousy at advice, and lousier even still at words of wisdom. But I have big and strong shoulders, figuratively speaking....

[billyskank]

20. Thanks MissMillie.

11. Everyone gets into a funk now and then. It's part of the condition.

Look at it, ask it what it is and what it means, and when that's done, let it go. Sometimes these things are messengers, and sometimes just self-involvement for drama's own sake.

I hope you catch the happiness!

[HERVEPA]

12. Billy, I hope someday you find a way

(medicine or otherwise) to stave off these (apparently fairly common) episodes in your life.
Peace

[billyskank]

21. Too common.

I hate that I have become this. But I don't know what to do about it. If I were someone else, I'd have put me on ignore by now. I know of former friends who have done so.

[flvegan]

13. Funk happens to everyone from time to time, I think.

Hope this passes soon.

[billyskank]

22. For me it's too often.

When it happens this often, something's wrong. But I don't know what to do about it.

[MrCoffee]

14. We Can Work It Out

[Burma Jones]

25. This too shall pass..........

Go listen to "Bashin' - The Unpredictable Jimmy Smith" and know for certain that without the depths of a funk there can be no ecstasy.

[Redstone]

26. Whine away. That's what we're here for (among other things). If you want to

send me a PM about what's bugging you, feel free to do so.

I may not be able to reply immediately, but I'll get back to you when I can.

27. Hugs and smooches, sweetie.

I'm sorry you're going through a rough patch. Everyone feels like an asshole now and then; it doesn't mean that you ARE one.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[tjwmason]

28. You're not alone

Many many many have experienced deep funks - I know that I've been bluntly rude to close friends just to hurt them when I've been down, it's insane, it's counter-productive...but it's just how we are.

You're a great man, and it's an honour to have met you - you show know that I (among many others) are always here if you need/want us.

:hug:

[billyskank]

29. Thank you, Thomas.

I miss you.

35. Chin up BillSkank!!

It gives your enemies a clearer target. I've been there, done that. Don't wallow in solitude, get out, be active. If you don't want to be sad, act as if. By going through the motions of being happy, you can often become happier. If your drinking or drugging to ease your feelings, stop or at least seriously curtail that kind of behavior, it only prolongs and intensifies negative moods.

No matter what you are much loved here, and find it in your heart to love the person inside you, and have the courage to forgive yourself for the things you have said or done, and the honesty to recognize your defects of character for what they are and change what you can. Whether you believe it or not over time your feelings will change, things do get better.
