any long term depressives about?
for years i've "coped" (more or less) when i start to get down by leaning on any one of a number of long term self-destructive, self-defeating crutches, but at least in the short term they did make me feel "better", they aleviated the feelings to some degree.
right now i'm casting around for a crutch and i guess it's progress that i'm not letting myself get pissed or stoned, but instead i'm struggling with making myself eat (enough/properly, i find losing weight intensely comforting).
how do you live with the shitty feelings? how do you get yourself to do what you know you need to to do to lift your mood (i need to run, i need to do some yoga, i need to meditate) when you simply don't have the energy/motivation?
