feeling depressed.  I could do anything with my life but im paralyzed by the choices available, and none of them really seem appealing.

mood is everything.


move...its that simple...

if i were ever homeless and depressed i'd somehow find my way to hawaii..

being homeless in hawaii would be better than any other place no...


there r always options..

so your reponses suggest that I should just stay the course and my feelings will pass.  Well you're probably both right.  That is what I'm doing.  I haven't made plans to join a monastery etc.  BUT it doesn't feel that way now.  I feel like that talking heads song: how did I get here, and I find myself with a beautiful wife, and a beautiful house, as these days go by.  You know the one I'm talking about.  I just ended up where I am by not making decisions, by just taking the path laid out for me.  I have a chance to change course, but I have no idea what to do, or even how to go about changing.  I don't know if I'm willing to make the sacrifices necessary to change.

I would really just like a little bit of magic.  Somehow for things to work themselves out for me.  I know that's not how the world works.  That's just what I would like.

oh and berzerk fury, that does seem kind of appealing.  I wont do it though not in my character.

240  Going back to school could be an option, I think the wife wants me to keep earning though.  She likes to watch the savings accounts grow.  So I would have to fight against that.  Basically just deal with disappointing her.

goatboy I hope to live long enough to live forever...to achieve actuarial escape velocity so to speak.

Are you a fucking girl!!!?


Pull you finger outta your ass and get on with life! Set a course and piss down it!

If we all sat around crying like a fag all the time we'd get nowhere!!! If I ever I get to the point where I need to come here to get help then you are in need of a good hard slap, my dear boy you are at a low ebb!!!.

Coming to Getbig for a boost!! Now that is a Dichotomy if ever i saw one!

SS,

This sounds like your ordinary midlife crisis. Let me guide you Iron Brother. You're thinking about cheating on your wife with that hottie from the gym. Don't do it. Jerk off using her as your fantasy and see how you feel afterwards. Alone with nothing but a dirty tissue. You'll feel worse if you actually do her. Alone with nothing but a dirty whore. Don't take chances like that. Instead, plan on making the trip to the Arnold Expo where you can bang fitness chicks and are immune from spousal prosecution. Aside from the 100-mile rule and the outside-state-lines rule, there's also a little known "fitness chick" rule that offers catch-all protections. Just don't give out the home or cell numbers. Instead get a disposable prepay-as-you-go phone. These are great for extramarital activities. Leave the phone in the office or the gym locker. You can check messages from a regular phone but still have that caller-ID number that chicks need so they can feel they can safely give it up. Go on lots of business trips. Expos and trade shows are great. If you can swing the porn convention in Vegas, that is worthwhile. You need to spice it up but don't want to resort to begging or lame happy-endings from Thai hookers posing as Spa specialists. I hear ya brother.

Despite your temptations, don't do any of the following:

"Peterson" your wife a/k/a "Smoke her in the midst of a mid-life crisis and get the death penalty"
"Murphy" your wife a/k/a "Knock her up knowing full well you're halfway out the door and adding to your future child support payments"
"McNeill" your wife a/k/a "Get caught cheating and then a shotgun blast in the face"
"OJ" your wife a/k/a "Divorce her and then get jealous of her banging a 25-year old waiter and then 'Peterson' her"
"Tommy" your wife a/k/a "Bang a porn star knowing full well word will get back to your wife within the hour"
"Bobbitt" your wife a/k/a "Make her so angry and miserable that she hacks off your penile unit while you sleep"

Here's your solution: Score some gear, clomid, proviron and gh. Find your wife a hobby that keeps her out of the house or tell her your salary was cut in half and make her get a job. Bang some younger and hotter chicks according to the House Rules. Buy an awesome sports car and declare that Saturday is "My Day" so you can do whatever the fudge you want without having to live the boring and mundane existence you currently have.

Good luck Iron Brother!

yes it is tempting to wall myself off inside a thick layer of muscles.  To feel the power course through me like gay wild horses through a field of daffodils.

HAHAHAH funny as hell.

Life isn't short.  Life is long.  ANd REALLY f'ing long when you are unhappy.

Budget it out, get a stafford loan, go back to school and learn what you really wanna do.  If you're happier, the wife will be okay with the initial $ hit.

"School" is quite overrated in the grand scheme of things.

Avesher and Buff.  I wish I could follow your advice.  I am married but not with kids.  My wife and I are on the career fast track and I think I might want off.  I don't think she's ready to step off though.  She would like us to move towards financial stability and have kids in 5 years or so.  I think I want it to some extent too, but it really is not making me happy.  At the very least I'd like to take a few months and contemplate my situation, but I'm afraid to step off the track because maybe I won't be able to get back on. 

Matt C I'm more of a libertarian than a liberal, oh and 240 I thought 9-11 was an inside job from the very beginning. 

d-bol, you're definitely right, most people don't stop to think.  Maybe my purpose is to be the first person to get super huge off myostatin inhibitors.

If you're happily married then that's a logical goal to shoot for. There's your purpose right there if you needed one. Why would you want off the fast track? I assume you're not rich or wealthy. In this country, barring any can of inheritence, you need to work to make a good life for yourself. Whether that work is back breaking or within the confines of a comfy office, you need to put yourself out there to make a good life for you and your family. Quit whining, dude. Don't be afraid. Your life is a constant state of evolution. You either ride the wave, or the wave rides over you and leaves you in the fucking dust. You will have a hard time getting back on track once you step off.

I feel where your coming from and I have been dealing with this bullshit for 4 straight years now....sometimes worse than others but it is a constant struggle.

The problem with me is that it feeds off of itself....I will get to feeling bad and then when i feel bad my interaction with others suffers tremendously. I am simply not able to function well at all when i'm feeling bad.......and all that leads to is more bad feelings.

The lucky thing is that it is almost 100% in your/my head. Life is how you see it. What seems to help me is to, when you are feeling bad(with me that is 80% of the time recently) just do the right thing, don't do anything that will puch you further down, and try to set the wheels in motion for positive outcomes...anything, it doesnt matter, just positive outcomes. I am by no means over it and will always deal with depression but trying to manage it is all you can do and just remember that nothing is worth it....

I hope this helps

Sounds like you need a change. Take a holiday and think about what you really want to do with your life then do it.
You've only got one life. Dont waste it being unhappy.

haven't worked up the balls yet.


some good advice from the rest of you.

BigWyte you obviously know what I'm dealing with.  Basically I have been taking concrete steps to improve my situation and just hoping that my feelings turn around eventually.  I feel a little bit better with each step I take.

shift how is your faith? Are you semi-religious?

We all have been or will be at the point you are at atleast once. Some decide to deal with it and some don't and are unconscious or don't understand it and choose to ignore the feeling and some see this as a moment to do something about it. You should embrace this moment and reach out for guidance from your strong character and your faith to get you past these dire times. Not asking you to become a holy roller bible (or whatever) thumper, just confess your sins, problems, insecurities..etc in your faith and accept his/her mercy and forgiveness. The only thing left is for you to take things day by day and pray for serenity to accept what you don't understand and have the courage to work on yourself.

The funny thing about these times are you are probably like I was at like 90% full potential and just needed that extra kick to get that "it" or whatever I was missing BUT you don't seem to know what "it" is to complete you and make you whole. Turned out I needed to have a piece of mind in certain aspects of my life where I wanted to "understand what I couldn't control" Once I did that, I was all good man. You know who you are better than anyone on here or even your family, you just are at a stage where you are wondering where or how do you reach your full potential in life. Which direction should you go. This way or that way. I've been there.

The fact of the matter is you have to begin with you and what is surrounding you. Once you have been granted mercy the rest is up to you and you only. You have to avoid pessimistic (sp)  negative people, try to surround yourself around optimistic people while you remain optimistic..in every single aspect in life...all corners bro.

Stay busy when you have down time. If you have to call a friend and take them to lunch to fill a slot when you aren't doing anything..do it. Clean your crib, get some new gear, don't lay around the house like a slob..throw on some gear turn the music on and enjoy, get a new supplement and work out harder. Sign up for competitions, 15k's whatever..just do something to compensate when you know you will have a lot of time to think.

It's a day by day process, but humble yourself and take the high road on EVERY situation in life from here on out and I promise you that full potential will come full circle through the grace of your superior of your religion of choice. The funny thing is you know what it is about you that you are holding inside and want to change, but you may feel like you will lose a part of yourself if you do. Go ahead and lose that part of yourself and everything along with it because that "it" is what's holding you back from coming full circle homie.

I could be way off here, but take what you can out of my words.

 ;)

true, if you're lucky enough to know what you want, have good exposure to various experiences, or find your calling early.

For many, those 4 years of soul searching and hard work make the following 60 years much more fulfilling.

Well put, K-1. We all need to put faith in God and try to do as much good as we can in this world in His name. Lives focused on material success and pursuing base gratification are the worng paths. Rather, they leave you unfulfilled and searching for something more . . .

Its 50/50 that if you kill yourself, all that happens is you move into another dimension...
