Sharing our depression

vathsala @vathsala30 (3732) • India 6 Jan 10

Hello friends Sometimes we are happy and feel on the top of the world. So during that time we sing, dance, hop, jump and do all funny things. During that time, even our worst foe looks like our best friend. But when we are very...

Rycharde Much of the advice here seems to be about trying to forget one's depression - just displacement activities. I actually got myself out of a deep depression some years ago. I did so by doing the opposite of what everyone was advising - I went deeper into the...

Rycharde Reincarnation is assumed to be just an eastern belief, but it occurs in European thought too - just read Plato's Myth or Er (easy to search and simple explanation on wikipedia). Even in Plato there is a river of forgetting. Such ideas disappeared once...

Origin of New Year's Resolution, and My Own

Qaeyious @Qaeyious (2357) • United States 6 Dec 09

I had a curiosity today about who started this tradition, and the internet gives two stories, none of which I can verify currently. The more common story is that it was started with a Roman god Janus. This interesting character...

Rycharde Funny, just wrote about this very thing and your discussion popped up. Agree entirely with your view that the best time to make a determined resolution is when you're really ready. Thing is, how do you generate that motivation in the first place? Research,...

Rycharde Hi, this rather reminds me of myself some years back. I can't even remember how many years passed maybe... maybe just one or two but it seemed like ages. But apart from sleeping a lot - coz I couldn't always face the sunshine - I vowed that I was going to get...

Rycharde OK, it strikes me that there are some common themes here: some people spending far too long either online or consuming entertainment such as games or films. All of these things pass the time until the boredom hits again. Why not use the net to find some local...

Have you ever taken a whole bed outside and slept under the stars?

Link @BambooPanda13 (867) • United States 2 Aug 09

I've wanted to do that. I can get used mattresses for free. I want to get them and pile them outside maybe 3 high and make a bed and be able to sleep outside on nice clear nights. I think that would be wonderful, especially with a...

Rycharde really depends on which country you live in. In the UK it's too cold to sleep outside, but here in Thailand it's usually warm enough and many people in the villages will sleep outside, on a hammock or a bamboo bed. An actual mattress isn't such a great idea as...
