KvP:
I'm having one of those days where my character flaws are being greatly magnified in my mind and I can't really think of a way to reconcile them. I feel like I'm on a precipice right now.
I have reached out to friends, but my phone is silent.
Josefbugman:
Listen to happy music, think of the first time you were in love and get a brew on.
Now is also a good time to do all those menial tasks that don't need your brain but need a lot of time, you can mull over the ideas you have (and I guarentee they are not so insurmountable) whilst getting something dull out of the way.
Eris:
Man, I am in that same kind of negative mindset at the moment, and unfortunately it is too hot to do anything other than sit as still as possible, so I doubt I'll be doing anything other than sitting and stewing, in more ways than one. Maybe I'll just clean the house.

You can decode pages 269, 270, and 271 of Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud & Incredible Close for me to take your mind off of it! It is a man who can't speak typing out the sum of his life using a telephone keypad (2=ABC, 3=DEF, and so on). I've been trying all day but only managed to get a couple sentences. I'm beginning to think only the first couple sentences are actually decipherable at all.

don't try to distract yourself with work, don't try to get anything really important or productive done. i kept trying to do this last semester anytime i felt like that (more often than i was comfortable with) and really ended up doing nothing but wasting my time trying to study when i couldn't concentrate, or end up feeling even shittier about myself when i tried to do something as a distraction and ultimately fucked that up somehow too (like cooking a meal) cos i couldn't focus, or when i tried to act like i was okay i'd keep being unable to maintain the facade and yell at friends and make them feel shitty too. and it all fucked up my sleep schedule something awful cos all i did was push myself harder and harder and spend a ridiculous amount of time working really hard and ultimately getting nothing done cos my mind wasn't actually there to begin with.
what i should have done, i now realize, is absolutely nothing until i got over it. sit around and watch movies and read and eat frozen pizza and that's it. it sucks cos it does feel like you are stewing a bit and getting absolutely nothing done but in the end, it usually only takes a night's sleep or two of relaxation to get somewhat over things like that and a couple of days off is never important in the long run. the alternative is to have dozens of shitty unproductive depressed days and to keep having them cos you never took that one day off to not care about anything in the first place. it is amazing how much better you can sometimes feel in the morning just by sleeping on something. in the end, i find i feel a lot better giving myself that time off than if i had ignored the depression and tried to push through it by being productive.
