so gutted Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I have hit that low again. I am feeling lazy, unable to go out ( even to work) and making myself ill. I worry a lot. I have been on the same site for days ( thinking as I am off work might as well look for a man). instead I am focusing far too hard, insanely on this. I cannot get away from the screen and thus I feel even worse. I am not meeting anyone of any value and keep giving my number out to anyone that seems a bit interested. I need to break this ridiculous insane worthless activity. I feel so sad, depressed and lonely it has come to this.

D-Lish Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 People are more active on this site in the evening anyway. I got so wrapped up in the online dating that I had to take a break. You get caught up in the idea that each new mail message could contain content from your soul mate. But it rarely works that way. You have to sift through a whole lot of crap to find one or two decent profiles. My advice- take a break from the computer for a while. If you don't need it for work- then you don't need to have it on. It inspires bad habits in me as well. If your computer isn't on- you'll be more inclined to get dressed and get outside. It made a world of difference to me when I did that for a month. I got back on track, got outside more- was more productive and active at work. It's an addiction. And the only way to break it is to unplug it. Why aren't you going to work?
whichwayisup Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 It sounds like you have the winter blah's... If you can, focus on the little things which bring happiness into your life. Try to exercise (even if you don't want to, make yourself! Even if it's just 3 mins of stretching or going for a quick walk around the block) because even that small amount of movement makes a difference and puts you in a better frame of mind. I completely understand how you're feeling, this time of year is rough for many people. Last week I had a bout of some bad migraines which really made me feel down and out. As hard as it was and as crappy as I felt, I MADE myself get out of the house, a change of scenery made a big difference. Get together with friends, visit your family - Try not to isolate yourself.
Author so gutted Posted January 22, 2008 Author Posted January 22, 2008 yes i think exercise might be the key, even though this is another thing i do ALONE. i had the migranes too.. and yes i need to treat the internet as an addiction....it isnt the answer to my prayers.....but there doesnt seem to be another way of meeting men that are "looking" so what can i do??
