I can't stand it sometimes. The same daily routines, the same traffic coming home from work, the same shit all the time. I find myself pissed off about half of the week and the other half I'm just depressed. I don't know if I expect more from life or if I'm just ticked off at all the setbacks I have been put through. I find that I can't be ambitious when I need to be and the occasional times where I AM ambitious, it quickly runs out.

I can't pinpoint my frustration and this makes matters worse. I feel like I see the world completely different from everybody else....

I know this is nothing more than a rant cause i feel like shit today, but does anybody else feel the same way?

are you sure it's not the pain medication? you can tell you're hallucinating when the walls start melting
 
Nope. Lots of stupid people do stupid things, but I don't think that's unique to our times; the Internet just lets us see all of them at once, making the overall 'world' seem worse than it is, in my opinion.
 
The world doesn't piss me off, the world pisses on me.

well, i started the morning pretty buzzed on my pain meds but I get like this from time to time. I just over analyze everything in my life until it's all I think about. To be honest, I really don't like my job, I have a bunch of medical problems (not including the bad arm from the seizure) that prevent me from doing things I like. I have no outlets for my anger so I find it hard to be in a good mood.

It's not normal to think about death on a daily basis but I can't help it. That's what I meant when I said I think I see the world differently. I'm not looking for sympathy, I just want to know if I'm alone in this respect or if anyone has similar experiences.
 
Go for a walk/get pissed with some friends/go to a party/blast some music/have a hot bath and just chill out. Life is what you make of it and if you're constantly in a shitty mood because of your daily routine then you have to spice it up some and do something to alleviate your mood swings in order to give your mind a break. I'm in a pretty shit position at the moment, my girlfriend of 3 years broke up with me, I had my drink spiked at my birthday party with MDMA a few weeks back and I'm absolutely hounded with assignments and deadlines but I still manage to cope by making little adjustments, such as just going to a mate's house to chill with a few beers or going swimming in the evening and doing 40 lengths.

there's a lot worse things than being dead ..at least death is final ..you've had a taste of being in a hospital now multiply that by 10x add in stuff like a catheter or colostomy bag or even simple things we take for granted like movement or speech or cognizance for that matter and this is the reality many people face on a daily basis ..or will face in the future ...life's too short to sweat the small stuff, just be thankful you're not shitting out of a bag


my brother in law being in the death clean up business has given me a slightly wierd prespective ...death is ugly ..it's not the like the movies, there's nothing noble or respectful about it ..a cold lifeless husk oozing out bodily fluids, covered in excement and urine, emmitting horrible stenches, overflowing with creeping and crawling maggots, leaving behind bits that are uncermoniously scooped and dumped into black bags days or weeks after the body is gone ..there is no dignity in death, there is only finality
 
you know why MY view is unique?
because I'm the only one on this dirtball having fun
 
The world is a wonderful and amazing place.

I wish someone would spike my drinks with MDMA....

Ungrateful shit! That stuffs not cheap!

:p
 
My outlook on life is far from sunny, but the only times I've been driven to think about death have been when external circumstances were overwhelmingly against me. If you really 'can't pinpoint your frustration' then it's possible that your problem is physiological - be it hormones, clinical depression or whatever... In which case you should talk to someone about it, otherwise it may be that no change in outward circumstances will improve how you feel.

Otherwise maybe you just need a change of scene. Take a holiday, visit a (local) place you've never visited, indulge your interests, start reading a new novel... It sounds as if repetition more than anything is getting you down.
 
Sex, drugs and rock n' roll....

Is that just too much to ask for in life!?!

):
 
If you're that angry at everything go join the fun in Greece.
 
The problem you have, like a lot of other people, is that you only look at the negatives. Nobody said life was going to be easy, everyone has problems. What you have to do is take what you got and make the best of it.

You might not like your job but does it pay the bills? When you collapsed you had friends that rushed in to help you, obviously you have some good friends that look out for you. As stern pointed out your health might not be perfect but it could be a lot worse.

You only get one life, stop dwelling on the negatives and start looking at the positives, I'm sure there are plenty of positives in your life that you can cling on to. I made a lot of mistakes in prior years, dwelling on those mistakes would drive me nuts, so I started looking at everything that I did have instead of looking at everything I didn't have.
 
We had a discussion like this before I left school. General answer: Everything ****ing sucks.
 
My problem isn't with the world.

I blame the universe.
 
Three years of University has told me that there's no greater conformity than taking a stand against conformity. Blessed are the 'Meh', for they shall inherit whatever Earth Greenpeace dies hunger-striking for.
 
Yes, I hate the idea that we have to work through the Christmas holidays, I hate how we have to work all our lives and never have complete freedom. I hate. I hate.
 
I love the mountains
I love the clear blue skies
I love big bridges
I love when great whites fly

Life becomes wonderful once you stop dealing with expectations and prerequisites and start living your own way
 
When the world gets you down, go down on the world.
