Where something *** happens, and try as you might, weeks later you
can't get it out of your head for a second, and you find yourself
sitting in a room staring blankly at a wall for hours. Whenever you try
to do something fun to distract yourself from it, you still can't think
about anything else, and you're sick to fucking death of crying yourself
to sleep.

How does one make it stop?


Oh, *that* feeling, i know it well : (

You might want to try writing prose, poetry, or usenet posts about what
happened and what you are feeling.

If you prefer, you could try painting or writing music.

It generally helps to have something constructive to do with these
feelings. By doing something useful with the pain, you tend to gain a
certain perspective on it. It's cathartic. It's a release.

Rather than merely suffering from them, you enter into a relationship
with them.

I know this is probably crap advice.

Hope you are feeling better soon

Thanks, I've been sitting all morning clicking refresh on this group :)


I know *that* feeling, as well ; )


I'd rather not post on Usenet about what happened. The person that this is
about is a Usenet reader, and other people on Usenet know them, and I care
about them dearly and wouldn't want people to hate them.


Fair enough.

I was in a similar position, which was made worse by the fact that i had no
one in real life with whom i could confer.

What i did was: a) go to a newsgroup he did not read and would never have
any earthly reason to read; b) i tried to talk only about /my feelings/
rather than about the personal details of my friend's life (which would be
gossiping); and c) to give him an alias so no one else would know who i'm
talking about - they can have suspicions, of course, but can never know for
sure.

Then again, what do i know?

Against all my expectations, my friend tracked me down to this other
newsgroup, read all my posts, and was pretty pissed off at me for talking
about him behind his back. But he was pretty pissed off with me at that
point, anyway.

It's a tough situation.


I've tried the writing. For some reason when I get depressed it gives me
writer's block, rather than inspiration, which is really crap, but I will
try it again.


I find, when my depression or anxiety gives me writer's block, i end up
writing about my depression or my anxiety. It's excellent writing practise,
in my experience.


Whether the advice turns out crap or great, thank you for replying.


No problemo : )
