Feeling depressed, and I don't know why. First time in my life I have felt like this.

[close]

Go out for a run, watch a funny movie, or eat cheese. Sure you can spend some down time because you feel unmotivated but, it try to bring in some positive energy before it drowns you

[close]

This, literally getting out and doing anything will help you out.  Once you are depressed and get in the habit of staying in bed all day and not doing anything it can become a chore to even do something as simple as going out for a skate.

Thanks guys. Yeah I concluded that it was because I hadn't skated in a while, and was becoming more turned off about it, becoming more lazy and staying inside. I would feel too tired to go skate or would come up with excuses. So I decided to skate yesterday whether I was feeling it or not, and actually had a great time and instantly felt alot better. Funny how skatboarding is almost like a drug addiction.

for real...I used to spend my saturday mornings in bed depressed and hung over, now I favor spending it waking up early on Saturday to skate before all the gromits show up. Starts my weekend off really good.

I stopped drinking as hard so I could catch slappies with my friends on weekends because being hungover got in the way

I dislocated my left knee on Friday, messing about on a small curb. Getting examined in 3 hours and probably going to stay off the board for a few months. Just as Spring is kicking in..  gutted

My ankle has been gradually degrading for the past year or so and already had a bunch of problems, I sprained it real good a couple months back and it hasn't improved at all despite my orthopedist telling me "just try and stay off your skateboard for a couple weeks" when I can't even walk my dog or stand for a half hour. I damaged a nerve so my whole lower leg has been spazzing out and they just brush it off when I tell them. Like I get he sees people way for fucked up than me on a daily basis but he thinks it's serious enough to have me come back for 3 visits over the course of a month to tell me the exact same thing. I'm just scared I'm never gonna recover enough to skate again without immediately rolling my ankle because I already have chronic ankle instability.

Skateboarding is the best fucking think and I can't afford to lose it. It was the only thing that made me get out of bed last year when my depression was at its worst. It's my connection to everything, it's how I've made all my best friends. It's pretty much the only thing that can get any dopamine pumping in my brain. I've been spending a lot of time developing other hobbies but they all are just so boring and pointless and shallow in comparison. I'm actually not even all that depressed anymore, just disconnected from everything, the days just pass by doing the same shit and blur together, Puttering away at my bullshit job, unsure of anything I want to do with my life outside of skateboarding, my relationships with my girlfriend and friends degrading due to my general numbness.

I fully realize how trivial it all is relative to some people's problems and that just makes feel guilty. I'm 20 I'm too fucking old to be this angsty.

that all sucks, shitcunt. wer're a resilient species [skateboarders] and i'm sure you'll be back like danny way after he broke his neck or ed templetits after he broke his neck or even cardiel who's doing a ahell of a lot better post broken neck than say christopher reeves or whoever.
it's ok to be 20 and angsty. i believe it was tobee parkhurst who said 'one day when you're looking back, you were young and man you were sad. and you got hi-igh. you got hi-igh'.
so don't argue w/ toebee's wisdom. you're young and sad, get high. build some regrets for later in life.

See a different doctor. I was skating and did the splits and messed my knees up. I went to Kaiser (my then health care provider and the "best" coverage), I went to my regular doctor, another one, and the emergency room. The 1st guy told me that because I was 20 I was gonna be fine and I would heal. The 2nd one tried stretching my leg to see if anything hurt and not sure if I was used to it or it wasn't serious but nothing. In the emergency room (I was there for a cut so I figured why not go) and they told me there was nothing visible but if it persisted I should go to athletic specialists. While I didn't go it helped me freak out less, definitely go to different doctors.

So, did you finish it?

So i been driving this elderly couple every Tuesday night to help them set up for an AA meeting since about when i first got sober, which is about 16 months. Also drive them to work some days because they don't have a car. No big deal at all, the man is the sweetest person ever and is now my sponsor and helped me out a ton in the beginning, also you're just suppose to help people out in the program. Now is wife, yeah she is just a huge fucking cunt, she constantly yells at him over nothing and always puts me in an awkward position between them two. Recently my car has been dying on me, its old but whatever it still gets me to point A to point B if i don't drive every day or if i don't drive for a long period of time. Anyway i haven't been able to drive them and my sponsor called me today asking for a ride to the bank, told him i cant cause of the car situation. He understood completely and said we could probably still meet up later today to do some step work. While he was saying that the fucking wife was screaming in the background asking why i couldn't drive them and the dude was explaining to her about my car. I just wanted to yell back like LOOK IM NOT YOUR FUCKING PERSONAL DRIVER and hang up. They abuse the shit out of me cause i can drive and being in my early sobriety at the time i took the abuse because i just wanted to help out anyway can. Now she can go fuck herself. The dude is still cool though and forever will be and anytime i go to the tobacco shop i ask him if he wants a ride there. Ill help out him as much as possible if my car is on a good day but for the wife? Nah go fuck yourself

of course. it happened before i even took a bite.
i cleaned off the earbud and tried using it, but its only working at like half its normal volume now.

[straight]

your chili sounds way too soupy

[JB]

ive been getting scam phone calls from numbers all over the US at least twice a day for the past week. i never answer them, but every time i look the number up its a scam. makes me nervous.

Some place you signed up with a phone number sold your info and/or you owe someone money and your balance was sold off.

I got invited to my first-ever "baby-friendly" party last weekend. 4 different couples in our circle of friends had kids in the last 3 months, and one of my best friends is already on his second at 26. The "party" really fucking sucked to be honest, it consisted of my friends taking pictures with the babies and talking about diapers and shit for a couple of hours. 2 others announced us they were pregnant as well (one's been with her boyfriend for less than 3 months btw)


The few of us with who are single/have no kids felt like outcasts, because I guess we "can't relate" to our friends anymore, seeing as our "friends" barely acknowledged us. My good buddy has barely spoken to me in the last couple months and the only thing he said to me at the "party" was offer me a beer, and he walked away from me after.

I'm one of the oldest of my gang at 28, and I feel as if my friends are way too in a rush to start their adult lives and I feel like I'm losing my good friends. Not stoked at all.

I can definitely relate to your situation. Young parents are the worst for the particular reason. Unless we have kids, it's gonna be really hard to continue being friends with them. At this point, I don't even care anymore cause they're boring as fuck now anyways.

Me and my friend got arrested on trespassing charges. Hopped a fence into a waterpark and skated one of those tornado slide things it was 20 degrees out and it was night , it was really fun pretty hard to keep your speed up though. Got about a 20 minute sesh in. We set off a silent alarm and got boxed in by the pigs. It's all good though we only went in for about a hour and bonded out for 100$ each.

How can you tell someone is a new parent? Don't worry, they'll tell you...

Anyone my age that has a kid constantly posts shit of them on social media or are trying to get them social media famous with a bunch of hashtags and making them wear the next fashion trend. Since they are like 24-25 obviously the kid was a mistake and they are just trying to make themselves feel better with the likes they get off of them. My sister has a one year old daughter and shes 28 and i probably post more of that child than she does on social media.

I'm gonna quote Maddox on this one:

"Photoblogs make me yearn for the day when cameras weren't digital, film cost money, and it took time to develop pictures. I remember back when it wasn't easy for any random asshole with a camera to go out take countless pictures of nothing. Nothing is exactly what these pictures are of. No focus, no theme, no message, no posturing. Just countless pictures of Denny's at 2 AM. We don't care that you went to Denny's. You're not an artist. You're not deep. Get a new hobby."

sounds like brad and angelina have raised him well

Went to the docs yesterday for my follow-up appointment 2 1/2 weeks after my surgery; didn't talk to him before or after the operation, so this is the first time I've seen him since the Friday before the surgery. My fibula's healing exceptionally well but it turns out that my syndesmotic ligament (the one between the fibula and tibia) was a little fucked so he had to put an extra screw in there which needs to be removed eventually. Downside is that instead being able to walk again near the end of April, I have to wait until at least the end of May, so no skating for me until fucking June.

[johnes]

Sneezed too hard and felt something shift very slightly around my hip/lowerback, walking kinda crooked now.

Berrics posted Vanessa Torres part in Elementality (2005) saying it's from This Is My Element (2007).  They try so hard to be inclusive about girl skateboarding but fail to fuckin' google shit.

Kalis still has me blocked on Instagram...

Had a big snow storm hit us earlier this week and I threw out my back from shovelling so much goddamned snow. It's Sunday and my back is still stiff as shit.

Getting old sucks.

Have you tried taking a hot bath with epsom salt? That usually helps alleviate my back pains a slight bit.

I'M TALKING TO MY BEAUTFIUL PERUVIAN RIGHT NOW... I AM ALSO DRUNK... PRAY FOR ME... PLEASE. This is my ONLY change at HAPPINESS PLEASE...

[perverted super otaku!]

lol damn 20matar! at least you tapped it, it aint all bad

edit:  oh and on the plus side if you love her forever or whatever it will give you an aire of attractive aloofness with other women that just cant be faked

[mynameisnotjeff]

Oh well, it happens. You win some, you lose some. Now you can learn from mistakes.
It is respectable that she was mature about it, I personally freak out when I see cars that look like my ex's.

Also, you should've asked yo boys on Slap for help with Spanish. It was my 1st language, yo!

[LesbianPUNCH]

Just remembered that Dylan Rieder died while scrolling through some random thread. 2016 sucked.

[somethingmustbreaknow]

i was at a party on saturday.  some cute girl wanted to hook up.
declined her,  because coming back from a surgery just a couple
of days before for having appendicitis, i didn't feel like getting all
intimate and shit, like having hands all over me especially on the
area of my stomach. told her it was just me not feeling it and she
basically was cool with it so maybe i can get back on that. maybe.
