Some More Nonsense
I’m fucking tired. Have you ever been in those states where you are just tired all the time? I don’t know whether to blame it on depression, exhaustion, boredom or a combination of the three. I hate being tired like this because I only get so much down time from missions and stuff and I would like to make the most of it but I’m just too tired to do everything I want to accomplish. I really didn’t have anything good to post tonight, just some bullshit I pulled out of my ass last minute.
That brings up another topic of interest to me. How do you people blog? Do you force yourself to blog at certain intervals or only when you are in the mood? I usually try to blog when I am in the mood only; but sometimes I just feel bad if I don’t at least write something. It has always been my belief that a writer should actually care about what he/she is writing about. I think when someone writes about something that they don’t care about it shows in their work. How can you expect a reader to care if the writer does not?
Ok well I feel myself babbling now. Later.

sometimes the kindest thing you can do for yourself is to accede to that tiredness and sleep more…the body does its most important healing physically between the hours of 10:00 and 2:00PM and when that is not respected there is a sleep debt owed to it….and there is a link to mild (or not) depression along with that.

Hey Seth, let me ask you something. How is your diet? Are you eating chow hall food? If so, what exactly are you eating?
Send me an e-mail, I might have some advice for you that will help perk you up a bit (and no, it’s nothing illegal or perverted).
Hope you’re feeling better…and as far as blogging goes, I only blog when I feel inspired. I’ve been really depressed lately (severe relationship problems) and it’s affected my blogging. Instead of the ha-ha-ha bullshit I usually post, I’ve been trying to go a little deeper.
That might be a mistake…I don’t know how deep I go. For all I know I’m about to hit a concrete floor and everyone will know how shallow I am.
First, go do what you can to get rid of the fatique and get better. I wish I had a tip for you, but our surroundings and circumstances couldn’t be farther apart. When I feel tired all of the time, I do a rigorous work-out, to the point where it hurts more than normal, then take the hotest shower I can tolerate. That usually gets me to a point I can relax and sleep.
LOL. As you know Seth, I am a politics and media junkie, so you probably have no desire to follow my path. I blog whenever something happens that interests me. I will never force myself to blog just because it’s been a while since my last post. You said it all … How can you expect a reader to care if the writer does not? See, I luck out on that. I’m not a writer, and don’t claim to be … I just post stories and then share my thoughts.
Be Safe!
Hey Seth. I wish I could give some great advice that stayed with you and was put to use, but I can’t, and I apologize. YOu could always be a little kid in Africa with messed up teeth, I guess. BUt anyway, I’m sorry that I wasn’t at the computer when I got your IM. I think that it would’ve been quite interesting to’ve actually had a real conversation with you outside of blogger. Maybe next time. (Just a little side note: I would definitely send you a cold ice pack if I had your address and something to keep it cold in.) –Sarah
I guess I’m from the school of thought that says you have to make installments every day to keep things fresh and interesting enough to make people stop and look. Otherwise we do our 30 seconds, as many do and move on.
It’s tough for me to get the mood and time sinked up, but somehow I do. Good luck to you …hang in there.
Sleep and working out are the two non-medication things you can do to increase seritonin (sp?) (mood chemical) in the brain. My husband has lived with depression for several years so I know that works for him. For me, I throw myself into a subject and study the shit out of it to keep my brain occupied. Also, the advice on diet is a good one.
I post to my blog regularly, but not on a schedule. I keep a small notebook with me all the time so I can write down the stuff while its still fresh in my head. Later I work the final draft of a thought, idea or something that happened that day into what ends up on the blog.
Our bodies go through cycles. Sometimes we’re feeling tons of energy, and sometimes our bodies scream for a break. Drink tons of water and stay aware of the times of the day when you’re feeling awake/exhausted so you can find the pattern.
I blog when I have something to say. As a big talker I’m surprised there’s not more, but I try to blog at least twice a week. Once I got a larger audience I got shy. Right now I think I’m in a tired cycle like you are, once I feel better my brain will function again and I’ll feel the desire to post more often.
