Life is not always butterflies and pretty flowers, sunny skies and super powers, silver streams and fluffy kitties. Sometimes it's laser beams and rubble cities. (And yes, I was quoting a movie. Ten thousand points to the person who can name it.)
Sometimes you have an off day that bleeds over into an off week, and when you try to write about what your feeling and how you need to focus on the positives, it just sends you into a downward spiral that lasts an entire month. Fun times. :)
I decided right after I wrote that extremely negative blog post that it would never see the light of day. No need to put my problems on other people. But, I do think it's an important (albeit, depressing) step that everyone will go through multiple times after college (hell, unless you're a robot incapable of emotions, you've probably already felt the uncontrollable tears of hopelessness).
You're going to have stretches in your life where you're sad and frustrated and snap at people you care about. You're going to have a list of things you want to accomplish but not have the motivation to complete. You're going to fall into a place where even Disney movies can't help you.
But you can climb your way back out.
As you know, climbing is always harder than falling. It'll take more time to reach a state of contentedness than it did to become depressed. Try not to feel bad about this. You'll get there eventually if you keep moving forward. (And yes, not only did I start this blog post with a quote, I ended it with one. Different movie. Another ten thousand points).
So my question to you is: What do you do to get yourself out of a funk? As hard as it can be sometimes, I've found that the best thing to do is keep busy--hang out with friends, exercise, the sort of stuff that doesn't let me think too deeply about things.
And my challenge to you: If you're feeling down, talk to someone. A friend, family members, heck, go see someone professional if you have to. Like I said before, unless they're a robot, EVERYONE has experienced what you're going through to some degree. You might not want to talk about what's been bugging you, but it does help.
