I've been trying to be happy, trying to make a better life for myself. Everything I do to do that backfires. Everytime I start to feel happy, something happens that takes it away and leaves me more miserable than ever before. I'm running on empty, and I just don't know if I can keep pushing myself without something to make it worth it.
I've been depressed lately. I didn't realize how depressed I've felt until I had an emotional breakdown yesterday and spent about 10 minutes crying and talking to my friend. I felt ridiculous at the time, but it felt good afterward. Clearly, I need to do something different.
This question plagues me. I'm not doing all that great, but I'm fine. Mostly, I'm just unhappy, but I also have some health problems that I ignore. When people ask me this, I usually say something like, "I'm still alive and kickin'. I figure, as long as I have that, it could always be worse." Really, that's just a bullshit line I give so I don't have to endure the probing questions followed by the unwanted and often useless advice, and it's easier for me not to dwell on my unhappiness if I don't give the full rundown to everybody that asks. Plus, I really don't have it all that bad, and a lot of the people I explain my whole situation to seem to either want to put me on a pedestal for doing as well as I do or pity me for it all. Fuck that noise.

... Thanks?
I'm not sure what to do. I'm lonely, and I can't seem to get in touch with any of my "friends". I quote that because I haven't seen them for weeks now. I don't know why. I'm tempted to get back into the online social world again, but it seems less than satisfying after having had friends in the real world. I miss having people to hang with. It seems that they were not real friends though, nothing I hadn't suspected, but it doesn't feel good to be proven right. Then again, maybe it's not them. It seems everybody I get close to drifts away no matter what I do to keep them. I'm tired of a lonely life.
The place I work at used to be a Maid-Rite and Godfather's, but we got rid of Godfather's. Something was criss-crossed in my mind yesterday, I tried to answer the phone "Maid-Rite, this is Godfather's." No clue why, but I caught myself about half through the last word. So, what I ended up saying is, "Maid-Rite, this is God.... Er..." *click* Who hangs up on God? lmao It caught me so off guard that I said it that it took me a couple minutes to stop laughing enough to explain to my coworkers what was so funny.
