Depressed

I was depressed yesterday, most of the day. Then I thought it passed. Yet it began again this noon. There’s nothing serious, just some general frustration, argument, and disappointment to myself. I always become upset periodically anyway. This time, I found the words like “tmd” are really helpful in terms of relieving stress. Oh, this reminds me that I have bubble wrap!

Anyway, after a colloquium about “Fundamental Physics Through Astrophysics” by a professor from Harvard, I somewhat felt better. His talk was kind of entertaining, although not easy to follow. My feeling better might have something to do with the fact he talked about the confusion, frustration and desperation some physicists are facing though my depression is not necessarily from physics. Or, I’m feeling better simply because the talk occupied my mind for an hour, and the depression signal in the brain just faded away.

We all will be fine. So, whatever.

  1. 其实对于我们男人来讲,总有“每个月的那几天”会感到情绪低落,没有什么特别的原因。我觉得这是一种fundamental depression,召之即来挥之不去无法可解,忍一忍也就过去了。

  2. 快点振作起来哈。。。偶1000 pass了,真是奇迹啊。。。偶是多么想被check,可以学车再去美国。。。5.12就到St.Paul了。。

  3. [quote comment=”3731″]you might want trying some sports

    Sports should help. But I’m just not a sports guy, too lazy. I kind of remember there were several weeks back in college when I worked out, I was energetic and in general positive. But, I guess it’s just a metastable state…couldn’t last long, hoho. Talking with friends is better, if I can be totally open. Writing this on blog is kind of seeking care from friends, right? ;)

    Hand! There are many things that can distract us from this fundamental depression. But they won’t completely remove it. Maybe it’s just the necessary phase we need to go through once in a while to keep moving on.

    cool. may you have an exciting adventure and taste some foreign flavors! *_*

  4. hahhhh, man has period too. That’s funny! I’m sure it will be over. If you can’t do anything, don’t force yourself to. Lying under the sun and reading a novel might help. You just need something to distract your attention. Like me, this moment, I’m no longer depressed but disturbed.

  5. I think my problem is sometimes I’m too nice to myself. I have very poor self discipline. and this is a resource of my depression.
    movies can be my distraction, experiencing others’ lives. but disturbed v.s. depressed, ummm, I’m not sure which one is better ;)

  6. Well, I got distracted by a movie tonight: Pan’s Labyrinth. A little heavy and scary but I loved it. The next movie I want to see is: “Paris, Je t’aime. “

  7. Pan’s Labyrinth is a great movie. It’s beautiful, violent, and sad at the same time. very good in terms of getting our mind out of this world.

    Paris, Je t’aime. haven’t heard of this movie, let me know whether it’s any good:)

  8. I always become upset periodically anyway.

  10. It is the listed film for DC film festival. There were a lot of French movies. I hope the films for the festival could be available in theater soon.
    To Ciel: where did you find the film? on DVD or in threater?

    Another film I want to see is “the live of others”.

  11. to jane:

    the live of others is a nice movie. I particularly like its name because I used to call my movie section “others’ lives”, hoho.

    也不算bug,之前就发现了,因为html都是用大小于号加语句的。。。连续输入下面四个字符 “& l t ;”(去掉中间的空格)才能显示小于号而不吃掉后面的字,大于号是“& g t ;”。>_< 这样就没事。。。

  13. Pig, I thought about you yesterday when I was still in Amsterdam, perhaps because of the ending of your film “lisao”. I bought you a card, but I need you tell me your address.
    I will go to Vienne after three weeks. Beside of talking to friends, doing some sport, sometimes tring to have a change is good way to make one better.
    Ha, you can learn from me how to complain, that helps a lot as well.

  14. [quote comment=”3748″]倒塌……
    >_<

    好傻啊……[/quote]
    赞!女儿就是冰雪聪明!yoyo

    I will be fine:)
    I think as long as I can do good in tomorrow’s poster session, finish all the hw, pass all the quizzes, get good experiment result, and submit a great proposal, and give a fantastic presentation, I will be fine;)

  15. the big apple circus is coming. go to watch that for $5 (order online via Hop, limited). it is in late July.
    it will be a good relaxation after your proposal.

  16. It’s very well made, and definitely deserves the oscar it received. though many people enjoy Pan’s Labyrinth better. I like them both in the same way. Just not crazy about them.

    I got Paris, Je t’aime, and was astonished how many big name directors and familiar faces are behind it. And I didn’t know about it! Shame ~~ I don’t know when I will have time to watch it though:(

  17. Come on,that’s nothing to be shamed about. For the “Movie Star” party I went to, their dress often times refers to films I barely heard about (at least the English names). It’s not about how many more films you have seen, it is about how much the movies you see help you see more…about yourself, your life and the lives of the others^7^
