Its the doom and gloom that is alot of the British mate, more pesamists than optimists in this country, winds me up alot of the time. The media and news dont help.
Trust me, stay busy, really concentrate on positives in life, do more of what you enjoy, whether you think I really cant be arsed, just do it, it WILL get better, I know you love dogs, go out for walks more, dogs are the best!!!. Especially if youve had a crappy day they will always jump up and wag their tail with excitement at you no matter what.
I dont know if your into sports, or excersise, but anything like that will produce natural endorphines, a natrual high, and you will already feel better after smacking a squash ball around a court or whatever.
The more you stay in and think (deeply as you say) the more of a rutt you`ll get stuck in. I know its easy for someone to tell you this, but I have first hand experience as In 1999 I had an 50ft accident off a carpark due to having some mental issues for a couple of years, and basically smashed myself up badly, was put on antidepresents and all sorts of unessecary crap at the time which just delayed the problem and basically caused me too loose any will or strength I had inside me. The most ridiculous thing I could have ever done in my life and anyone that knows me now would think its ridiculous and stupid, altho I have come out of it incredibly strong minded, but at the time, it wasnt me when I look back. Im so against anti depressents because I feel they just delay a problem, although everyone is different, and chemical imbalances obviously need meds.
Altho the road to recovery was, see positives in anything I enjoy, force myself to do activities (was tricky for the first year as I couldnt walk unaided), got back into the car scene, after 5 years got another Renault 11 Turbo thinking id never have a fun car again, but ive got myself to a stage now where im really happy, got a great girlfriend, love life, love my car, busy with work, looking forward to getting a place with the mrs, and getting too big Golden Retrievers before even thinking about kids or marriage, hahaha, and basically dealing with anything and everything that gets thrown at me.
Trust me Raj, things do get better, but my advise is too keep busy as much as you can, get too meets if you can, take the dog out for long walks!!! Watch some good old school action films with Arny, as they are the best!!!
but its great news on the Taxi driving, could be an excellent turning point, I wish you the best of luck with that.
