I don't like guns, I prefer teh shower floor with some good cutlery myself. But anyway.. not for a while now. A few seperate times definately.

Unfortunately I can relate to the work situation, when I've felt god-awful, my workmates always noticed. It's hard because you're usually doingn your best to hold it together and just get through the day, and when people come out with 'lighten up' and what not.. it doesn't help.

erm, the best advice I can give is to just really work on believing there is light at the end of it all, because there often is. Focusing on really picturing how things WILL be better soon enough, even if it is hard to believe right now, helps.

I tend to really become quite introverted and more spiritual in those times. It helps me to try and remember that I'm just in a transition period, and that life does not ever stop to leave you completely lost and stuck in any one moment. I believe in connecting energies in all things/people, and that every point in life has something to learn from even if it is thoroughly an awful experience. If you take a moment to really examine how your life is, you might find that aside from the things you cannot control, some of the downward spiral might be something you can stop, or give in to (if it is a path that is unavoidable, and fighting against it in the first place is what is causing the slump).

so, yeh.
