Best ways to pull yourself out of a slump?

[Olmate]

 Were you a punter? Get a gambling account in your home country, win some, lose some. That keeps me motivated.

Go to sleep.  When you wake up go back to sleep.  Repeat until you wake up being very sure that you need to go the airport and fly far away.  Get out of bed and do that immediately.

why should i fly away? a wise man once told me that running from your problems never solves anything.

Start cleansing your mind and your body.

 

Gym plus healthy eating and plenty of water for your body.

 

read the classics in philosophy and literature for your mind.

 

You need to begin identifying yourself with positive and healthy things.

 

It might be good to relocate to a place where drinking and mongering is not as prevalent.

This depends on what your problems are.  If your problems stem from where you are, leaving or relocating is a sensible option.

This guy seems to have some idea of pulling himself out of a slump.:

But joking aside: I think alcohol is the wrong way to go. It is a depressant.

 

Look at your normal day and what you do? Has it become routine? Propping up a bar? Or plonked in front of the tv all day, glass in hand?

 

Try a change of scenery.  Even a long weekend away can do wonders. Find some form of exercise that you enjoy and doesn't seem a chore. Keep yourself occupied so you don't have time to dwell on things.

What problems?

Drinking? Stop drinking

Junk food? Eat better

 

You seem to be depressed because you created it. Simply create a new reality.

 

Go have a cold shower. Do the exercise i gave you for 10 minutes. Go to bed. Get up have a cold shower. Do exercise for 10 minutes. Then go walk 45 minutes. Buy some yoghurt go home. Cold shower. Repeat exercise. Do this daily until your mind isnt in a rut anymore.

Get some help unless you want to kill yourself slowly but surely.

Surely smashing a bottle of jack and a pair of sluzza's too often will negate the "slowly" part of your post !!

Go for the women and Jack 

Then have think about what to do next

I guess he means Jack Daniels bourbon which is not something I like..

[biervoormij]

Why not take a lady to visit Koh Chang? That got you out of your slump in the past.

Have to be careful here but OP posts as "female". If that is true, it probably explains the whole thing, but there is always the outside possibility that women might be the answer.

[Hummin]

The classic advise, pull yourself together and start waking up early in the morning, and go for a walk, then hit the gym, swim, read a book, early in bed, quality sleep, and repeat the same next day! Eat healthy and stop drinking or taking  drugs! 

 

After 90 days you have established a new life and new routines. Short applausen ????

thanks for the 1 or 2 geunine com,ments and special thanks to the nasty, vitriolic comments as well.

 

you really do know how to make a person feel welcome.

If you are going to start threads that do nothing but complain about your situation in Thailand, what do you expect?

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result. You have to make the changes, no-one else will do it for you.

Better for you if you stop posting and get off your backside, wallowing in self-pity won't help you.

Have you given thought that Thailand is maybe the wrong place for you?

It's that time of the month!

[Fat is a type of crazy]

Get a job hippie. If necessary back in your home country. Too much time to think. 

[mania]

I doubt anyone can help a depressed person especially one they don't know

 

But if your sincere in all your recent messed up mental state posts then really you should

A- Seek professional help

B- Get out of Thailand

 

There are some folks who should never have come to Thailand

They just cannot handle it & it's form of freedom or lack of limits

They just implode eventually

 

Really hope you find help before you join the flying club that helps so many expats exit Thailand

Tramdol works well.  But after a while on it.  Trying to come off and you will feel the wrath of hell. Last resort and make sure you can keep being prescribed it in your home country.  Australia stopped pescribing tramadol in most cases.

Energy flows where your focus goes. Focus on feeling sad you feel sad. Focus on feeling good you feel good.

 

Shoulders back

Smile 2 mins

Think of a great beach or something

Say Im happy, im healthy, im fit and well

Long deep breaths

 

Repeat 5 times a day. After 25 days you will believe it.

 

 

For motivating songs, Ivor Cutler's "I'm Happy" takes some beating.

Get up early in the morning and go for a 2km walk, or a swim. Do it every day and you'll soon feel much better.
