pondering about day-to-day moods

Jan 12, 2004 12:41

I find that I get depressed when there's nothing around me to be excited about. That's probably bad. Life can't always be fun and exciting. I was feeling really down this whole morning, wondering why I was alive, and then I thought about the idea of going online to Office Depot (after I get some work done) to see if I could find some useful organizing products for my bedroom, and then I felt happy and alive again, like there was something worth living for. What the hell is wrong with me?

I feel really sad when it feels like there's nothing worth doing in my life. I guess that's normal. And then when I think of something that I really want to do, I get happy again. I guess that's normal too. But there's still something missing here. Is it that my moods affect me more than most people? Or is it that my moods are the same as everybody else, but that my moods just fluctuate more than others?

I want to know what most people feel in there day to day life. I'm the kind of person that gets excited about the simplest things, so that should make me happier than the average person. But instead, I feel like I get sad more often than the average person. Maybe I get sadder AND happier than the average person, but I'm only focusing on the negative. I wish I had the option of living inside random people's heads for a few days to see what it was like being someone else, kinda like in Being John Malkovich. I guess I'm wondering if my moods are considered drastic, relative to other people. The highs are great, but the lows are difficult to endure sometimes.
