unicornassassin Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 This is an outstanding idea. I'm naming mine Joe Francis (founder of Girls Gone Wild), because under no circumstances is Joe Francis allowed to beat me at anything.He's a great choice, he is a terrible, icky person!Ha! I love this! Kim Kardashian is finally useful for something.I know, right?! Ha. LOVED this idea!! You go girl! Kick KimK's ass!!I have one more strategy - play 'as if'. Or role playing. Or whatever you want to call it. For example, I had to read something for work, and I just couldn't bring myself to do it, so I pretended to be a news anchor and sat up straight, looked right at the screen, put on a serious face, and went on reading. Hands clasped, shoulders straight, gaze high. Finished it in half an hour. It's called 'fake it till you make it', and I like to make the faking fun. I like that one, too, that's great! I used it once. I didn't want to get out of bed and I felt sluggish, so I pretended like I was a slug and slid out of bed and rolled around and wormed around the floor until it was just too ridiculous and I had to get up and do something.

Rivanariko Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 This. Is. Amazing. You might be my new hero. Quote "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that leads to total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." -Frank Herbert, Dune Link to comment

Artinum Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I've been really depressed lately, and I'm finally coming out of it, so that's AWESOME. I had to share what helped me, because I think it's just hilarious.I read that Winston Churchill named his depression 'the black dog.' I decided that I would name my depression "Kim Kardashian" because then I can tell myself all kinds of hilariously absurd things- such as:Kim Kardashian is really pissing me off.Eating all these cookies will not make Kim Kardashian go away.Kim Kardashian is a total bitch.and my favorite-Staying in bed with Kim Kardashian all day is a really, really bad idea. (This one actually did get me out of bed after I had resolved to spend the entire day in bed.)Ouch. That one would get me out of bed pretty sharp too!This is a great idea. I knew about Mr Churchill's dog, but actually naming your depression is a fascinating concept. Not sure it would work for me - I've sort of done the opposite, dehumanising my depression to the point that I consider it the equivalent of defragmenting my brain. It's a process that just happens, so I let it run in the background and finish in its own time while I make a list and get as much done as I can.If I were to name my depression... ooh, James Nesbitt. There's something about that man's face and especially his voice that fills my brain with sharp splinters of ice. If I woke up in bed with James Nesbitt I wouldn't simply fight it, I'd try to smother it with a pillow. Gaaah! Quote What happens when you play Final Fantasy VII with everyone called Cloud?

Artinum Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Don't let the seductress sink her claws into you or she'll take everything you've got, especially your underwear. I miss the days when seductive young things were after my underwear. These days it's just those underpants gnomes. I've been slipping into James Nesbitt recently (that sounds horrible on so many levels...) and today I've managed to pull myself out (no, not getting any better!). I think, on second thoughts, I need a sillier, more abstract name for my black moods. Hmm... Birmingham...? Quote What happens when you play Final Fantasy VII with everyone called Cloud?

katpower Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Kim Kardashian has been giving me a hard time for the last few weeks. Trouble sleeping, trouble waking, trouble giving a crap about anything... most noticeable at work, where I'm just struggling to care enough to do even a mediocre job hoping it will blow over soon, because it sucks!

sheltiechick Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 How's it going katpower? Kim Kardashian wants to be my new BFF. I don't really like her. She literally is making me want to kill myself. And everybody is kind of like "don't be sad!" Oh I see. Just don't be sad. I never tried THAT before.IT'S SO SIMPLE. Quote Link to comment
