9 Signs That You're Depressed
9 Signs That You’re Depressed Being Single
You and I both know it. You’re
single and depressed about it. If you believe that you’re probably doing okay,
odds are you’re lying to yourself. So now you’re both depressed and a
liar. Here are are some concrete signs that you’re despondent without a life
partner.
- You ache to return texts or calls out of fear
Do you miss the anxiety of realizing
you haven’t responded to a text in four hours? You probably don’t even remember
the feeling of seeing a timestamp and knowing shit is gonna hit the fan when
you get home. This memory loss is a strong sign that you now have the inability
to care about meaningless things that other people are sensitive about, and it
only gets worse the longer you’re single.
2. You find yourself with too much
free time because you don’t have any obligations
You’re getting out of work and you
might want to hit the gym, might watch TV or maybe masturbate. Or you might
not. When you look at your schedule you sadly realize you can do all of these things.
Or none of them. The choice to do whatever you want is agonizing. You’re
probably longing to be required to meet up with your girlfriend at her work
happy hour and have to talk to her coworker Travis who just graduated college
this year and is a Republican.
3. You have nightmares that you went
on vacation and slept with whoever you wanted
You are waking up in a cold sweat
night after night with horrid nightmares of going on vacation. The details fill
your mind as you made out with two hot locals in a hot tub and had sex with
both of them, only to wake up drunk at 1pm for a second round. You shudder at
the fact that there were no repercussions or baggage. These nightmares are
bound to continue as you journey into solitude.
4. You find yourself not censoring
your language
When talking with your friends, are
you just talking to your friends? Yeah, thought so. Its a bad sign that you’re
no longer censoring your language to avoid confrontation or hurt feelings.
You’re saying whatever you want to say, and this could be deadly.
5. You envy the fights your coupled
friends have
You are getting messages from your
friends who are in relationships with screenshots of their text-fights and
dreaming of the day this could be you. You want to be the one to say “It’s not
what you said but its the way you said it” so that he can reply “I was
repeating what you were saying, not actually saying it myself” so that you can
reply “But you said it!” Sigh.
6. You’re upset because your
mistakes in the past aren’t brought up all the time and you might forget them.
How are you going to remember your
mistakes if there isn’t someone to bring them up anytime you make another one?
Its a legitimate problem and dating someone is the only solution. You need a
real live mistake-keeper that takes the one shitty thing you did and then lists
off everything else in reverse-chronological order, simply so you can remember
them. Because they care about your memory!
7. You have too much energy from not
being responsible for another person
You’re going out to a club and
realize you aren’t exhausted halfway into the night, and unfortunately you may
have to stay out longer. This is because you don’t have a boyfriend or
girlfriend who’s over serving themselves and needing to be watched. Did he just
take off his shirt? Where is his shirt? Let me grab it and put it in my purse.
Did she just vomit on that stranger? Let me profusely apologize, give him $20,
then have her yell at me in the cab that “she’s fine and I’m an asshole” for
putting her to bed at 11pm. Having these opportunities for energy-loss and
exhaustion lets you go home at a reasonable hour.
8. You miss pretending to like
someone’s friends
When you meet people in your life
that you don’t like, it’s depressing that you are able to avoid them. You wish
to meet people you don’t like that you’re required to hang out with and can’t
say anything about.
9. You look around and see a lot of
new environments, rather than the same apartment
You find yourself doing a lot of
different things every weekend and it’s confusing and sad. New bar after new
apartment after new city, all with new people to meet — it gets confusing! You miss the days where you sat in one of
your apartments weeks and weeks on end, sitting in your farts while reminding
each other that you should really get some art to cover the blank white walls.
