Can I use this for my signature??

Phenominal work by the way!

Been feeling really down lately. I'm not finding consistency in my day to day life, and I cannot muster up any energy to do anything, even the things I used to love like working out or playing hockey. This is not a cry for help, I just want to know what others have done to get out of it... did you just wait it out, or make some big changes in your life or did something else...?
I think I just really need a girlfriend

@Alflives You're right
I volunteered for a rec league called Halifax plays (I'm out on the east coast). It's a ball hockey league. I'm going to do that in the New Year as well.
@skategal I've definitely dealt with ups and downs before, but it wasn't like "having a bad day" kind of down, it is something that has been brewing for a while. I always feel weird about talking about that with friends/family for some reason. It's somewhat strange, I suppose, that I felt I can mention this on an online forum where I can stay anonymous...

Just to show how things will work out: Years ago Mrs. Alf and I bought a property at Crescent Beach (The east coast Crescent Beach, down past Bridgewater). Soon after the old Alf (me) started having troubles walking, and began his scooter days. I was extremely depressed, and figured my trips to our east coast get-a-way were over. Then, the wife bought a fancy van, and she drove me and my scooter across Canada. It was fun! Although my first day at the beach house, I looked out and realized wasn't getting over the rocks to the water. Depression set in again. Well, next I know, the wife's got me in the van again (with my scooter) and she is driving right onto the beach - literally. (You know, Crescent Beach is one lots of people drive on) We parked on the beach. She helped me into my scooter, and off I went. I even rolled into the surf. The coolest part was, once in the water, I was kind of free. It was an amazing feeling really.
Keep doing what you're doing, and letting people help you. Better days are ahead for you too

@Alflives You are one of my favourite posters on this forum and you've been putting a smile on my face ever since I've started noticing your posts on these boards. Thanks for sharing that memory, it put a huge smile on my face at work

I haven't been to crescent beach yet, but you can bet your bottom dollar that once I go down there in the summer I will think of you. The drive across Canada has been on the ol' bucket list for a while now. I think once I get settled into my new job, I'll see if I can get away for a few weeks and do it.
I have honestly been in a lot worse state of mind before but just didn't reach out. This time I was just wondering how other people dealt with it, so I wanted to get some input from others. I know I'm not the first or last person to go through a slump. I think waiting around for it to pass was the wrong move for me, I should have gone out and made some decisions. Live and learn.
