I always distract myself (Painting, Mp3, dancing, running, reasearch) i think running is the best though.

My anger's been elevated lately (a rarity for me), which is a byproduct of despair. The only relief I've found is to repeatedly punch something to the point of exhaustion, and although this may sound bad I'm actually glad to have found a release. I am hoping some time with a punching bag will help.

My problem with physical activity in the past has been I tend to think more, not less. I'm even more aware of myself, like hyperawareness, and of whatever mood I am in. If I am happy then I become elated, and if I am 'depressed' then I sink into a pit. This is also what happens when I take drugs which is why I don't indulge in them. It seems like the usual outlets for these kinds of feelings just don't do it for me.

I am finally back from the abyss of depression...it's sure been a little while folks. I recently had a bad bout which turned me from my happy go-lucky forever looking at life through rose-colored glasses ENFP to my shadow self...very nasty indeed! The worst part was that I detested how I felt because I was SO negative and constantly picked a fight with the person I was angry with. yep...you guessed it my ISTJ SO! Who else do I allow to push all my buttons? All good now because I have a secret weapon which I use when things aren't going so well on the home front. And he thinks I cannot do details!!

good to hear you're well again.

BOO!!! you can't reply to the thread that its a secret, you must share. We have created a What is your current PerC mood and why? thread for chat

When I read this thread I think, maybe us INFPs and ISTJ's aren't so different after all ...after all of us are people.

difromoz - I'm glad to hear you got over the bout of depression. :-]

Daft Punk.
But it doesn't stay away forever. It seems the later in the night it gets the more depressed I get.

Thanks for the kind regards...that's all an ENFP needs to feel good!Sad isn't it that all of the fantastic thoughtful ISTJ traits like paying bills, reliability and so on have little impact on the depressed state of ENFP but a simple verbal acknowledgment does the trick immediately!

The secret per-say isn't a secret to you guys at all I imagine...it's simply applying the info I get from this forum!

Depression huh, usually i won't do much except brood over my emotions. But sometimes it just hits so hard the tears just come out, i was studying once and i just started weeping. I didn't know that it would turn out like this, the tears continued following the next day at lunch and some INFJ guy across the table was like "Hey, he seems really sad.." then some f;king douche kid says "Nooo way, no one can be crying while he's eating lunch, you're just imagining things". "Yeahh. but he looks so sad"... Depression sucks :(

I'd appreciate it if i was just left a one to deal with my emotions, I'm responsible for them and no one should be affected. *Sigh* seems like everyday I'm sad over something. just something. Just curious, are ISTJ's emotionally intense people?
