Restless and Depressed
Posted by Arielle83I was about to say, this chick sounds like she's suffering from bipolar disorder.
Sounds like me.
I'm bipolar type 2
OP, you need to seek some medical advice on this one, like getting on meds to help mellow out those funky chemical imbalances causing these swings.
Posted by rockyroadicecreamI really would not want to be labeled as bipolar. I just came from an abusive home, and have never found a way to fix my emotional damage, and have been depressed for a very long time. When I'm not depressed I have energy and am upbeat but it's not usually just spurts of mania and depression, things do trigger it, I just don't know how to ignore those things and find inner peace.Posted by Arielle83I was about to say, this chick sounds like she's suffering from bipolar disorder.

Try and pick up one instrument and play it OP and take it from there, even if you play it for half an hour a day

You (and OP, possibly) seem very self aware.
Do you, or have you in the past, done cognitive
behavioral therapy, or... ?
That's pretty unusual to do well without meds--
Good though.

Hi, sounds good but also bad, I'm like this too. Really hard on myself and I want to be the best at everything and never rest, I don't want to waste time, I want to make the most out of life, and I always want a new challenge! Us Aries always look for the next mountain to climb, and we never feel like we're at the top because we want to push beyond limitations. Obviously this is a good way to be, but we can be really hard on ourselves, and we need to rest too.
I think if you write down what you do, I know it's boring to write stuff down, but sometimes we forget everything we do, because we look to the future and think what next. We need to remember how much we do, and what we've achieved so far, how much we already do. Some people achieve nothing and think they are the best for no reason, talking shit about how good they are, when they are only average. But Aries are the total opposite, they think they aren't doing enough when they actually are doing a lot. When most people at work at talking about how good they are, Aries are doing more and thinking about the next level, which is why they do well in business.
I don't think you are missing anything, I have the same feeling, I don't want to miss anything in life. Try to remember all the things you have, and what you've done. Know that everyone in life is not meant to have the exact same things or life as anyone else, so don't compare yourself to anyone else. Whilst you may not be able to do everything, do what you think is best for you as a person, and be the best possible version of yourself.

Depressed? Maybe you need to step outside of all these things and do something totally off the wall different. Fresh perspective.
Triple Aries?? Physical activity will set you right. Swim/run/bike all that out.
I think Aries need someone to spring them into spontaneous things, it keeps them alive. They arent v good at doing it themselves, my bf is like this anyway (triple Aries also) and he gets feeling the same way. I think its his mind's way of saying YOU NEED SOMETHING NEW! But they don't know how to translate it themselves. Without me he lives a v sedentry, routine work filled day/week/month. I have to encourage him to do things when i'm not around, it actually breaks my heart a wee bit.
Posted by MyStarsShineOkay lets see...I think I even talked about hobbies her---instruments I already play::
Try and pick up one instrument and play it OP and take it from there, even if you play it for half an hour a day
Small steps and that is difficult for an Aries i know....but try it
-Piano
-Guitar
-Cello
-Electric Bass
-Violin
-Flute
-Mandolin
-Ukelele
-Drums
I'm always practicing. In fact my music is part of my depression.

I recently memorised a tough piano piece my Chopin and I remember thinking to myself how proud I felt. I also have a chalkboard by my bed with all my goals, three vision boards on my wall, and quotes about success painted around. I try to keep journals remindingmyself of my success, and I even have one where every doubt i have or every time someone has doubted me or told me i'm a failure or getting nowhere, a response as to why it isn't true and the things I do, I try to do exactly that but lose track it it by focusing on the goals, and i know deep down it really is worth sitting there and taking the time to do this for yourself. I'm glad i'm not the only one, I don't feel as crazy. But it's tough.

From my understanding, it's a more practical
approach to problem solving via therapy-- far
from Freudian and more 'real life' centered.
But that's a crappy explanation so let's Wiki;
Wiki
CBT focuses on the development of personal coping strategiesthat target solving current problems and changing unhelpful patterns in cognitions(e.g. thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes), behaviors, and emotional regulation.
It was originally designed to treat depression, and is now used for a number of mental health conditions.
BT is "problem-focused" and "action-oriented", meaning it is used to treat specific problems related to a diagnosed mental disorder and the therapist's role is to assist the client in finding and practising effective strategies to address the identified goals and decrease symptoms of the disorder.

Posted by LibraLovesHimInteresting...I just am unsure what to do exactly :/ I'm a musician, I also study all kinds of sciences, I'm very into atheletics, I sometimes teach individually, I like taking online courses of different things, I love astronomy and other spiritual things, study wiccan along with many different religions, I always try to keep up with learning and becoming excellent at things but it's not enough

Posted by AprilFoolsUHoeDo you have to be constantly juggling a million things at once. You sound dissatisfied and you seeking satisfaction externally. The mind is a bad master but a good slave. Unfortunately it has the power to give us symptoms which the cure for don't always seem to be as immediately responsive as WE want to think. Maybe have a talk with someone you can trust, someone who knows you well, ask for some feedback on yourSELF-and try to work on it.Posted by LibraLovesHimInteresting...I just am unsure what to do exactly :/ I'm a musician, I also study all kinds of sciences, I'm very into atheletics, I sometimes teach individually, I like taking online courses of different things, I love astronomy and other spiritual things, study wiccan along with many different religions, I always try to keep up with learning and becoming excellent at things but it's not enough

Are you trying to distract yourself from anything in all of this? Defo sounds like the problem is deeper than just feeling dissatisfied with ones achievements-I know thats how its relaying itsself to you though.
Life and happiness are alot simpler than we've been taught to believe in this current rat race society. Joy and fulfillment are to be found in simple basic things, not always in the next MBA, weights on your bar or km ran. You'd be chasing forever then.
Posted by LibraLovesHimI know that I kind of missed out on a childhood, and my mom was one of those mentaly ill narassistic people, and I was an only child and unfortunatley the scapegoat, and multiple times she has done thing to sabotouge me, or make it seem like she's on my side just to find an excuse to put me down, and because of her nasty efforts, she actually did manage to make things harder on me. I was a very good student so she pulled me out of school for three years and kept me far away from everyone to a different state, took away all electronics if I ever tired to get help, and then when I finally got out she made it almost impossible for me to go to school again, but lets just say I didn't go back to school until what SHOULD have been my senior year (or junior if you don't count the grade I skipped) So now I'm struggling because I still havea year i could do and she's making it difficult for me and convincing my family to do the same and It's like she spent my whole life training me to do music but tearing me down every time i messed up or didn't make an audition etc. and it makes me sort of hate it and idk if i could ever make it, but If i don't finish school im so fucked if i dont make it, but its really difficult to do school when every day people scorn you for being there, and then scorn you for your grades when they donnt even want you there, and when they're the reason you have learning blocks and all sorts of shit. It's stressful, and I see all my friends in good home situations, with families who support them and don't do things to sabotouge them and help them succeed, and then I see all these feats they have and I get sad. I know I'm good, I'm VERY good at what I do, people come to me for advice with the things I do, but no matter what, I will never have the proof of accomplishmets that they have even if i'm better ebcause they had people in their lives to that didn't keep them from those things. I did. I missed so many oppurtunites and contests, and activities, and clubs, and everything that could have helped me shpw proof to colleges, or people of my success and hard work. I don't have it though, and I'm realy afraid of failing in my life. That's wHY i'm depressed, these never been a question about why I already know the issue, theres just not much I can do to fix it that i'm not already doing.Posted by AprilFoolsUHoeDo you have to be constantly juggling a million things at once.

my best shot at advice after what I've read
I think first and foremost you need to get a job (earn money somehow) and start saving some money in order to get away from your mother asap after you graduate school - her interference is messing you up - when you are responsible for yourself and making your own decisions you can decide what is best for you to do to survive, thrive and enjoy your life

It sounds like there’s a lot going on, I think people here have suggested good things but it comes down to what works for you. I tried CBT and yoga and all that. I was never the cleverest guy, but worked hard, some things I’ve done well at and others I haven’t. Aries are perfectionist, so it’s very easy to get caught up on the things you’ve failed at, or thought you failed at. But life is about making mistakes, you’re meant to make as many mistakes in life as possible, the worst thing you can do is not try and always be afraid, always push forward and take the challenge, and never worry about the outcome, because if you keep going, then success will come.
You are strong and sure of your abilities now, but for every level there is another devil, the better you become the more people will hate you for it. Whatever you do, why every you do anything, then do it for yourself, don’t do it for anyone else. Not everyone has the same challenges in life, they will never fully understand why you do things. Don’t listen to anyone trying to put you down. People see things in life that they were scared to do, and because of that they don’t want others to do it, so they discourage them.
You ever seen Rocky 3, probably too much of an old movie for you, but the scene on the beach, where Rocky is upset, and he wife has to talk him out of it and asks what’s wrong. And he says he’s afraid, and his wife says don’t do it for anyone else but yourself, don’t do it for the money or anything else. It’s a good film and worth watching, or at least just watch the scene because it’s famous. But find what’s best for you, if you’re working hard for something you don’t really want, then of course you won’t be happy. Finding what you really want to do, who you really want to be, it’s difficult but really important, just decide who it is you want to be. And all this hurt, all these obstacles, all these negative comments, mistakes, and all the pain will turn into your success, the pain will become part of your pride and part of your confidence. The more you know who you are and what you want, then the less you will let other things bother you.

I just recently had the best sex OF MY LIFE with a Leo male.. So my question now is... Is the sex ALWAYS this great between a Leo and Aries??!
I've posted something similar before but never really heard from any couples of this combination.
Happy to hear from either Capricorn or Aries as would like to hear both sides of the story.
I am Capricorn female married to an Aries male. .
I fall into heavy heavy depression periods that last months to years, and i'm currently in one and having a good enough day to talk about it. I feel like a failure and lost, and I get very suicidal. Not news, that's not the thing.
The biggest problem I have is when i am so down, I can't get out of bed without feeling like i'll faint every two minutes, I'm too emotionally drained to do anything, but I am so gosh darn restless, I want to do EVERYTHING. I wan't to work out, I want to practice all my instruments, I want to go out with people, I (admittedly my scapegoat in these situations and my total release) want to--and usually do---have random sex with random people---I want to be the best, but I feel the worst. I want to be on top but I feel at the bottom, and it's so hard to deal with because I know I need to take time to better myself emotionally, but the fact that i'm unable to do those things and am sick makes me feel even worst because I feel like I fail myself and it's a cycle that makes things worst.
I know some rams go through this type of thing, and I also know some rams really have inner peace.
I'm just curious, does anyone relate, has anyone been here before and overcome? What am I really missing in life? I don't want a relationship right now that's not it at all, I love being with myself it makes me feel empowered like I can take on the world with no one holding me back, I don't need a new hobby I literally take on new things all the time, i'm a very active aries.
I'd love some advice from my more experianced fellow.
Thank you.
