Symptoms of depression?

[Guest BOYD]

Ok seems to me that the minute I get a opportunity to get bummed out or depressed I do.

Like yesterday, I was very excited to get this cast off of my ankle. So here comes

the Dr only to tell me that I still have a long road ahead of me. Plus gives me this LOOK of are you crazy dude.

So that puts me into a tail spin. Heavy head and chest more so than just sad.

Then today all is fine.

Was I depressed for the day? Is that to be expected on Lexapro?

Also what is Sod?

[Thomas]

its English English versus American English.  I'll try to find your answer though.

All those uses come from (According to the Oxford English Dictionary) a short form of "sodomite", used as far back as 1818.

The use as grass pads comes from the Middle Dutch "Soden" or " zoden" and has been around since at least 1653.

Can I expect to have it said if I take someones parking spot.

It lacks the sting of the good ole fashion FU.

Sod you, Mothersodder...

I wouldn't expect to hear it too much in the U.S.

Actually I have hear it on XBOX live from the English guys on PGR3.

If they get mad at someone they say You Sod or What a sod.

Thank you so much You are no Sod, Dude Tommy

It is a noun so is improperly used  by saying Sod you, Perry Como..........

The Brits also use the expression "Sod's Law", which is the equivalent to Murphy's in meaning.

FWIW.

Another variant  is  "Sod off", also "Sod all".

English is such a flexible language when it comes to cursing.

It is a colloquialism and is properly used as such.

You're not gonna find it in an American dictionary Boyd, it's British. They say it over there all the time. "Sod mum" is a big one - as is "sod this" and "sod that" and "sod you." Kind of like "bugger."  Like "bugger off you git."

Oh people and tweaks alike ..................

One of my personal Tweaks gave me advice on my situational depression

of the moment. Never mind!!!!!!!!

 

Sod it.

Sod off is the name of a Bjork song. I like it.

[celestia]

S9 seems to have lost her docking port, over the inability to tweak her ship

into that tight slip.  Bullocks is English too. Wanker must be American.

Wanker is most definitely a term used in Britian and the UK in general, and you are, most assuredly, qualifed.

I don't want to dock, there is no safe port in this fucking galaxy. I'll just stay out here where it's cold and dark and stuff is shiny, thank you. You sot.

[~nestling~]

*sod* was something my father often called my mother....and me...in his anger......

and yes, I'm English. so is he. and mum too.

back to you, Boyd, how're you feeling now?

[trailerparkbarbie]

Well sod it!!!!

SOD....suck on dis????

SOD....suck on dat????

Who gives a sod what it means. I'm gonna use it. I'll just work it into some conversation with my neighbor or something.

[~nestling~]

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better, Boyd. And I hope your foot heals up soon.

And, yes, sod is kinda insulting. And, yes, I do live in England.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes. It's to be expected whether you're taking an anti-depressant or not. Being depressed for a day over getting bad -- or not as good as you want -- is a normal part of any emotional life. Entirely 'normal' folk get days like this as well. People naturally have down times and moments as well as various other kinds.
