Disorganization. ADHD. Not getting enough sleep. Wild mood swings. Crushing self doubt. Lack of willpower. Too many talents, not enough time. Having no answers and no illusions that they'll ever materialize.
All that, and still somehow getting out of bed each morning.
A few additional remedies not previously mentioned:
I know you said you don't want to stop sleeping with her, but if left unchecked, lack of sleep can start to cause real distance or animosity in relationships. If you truly love her, do not let your girlfriend be your excuse for why you can't get a good night's sleep.
When walking/running without a dedicated paved pedestrian path, it is highly advised to run AGAINST oncoming traffic.
When running on a paved pedestrian walkway, the side of the street is usually immaterial, but you should still observe the local pedestrian right of way – if most people walk to their right side, you should run on the right, and pass on the left.
The reason the side of the road doesn't matter when running on the sidewalk is simply that each pedestrian path usually corresponds to "both sides" of a roadway, and allows foot traffic in both directions.
Obviously, in cases with one-way walking paths (very rare), you should run in the same direction as indicated by signage/other pedestrians.
Do people run on the same side of the pavement as the side they drive cars on the road?
In terms of the words themselves: it's not so much that they are "made up", as that they are not very descriptive in and of themselves… And thus, one person's idea of 'good' can be another's idea of 'bad'. Think "cost savings vs. environmental impact" for one example.
In terms of "good and bad incarnate": Yes, both good and bad exist as universal forces, constantly battling each other by various proxies, and maintaining the ultimate balance across all space time. After all, if only one or the other existed, there would be no way to make sure which it was without its opposite… Similarly, if neither good nor bad existed, then life would be much more unified, and by extension, rather dull.
I see restaurants doing this now. It makes the water disgusting. Why??
Deano says: Believe it or not, there are people who disagree with you on the taste. 
Shocking, I know.
But, similarly to how various types of soda flavors have their supporters and detractors, the various "flavor infusing" garnishes taste good to some, and terrible to others.
Cucumber water is especially interesting, because of the phrase "as cool as a cucumber"… This phrase isn't just an idiom, but a scientific fact: due to the structure and composition of the external skin of a cuke, along with its high internal water content, the inside of a cucumber remains quite cool even during the summer months (the natural harvest of cucumbers typically runs May to July)… This led to not only the idiomatic phrase, but also the inclusion of cucumbers in all manner of summertime dishes, to help achieve that "flavor association" with cool/cold when it is most needed by us easily-psychologically-tricked humans. 😉
Because of the high internal water content, sliced cukes will readily pass on their flavor into a normal water vessel quite rapidly. This flavor, in turn, tastes "cool" to those with a taste for it, and in our increasingly-HFCS[*]-addicted society, having a flavorful alternative to Mountain Dew and Starbucks 4-pump Venti Green Iced Tea – especially one so cheap and easily made – can be a great way to convince people to drink more water.
Drink more water, be less hungry, less tired, have better skin… There are a bunch of good outcomes for adding natural flavoring (especially zero-calorie flavoring) to water… If you don't appreciate cucumber water by itself, you might try a cucumber mint or cucumber lemon combination… For added effect, try drinking it while taking a sauna/steam/jacuzzi. Best when a contrasting rivulet of hot salty sweat runs down over your lips right before taking a sip. Yuuuuuuum!
And if all that doesn't work, well, then cucumber water isn't for you. So what? Not the end of the world… Just use lemon, lime, mint, or good ol' plain water, to the tune of around a gallon a day, and reap the benefits of the laziest form of fitness there is: proper hydration.
