Depressed?

Mitchell said:
I used to get depressed about things that I realize are now bullshit. Things like not having a gf, not making enough money, obsessing over things my assistant said, and such. As most on the forum know, my mom was recently diagnosed with lung cancer. Looking back on it now, I'm thinking to myself "Damn, I used to get "depressed" over that shit! Now, mom and I have REALLY got problems.

I think it's natural for people to get depressed at times over life's setbacks. The key is when you let the depression overwhelm you, to the point of not being able to function, or obsessing about what makes you depressed all the time. Trust me, if I could make my mom's cancer go away, or it could get cured, I'd take every one of the fucking things I used to get depressed about, because, I've learned, if you have the necessities of life, you and your loved ones have their health, and the world as a whole is safe, other lesser things can be worked out.

I don't think the things I'm depressed about are small potatoes. They are personal things, however, and I do know for a fact that they are things that I cannot change.

Maybe I'm not depressed? Maybe I'm just flipping doomed. :disgust:
 
The last few months i have be very depressed all of you may have note st
I also now have anxiety ... this is not fun at all plus it is been a bad year as well!!.
🙁 .
 
I had a bad case of depreshion in college. I had days where I did not see the point of getting out of bed. Sleep became my escape from reality, add to that I went on meds that messed up my liver and I reached my highest weight. Now 8 years behind struggle with it at times but I refuse to let it and the anxiety get me down. I droped over 45 pounds and what keeps my spirits up is trying to identify 5 good things that happen durring my day. Sometimes taking pleasure in the little things in life can help.
love feet I hope it all works out for you. We all have different paths to deal with our issues, I'm not going to be preachey and say do this this and this, everyone finds their way to deal with things sooner or later. I hope you find your way sooner. Best of luck.
 
There are two ways to combat depression, change your current situation or change your perspective or a combination of both. Everybody suffers from it to some degree. Seek a therapist, there are a shitload of ways to control/alleviate it...I treat my depression by digging up and reburrying my ex wife's bones during a rainstorm.
 
I've grown to enjoy depression...

But if you embrace it, you can let it teach you very deep, personal, and wonderful things about the dark aspects of life. I choose to learn from it instead of "get around" it. It can do wonders for art work. Has done wonders for me, and I plan on keeping it that way.
 
Ah yes, I've dabbled in that world a few times. I think most of us have.

It can really suck too.

Can.

Depression and suicide has actually taught me some pretty amazing things. When overwhelmed about life and death, it taught me that it's important to pay more attention to people. To really LOOK at people. Study the small things about them. Learn about their quirks and learn to LOVE some of their quirks, but if that isn't possible, at least be aware of them/learn to tolerate them - stow them away in your heart; because they are the unique things about that person, they are beautiful, and it is important that, if you cannot cherish that beauty, at least acknowledge it, because you never know when you will never be able to see it again.

On some nights that I have been depressed, I would sit alone, in my room, and think. I would think about all of the people who have come into my life. Those who stayed. Those who left. Those who hurt me. Those who taught me things. One thing I recall throughout these periods is all of those ... little things ... that these people would do that pissed me off. All these things that annoyed the hell out of me. But then, when I stopped to listen to the silence in my room - or really, rather just the absence of any other people - ... I realized that some of the most annoying things we see/hear/feel from others may just be some of the most beautiful things on this living earth.

(I hope I didn't freak anyone out, but this is what I believe...)
 
I've been depressed ever since I could remember. I remember being really sad and angry as a kid. It is hard to diagnose depression in a kid. Most assume it is just part of growing up. I can't say my childhood was the greatest. I have a pretty crazy family. My depression got worse as I grew up. High school and College is when it got really bad. My senior year of high school my dad lost his job. It was like being stabbed in the heart. I thought I was going to get a car for college and it didn't happen. We also lost our health insurance. Thankfully my dads grandparents had money to help us. My dad kept trying to find a job. He is in his late 50s. That right there made it hard for him. He does have job now as a teachers aid. Well in college it was like I fell into a dark pit and couldn't crawl out. I would get mad at everything. Sometimes I would just cry for no reason. I hated my life and I just wanted to die. I would walk around my open campus late at night hoping some creepy man would kidnap me. I was drinking alcohol to get away from my problems. Finally during my junior year something snapped. I remember one day lying in bed and crying a river and I said I need help. I can't live like this anymore. If you are going to college please look into the counseling services. It was the best decision I ever made. I feel like a new person. I'm also on Zoloft. Don't call anti-depressants happy pills. There is no instant gratification. They help produce serotonin that will help you hopefully experience other emotions. Not just sad and angry. You probably will have side effects at first. I had nausea and headaches. Don't worry they will go away and trust me they have helped me out a lot. I don't know if I could have crawled out of my dark pit without them.

This is so right on. I never thought of things like this. that's awesome.

One more thing if you are depressed keep up with your personal appearence. When I was down I would not brush my hair or shave I had no energy too and I just did not see the point. Now when I start to feel down the first thing I do is comb and gel my hair and shave. It makes me feel refreshed and I just have a new air of confidence and things just don't seem as bleak. I know this might not work for all but I thought I would share it, because when dealing with depreshion one should take a whatever works approach.

I'm glad you feel that way. Thanks for the compliment on my text. 🙂

Thanks I'm glad I'm here too. It is hard to be sociable or make friends when your super depressed. I was dragging down the friends I had with me. I've met a lot of great people here and it has helped me regain my confidence, so to speak. I was just so depressed, that I didn't care about having friends. Since starting the pills and finishing counseling I feel like a new woman. I had never felt like talking to people and making new friends. This place as helped me out a lot and I'm starting to get to know some great people.
 
I know, I've had those days where I wondered just what the good in waking up was...and did my damndest to stay asleep, since my dream world was far more preferrable to the real one.

I identify quite a bit with this response. When I was regularly feeling down and depressed, I didn't want to do much of anything. For a long time, I didn't. After coming out of the years-long funk I was in, I realized that the act of doing nothing made things worse, not better. Now, when I feel myself having a bad day, I get active, no matter how badly I feel. Especially with exercise, I come out of the mini-depression rather quickly.

The key for me to kicking my depression was not succumbing to apathy and sloth. Much harder than it sounds, this process took years. I have sympathy for all of you, and this can be overcome. You just have to find the way that works for you.

Well it goes to show you. When we are dealing with our issues we get so wrapped up in our problems we fail to see the good things around us. I believe good come out of bad. The bad might be more but there has to be a silver lining. One single ray of sun shines bright in a pitch black room.

This is so true man. I still struggle with this one but a good friend once told me anything that was ever worth doing is never easy. I still have to push myself all the time be it to excercise which I got lazy with lately and now am back to doing or even over coming over being shy. I tend to be outgoing and very social if I know you but am very shy at frist. I never wat to send the wrong impreshion.
Sometimes the key to dealing with your personal issues is to face them head on. An example. I went to NESt this year. My first night I was very shy and wanted to run and hide, I refused to give into my natural reaction because I knew it would not help me at all. It was hard to ignore these feelings at first but after years of practice I was able to warm up and meet a buch of great people and had an awesome experience.

For those dealing with depreshion now, I hope you read these storys and seek the help you deserve. There is no stigma attached to dealing with mental health issues now and there seemed to be in the past. These issues are more main steam and there is help. It's a long process with it's ups and downs and there might always be an internal struggle but you learn how to make the coices that will be to your benifit.

To borrow another line, I forget who said it When you are sick and tired of being sick and tired you will then seek to change the situation.

Depression

Is a cop out. There's no such thing as depression.
 
Or a chemical imbalance.

Maybe.

Possibly.

Quite likely.
