Depression

[Kiyuge]

When I get depressed... I write or draw what I'm feeling. Or I call a friend in an attempt to feel better. I dont get depressed often. Only when my big brother starts throwing his hissy fits and takes it out on me. -hides behind bed-

I used to be depressed because I cared too much about what others thought of me. I was always trying to please everyone, bending over backwards only to be hurt when people didn't reciprocate. Now I do as I please (within reasonable bounds - I haven't totally thrown away my manners), serving my own best interests first and not care if people think I'm uncool or rude. I no longer put my happiness at the mercy of others and I'm finding I'm a lot happier these days. When I encounter obnoxious people, my focus is well away from them so I remain content. I think it's a major turning point in my life.

Exactly. That's why its best to tackle whatever is making you depressed, head on.

... it does make a HUGE difference. You only live once so you might as well want to make your time an enjoyable experience.

Thanks so much, Ivion, for your concern

When I get depressed I cry and think about how much I wanna kill myself.
But I dont do it cause I know I'll feel better one day.

Well, what if it's not possible to tackle it head on?
My problem lies like 5 states away, and I will most likely never see it again because it makes me afraid.

Ok, honestly i didn't read all the thread because its very long and I want to reply quickly.

Depression is a sickness, you have to keep that in mind. Sometimes you cant even see it. Like you dont even know you have depression and suddently it pops.

To cure depression first takes a lot of time. But the first step is KNOWING that you are depressed. I know know it then you can change it. You have to know that you have the power to change it. Also, dont take pills. Pills are really bad, bad pills. Depression is a mental problem. Maybe there are physical stuff related to it but most of it is in your head.

Depression is cured by YOURSELF. Nobody else can cure it. So when you feel sad, say that to yourself: "This is me, this is how I am". Look at yourself and assume it. Tell yourself that you are depressed and maybe you will feel better.

Sucuide is an option obviously. But sucuide is selfish. Think about all other people that would be sad if you would die. And if there is nobody, then think about me "Random guy on the internet" because I dont want you to die. There are already so many people dying for nothing. And moreover, while alive you can change things, while dead you are nothing.

Have a goal, a goal that you would like to reach. Do everything you can to reach it.
Have a goal that is far superior of you. And when trying to reach it, you will become stronger.

Yeah, shit happens, and yeah it hurts your feeling. But what can you do? Life is like this. Forget about people that hurt you, tell yourself that its stupidity that pushes them to say bad things.

Depression is a sickness of intelligent people. That maybe sounds far from modest but, its true. Its okay to feel sad, but dont stay in front of it. Move, Change but dont Forget because its impossible to forget things that hurt too much. Be stronger than the depression.

Thats how I did. I made myself a goal. Always remember that you have the power to change yourself. Some people are saying : "Oh its normal, he/she was in that type family, had this and that event in his/her life, alcoholic father blah blah blah." Its YOUR head you can do whatever you want with your goddamn head.

Alright guys, gambatte do your best
