Thanks for Fortix 3 Beta, I know you said "Take one" but I took all the keys ;)

Why are you depressed?

Indeed.

Do fun things, stay with people and try to think less possible.
You will forget to be depressed

I feel ya buddy

In other news: Hitler was bad!

I know this won't help you, but take a gander anyway

Hooray for depression!

There's something I wanna say but I won't...

Either way, this thread doesn't really belong in this site...

Suppression ducks.

Whatever you're going through, just stay positive. Even though it may seem like it, depression won't last forever, it gets better. Maybe you just need to change some things up, I was depressed everyday for 11 years straight, until I moved away. Therapy or meds didn't do shit for me. Maybe not as drastic as moving to the other side of the country, but you should at least try to find a unique hobby that brings you constant joy, like I draw or sing or design stuff whenever i'm down to get my spirits up

But here, have this bigass internet cookie. Its happiness flavored!

At least that's what it said on the box

clinical depression needs to be treated buy drugs (from a doctor btw to save confusion from the trolls) no matter what people here say, i know and i know for a fact. for me only the drugs help coz i dont believe in all that touchy feely talk to people like you shite but therapy might help you so dont discount it. seek help and good luck, i know what you are going through.

Are you trying to block SG on UK????

I know how you feel, I've had this issue for years.

Not sure if you're commenting on yourself, but having been deeply depressed and known plenty of people who have been, this seems to me a little lightly put. Often people confuse depression with stressful periods of life. Often there are times when there is nothing to laugh about, that doesn't instantly mean you're depressed. I can say this - even thinking about the the closed cycle of self-destroying thoughts that bind you in place - makes shivers run down my spine.

I thought that would have been obvious enough..

"Your teens and early 20s are one of the most dangerous periods of your life. Those same hormones I mentioned earlier don't just amplify the "feel good" emotions -- they also work for the Dark Side. This means it's also harder to tell the difference between what the grownups dismiss as being a "moody teenager" and a life-threatening problem.

For many, many years, I found myself getting irritable, sad, tired, angry, and even suicidal for no discernible reason, without provocation or warning. I'd lay in bed for hours, fantasizing about ways to just end it all because nobody understood, and there was nothing anyone could do to help me. If I was gone, the world would be a better place.

I had heard of depression, and I knew the definition, but I didn't really know what it was. It wasn't until years later when I started taking psychology classes that I began to get a deeper insight as to what was making me involuntarily goth out for most of my life. And as it turned out, it's pretty hard to fight a monster if you don't know that one is there in the first place. Recognizing depression when it hits is half the battle.

Luckily, the Internet now exists, so access to that information doesn't require any other action than clicking this link.

Unfortunately, even if I had the internet back then, and the link was handed to me, and someone was there to click it, and another person held my eyes open, and another read the page to me through a megaphone, I still wouldn't have absorbed the information. Depression has a way of doing that to a person, it tricks you into defending it against all attacks. You will feed and protect your misery like it's your first born baby.

But the odds are that nobody would have given me the link anyway. Society was -- and still is -- in the dark ages when it comes to any kind of mental or emotional problems. Practical advice on dealing with your own emotional swings is not a subject you'll find being taught at schools or home or... pretty much anywhere. To this day, if you need physical therapy on a knee you sprained playing football, you're a badass. But if you need mental therapy, even simple counseling, you're crazy. Damaged. All talk of it is awkward, the subject of jokes to be made when they're well out of earshot. So the stigma keeps us at home, quietly accepting that there's something wrong with us. Something shameful.

The reality is that seeing somebody about depression (or anxiety, or anything else) is no harder than going to see a doctor about that rash on your ass. Yeah, it's awkward and intrusive but you get over it, you don't just fucking let it spread until you're bedridden. You call, you make an appointment, you see what needs done. Shake off that shame you feel about needing help before it fucking murders you.

But understand this (and if you're in the age group I'm talking about, I hope to God that I'm wrong about you not getting this for years): You have more people who care about you than you think. Back when I was fighting that demon (I like to picture myself using a giant anime sword that's on fire), I swore on my soul that not a single person in the world gave a shit whether I lived or died. As I got older and that smothering black veil lifted, I realized how incredibly wrong I was. There were dozens of people who would have been negatively affected by my early check-out.

You'll find the same. Even if it turns out that number is two, that should mean something to you because it translates to this: Those two people live in a better world simply because you draw breath."

1 fucking rule, you will have ups and downs, fight the lows enjoy the ups!

Don't worry, we love you.

Op is actually trying to say that attention-whoring sucks.

Yes. Yes it does.
You know what sucks even more than depression?
Unmedicated, unaddressed, denied, long-term depression.
Even more than that?
The behavioural and cognitive side-effects resulting from it, long after the depression has been resolved.
And one more step of suckage above that?
Relapse, if the side-effects weren't de-conditioned or addressed fully enough in time.

What a world.

Hang in there dude. It's all in the flux. Every rise begets a fall, but every fall begets a rise, right?
