That was nothing but an ignorant response. You obviously haven't been affect by such thing.

Neither would I ever wish it upon anybody.

Everyone has their bad days, you either choose to get over yourself and your pathetic problems or you let it ruin your life.

Not an ignorant response, simply the truth, tiptoeing around the problem only causes further problems.

GIFD.

A typical response from someone who has never dealt with it before. It's much worse than you think, and people deal with things differently to how you do, you have to accept that. Telling them to just "man up" isn't going to make them say "oh yeah, I need to stop being a ****, and just move on" no no, not how it works sadly.

Having been on Zispin in the past for long periods of time, I know exactly what depression is like, ultimately it's a state of mind that you become trapped within. The hard honest truth is sometimes all that's needed.

This year has been exceptionally rough for me, in September my mom had a stoke and was flown to a hospital a state away so she could get the surgery she needed to save her life. About a month later while my mom was still in the hospital, my girlfriend of nearly two years cheated on me while I was with my mom at the hospital, left me, and then lied about it. During that time, all I did was count the hours until I could go back to sleep. I never wanted to die, I just wanted to turn everything off.

It's been four months since my mom had the stroke, and she's home now and slowly improving, It's been three months since my ex left me, and I'm still in the dark about it.

I have increasingly random outbursts of rage, episodes of me breaking down into tears are becoming more common. I refuse to go to any mental health specialist simply because I do not want to be put on meds.

Look, life is shit. Just focus on those things that make life a little less shitty. For me, my comics are my biggest escape. Find your escape and I promise you'll begin to notice yourself feeling better, and as soon as you notice that, you'll know you will make it through whatever has you down right now. I know I will, and I know you will too. Time is your best friend.

Keep your head up, You'll make it.

Hope everything turns around and get good for you man. :2thumbsup:

Try to always keep/think positive.. Spend time with close friends who always make you laugh and feel happy.

Then set yourself a goal, something you want to do. It might be for yourself or someone else..

Focus on it and don't give up, even do something you and a friend can do.

It may sound cheesy and everything but it does get better man!

Just remember there are plenty of people you can talk to about it, whether it be family, friends or even one of us on here

If you need anything, you can PM me man

Sadly, I suffer with depression, and anxiety, more moderate than any kind, the worst thing about it is that it attacks you at the worst times (more or less when I'm "happy"). Literally on my birthday (2 days ago) it hit me. All these black thoughts were attacking me over and over, my mind was literally racing with these negative thoughts and this usually happens a one or twice a day everyday.

I can't remember the last time I was genuinely happy, but that doesn't mean I'm always sad or angry, it's not like that tbh. I can have my happy moments sometimes.

It sounds like you're going through a rough patch, not depression but that's not for me to say. You said that resorting to drugs is just stupid and I agree, that also shows that your mentality is strong and you can overcome this with the right approach.

Talk to somebody, family, friends, anybody, it's always good to let it out. I'm always here if you need to talk or anybody else that's reading this. Stay strong y'all.

Also, to the person who said that he needs to man up, you've obviously never felt true depression, this isn't something you can just put aside. Ignorant.

This might not be the right solution for you but it was one for me.
Don't try to not think about her. If she comes up in your mind then think about her. If you try to avoid the thoughts, the thoughts will want to keep reoccurring every moment of the day. Take some time to think about her next time she crosses your mind and eventually the subject will start to get old. Let the distractions happen naturally to get your mind thinking about other stuff and not her.

Sorry if this is confusing to read.

I wouldnt recommend trying to do stuff to get your mind off her because whatever you do wont be fun and it will be very hard to focus on whatever it may be while shes still in your mind.

when I am in the shower I tend to put it on the setting before ice cold which is fairly cold and when my boy has adapted to the coldness of the water I put it on the ice setting and it takes your mind off everything. At first your heart will speed up but after a while they start to feel soothing and very relaxing. They help me when I feel depressed.

I hope you find a way to deal with depression, it is a terrible thing.

Go out and do what you want to do for once.
She wasn't all you ever wanted in life man.
Go to the casino go sky diving just go do something.
Find something you like to do!
