Okay, seems odd to ask but, I've been depressed for months now, had one or two break downs and have been pretty emo-ish on the forums.

I'm pretty sure I'm suffering from depression or something, wondering if anyone could give any advice on the issue.

I'm not suicidal or anything, just I feel a lack of hope in life, a lack happiness as such and that type of stuff. Thing is, I'm just worried about telling my parents, or friends, or pretty much anyone, which is why I seem to be confiding in onrpg now, may not seem like the best place however, I'm pretty sensitive about the issue, as I am about the suspected cause.

Anyway, any advice would be appreciated.

try playing games and talk to your mirror about it and wont feel sad/angry...

anyway nice sig lolz...

talk to your mirror

He is emo-ish, not mad lol

Im not good with this sort of stuff sorry, maybe a female member will come along and help out. What happened that made you feel like this ? (i understand if its personal)

If you have a close friend that you can trust with your life, confide into him on whats going on. Expect some lamebrain answer though seeing as hes your friend and your giving him some good "pick-on-you" material. If that fails, schedule yourself for a physical or something, and when you go to get it, start chit chatting with the doctor as hes making you cough about the problems. He could probably give you some suggestions, advice, phone numbers, etc. without having to let the parents know about it. Actually, thats exactly how I went about the business when I was a little younger. Worked pretty good, got a free consultation with a doctor when he was giving me a physical. Whatever your problem man, I hope you can work your way through it. The best way out is always through.

That's funny, I've been "emo-ish" and depressed in the last month too, feeling like even if I have friends they don't really like me, or the only people that I think care for me are only people I meet on the internet. And I do feel a bit hopeless. The only thing that's keeping me going is my hope to succeed in college and maby have a stable love life.

I don't really want to get into it personally, but if you want to talk to me or something, PM me, maby we can work things out together.

I used to have a grudge against you for the people you hung with Cingal, but now I see we have alot in common, even if I act like a total retard.

Go out, smell the roses.
Theres so many things in life that could make you happy.
You should be happy you're even alive.
That you even have a family, that you even have a computer and internet.
Be happy you have food on your table everyday.


There are reasons to be sad, but to everyone of them there are 100 reasons to be happy!

When ever I start to cry and feel down I always try to remember that life ends so one day we shall be released from this eternal feeling curse. I honestly use to be scared I'd live forever.

Ok heres the plan , you take the first squad and head out far left , followed by fox - 02 , then grim - 77 take the mid , and finally I'll take the far right.


I HOPE THIS CLEARED THINGS UP.

I HOPE THIS CLEARED THINGS UP.What about me and my squad "Angels"?

Start eating vegetables, fruits and get balanced meals. I'm taking health right now and they say that a healthy diet leads to good mental health. If you think about it, it does. I mean, after you eat that bowl of icecream you might feel like woooo, but an hour later do you even want to get up? Nah.. I don't. I always work out after icecream because I can sustain energy by burning it. That doesn't make much sense but it's true. I go running a mile in the morning and it makes me feel so throughout the day. Now when I sleep that extra hour, It's so hard to get up to get ready but If I'm getting up to do something physical then I have the urge to go, because I have a goal to reach. I'm sorry that I stopped talking about your problem and went into my own experiences but maybe before you read this you'll put 2 and 2 together, which will exercise your brain. Now that your reading this it should give you some confidence, but who am I to say this try it yourself and if you can only run a quarter of a mile who cares? Aim for more tomorrow.

just find someone to talk to...thats what i do.my family has issues with me so i cant find help from them but i have some great friends who i can sit down and just talk to about stuff and know they wont judge or make fun of me.

Think about the things that make you sad, and talk about them with someone. Most of the time, people can make that sad thought into a happy thought.

This is just a phase, and I'm sure you can get through it. Just be with some friends, and talk about things that you enjoy. Look at the bright side of life, not the dark side.

You should see a doctor... you may be clinically depressed and need some sort of medication. Either that or cahnge youe life around

Try not to sit around and think about it grab a book or something

Actually, I wouldn't advise taking anti-depression drugs XO
I had a friend that was depressed (he has diabetes), they put him on that, and I remember he told me he had thoughts of committing suicide.

What you need, is a ho.
When you have a girlfriend, and you know you have someone to hug and love, that can pull you through a lot.

See a therapist. Really, it could help in the end.

He is emo-ish, not mad lol

I love how sexist this forum is. I mean, jeez. of course, all girls are lovey dovey and can help all emotional problems. anyways, one day, i didn't feel like living. it seemed pointless. i got so down i thought I would die. i could barely breath, and I felt so depressed, and nothing could drag me out. i fell behind in school, started having break-downs. And then I woke up, and I faced my problem. I told myself, "you're gonna die. you're definetly going to die, there's no way around it, you'll get old and sick, and probably die of a heart attack, painfully. And if you keep going like this, you'll die faster. YOU'RE KILLING YOURSELF!!!!"
I cired, and felt bad, terrible, and suddenly, the wieght was all but gone. I felt almost completely okay. i still have issues (I can't listen to the sound of my heart beating or I freak out, so i can only sleep on my side, so i can't feel it moving at night) but I can function now. i always feel a little emo, but not too bad, anymore.

It's not really sexist- even if you're a girl, having a boyfriend will help you a lot. It's a vice-versa thing- if you meet the right person, they will cheer you up, care for you, and be there for you.

hmm just read a book or write a wishlist for christmas lol.:D

Also, going out helps.
You know, if you don't go out often.
I used to be a spelunker in that sense, but I sort of grew out of it.
Just get a bunch of friends, and go see a movie, or hang out at the mall.
At this age, I've found it rings true that, usually you feel this way, but you've got other friends that feel the exact same way... what I'm trying to say is, you think no one cares about, but you still care about them. And you might have friends that think no one cares about them so much, but they still care about you... d'you see what I did there? It's kind of like a vicious cycle, where everyone is emo, and you don't realise that other people still care about you.

When I am depressed, I pray.

And guess what?

I'm not depressed any more. Prayer works.

I'm pretty sure I'm suffering from depression or something, wondering if anyone could give any advice on the issue.

To first begin discovering why you feel this way one must first point what exactly leads you to have these feelings. In order to help yourself out you need to accept the aspects of your life that leads to negative feelings of hopelessness and unhappiness in order to improve your mental health.

Thats one thing I found helped me during my depression as I narrowed down the main factors that would lead me to those feelings and slowly accepted them I could begin changing them and improving on the specific problems slowly. It can be alittle hard accepting some facts about your life but with time you will succeed.

Hope this made some sense. :3

PS: in my opinion prayer only works if you put in the effort to change your life as well since to some people god gives them a feeling of courage and hope that helps them believe change is possible (a good thing) but solely relying on prayer to help fix your life is not as, nothing will get resolved and you will putting your faith solely on god to fix your problem leading to future depressions and could possible even hate the god you prayed for. (Bad)

Im sorry if you found me sexist but i just think that females are better with emoional stuff. How many males do you see hugging each other and crying over their problems ? Females aren't afraid to express their emotions and thats why i think they will be better helping him with his solution. Look at all the males answers "go play games, talk to a mirror" see my point ? lol

Why would he need a ho ? O_o

Thanks, for the advice, I'll think about it, however the main cause of this is very personal, which is why I wouldn't like have to talk about it to a doctor or something.

Presume I'll just have to think about what to do next.

yeah, there is no definite answer, unless you actually have depression, just a word of advice. it may seem dramatic and violent, but I dunno how old you are, and if you're old enough to, don't drink anything alcoholic. it sends you into a downwards spiral, and makes non suicidal people turn suicidal, so just don't do that or drugs, or anything that could impair your judgement, because you can go from bad to suicidal very fast that way... I know it sounds dramatic, but heed my advice...

Alcohol makes me feel good, I dunno what you're talking about. >_>
*hugs the bottle and whispers in its' ear*
Brother, she seeks to undo you.

My friends went that way...

Personally, I quit stuff like that years ago, It's no long of any interest to me, I find it quite repulsive now...

Kill someone violently and horrifically.

Then sell their organs to the black market.

If it makes me feel good, it'll make you feel good.

TOODLES!

I don't think anyone can help you if you don't tell us what that "personal" problem is.

What I suggest is (I have done this for the last week and seems to be working): Rent The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction for PS2 and start destroying.....It's like a remedy for both boredom and depression.

Yes, it's fun, for a whole five minutes.

The only thing I can honestly see that being a remedy for is realizing how much that game suck so damn much you realize, "Hey, I could be playing something that DOESN'T suck."

LOL make sure u sell it for 20000....

umm the only advice i can give u is find a girlfriend and kiss and hug her and then play BTF2 and then drink lots of beer get knocked out and sleep next day go to your Girlfriends house and hug her that should help im serious too

Well, in situations like that I berate myself and look at the mirror and tell myself to stop being a lil ***** and after that I get angry not sad, from there I try to go back to "normal" anger seems to be easier to ...what's the word...get rid of.

hey, if u think that this world is boring, that's right! nothing can ever satisfy me, either games, nor friends, nor power, nor things to come, nor things to go can ever make us feel that this is enough for our entire life.

but i do think that trying to focus on something else is a good idea. it;s lik believing a God or something. i think the following words can help you:

Lord Jesus said:" come to me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and i will give you rest. take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for i am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. for my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

therefore, we do not lose hearts, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. for momentary, light afflicition is producing for usand eternal weight or glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the tings which are seen are temporal, but the things wich are not seen are eternal.

let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.


you see? if yo can't find something that is eternal an belongs to you forever, you won't find sastification throuh it. even you own it now, but may lose it later. in other words, if you don't have something eternal, but only things that are temporal, you are not owning anything, then you won't have sastifications, nor happiness nor joy.

umm the only advice i can give u is find a girlfriend and kiss and hug her and then play BTF2 and then drink lots of beer get knocked out and sleep next day go to your Girlfriends house and hug her that should help im serious too

yeah, fall in love under false pretences so you have a squeeze toy at your side, play violent games, and get loaded. sounds just right. note sarcasm.

It might just work....

Anyway, things have sort of got worse, or atleast more differcult in the last few days.
I've been talking to Ridley and various friends in the past few days, seem to help, although it uncovers some thing which I'm effected greatly by.

How old are you Cingal? If your a teenager it could be angst ? The fact that responceibility is being drilled into your head more often creates anxitey which could lead to Apathy which could lead to depression.

Yet angst is overcome with acceptence of the responcibilties that are being placed upon you, you may not of even noticed there being a change in the responcibilies being asked of you yet your brain/mind on a level is sure of them.

The best is just to know that you've gotta take things as they come, In the words of Van Halen "You've got to roll with the punches to get to whats real" just like every body has in there lives.

You can forget about it with drink and drugs but it wont make you accept it , by going down that line your trying to tell your self that you dont have any more responcibility because your doing drugs which are defintly not mature. I did it i went down that line , done about every drug you can name apart from herion and crack ( although technicly i've had crack too) and im all good i got good grades but i did nowhere near as good as i could of and i still cant help dabbling in the drugs especially the reefer.

Also your intrests play a part on how you feel, watch a sad story you feel sorry watch a comedy and you and your mates will be talking about how funny it was and laughing for a few days to come. Its the same with music you listen to, emo , im so emotional no one can help me stuff , it concretes this thought whats the point of living wheras you listen to something bouncy and something that makes you ACTIVE and want to JUMP and DANCE and it lifts your mood.

Keep your friends close to you TALK to them thats important let them know how your feeling , talk to your parents about how you feel aswell the fact is your friends and parents would of properly already know that somethings up with you by the way you act. They will definalty help support you and help to make you sure of the incredible potential you are capeable of in life.
And i mean REAL friends dont talk to people on the internet you need the comfort and intimacy that is shared between the attachment you have with your friends and parents only they really know the "real" you not some1 yo've never met in your life.

Peace dude, keep it real.

Thanks Ap0c, I might explain the cause, however it's deeply personal, although it might help, it's pretty much everything about me.

Also about the whole friends thing, I doubt my friends would understand how to react to this. Which is why I confide in the Internet...

Do you feel as if you're in third person instead of first person? You may have something known as "depersonalization" or "derealization" I personally suffer from this myself. Here's some more info on the subject.
ufferers of depersonalization feel divorced from both the world and from their own identity and physicality. Often times the person who has experienced depersonalization claims that life "feels like a movie, things seem unreal, or hazy." [citation needed] Also a recognition of self breaks down (hence the name). The person experiencing the disorder may feel like life is a dream or an illusion of sorts.

The feeling is said to be like being a ghost. No matter how hard the person tries, he/she cannot feel like they are genuinely interacting with the world. They can't seem to perceive themselves as being normal. While the person is struggling to feel everything as normal, there is a part of themself which begs to just give up and stop the struggling. A sufferer from depersonalization can be especially susceptible to suicide, undertaking the suicidal process calmly and easily without real awareness. Simply put, depersonalization is an alteration in the perception or experience of oneself, so that the self is felt to be unreal; the person feels detached from reality and/or their own body or mental processes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depersonalization

Just wanted to note that you'll probably gona face bigger problems when your older. Theres no need to get depressed, "**** it" its really bullshit. I'm not saying I don't get depressed at times but its really not worth going into. A lot of times you brain plays tricks on you, the thing is you have to ignore it. I feel sometimes the way i feel is not how i want to be but it is happening. So you have to take control in to your ownself.


If you can't do anything about the problem then "**** it" and just watch it from far away and doesn't concern you. You might feel bad bad it really has nothing to do with you. Ex: family issues


Also if your depressed by something that you have control over, just do the job and get passed it. Ex: exams, friends

Good thing I'm here for him or most of this BS might end up making him feel worse. <<;;
