Beating depresion.

Thats amazing Stayloose

I've been struggling with really bad depression all year
Its terrible

I know no matter what I should keep in line and try to participate in live rather than give in and sleep all day to escape, but seeing my brother's position is is getting really helpless

I used to never have depression, seeing my brother struggling with it, I assumaed he was just lazy or liked the wrong activities or was spending too much time thinking

Now that I am experiencing much of the same symptoms as my brother to great detail, I am now fearing for my life

I feel like I will eventually become unselfsufficient and give up at life
My brother used to be happy and carefree, very normal
Long story short he basically went insane, barely passing highschool and smoked pot and experimented with heavy psychedelics and isolated himself in his room and coming up with detailed conspiracies that others were supposively carrying through with

He lost all his friends and thought my parents were trying to make him gay, not let him ever leave the house, that others were trying to kill him (he guarded our house and stayed up for many days straight with a knife in his hand just around the corner of our house looking for someone)
I thought it was just teenage depression and that he just needed some fresh air and to grow up a little
He is still paranoid thinking that someone is going to dig up this old harddrive he had containing the record of him going on a child porn site, and turn it into the fbi and get him arrested
I am afraid this depression I am feeling right now will persist just like my brother's

 

In response to the title of the thread...

Get a big stick.

 

My vote says, take 1.5 grams of shrooms. not so much where you'll be miserable and sink into a bad trip by your current mind state, but enough to allow you the euphoria, as well as see hat the problems are behind the scenes. I had a lot of problems a while back, took shrooms (for the first time) and I realised alot of the stuff I was so sad about, really didn't matter AT ALL. And it had nothing to do with my spirirtual future and so on.
You can say its taking drugs for your problems which is considered bad... But I really don't see it that way after having experiencing it first hand, its not really the drug that gives you such a positive outlook, its the fact that you see more clearly and can determine between the good and bad of the things you really are concerned about.

 

i recommend NOT taking psychadelics while depressed

 

i feel like you do sometimes.. i look at it this way: when things can't get any worse they'll only get better.
just think that any time something makes you upset or shit, there's always something positive to turn it around to.
try to get rid of all the negative things in your life and just think about the positives.

cheer up!

 

Talk to someone, your friends, family, it'll help. Don't get down on yourself. Do things that make you happy. Try and find a g/f, or maybe that's part of your problem. Thing'll get better in time.

 

er...... wasnt expecting to see this thread pop up again. im a little embarresed.


but things do change ....im buzzin now! dead happy!
You gotta make it haapen

 

just remember that feelings aren't real and if you let them control you you're nothing but another victim of chemical reactions in your mind.

 

^^^ Wise words, Dewy.
Buddha said "all that we are is the result of what we have thought." And that is so true. Everything we think makes reactions in our brains. If you have good thoughts and think positively, you will feel better. If you're a pessimist, it'll bring you down.
