Beating depresion.

Im feeling at the end of my tether with everything at the minute and no matter what i do i cant shake off feeling misserable. Its doing my fucking head in! i really dont know what to do anymore.
sink or swim?

 

It might be easier if you start from the begining, how did you get to the point you are at now, what is at the heart of this?
When was the last time you felt really happy?

 

SSRI's ftw.

 

Damn, my browser went all screwy and deleted what I put.
long story short, what is happening in your life? What is/ are the cause/ causes of these feelings?

ps. Just keep swimming... just keep swimming....

 

Hang in there friend! Life has its uppers and downers (no pun intended, bah). Ive got Bi-Polar so I feel you. From time to time I am depressed for no reason and it really sucks. I just got with a depression episode that lasted around a month. Now I feel a lot better!!! Keep on truckin!

 

kill the ego kill the depression kill the self

 

It's all about riding the wave... in my experience, depression comes from bad thoughts, so you've gotta get out of your head as much as you can (without relying on substances to do it). Hobbies, friends, jobs... these kinds of things help. Let us know what's going on in your life and we can probably help more.

 

just remember... its down the road... not across the street

 

dont be depressed...
i mean fuck it, none of us make it out alive anyway.
have fun dont give a shit

 

"just remember... its down the road... not across the street"

hahahahahahaah thats awful.



Take 40mg of adderall.

 

why is that awful i dont get it

 

why are you guys telling him to commit sucide... dude he might be so depressed that he does it...

when nothing seems to go my way or i feel depressed or whatever, i just force myself to laugh about the situations.. just laugh and say to yourself "it doesnt get much worse than this" then just find a good friend to talk to n go out n enjoy the better parts of life man. try to avoid whatever is making you depressed.

 

You have got the name right working: class: hero..
These are words to live by.

As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules

A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear

A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see

A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill

A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me


My best friends dads lives by the words in this song.. whenever someone graduates college he gets a plaque made with these lyrics on it and gives it to them
(not every1 but like my buddys friends).. they are so true.. words to live by my friends..

 

To all those who posted kind words - thanks.
felt a bit weird posting somthin like this up here, but the truth is i found it easier than friends or familly.
Its a mix of everything in my life that is fucking with me at the minute, money, relationship, job,waiting for hospital results, my concrete surroundings. Im goin to be hohnest yesterday was the lowest ive felt ever and very nearly did end it. But somthin came over me, a weird feelin just sort of let me know that there will be more than this.
A working class hero ''IS'' somthin to be.
Thanks again

 

it's kind of sad that you would let the prospect of a terminal disease inspire you to kill yourself. I realize there's other things involved, but I suspect that is a big one. take some consolation in that the odds are in your favor, the test will most likely come back negative. and even if they don't - shit, make the most of what you get! money ain't nothin, relationships come and go, a job is something to make money, find something to do that you love and you'll never work again, and as for your surroundings... man, what happened to your plans of traveling? going overseas for a year or two? maybe indefinitely?

throw caution to the wind already. go do something you think will make you happy, and control your life.

 

^^ i know man cheers. its just when everything happens at once its a little hard to deal with.. know what i mean

Im trying to get my head back into the fuck it frame of mind and sort everything out. I know its only me who can change things and intend to do so, hopefully very soon

 

You should really put your faith in jesus thats what helped me greatly and hell if it keeps up smoke more weed

 

I found jesus, he was hiding behind the couch. bad jesus, very naughty.

find faith, find life, find love, find hope. Let us know how your tests come back. most of us will be here for you. Blessings

 

SWIM was prescribed antidepressants (lexipro) after a suicide attempt and I am told that they really got their emotions and stuff under control now. This person definitely wishes that they had just got the fucking pills when they first started feeling depressed, they really work.

 

It's all about faith brother... You've just got to have faith in life, faith in yourself. It's the hardest thing in the world, but if you can just relax and take in each moment one at a time, without getting too deep inside your head or worrying about the future, you will feel great. It's really the only way to deal with this crazy world. Just take some deep breaths and put one foot in front of the other, trusting yourself and your environment (I don't know if you believe in God, but trusting in God/prayer really helps, too), and you will be amazed at how much better you feel with some practice. Like I said, it's definitely not easy... I've been trying to relax my anxieties and depression for about a year now, and it's finally coming around (quitting drugs and alcohol helped a lot, which I only did recently). You'll feel better man, just trust that you will see sunnier days. At the end of the day, you will be so thankful for the hard times, because they teach us so much and put everything in perspective.

Good luck and PM me anytime.
