why is it that the only rational thought depressed people can think of is, Suicide?? I just dont see how one can really believe that killing themselves either for pity or release is gonna help them. fuck you and your depression, you think your alone really but your not you got people all around, unless you explain in detail WHY you hate your parents so much i doubt youll get good advice.
suicide just gets you dead spin... living good is the best revenge... if your gone tonight, but a week from now you meet the most wonderful girl you've ever met, and she digs you... your soul mate but you flushed yourself before she could meet ya, or better yet, and I'm not being sarcastic... but what if your probs with your parents could be solved by just talking it out, no melodrama, no pissing match, or who can hurt or gets hurt the worst, but just hey do you really matter to each other or not? Square that deal, and if your being abused... get help. It helps everyone in the long run. yOu might be able to help others to not feel so alone some day. But you won't if you quit.... Life is not always good, but its too good to give up. And sometimes it ROCKS!
Heres a lesson to you from me: "I" as a person is an Asshole, that is me Fact: There are Millions of assholes Fact: Assholes Cause problems Fact: There are probably more assholes than there is Grains of sand Moral: "Take everything as a grain of sand" Laymen Terms: Dont get pissed at the little shit or youll always be depressed
WOW Joe I never knew that being an asshole could feel so great! I just went and ranted off at the ADD med snorters. Boy did that feel great! Thanks alot for the advice!
Dude, I get so shitty with all the myths about depression and why people commit suicide... the people who perpetuate these myths obviously have no idea what it's really like. They say things like "people act depressed just to get attention"... ummmm, people act depressed because they ARE and they NEED attention! Spinner, I think what you're going through is tough, but you'll get through it. You just don't realise your strength right now. Good advice has been given already about talking to people, looking into medication etc. I'm not religious, and I don't think people who kill themselves go to hell/purgatory/limbo/whatever, but I still think you've been given a chance at life so you might as well make the best of it. The human spirit has so much strength, people have risen from the ashes of a lot of really bad shit, and you can too. Don't listen to people who give you shit, they don't know you and don't understand. Stay strong, and I know you'll find happiness eventually.
Hey spinner, you are only 15 and there is a whole life ahead of you.If you feel like shit now, thats ok, everyone goes through it for one reason or another.Yes, your life sucks right now, but think about tomorow and while doing that think positive no metter what.Find something you can focus on, like art, reading or music, or focus on school right now.Best way to regain you self-asteem is to set goals for your self and start working on them and start with small ones so when the work is donne, you will feel better about your self.Depression is actually good for you becouse it is showing you that somehting is wrong and its not going to go away unless you deal with what's wrong.Remember to think positive at all times.Try to find good in everything.Its not all bad. And about suicide, welll you don't know what happens when you die.We are all here for a reason and that reason is to deal with life and not death.When you die, you don't really die, you just go to the next level and which level it will be, is complitely up to you.If you comit suicide, you will just end up dealing with the same problems time and time again till' you solve them, so why not live and deal with those problems now so that later you don't have to.Suicide is not going to solve anything so don't bother. Just think positive becouse you never know what tomorow brings.Who knows, maybe in a mounth you will have it all figured out and see that its all not as bad as it seems. Life is difficult. Once you realize that it is difficult, it not difficult any more.You have a long road ahead of you, stay on it.Thats what it's all about. You will find some great pointers in the book called "the road less traveled" by Scott M. Peck, check it out.
and spinner, if you are just being sarcastic You have got much bigger broblems then the ones you have described.
Look, this kid is obviously trolling. I don't know why, but he is. Jesus Christ, did you pull this shit off depression.com or something? This is the most generic "pay attention to me because I'm an attention whore LOOK AT ME GODDAMIT I'M DEPRESSED!!!1111!!" I've ever seen. You sound like one of those goth kids from high school who always tried to pick up girls by talking about how much their life sucked and how they were going to kill themselves. Pathetic. Not that you have any real problems, teenagers never do unless your parents died or you have a kid (which dosen't seem the case here). Grow up, come back and bitch when you have rent owed, tuition to pay, and and a scholarship to keep (and you don't see me complaining do you?).
I guess having a cousin die trying to save people in 9/11 is doesn't count for someone being depressed. And on top of that my cousin and my mother could have died also. And I guess I'm just lying to get some fuckin attention. Fuck you, you fuckin asshole.
That's crap MaxPower. Fucking hell, why do people treat suicidal people like shit? They need support and understanding! I bet if you lost someone you love to suicide you wouldn't have the same attitude. Nobody should have to go through that. Fuck your attitude. Spinner, the one thing I do agree with is that an internet forum isn't the best place to try and get help. You need to talk to a real person.
Spinner...tune them out, the best revenge is overcoming them. Leave them in the dust and become your dreams. Since your a teenage, of course your lazy and depressed. I've been through it, I'm 19, half my immediate family is dead and I have kids...yes not 1 but 2. (And no I'm not looking for any comments on anything you have to say about this negatively!) Do the best you can for you and be happy with that. One thing in particular I found that helped depression AND laziness is excersize. Yes, that sounds stupid but, excersize can empower you and releases endorphines in your brain to boost your mood. When your mood, energy and overall lifestyle are improved no one can get in and ruin it for you. Don't allow them to be destroying your life, whatever chip they have on thier shoulders is not your fault no matter what they say.
Too much pot long term will fuck up the serotonin in your brain and just make you more depressed. Although it's true that a bit of it occasionally is a good relaxant.
Spinner, you need to call your local suicide hotline if you are really feeling that way. Seriously. One thing about suicidal feelings is that they always pass, if you let them!!! When you get over your immediate crisis, start focusing on doing good things for other people. Depression happens when you are too focused on yourself. Get involved in some activism to make the world better for all. If you are being abused by your parents you need to tell someone. There are hotlines for that--Child Protective Services, for one. That said, I have know many teens who have come from horrible horrible circumstances and have seen it through. Focus outside yourself and do what you gotta to survive.
People who say they're going to kill themselves don't really. You said you were going to kill yourself seven posts ago. If you're going to kill yourself, do it, if not, get some help and call a suicide prevention hotline. Here's one: 1-800-SUICIDE. It's real. Stop fishing for attention. Oh, and stop making things up. Um... my cousin died trying to save people on 9/11 and um...uh.. my mother and cousin as well nearly died... and...um.. I'm a crack baby... and... um... my grandfather was alive in the holocaust. Dude, we all have problems okay? I have my fucking problems and I got help, so you do it, too. People like you are called drama queens, people who sap other's good spirits and strength just to draw attentions to themselves and make it about them all the time, though they never do anything to improve their life. You're being childish, so get help.
WHY is everyone so hard on people who want to kill themselves? Seriously, can someone please explain it to me?
No one is hard on anyone. The fact is people who want to kill themselves are disturbed, I've tried it, people I know have tried and it's not an easy thing to accomplish, nor is it easy to face once it's been deemed unsuccessful. It's a selfish act, I'll admit, but nonetheless it's sometimes an only option. People like Spinner are turning a serious affliction, a serious mental problem and is just using it as a plea for attention. He posts all that stuff about not being given attention and being treated badly, then in the next post he puts "I guess no one cares", then he puts "You people suck". If he was really intent on killing himself then he wouldn't care who posted what. Then he puts "I'm going to kill myself, goodbye". Then about seven posts later he puts "It's about me and them.. How would you feel if your son was a talentless lazy bum like me. Even though they treat me like trash sometimes, I think I deserve it." Obviously a person who is doing nothing but being self-pitiful and seeking attention from people. He's not going to kill himself, he's a drama queen clear and simple. Then he keeps making stuff up to garner attention including that his friend died saving people on 9/11 though he never states what exactly his friend did to save people. Very vague explanation. Then he says to a bigger extent his mom and cousin nearly died in 9/11 when in fact he was complaining about her treating him badly. What's that about? If he wants to be important do something to better yourself, get attention in a positive way, take up acting, writing, sports, music, don't whine about it and get mad when strangers on a message board don't care. What do you expect? It's all for attention clear and simple. I have pity on people who are mentally disturbed, but I don't have pity for those who play mentally disturbed for attention.
