This is a serious thread. Do not post stupid comments that are not helping anyone. Thank you. So, depression is a very serious thing. It can make you suicidal, which is the first thing I'm going to talk about. Suicide... it has passed my mind before, but I've quickly changed my mine. The person does not kill themselves. Sadness does. If you are planning to attempt suicide, dial this number: 0808 808 499. If you are feeling this sad, ask for help. A good suggestion is a friend, or an adult who you trust. I chose to speak to my family in this state, but it doesn't matter who you ask. How to feel better Poetry about all the good things in life can make you feel like you're not.. worthless. It can show you that life is not.. s**t. Another thing is looking through all the good things that have happened in your past, and it's worth waiting for more of those things to happen and keep going. Take for example, the half-full and half-empty glass situation. You think of the positive way, avoiding being negative. Try to improve your propinquity ( Propinquity: " Personal Closeness "score"). Propinquity is a very important aspect in life if you like someone. If you drift off when you're feeling like this, you'd return with no one to talk with. Even Skype messages and emails will improve your propinquity. Signs of depression A common sign of depression is significant gain and loss of weight. There is also lack of interest for daily activities, reckless behaviour, sleep changes, loss of energy and self-loathing. Thank you for reading this. I hope you have learnt some things about depression, and if you have it know what to do. Comment your thoughts or more advice. Thanks. -Lapis
MY OPINION KEEP YOUR HEADPHONES ON. Its hard to think positive when your feeling depressed, for me only negative thoughts are in my mind, no matter what I do. I become a selfish idiot when im feeling really down. It can make me attempt suicide, cut etc. It can be hard to talk to someone when your depressed because you can think your the only one in this state that was me. No one knew for 4 months before I started talking to @BashfulBaker, @Katy_ & @KatlynBlossum. It can take time. A lot of time. Talking to people is easier said than done. But remember take your time. Dont rush yourself. And. No matter how hard it is. Try and talk to people. It will only get worst if you dont get help. ~ well in my opinion ~
Probably a unpopular question to ask in these kinds of threads, but has anyone who claims they have a depression been diagnosed with one by a Doctor?
All i just say is. Stay strong minded. Life will go up and down. No one said life was easy. There is different things tho. You gotta hold on tight. Honestly tbh no hate but i find it stupid that depression is in bearly EVERY person from what ive seen. Oh she said this. Like so? I get tons of shit. But i understand if its other stuff. Such as family issues. Money issues. Thats understandable. And i went thru all that Tbh ive never been depressed only felt down. That gut feeling like damn man but like always i went back up. Trust me when i say this. I went thru a lot of sh*t growing up and im happy and lucky at where im at now
Suicide is the weakest thing to do. 'Releasing' yourself from your own suffering by letting many others suffer is just insanely weak. I have never understood how people can not enjoy life. I mean, isn't it the best thing that ever happened to us?
Some people "pretend" to be depressed, thinking it's "funny", when they're just being offensive. As well as kids, there are teens and a few adults in the server, so...
I'm not sure I understood that, but I think you meant that kids/teens find it hard to actually go to a doctor about it. In that case, the point is proven. People claim they have it when it's just a small sample size of a bad week or month or year.
well for people who are abused, neglected and dont live in first world countries like us then they dont get all the luxuries like we get.
Suicide is still weak. All the stuff u stated ive been thru besides thr not living in the f first world country
Kris, some people don't have the same life as you. Would you enjoy life if you felt depressed every day?
Yes, I've been. Luckily, I'm doing better now. Around that time I also had Anorexia, which made me threw up all my food/my head told me I was fat. I dropped back to 32 kg at the age of 13 (almost 14). Now, I'm doing way better. I weigh 45 kg now at the age of 14 (almost 15). I still have evil thoughts stuck in my head, just derping around and attacking me at the weirdest moments. But life has actually been getting better, and I have a lot of friends that help me, one of them is @_ItzAlice_ . Thanks Alicia <3
I've been diagnosed to something similar and it turned out to be included with anxiety and somewhat depression. Going through it can be emotional and give you many different affects that are really nasty and they don't feel good at all. I've had some of the symptoms and it doesn't feel good. The only way is to fight back the anxiety and depression. Try communicating like you said and keep that up with someone you can trust and talk too. Many people around the world are suffering from this and I'm pretty sure 1 out 2 people suffer from a mental illness at some point of their lives.
MY OPINION DONT ARGUE PLEASE I've kept this to myself for a long time, but every time someone tries to comfort me by saying stuff like "you'll get through it". My answer just turns out to be "when?" It takes time, and 2 or 3 words usually won't help. It's hard to be positive when you're depressed. Some people don't understand. Some people really do. @KatlynBlossum @BashfulBaker @Clearrr
It's nice to see someone else making threads like this. I made a thread about this a while back, and I felt kind of alone in having a positive attitude and reaching out to people. Like I said earlier, we all have a spark of positive and productivity in us. Sometimes we just need someone to fan the flame. The more threads like this created, the better. :) No matter what other members may say, agree, disagree, or bash you, keep being you, and keep creating what you want to create!
