Thread: How do you deal with Depression?

Suicide goes through most teenagers. Don't worry about it, once you find something you like doing, it will slip away and you will forget about it. Never back down, that's what you have to remember. I have gone through your position, I feel really stupid right now because what i did in the past was a stupid thing to do. You just have to think of what others would feel like if you were to suicide. Don't always think about yourself but about the loved ones around you. maybe even playing runescape can make you feel happy, or watching movies, just do what you like, you will be fine

Not giving advice but i can tell you what i do.
I get that depression and frustration feeling really often.
I usually take hotel room and just live 2 days in hotel. Its not cause of variety or anything, but it gives you feeling like you are free from all duties. Just 2 days freedom, sleep all day, watch tv, let roomservice do everything. It helms mate, belive me.
Other thing i do is yearly camping.
I take long trips like 2-5k KM at time. Just take my tent, my camping gear and hitchhike to another country. Lastyear i visited 29 countrys like this, year before 6 countrys. Just take few months for yourself, dont take anyone with you. Just pack your bags, take some money to eat sammitches next few months and get going.
You will return different man.

Depression is a difficult thing to go through man, I have been dealing with it for a few years now and I can relate to you. I will start by saying that considering suicide for any reason is the stupidest thing you could do. Once you are gone man, you're gone. That's it. By giving in you are letting it get the best of you. The best advice I can give is to just reach out and let people help you. The longer you let it go untreated the worse it will get. You may not believe in taking medication for it, but it could be your best bet. You will never know unless you try. Just try to reach out, force yourself to get out of the house and do things such as exercising(it's really good when you're dealing with depression) and I'm sure things will eventually get better.

Just remember that there are always people that care about you.

I don't know if I'm depressed but I've definitely not been feeling happy for the last year or so, I smile sometimes but I'm still not happy. I understand what you feel like and its hard to overcome. I'm not saying you should, but I like to smoke cannabis and that gets my thinking range further and give me a different point of life, but that's just me. Drugs are NOT the key to feeling happy. Add me on skype and we can talk...
