what do you do? Not like, clinically needing medication depressed, but just feeling pretty hopeless nonetheless? I dont smoke weed, and I really dont have the energy to do a 2 a day at the gym today.

So whaddya do when you feel everything is pretty much fucked up in your life?
 
Well I've been suffering depression lately and what I do is read. I read a lot. It helps take my focus on me.
I also cook. Again, takes the focus on me.

Depression is terrible. You need to keep at it so it doesn't get worse

I work more, accomplishing something always overcomes any setbacks.
 
I am manic depressive. I have learned to control it. I work out religiously, set goals, try to be social, read, meditate etc.

Pot is not a good thing to do to fight depression. Booze is just as bad.
 
i think that it can be worse.. and i try to be thankful for what i DO have..

i also daydream alot.. whenever reality sucks.. i imagine it getting better, or prepare myself to make changes when the time is right..

i let myself have "crying-fests" when things just suck all around and i need an emotional release.. I also keep a journal.. i find that writing and analyzing my moods helps me gain perspective.. and its good to reference for those harder life-long struggles (relationships..etc).

i shop, take myself out, indulge, spoil me a lil to remind myself that i'm worth it!

i hope you feel better soon.. life's too short to get caught up in the sad stuff.. go outside.. appreciate the little things that others would kill for.. I think health and living in a peaceful country are 2 oft-neglected bounties... u can start with those! :heart:
 
i usually watch intervention or the corey's and realize my life ain't that bad and get happy again. or i'll go for a drive, work out.
 
Baskin Robins
 
kill a hooker
 
I try to figure out what is the context and perspective that is making me feel depressed. Once I figure it out, then I try to change it.

Or porn.
 
drive in the farm land at night so I can see the stars, sounds stupid but it usually reminds me that my problems arent really all that big compared what all else is out there,

or watching an old movie :)
 
I was just thinkin.........you know that sinking feeling in your chest or stomach when your sad and stuff?

I wonder if that's a parasympathetic response sending pulses down your vagus nerve.....

When I was younger I would drink heavily and screw some radom chick and if it was a bonus night I would throw a fight in there.

Worked for me.
 
Leave this place and see some real people. The Internet make it too easy to be depressing and negative. Just take a look at this place.

I work with really great people all day. I dont work in a cubicle or anything, seeing people is never a problem. I enjoy a lot of people on here, and one or two of them very much.

Hopeless? You don't have to be a religious man to be inspired by this quote... Romans 8:24...... Read it. It's all about hope.
 
I have dealt with depression on and off ever since I was a teenager. I never got medication or any of that crap, I'm not into popping a pill for every problem I face, like to work things out on my own. I kind of have to agree with ndto as silly as it seems its something that I do as well, go for a drive around the countryside on a cool night or morning to do some thinking, or go to the mountains/hills if you have them close enough by. I try and isolate the problem, and put it into perspective by thinking about all the good things that I have going for me as well as taking joy in the simple things around me. It has been scientifically proven that smells associated with fond memories release the same endorphins/dopamine as exercising and sex do. For me that means cruising around the countryside or going climbing. Make some time for yourself.

My depression comes and goes, and my take is, if you are not depressed once and a while, then you are absolutely fucking boring...

That said, it blows, the one thing that may help but is not easy, and does not operate through the mechanisms that you are taught of cause and effect, which I have to adapt to in June again, is to treat it like deep tissue massage... it is very painful, and the more you tighten up and clench up your muscles, the less pain you feel, however, you also miss out on the healing of the muscle by avoiding the pain.
My point is, instead of distracting yourself, take say 20-30 minutes out of your schedule and just reflect on how you feel, notice how repetitive the thoughts are, how their transmission is linked to certain sensations found, where are the sensations located? Are they located in your chest, to the right of your heart... the point of the excercise, which is very awkward, and not to be attempted with the expectation of a definite, instant result, is that you learn to feel who you and this develops a tiny bit of awareness... in a short period of time, the difficulties that are surrounding you will reveal what is truly wrong and what needs to be done. Moreover, when the depression passes, you will uncover what is really important to you. You already know this, but you will feel and know it. Nothing beats the knowledge of the heart. I suspect you already know what is really bothering you...
My main point is that depression is a huge part of life, especially today, I have been feeling off as well lately, however, the best way to deal with it is to confront it through surrendering to the pain, and through this awkward encounter with this pain, you are able to let go of it... what I am suggesting take alot of energy, will, and courage, things you already possess... and alot of emotions will come up, like sadness, guilt, self doubt, in my experiences alot of shit I can't even describe...
Moreover, this is not an easy exercise; very clumsy, very awkward, and generally compared to others, I suck at it and get easily distracted, however, the effort put in... does come back through results.... not immediately, but they will come if you are sincere... by going inward, through what we label as intuition, expand outward.
That said my friend, anyway you can alleviate the pain, I am for, and yeah smoking out is the last thing you wanna do, or drink, but my thoughts go out to ya bro.

Pain itself destroys pain. Suffering itself frees man from suffering, I have yet have the discerning feeling that confirms this statement, however, some part of me knows it is true...

ummmm...i LOVE crying!lol

Sometimes cying makes me feel better. I'm not afraid to admit that. It's messed up, I've been sitting here on the couch nearly in tears for like....4 hrs and my wife, who is on the other couch talking to frineds all night hasnt even noticed. I know it's gay for me to feel bad about that, but in other ways I'm glad she hasnt noticed, cuz then she'll have a cow and be like, why are you sad, what did I do, blah blah blah and I dont wanna deal with that. I think I'll take your advice and go cry in the bathroom.


To everybody, please dont reply to this with mean thoughts. Even if you think I'm being a pussy, thats cool, but I dont need to know you feel that way. I just needed to vent.

Thanks.

dude I love you for those UFC threads if nothing else!







I still get to call you a pussy though, I'm sure you will when I come on here crying next time! :)
 
Well, I do take meds for depression, and they help me, but not stuff like paxil or anything like it. I have major depression with psychotic behavior (hey it's not funny LOL) and my meds are very expensive since I don't have insurance. I also get panic attacks which, anyone that has them knows, you need to be medicated if you are having those. No country drive gonna cure that.

One outlet I chose early in life was music. I always wanted to play a part in creating good music. But I chose also not to look at it like music, and more of painting a picture of the moment I am in. Kinda strange I did that 20 years ago. I still play music, and I still have ups and downs.......

My advise is man, if it gets bad, see someone. Talk with someone, someone you trust and they trust you. It's very hard to concentrate when truly depressed. And subjects just change rapidly. Your mind focuses then it releases to another area and you are like, wtf? I know. I am not telling you the answer is meds. I am not telling you ways to forget depression. I won't do that, because man, I am there to bud. Just remember for now there is a tomorrow and create..... make tomorrow yours

Peace man, and hope ya feel better.

younger? wait we suppose to stop this when we get older no 1 told me ? :confused: still works like a charm for me lol
 
I look at pictures of people mutilated & maimed from conflicts, people suffering droughts & famine, unfortunate medical conditions, etc., there are numerous examples / blogs on an army forum I frequent of those that have lost limbs to mines, or have been badly burned, and how they carry on with their lives, involving themselves in pro-active projects and what not.

Feeling pretty fucking humbled, I look at myself in the mirror ; all my senses functioning normally, all my toes, fingers, limbs attached, disease free etc., & with full realisation say to myself "What the fuck have I got to be depressed about?!"

:supercool

Actually, that's good. It's been along time since I've cried. My sense is that sometimes I'm dead inside because I don't cry at funerals of good friends either.
