Depression

just talking about it helps. having a friend or a group of friends who you are really close to that can listen really helps. when im down or one of my friend is down we ussually go to one of our favirote hangouts and just vent, Holding it all in is what makes it bad

i am not depressed like im sad sometimes of course but not to much really bothers me. I can relate to someone who suffers from depression though, i ate a lot of shrooms once and got so sad it was crazy kind of makes me not want to do them for a while. Several relatives suffer from depression and I have seen how it has effected their lives. Any time i feel bad i go pack up a fatty bowl and stick in a phish cd and pick up a friend or two and go drive around and smoke some bowls and listen to new concerts and it helps out.
Does anyone ever think like whats the point of living though. Like the only things i like are hiking with my dog, skiing, and partying and stuff with my friends I dont know if that is bad or something but i dont really have any ambitions for my life and stuff it kind of sucks.

Yeah lagwagon, know what you mean. And why not tell your parents? It might be good for them to know that it helps you to be talking to them and stuff like that. They're there for you bro and they obviously care about ya.

I have a kick ass CD that I listen to, to keep me awake while I'm driving but also to pump and get psyched. It's good just to chuck on and get charging again, replace the batteries ya know. Yeah, some cool ass music.

My first and only girlfriend dumped me on my birthday 5 years ago. It sucked ass, I was depressed for 2 years after that and tried to kill myself by slitting my wrists with a pair of scissors. I still have the scars, physically and psychologically. Going to see someone about it didn't help me, it just made it worse. The only thing that kicked me out of my depression was watching Ski Movie and realizing what I could do with my life. I went to High North that summer and forgot everything about that girl.

I told myself I would never fall in love again. Yet 3 years later I am in love with a girl I can never have. Everything about her I find attractive and it tortures me.

So I am going back into depression slowly but surely and there's nothing I can do about it. I'll just ski as much as possible because skiing is the only thing that makes me feel feel alive.

I think another part of why I'm going back to being depressed is because I really don't know what I'm doing with my life. I've lived in this city my whole life, and I chose to go to college here? Why did I do this. Sure Im good with computers, but it seems so unexciting. I really wish I had moved out west with all my friends. But I'm really not that great at skiing. I've been newschooling for 3 years and I still don't have 360s dialed.

Sorry for droning. I used to hate listening to depressed people talk about their problems.

Its allgood man, venting i think is the best cure. I got the 'lets just be friends' from the girl ive liked since grade 10 9im in grade 12 now) she was the only girl that i thought actually understood me, but ya i finally ended seeing her which she started, but then she goes and says that she still only see's me as her friend. can't even describe how im feeling. But anyways i just went out last night with my closest friends, friends that i know i can trust and we just vented at ourt faviorte hangout. I can't say it fixed it cause i still feel like shit but it helped a lot

Having no direction in life is horrible. Without goals, without dreams, wishes, whatever, why live?
So here's my goal for the rest of the year: Don't jump.
You know, if a person is so bored it hurts, after a while they'll want some scars.
It's hard for me to talk about anything serious with anybody. The only person I have to blame for my isolation is myself.
Life is fun. Gosh yeah.

My mom thinks im depressed. She sent me to a cycologist. I think i am, not sure though, but i always feel tired and i hate school. Also, i have a great group of friends, but sometimes i just feel like they dont like me when i know they do. Its all in my head. I dont know, i think everyone goes though it at some point. That point is now for me. I just feel like the world is against me sometimes, and that nothing in my life is going right. I dont really know what im going through, but im glad i can relate with you guys.

I think everyone does go through a stage like that. Sometimes you can feel like that for ages but yes, it is all in your head. Sometimes labelling it with something like 'depression' can quite simply make it worse, make you feel like you have a problem that is far more serious than it is. Usually it's just because you're changing, physcially, emotionally, mentally, maybe outgrowing your old friends, school, moving on in life, maturing, that sort of thing, can all lead to that train of thought.

Yo MSPbum i feel like that heaps, like i fully don't know what to think, and sometimes feel like ive got this world were i live fake to myself and be all happy with small things like tv, and then i think deeper and everything no matter if i actually like it just sucks.

Lagwagon. Is it legal to marry a band?

Im glad im not the only one. Sometimes i just like to sit and think, not do anything at all. Does any one else ever do that? I always have stuff to think about. Sometimes i consider if i really am depressed. My mom takes me to all these doctors to talk about it, they just make me feel worse, like i need some special treatment for what im going through. I also get pissed at my parents all the time. I feel like they dont understand me, they think i can do a lot better than i can, like in school. I feel like the society has grown so much from when our parents were kids, they dont know how it feels to try and be good at something today. I just think that theres too much to live up to these days, and being kids we try to live up to it. Just my little theory

definetly dude same here, but its all good when you think about it just try and have fun, hang with heaps of people all the time so you don't start to think too much thats what i do.
Lagwagon. Is it legal to marry a band?

mspbum, I totally hear you. When I lived at home (I'm in college now), I would get mad at my family for the dumbest things, just cause I felt like they didn't understand me. After I came to school I went and got help myself and now I feel much better, but sometimes I get in my old moods where I just need to mope and feel bad for myself. If you need somebody to talk to, I'm here for ya. I just wanted you to know you weren't alone.

whenever im down, i just smoke some crop.

if i feel depressed i listen to the most depressing music i can find and get ridiculously hammered and think about stuff....in some weird way it makes me feel good, but of course its only a temporary solution..

i think thats called alcoholism
Taste Death. Live Life.

I don't really have much experience with depression but I'm on medication right now for anxiety cuz I get these terrible panic attacks all the time. I'm also taking medicine for insomnia and uclers so yea I'm pretty fucked up right now. I think my shit is from like my life right now. I'm about to graduate college and my parents want me to go to law school or get my phd and I don't know what the hell I wanna do so it's kinda shitty. Anyways, just thought I'd vent to people that probably know what I'm talking about.

are you going to college for you parents?

Taste Death. Live Life.

wow. I'm suprised a lot of you have turned to meds. but I think with the 'depression' that a lot of teens have is less of feeling down, and mainly just not being happy. If you were really 'down' you'd want to cry a lot of the time. Everyone expects to be happy and when you're not happy and don't feel like faking happyness then you're considered depressed. which brings me to this point. I think people are too caught up with the life that they create for themselves. Life is much simpler than anyone makes it out to be, which Is why I think drinking is actually a good thing in some cases. It puts you in a much simpler mindset - not to escape reality but to actually experience reality instead of a bunch of tense, anxious, depressing, stressful occurances that make up your day. Not to say that everyone should drink all of the time, but if you haven't ever drank I suggest you experience it.

my philosphy about career and school is this:
If I have to stress myself to a degree that I cannot tolerate to get a certain mark then why would I want to spend the rest of my life working in a job that I would never enjoy.

It's like when people say they want to become a doctor. so they whine about how they've got to do so much work and get perfect so they can get thier 92% and get into the university program. they pop caffein pills to stay up and study, spend all of their time doing school work or at their job to save for a rediculiously expensive course. There's a reason why the pre.requisit is 92% and if you have to destroy yourself to achive that then how are you going to like working in a job that is equally stressful. people like this create a stressful reality for themselves getting into university is only difficult if you make it difficult.

It's not that I'm going for my parents, it's just that I majored in political science which is like a useless degree unless you go on in school. Law school or a phd is really about all you can do but I really just wanna be done with school. So I'm just kinda fucked, if I want a job I gotta go on but I really don't want to.

i was on a depression for a while then i found weed,now im out of it,same with my friend,he was on a depression for almost 4 years and he became a super stoner and hes not anymore,

It's difficult not to go on meds. Everybodys pushing them. I've had to say 'no' to AD's about 10 times within a month. If anybody asks me to consider it just one more time I'm going to say yes.

Why not. I'm tired of trying to be happy...
