seriously sucks. people will DEFINITELY call me emo, but whatever.

im so depressed at the moment that when im skiing i keep fucking up trying to learn new stuff because i cant fully concentrate or enjoy what im doing anymore. its getting fucked up. i want to feel happy and all that. and i try to. but for those that havent been ina depression, you cant just feel better. seriously its not like just being a bit sad, its feeling sad and not being able to feel better for quite a long time.

anyways, any suggestions to kick this fucking thing?  my skiing lifestyle depends on it. haha

I don't know too much about it..
but definitely go see a psychiatrist.. there are medications other than ones like prozac that you can take.
to me depression seems to be fairly common, and it's not an emo thing. I have family and friends who have depression but lead normal and successful lives.

when im depressed ill listen to some good music, and just go chill in nature. if your in a semi remote area. just walk outside, sit and listen. close your eyes. dont think

doing that is one of the best things ive discovered lately

get outside and do something that you've never done before.

Break barriers and do something that gets your adrenaline up and gets you PUMPED.

Do something you're scared of and then charge it head on and style the living fuck out of it.  It happens to me skiing and kayaking, you feel down and then you huck yourself off a cliff or waterfall and at the bottom of it you have so much energy and adrenaline and you're ready for anything.

Getting outside and getting pumped up are the key things here.  Be active and get your blood pumping

Honestly call me a hippie or whatever but try meditation. Go somewhere without distractions and just clear your mind and just think positive vibes. Thats what I do and it helps me figure shit out, and ultimatley makes me a happier person. I used to get depressed for dumb ass reasons or none sometimes and you just gotta get through it. Most of the time that means just take sometime for yourself.

I am kinda going through the same thing...I was soooooo stoked on going skiing and new snow and stuff, and then all of a sudden this week I was like...what am I even doing this for? why did I even love this so much? but I think its the heavy adderall I have been taking during finals week, and how High North shut down. I know I will get over it, and I kinda already am starting to its just a matter of time. I think its the adderall that's making me feel down.

Bump.  This is probably the best advice.  I went throught some pretty rough times and have been severly depressed before so I know what you're going through.  The more you get outside and get sun the better you will feel - the optic nerves in the eye send messages to the brain that help to boost the seretonin (happy chemicals) levels.  Talking will help, and anti-depressant meds also help if you find the right one and are on a low dose.  I still take anti-depressants and I did have to go through about 3 to find the right one - clinical depression runs in my family.  I can't tell you how much of a difference just 10mg (which is TINY) a day makes.  I don't know how long you've been depressed for, but you might have seasonal depression (which does happen in people often).  Definitely talk to a doctor, even if it's just your family physician.  If you get in with a crappy pyschologist, they can really screw you up.  If the person has his or her degree from the interpersonal college of clinical psychology or ITTech online or something, get the hell out of there.
