Answer 1

Don't listen to all that crap from some of those people up there, god? yeah right. Talking to a stranger about your problems? I don't think so.
Depression if not meant for the low curiousity type of person. If you're going to be depressed, then question youself, your life, and why you're stuck on this road. Please don't drown your sorrow in alcohol, drugs, music, or any way to exert the pain from your body. It will only delay your melancholic life, it will be there once your high is gone, and it will remain. When you're depressed, you're trap in time...in everchanging sequences of gloomy despondency. The best way to solve pain is to embrace it. Why do you think ppl go to therapist? They go there knowing that they'll have to talk about their pain, knowing they'll suffer more. In your mind, you know they could have experienced depression and have prior knowledge to cure you, but they don't...it's all about you. Reveal your pain to others, scorn life(not yourself) sometimes it help, scream in the top of your lungs, or just substain yourself in more pain as you watch a sunset. The point is to clear your head, your thoughts, and your trapped insanity. The best way to solve a depression is to question, question others, recommend a philosopher, question why is the way it is. prehaps they can clear up some misery you hold deep inside. Don't seek strangers for help...they don't know you too well, and one session of therapy won't help. What you need is a real friend, who'll help you stop procastinating, one who'll listen to your problems, and your heart. Like a pen pal, you will write each other, and solve what life has to offer. The best way to find someone who understands you is to find someone who's going through the same thing. Life doesn't need to be miserable....you chose to be. So continue down that pth until you're at the bottom, because delaying the pain will only subtract time in your life.

If you want help....then learn to accept help from others, they may not know how you're feeling, but at least know they want to help. The world cares if you live or die, understand that. We don't know what your future holds...who knows, you might actually be the cure for all the diseases in the world, lol

Don't let your loss put you down, because when you've lost completely, that is when you learn not to lose again. You need to learn what depression is about....not learn how to get away from it.


Thank for you listening,

Answer 2

u should probably seek professional help then or there are chat rooms designed for people with depression.
Try writing a list of all the good things in your life and compliments people have paid you since as far back as you remember focus on the good things and pull the list every time you are feeling down. Or you could try menial things like coluring books, it may seem childish but it keeps you focused and is easy to do and keeps the mind of what is making you down.
keep ypur chin up and concentrate on feeling better about yourself if you are better peole who care around you will feel better also and this will make your mood better
xx
p.s try and not take the drugs they only mask a problem and not get to the root of it

Answer 3

Focus on the positives in your life, not the negatives. Acknowledge your accomplishments in your life and feel good about them! Be grateful for the abilities you have now and not the ones you don't. Be grateful for two good eyes that you can see the wonders of nature-for their are people who are blind; be grateful for the two good ears to hear the birds calling each morning-for their are people who are deaf. Be grateful for your ability to talk-for their are people that can not speak. Be grateful for your two good arms and hands to hold someone in a hug-for their are people unable to use their arms and hands, either by stroke or birth defects. Be grateful for your two good legs and feet that you can get from one room to the next-for their are people in wheelchairs or bedfast or born without limbs.

There are many things in life, no matter how great or small that you can focus on if you are just willing to look and find them.

Do you have a hobby? Is there something you are interested in that could get your mind off of yourself? Explore your options and once you have found something, then do it. Hobbies are excellent ways to combat depression.

Do you exercise? Walking or light jogging or riding a bicycle are excellent forms of exercise that can help reduce your depression.

Are you taking any anti-depression medications? If the answer is no, then after you have tried all the above, you need to see your family physician. He or she may recommend you to see a psychiatrist for some medications.

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

Answer 4

First of all you should stay calm and don't do anything to hurt yourself or others. Then you should try a local counseling agency and see if they can give you some free advice. Just try to be happy and when you feel yourself getting depressed try to read a boOK, play a game, or chat with someone on yahoo messenger. Think about all of the good things about your life and how you want to change it to become a better person. I really hope that you will be ok. Try to get out with friends more and think about yourself and how you want to live. I really hope this works. I tried!

Answer 5

depression sucks because your looking for an answer and sometimes people don't have one. You have problems that you wish people can help you solve it, but to tell you the truth they don't even know what to say because they don't know what your going through. I've been in the same situation and also i had friends that been through that and they ask me for help, but i don't know what to tell them or what can i do because i try to look for a solution but then yet another problem arrives so whats the point all you have to do is depend on yourself because in that way you'll know how to rise and if you fall to worst things you'll know how to rise again because you had dealed with it before. Learn from your mistakes ^_^
(remember; that's what i think and what i believe in. Follow your path)

Answer 6

Go for a walk. Do a favor for someone. Volunteer - really, it does really help. But when you are in that mood it is hard to get going. You need to ask yourself if you really want to get out of that mood or do you feel comfortable in it and want to stay in it. Just get up and walk around - see if you can keep on walking: "Put one foot in front of the other". And yes, as someone else suggested, seek medical help.

Answer 7

I am sorry if this answer is not what you are looking for but I would tell you to read your Bible and get a relationship with God. If you do not belive in God or do not want to do that option I suggest that you write in a Journal it helps a lot. Do not fell bad for yourself. I do that all the time and it makes it worse. Try doing a sport that helps also.

Answer 8

see your doctor if this is new...i am totally new, you may have a medical conditon...i was like that when my thyroid was not diagnosed yet. i thought i was crazy and called a psychiatrist and he told me to have a complete physical and my tsh level was 21 and should have been between 2 and 4...just get yourself checked out...if you are not that bad and it was just a small episode then......well i guess you are okay then:-)

Answer 9

hmm talk to someone you trust about the situation. Keeping the problem bottled up inside will only make it worst. TRUST ME. Find a good therapist.

Answer 10

Well, Abraham, try thinking about other subjects, when you're off line. Drink some warm milk before bed, even.
