i defeated my depression with meditation and learning about spirituality, through the fact that death is just a new beginning.

At this point in my life it seems like all I do is put up with it. I do smoke weed but that's no anti-depressant. I dunno. An issue with depression is you tend to be lazy when it comes to doing anything about it. Well for me anyway.

I become a sadistic bastard... literally... and turn all of my depressed thoughts into evil thoughts and begin having a sadistic passion for torturing people, however, i would never do any of the such.

So you basically lie to yourself.

You need to hold on to the fact that when you are at a low it's all about the chemicals in your brain fucking you up. Learn to separate emotion from logical thought, it is the only way.

>expect any other response from /b/
>i trolled myself.

anyways, no it's not lieing, but i'm not gonna get into it, cause you wont listen.

i'm interested in this too. medication doesn't really work for me.

>>348433206
I used to do that.

In addition to my statements. Listen to some House, Trance, or Dubstep... I'm telling you right now that you won't regret it.

Get out and make new friends, real ones. Best advice I can give you. And especially if old friends are underlying source of depression, do not let them contaminate new friends. Slowly cut off those old friends. It wasn't working out anyway.

I'm pretty sure I'm depressed. Been thinking of heroing off and on for the last 12 years or so. I stay off alcohol but get into some weed about once every 2 years or so. I guess I cope by just locking myself in my house with the internet and letting the world outside go its merry way.

A while ago I went to a doctor and they tried to put me on anti-depressants but if I'm gonna be on those, I might as well go get hammered drunk instead. The world sucks ass, people are shitty, and I don't want to play anymore.

I guess the best thing that works for me is getting pissed off and refusing to let the fucksticks that put me in a depressed mood win. Anger is what fuels me out of my depression. Instead of wanting to kill myself, I want to get some payback on the motherfuckers who wronged me. I'm not sure if that is healthy or not, but that's how it is.

I smoke weed.

take ecstasy youll never be sad again

Not a doctor, but if I was I might be inclined to say that you have mania and possibly try to put you on lithium.

I'm bipolar, so I get depressed, but then I remind myself that unlike depressionfags, I have the ability to get coke high from absolutely nothing.

Try to find something you ACTUALLY enjoy doing... this is tough because whatever you used to do isn't 'fun' anymore.. so find something new!!

The advice to find new friends is solid... and if you're social thats finding something NEW.. but you need to have a passion for something... thats how I got out of it atleast...

What was that something you ask?

Starcraft II and a Masters program... I know.. not the most glorious solutions... but I've made new friends and it gives me something to look forward to~

tried to kill myself by driving my car into a telephone pole. shot through the windshield and narrowly missed a few trees. walked away with minor cuts and bruises. since i tried to take that plunge and came out scotch free it seems more.. manageable. depression is often followed by delusions of grandeur. i think i fall under that.

This is exactly how I feel, and I honestly think I'm going to plan out the deaths of my enemies, but anyways....

who wants to play minecraft?

lithium is a complete emotional straightjacket and has side effects such as weight gain.

I'd recommend depakote. It's what I'm on. Also, if you do get taken in for mania, try and get legal valium. I was on that for a bit but stopped it because it just seemed too easy, but I wish I kept the perscription

food and exercise. Lots of both

try vitamin c
a lot of times depression is simply due to a lack of vitamins, but you are prescribed pills to make more money

OP the mind is so fuckin powerful. It's gonna take you months but it's possible. Don't be a fuckin quitter, keep trying, and tame that bitch.

this

i have depression, man it is so bad i have to keep myself for crying just having conversations with people

I don't even know dude, I have no idea how I cope with it... I just deal with it, you know?
It's probably not healthy. But the way I look at it, if I want to an hero anyways, I might as well live while I can, fuck all the girls I can, and do all the drugs I can.

>>348432735 realize there are more than 1 billion people who have life worse than you and man up

I have borderline personality and severe anxiety and depression.

Just got out of a partial in-patient out-patient program and they wanted to dope me up on high doses of pills, so I left...

Just leaving the house and finishing school is a hard task and I think of dying every day. Don't know why.
I have no emotional control.

Music. Loud as fuck music.

for those giving advice thanks i appreciate

I have had depression for years. I took meds for a year, then decided i didn't need it anymore. Stopped meds and therapy. Then I felt like complete shit. That was 9 years ago. How do I get by? Simple. I set some fucking goals for what I want. And while I'm in the process of achieving those goals I come up with new goals. It just goes on and on. It might be fucking crazy to think like this, but it keeps me motivated.

Set some goals for yourself. Get started right now.
