tips to dealing with depression

[Copy Kirby]

no it really doesn't at all

eh. Well, sorry for the misunderstanding. I just get really defensive over depressed people due to having a mixture of depression and anxiety myself at one point in my life.

A few good tips:

1. For starters, if you feel you have depression get that checked out by a psychiatrist.
2. Studies have shown Exercise to be as affective at lowering the affects of depression as anti-depressant medicine, so do both.
3. Make sure you have a good support group of friends and family. Don't lock yourself in your house, try and hangout with friends as often as possible.
4. Attend regular therapy, group therapy is a good solution, as it can also allow you to meet new friends going through the same struggles.
5. Take it each day at a time, and try and stay positive. You'll make it through this, I promise.
6. This is the most important, Don't talk about your feelings to the forums. They'll butcher you

[doaler]

to cure depression, i have some choices

-watch some draw my life videos from utube celebs and see their pain and see how they fixed it
-play video games that make you happy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6C2Ihfxv8g)
-listen to music (coldplay)
-just wait

my situation:
told my parents im depressed
they say im just bored
i've tried every option i've came across and nothing makes me happy i dont know why
the amount of immense stress i've experienced in the past 2 years put a dent in my emotions
i don't really feel anything anymore
my uncle died and i didn't shed a single tear
its like i didnt care about him but i did

yeah I know this feeling
except my parents were supportive instead but it didn't really help anyway

2 Summers ago, my cat, Zeus died, he was next to the patio door, laying there waiting to be let it. My Dad didn’t know how long he’d been dead, but Zeus was older than me and my Mom and Dad had found him like 2-years before I was even born. So my Dad was pretty sad, and when they told me I was more shocked than sad, I mean, I WAS sad, but I didn’t cry, I never really personally bonded with him, but he would sleep with me in my bed. And for the next few days, I didn’t really do anything progressive, just watched TV and got on the computer every hear-and-now.

you said:

i hate when people make their depression everyone else's problem

and i responded to what you said
if that's not what you mean, then could you tell me what you really mean?

key words in your reply are "he isn't." i never said kahnu was. it has genuinely been a problem for me before when people force their mental illnesses upon me.

get a hobby that involves some sort of physical activity. it helps a lot actually. i was just a sad sack of stuff for a while but then i started fencing. it's quite a workout and i get to talk to people and get out of the house. it's helped my social skills and confidence and i'm a pretty happy d00d now, got a gf and some great friends.

i think when you do literally nothing outside of school/work but sit on your ass playing vidya then you don't really have much of a reason to get up in the morning or bother doing anything at all and eventually start to think that life is meaningless and blah blah so yeah, having some sort of extra curricular activity is a must, especially if it's some sort of physical activity. it helps get stress and stuff out.

friends are also good to have too. and getting involved in something is a good way to make friends and having hobbies makes you less boring.
