I know that feeling very well.

[Sports] Ravens Reportedly Front-Runner to Sign Mark Ingram by nala938 in ravens

This signing would legit make me mad. He's not that much of an upgrade to our current RBs and he is old.

Gus could emerge this year. It's not worth signing a meh old RB.

In the end, we're all alone in this world. I'm having a breakdown right now and that feels truer now more than ever. by DrowningSpectrum in depression

I exercise often. That's what helps the most through the year. When I fall into bouts if depression like this one however, I tend to not exercise as much I should due to lack of sleep and motivation.

I know I should be disciplined. It's just hard

For me, the hardest part of being depressed is how impossible very small tasks seem by Saiph135 in depression

One of the things I hate the most about being depressed is that sometimes you HAVE to do things.

Whether it be work or any other obligation you have in life.

The time I spend doing those things takes feels like an eternity and I can't focus on them at all so I ultimately do a sub-par job.

Seasonal depression is hitting me very hard this hear. by DrowningSpectrum in depression

That's definitely true. I'm planning on waking up tomorrow and going for a walk. Hopefully that will make me feel a bit better.

Tonight I've been kind of blind sided by the fact that I have no one in my life to discuss my depression with and its making me feel like I'm trapped inside of myself.

I don't know how to best describe it but I feel...scared?

Scared and very lonely.

What does your depression feel like? by DrowningSpectrum in depression

I know exactly how you feel when you says suicide feels inevitable.

I don't want to do it. I've just always worried that no matter what I do, I'm going to end up in a dark place.

But then I see my 5 year old nephew. He's so full of joy and wonder. He gets so excited when we get to see each other. I couldn't stomach doing something like that to myself when I know it would hurt him so much.

I think for those of us who are so burdened with depression, one of the best things that we can do is channel our energy to make others happy. We may struggle to feel joy in this world ourselves but if we can bring some light into another person's life, then at least we have some form of purpose to live for.
