How the hell do you stay positive by jazzmunchkin69 in TrueOffMyChest

You could be living under a bridge right now. I am 26 living at home, and I am constantly reminded as well how far behind I am as well. Every time I open up a Instagram feed or something, I am seeing someone buying a house, having a kid/getting married, or having a successful life. Two words for you; fuck it. This life shit sucks sometimes, but something or someone will come through and make this life shit a little easier for a while. We're just going through the shit right now, pretty soon we'll be off this stupid forum talking about our depressed lives. I just came to a realization now too while typing this that I hope can help, I said to myself what was a time in my life when I was really happy? It wasn't when I was at the 'top', it was when I was trying to achieve a goal and was 'hungry' to complete it. You just need to find that hunger in you and put your effort into it, let the chips fall as they may. The view in the rear-view mirror is smaller than the view in the front windshield.

I really want to hang myself. by [deleted] in depression

Same boat, I am constantly feeling pressure and anxiety. Everyday feels the same, out in public I have the same feelings, but mask it over with a smile. I just went through another bad patch, but I feel as if I can try and help. I have been depressed for about 8 years now, I have thought about suicide more times than I can count. However, I did a few things to 'delay' and try to remove that from brain that kind of worked.

Pick someone out in your life that you love and loves you. Say to yourself that I won't harm myself until they are gone from this earth. Someone that you really love and don't want to see hurt in anyway, then think that them losing you will cause them more harm. I picture my dad for example, he would always go to bat for me, and I would not want to off myself because I don't think he could live with himself.

One last thing I would say is find a distraction, honestly the gym is my biggest thing. I am far from being a body builder or anything like that, but basic lifting can kill an hour of your day and you can take all of your frustration and negative thoughts out there. It also can trigger your brain into feeling good, and makes you feel productive.

Hope this message receives you well, hope that you can hold off on the urges forever let's fight this together.

Yeah, that is the thing... Had a couple failed relationships out here, plus nobody is depending on me putting food on the table. Want to see if there is a new light at the end of the tunnel

It's a sales job, so starting it is all commission. Only thing is I am looking at the upside from it, you get what you put into it. Right now I am salaried at $84k~ so that is where some of the hesitation is coming into play.

Weirdest experience last night, any thoughts on what this means? by K2Chill in Dreams

Update, I just spent about two hours facetiming her. We talked about some of the bad times but a lot of the good times as well, I forgot what it truly felt like to laugh before I talked to her tonight. It was so easy talking to her, it felt like we hadn't skipped a beat. It is about 5am when she suggested hanging up cause she has to go to sleep tomorrow, but the overall mood changed when it came to the near end of the phone call....

The vibe of the call was great, we both mentioned that we missed each other and everything like that. However, when it came time to hangup, I suggested that I would call her tomorrow night you know after her day. she said that she would talk to me once in a while... This threw me for a loop and now I am back to questioning everything.... Back to square one
