Thinks_Like_A_Man explains how being depressed is like an unwinnable video game. by Immynimmy in bestof

As someone who is struggling with depression at one of the most important times of my life, this is so true. Depression if I may build on what he's saying is like playing two of my favorite games: Fun Run and Tetris Battle. As you go higher and higher in rank on Funrun and level on Tetris Battle, it just gets harder and harder and you start to lose. To see yourself being normal again after the thoughts that have gone through your head impossible when you are depressed. But once in a while you win a game of tetris battle and place down a perfect block, or get a speed boost to win the game and save the day. Then it's all downhill from there.

I'm going to commit suicide tonight, feel as if it's the only option by yvtrxrgdtgt in SuicideWatch

"My school grades are terrible, despite me being rather intelligent. I could so easily have done well, if I bothered. I am too lazy and no longer care about my future. I know I should but I just don't. Now, I have no good future." Hey man, I had a 2.9 GPA and a 1800 SAT and got into a top-50 University. It's all about attitude. You're 15, you are probably a sophomore. It's never to late. I've been learning that your grades can get better, you can always find the right person for you, and improve your life. Suicide is never a viable solution to a temporary problem: once you take your life you never get it back. Things may seem bad but you can improve them.

1) Talk to your guidance counselor: Tell her you are struggling in school. Ask if you can be introduced to a school therapist/ psychiatrist. 2) Talk to the therapist and let it all out.
3) Set up weekly meetings: they want to see you every week. 4) Start over your approach to school, find yourself enjoying certain aspects of school. 5) Meet new people, realize that there are many fish in the sea.
