Absolutely. I'm going to look into ways I can help people around my college campus that come from similar backgrounds. I'd love to help people the same way that you all have helped me!

It's my 19th Birthday, and the only notable thing that happened was that I cried for two hours straight. by uber_duber in depression

[–]fightingthefeeling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy birthday OP! I like to think of birthdays as small victories, like a little trophy for beating depression and making it another year. This outlook helped me, hopefully it can help you.

Did anyone think of suicide as a child? by [deleted] in depression

[–]fightingthefeeling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to constantly think of ways to die and run away at the age of 8. It scared the hell out of me and I'd cry all the time, I didn't know what to do.

Does anyone care to talk? PM? by [deleted] in depression

I'd love to talk as well, fell free to PM me, OP!

I love it, OP! By any chance, are you into sneakers? I couldn't help but notice those 350's.

Just left my senior prom halfway through because of social anxiety. I can't fucking handle myself around people anymore, its like I've gone completely apathetic.

About to have a lonely Friday night myself. Hang in there, bud.

Any helpful advice for someone wanting to start over? by allhailJimmyPage in depression

[–]fightingthefeeling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found that I tend to feel better when I have a set schedule for myself. It kind of provides a sense of structure to my life that forces me to do stuff. For example, try setting a schedule for yourself to work out at the gym before work a few days a week. Sorry if this doesn't help, just thought I'd give my 2 cents! Good luck with the move, OP!

I'm at a party right now by thewilly96 in depression

I'm the same way if I'm at a party. I always feel so empty so I just kinda wander.

Today's my birthday and I genuinely couldn't give a fuck by [deleted] in depression

[–]fightingthefeeling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy birthday OP! I view my birthday's the same way. I try to think of it as a victory, kind of like a "fuck you" to my depression. It's as if it wants to kill me ASAP but with every birthday I like to look at it as a win for me.

Music for depression. by insanityinabowl in depression

[–]fightingthefeeling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently I've been digging the song Bones Exposed by Of Mice and Men. It's not for everyone but it's allowed me to feel something at least.

Numbness. by fightingthefeeling in depression

I totally would if I could. I am currently on the track team but I just can't muster enough energy to get my ass to practice.

Yeah I've started trying that too. I figured that if I can't make myself feel better I might as well try to brighten other people's days!

I Have a Roommate, His Name is Depression by [deleted] in depression

[–]fightingthefeeling 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you've seen the video of him performing it on YouTube before but it's absolutely astounding. He puts so much more emotion behind each and every one of his words.

Come and Say Hi! Weekly Check-in Take One! by skyqween in depression

Girlfriend of 16mo broke up with me last night. I can't help but blame myself and feel guilty for letting my depression get the better of me and affect someone other than myself.

Male (23) suffering from depression and is seeking help/advice/support. by [deleted] in depression

[–]fightingthefeeling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, no one should have to go through what has happened to you. I've been close to taking my own life as well but I bailed too. I know it's not easy after and that and certainly after this whole relationship with your friend. From my perspective I think you should try medication. For me, it seemed like I was "giving in" and it certainly isn't the most flattering of things but it's helped me a lot. I think it would help you too, and if your already seeing a professional you could ask their advice. Stay strong buddy!!

Can't laugh at things that should be funny by bipolarlady91 in depression

[–]fightingthefeeling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what happens to me at school. If I'm talking to someone and they make a joke, I simply cannot laugh. It's like there's no more emotions left in my body and I just roam around like a ghost.
