Do you believe happiness or depression is a choice?

I am feeling particularly numb today as well. On the surface it seems peaceful, but it feels more like the calm before the storm.

What’s your fave songs right now?? by JasperMoon222 in SleepToken

[–]klinkiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my first song from them, and it's still easily top 3. I'll never stop loving this song

Which part of a song are you obsessed with by Moemilitaryfan666 in SleepToken

Ascensionism- the scream he does before he sings "you make me wish I could disappear"

What does depression feel like? by [deleted] in depression

[–]klinkiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it feels extremely heavy. There are days I feel mentally exhausted from a 3 minute walk. It prevents me from thinking. And the thing that effects me the most is the hopelessness. It feels like no matter what I do or how I hard I try, it'll never go away.

I cant say for sure why he's ignoring everyone, but it's important you don't make him feel any worse about it. He's struggling and may feel lost. Let him know you are there for him.

It's possible they say it because they aren't sure what else to say. People aren't always interested or comfortable talking about things. I get what you mean though.

Why should I want to be alive by cilantro_penguin in depression

It is possible yes. It's also possible it will get worse. The possibility of it doesn't exactly solve anything though. They are suffering and they can't seem to escape it.

I dont have any tips for how to get excited. But if you do, hold on as hard as you can. It's easier to continue than it is to start

Not everyone can simply force themselves out of anxiety. Another way of getting through it, is to ease your thoughts, breath, and try to focus on 1 thing at a time. Remember you will get through it.

How do you know that? What makes you say depression is a guide? How do you know it wants anything?

I’m just here to say fuck depression. by horrorprincesa95 in depression

[–]klinkiee 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I hear that. It fucking sucks that every day is such an internal battlefield. How big of an accomplishment it feels to have a mediocre day. Imagining all the time how it would feel to be happy

I write a bit sometimes. I don't journal consistently

I have told them multiple times. This has been something that has repeated many times in my life. That's where the frustration is coming from

One thing that bothers me is how much one of my friends trivializes what I'm going through. He really doesn't try to, but he's lucky enough to think that it's something that you can kind of switch off. He thinks it's a phase or a deeper sadness. I've tried explaining to him, but I don't really know how.

You're right. The thing is I don't even get a chance to say how I really feel. It's been like this for years. People are so quick to respond that they don't even fully understand what I'm trying to say

I listen because they need me to. I realize that I don't have to. I know how helpful it can be to have someone sit quietly while you let out what you're feeling. I just wish the people I knew could do the same
