All I want is to live in a utopia. Every day I want to take a pretty girl on a date. Just repeatedly do that every day.
|
I don't have any answers for the girl bit, but getting active in political and activist organizations could help work toward the desired utopia. Maybe you can meet some people with similar interests?

hit a big depressive dip recently.. a combination of parents yelling at me, dissatisfaction at life, and mixed feelings about everything brought me into a low point again. i feel like i've broken yet another thing inside me.
|
I was like this at 16-18 all I wanted to do was sit in front of my computer and not leave the house. It wasn't like I was actually doing anything productive but on youtube / games I was just rotting and completely ok with it because it stopped me feeling that deep void inside and the negative voice. I am now 28. Iv'e managed to find a little bit more of a balance between technology and life but I am still depressed and cycle in and out of this. I would look into an addiction though, it is possible to be addicted to electronics (especially gaming and the internet). If you feel like you're agitated and your depression is linked into computer usage you might want to consider that your depression and negativity is linked into an addiction.

Another birthday without anyone remembering. I love my life so much what did I do to deserve such a life
|
As you get older you might be glad to find them not remembered. I think it's important to not rely on external validation (easy to say right?) but also to provide that support to others. Let's say you try to make to recognise the birthday or other significant event for at least two other people you know this year.... I don't know if that will help.

Why do people want to live?. It feels like a sentence more than a privilege, even though I know very privileged. Your whole life is fucking predetermined for you and then you are lied to your whole child hood. No one even sounds that happy and yet people still have children... lifes fucking unfair.
|
I always wondered, why are people so obsessed with prolonging their lives?? Are you just into pain?
| 0.333333 |
it just keeps getting worse. please tell me what to do.. I was let go from my job. My boyfriend left me. I can't stop crying. Everything is just.... I want desperately to die. I can't keep up with this. I'm not strong enough. Please just tell me what I can do to feel better.
|
I am in the exact same place. I've lost two jobs and two boyfriends in the last year (2 jobs in the last 6 months). My ex lives two blocks away and I see him every time I leave the house. I never see my friends. I live alone and money is running out. I can't imagine finding a new job (my background makes it impossible) or finding new love (I'm too old). But you are not alone. Know that I am here and you can PM me and we can be there for each other, for whatever it's worth.

Cheer me up please. Just if you something funny or nice you saw or heard today that would be good.

That feeling when you look at the dental bill.... ...and could scream in agony, realizing no one but yourself is to blame for abusing you by neglecting your teeth, including expensive previous dental work that's now gone to hell. Depression carries some very heavy lessons.

That feeling when your teeth are rotting away and you're too scared to go to the dentist. :(

I have no one. I thought I had finally found a close friend, but she's been distant. Probably a slow ghost. Don't get me wrong, every close relationship I have had has ended, but it's usually abrupt so I'm not surprised. Oh well.

Scrolling through my Instagram feed.... ...seeing everyone loving life, hanging out with friends, travelling, going places, doing things. And I'm just here in my room with my hand in my pants doing fuck all. FML

Social media is highlight reel! Nobody ever broadcasts the shitty behind-the-scenes stuff. If it really bothers you, which it sounds like it does, maybe take a step back and either reduce or stop using social media. have to be permanent, but it will help you keep your space safe so other people influencing your thoughts in a negative way. Hand in pants is a really great way to relax! No shame in that game. Sometimes when I feel sad I lay on my deck with my hand in my pants so at least sad in the sunshine.

Apparently I should be happy that not everyone at work hates me. I had lunch with a colleague today at his invitation. After I returned to work, a fellow colleague asked where had I been and I accordingly told him. He then said, not everyone hates I am so glad.
|
Hm. I think they were just trying to make an off-hand joke or something. Sometimes (most of the time) co-workers berate each other. It's all banter most of the time. But if he took the time and interest to ask where you've been, I don't think he hates you. I understand why it upsets you, people like us, most people with depression, hang on to the little negative things throughout their day that most people brush off, and they eat away at us. But I want you to know, that it's okay. If it really made you uncomfortable, confront him / her about it. Or talk to HR if you want. Or your boss, or whomever. But don't hold a grudge against him / her. They most likely just didn't know how it would affect you. :c But das okay, because we're all here for you ^-^

do you have any hobbies? do you like movies, tv shows, books, music, games? they all seem to help me distract myself from feeling like shit, distraction is your friend when you hit an especially low spot.

desperate to be loved. I realized that my need for love is the main cause for my depression and I dont know what to do with it. it's such a strong desire, it's almost impossible to get rid of. does anyone else have this desperation and does it ever go away?
|
i feel that at times. it sucks because the person i want to love me does love me, just not how i want which is selfish of me. you can't depend on others for happiness though. love is great but you lost it and you're fucked. also it's hard to love or be loved if you don't love yourself.

Time. What has been the most effective use of time in overcoming depression?
|
Trying to study, understand, and accept yourself -- relatable music, expressive activities, which invoke you out from within, out of your own being, and into any form of materialized form to see/hear clearly. Et cetera. Basically spending time with your own self on deeper levels, as difficult and sometimes even saddening that may be and feel so.

No matter what I do I can't win his heart. And he keeps on rejecting me

Good quote: During the days I wait for night, During the nights I wait for morning. Not mine and I probably butchered it in translation, but perfectly describe the answer to that If you don't work or study, what do you do all day? question. I almost cried reading it.

Luckily, I'm content at night. Can lay in the dark and do nothing. It's peaceful

Alone. I have tons of friends and family that love me but yet I've never felt so alone

I'm sort of the same. I have friends, but I don't have close friends. I can be at a social event, especially family gatherings and I would feel so alone when everyone has fun socializing with each other.

I noticed, that for each day I am out of school in a row, I get gradually more happier and less depressiv.. Currently day fourth and I am relieved im not in school. But soon, I have to go again there, because an stupid law in Germany.
|
Hey :) what don't you like about school?
| 0.333333 |
why do i constantly cry for help and turn it down when i ACTUALLY get help. i feel like such an attention whore
|
When I felt this way, I came to the conclusion that I didn't know who I was without these feelings. I didn't know what I liked anymore, would I be empty without this sadness? That sort of thought process, it was a lot of fear that drove me away from help. It's natural to be afraid of things changing. But when you feel ready to, these changes are for the better.

Depression isn’t wanting to not exist, its more not wanting to exist feeling like this. And sometimes you just cant stop feeling like this.
|
I think once out of this, look back thinking I could never be happy? And enjoy those times when they last.

Every part of my body hurts.. My feet ache, my arms are sore, my stomach is hurting from purging, my wrists hurt from scratching, my eyes are heavy, and there's just so much shit in my head.
|
You didn't ask, but this is a public forum, so I'm gonna comment. Here are some things that might help: food, sleep, water, fresh air, a shower, getting dressed as if someone was coming by, listening to music. You can obviously pick and choose the ones that apply to you, or the ones that you feel up for, or none at all. It's all alright. Whatever you do, don't beat yourself up, because I'm sure you're doing everything you reasonably can be right now. I hope tomorrow's okay. And don't hesitate to reply with an update later, yeah? You'll be okay <3

Happiness isn't a choice.. I have tried so hard and I've just about had it.

Anyone else feel like they'll never actually find their purpose in life. Like you will never find the one that you absolutely love to do and will want to do for the rest of your life. You just aimlessly float lost in the world.
|
All. The. Time. I have a job that affords me an easy lifestyle but is basically meaningless. An easy relationship for which I should have no complaints but doesn't challenge me. No real talents or super interesting hobbies. So... what am I doing? And why am I doing it? Been trying lately to shift my focus from finding my purpose to finding a purpose somewhere. It's a subtle difference but eases some of the hopeless sting of everyday life. Perhaps I missed my chance or my calling for something great, but I still have a sphere of influence in which I can affect the world and others around me.

Currently sitting at the water's edge, wanting to jump. Don't worry I don't think I actually will.
|
Why? Do you want to talk about it? Whats made you feel like wanting to?
| 0.333333 |
A close friend told me that I should do what I want and I'd be much happier.. My first thought was suicide.
|
What? As long as it's not directly physically hurting another person you should always do whatever makes you happy. And if it's suicide then that's not wrong. For some people suicide is the answer. To act like every single person ever will one day find a reason to want to live is ignorant and idiotic at best. Is there a chance you will? Of course. But to many people it's not worth continuing to live with something that they've dealt with for years at a chance of having it magically get cured.

Depression is like standing in a puddle of darkness slowly being pulled under.. No one's coming to save me.
|
well i guess when you put it that way, nobody would be able to save you. puddles are pretty small, probably like your inner circle, so the more people you have around you, the more chances you have to meet people who care about you. depression may feel like being encapsulated, but nobody can help if you domt ask for it. idk im drunk

How do you guys keep going when it feels like you're 6 feet below rock bottom.. Edit: no thanks for the help guys
|
Sorry this is over a month old but I do hope you are feeling better. The thing about bottom is, there is only one other place to go. Talking things out with someone often puts things into perspective but even the act of just getting things off your chest usually helps. Let me know if you want to chat, I will listen.

Anybody else staying in bed all day?. Seems like everybody else is enjoying the holiday but to me it's the same as any other day. I wasn't invited to any cookouts and I don't have any friends to go see fireworks with so I guess I will just stay in bed.

Yeah, I wasn't invited to anything either. My family invited me to sit alone and watch all their dogs while they kayak, but I figured it would be less depressing here. I honestly wish I could've worked today.

I hate social media. I fucking hate facebook and snapchat, and get more lonely the more I browse them. Then just don't look at them... well I have a fear of missing out and it's such an integral part of our generation's lives...

So today is the day I finally open up to a close friend. However I have no idea where to start, how to start or what to say, can any of you help?

Anti depressants. Hey guys wanted to know your thoughts on anti depressants? What worked, what didn't, side effects and just any advice from experience.

was on fluoxetine (i think is how its spelt) for 9 years or so. definitely helped but i found that in a 2 week period im having 10 good days and then 4 severely bad days. so i quit them 9 months ago, best thing i did. it really clears your head to be off them. but by all means if you have the chance to try them, do it. thats just how i reacted with it. good luck mate.

My suicidal thought is imploding on me and I AM EXTREMELY MOTIVATED to do it. I am afraid I will do something.... My hands are shaking... and my heart is physically hurting.

Alright breathe. Its going to be okay. Your adrenaline is pumping and you're not thinking clearly. Take a moment step outside, get a snack or some thing to drink. Its going to be okay. Unfortunately, you didn't give any description so I'm not sure what I can help you with but man...I can tell you one thing. Things sure do have a funny way of fixing itself or getting better even when you least expect it to. Keep your chin up.

In one week I will do it. Seven more days. I think that's enough time for me to figure out if there's any reason to live any longer. Got everything I need to do it. I feel... at peace...
|
1. Are the problems you have permanent or out of your control? 2. Have you talked with all of your friends and family or a therapist? I dont know what you are going through, but whatever it is, is it really THAT bad you feel the need to end your life?? Now just think about what all your friends and family will think once you are gone... they will be blaming themselves forever because they will feel like they are at fault because they didnt help you when you needed it most. Again idk what going through, but think of how many people are going through as worse or worse than you and still tough it out and make it through.

Death can't help you. The world will keep turning. Everyone around you will revile at your end. And so, embrace life, kindness, and activity. You will still die, but the world will turn with you in it.

I'm just having a bad day. It will get better tomorrow/next week/ next month/ next term/ next year. Spoiler alert: It fucking doesn't
|
It really doesn't. And I feel that the older I become, the less likely that things will actually get better. When I was younger and receiving medical help, there was still the general feeling that I'd eventually grow up and things would be sorted out. Having recently summing up the determination to see a shrink again, I get the feeling that nothing much can be done. I even wonder if I actually have depression. If my life is full of shit, am I really supposed to feel anything but misery?

Today is not a good day to be a single self loathing 20 something year old guy. Fuck this shit, I'm done
|
It's not a good day to be in a shitty relationship either. Or even, in a solid relationship you've had for years. Sitting there forcing the love that is long gone trying to feel something you no longer have. Maybe tied down by your children forced into a life you never thought you wanted. Point being the grass is always greener on the other side my friend. But there is suffering and there is happiness everywhere. Who knows what you will get? Maybe what you do have isn't so bad after all.

making friends is the hardest and easiest thing ever depending on if you find the right person. the easiest answer is just do it, go up to someone or send them a message. Worst case: it's awkward. Best case: you'll get a friend

My heart. My heart keeps beating. It beats fast and hard. I feel blood flowing though me. Its too fast. Its irregular. Why does this happen. Im just laying in bed. An insomniac. Is this anxiety. Am i nervous. What is happening. Help me.

Mate, get yourself down to hospital and have an ECG. Make enquiries about this. I had the same thing and wrote it off as anxiety, and it got worse. In my case it wasn't just anxiety. Take the condition of your heart seriously, if you're worried get it checked.

.... Is it ok for feel sorry for my self
|
Life is not what happens to you - it's how you react to it. If you feel sorry for yourself, and most depressed people do, it's because they decide that there is a payoff in doing it. It's showing sympathy for a person, and you're the person, because you aren't getting it from anyone else. It all comes down to what comes after that. You can give up and never try again, or you can take that feeling and extend it into the future: - Imagine feeling this way, and doing nothing about it, for a year. 5 years. 10 years. What has your life become? - Now imagine what your life would be like if you forced yourself to get of bed, brush your teeth, went to the store or coffee shop, talked to someone, helped someone, every day. Now imagine doing that for a year. 5 years. 10 years. NOW what is your life like?

Smallest actions seem like the biggest achievements. Tried a face mask today after a long time. I bought those before a big task I had to pass, which I miserably failed. Just opening the packet and using it today felt, scary. But I did it. Anyone else feel this way with small tasks?

They gave me meds, but now it's harder to cry. I still feel empty inside.. Is it weird that I miss crying...

Meds numb the sadness and make it possible to break the circle. Look at what made you cry. Work with a therapist to fill the emptiness. It's a cance not a punishment.

Ever woke up and thought to yourself: Wow, I am such a sack of shit. That's me. Almost every day.

Replace sack of shit with failure and that's about right. I have no idea how so many people generally do well in their lives, you know - relationships, careers. I often think that it's an inevitability that some people are just meant to fail at everything throughout their lives as a way for the world to create a balance for all the successful, content people out there...an example of yin and yang in practice.

I don't know why you think all that but I've felt the same... I still feel that way, only less. People don't understand that is not possible to give general advices for concrete problems... I hate when they do it. It sound that you only wanted to get what you feel out, that's cool. I want to let you know you are the only one feeling that way. I have a big issue with my physical appeareance, I recently started going to gym to improve my confidence but I have to accept that what I hate the most of myself I won't be able to change it. Many days, I find the energy to keep living thinking that maybe I can help someone that is feeling like me. That really helps me. Many non cannon people achieves a lot of stuff, that makes me feel better many times.

Wish I was never born. Not looking for attention or advice to look on the bright side just hoping to get some perspective on how I feel. And maybe what it means psychologically to feel this way. All of my life I've felt like the black sheep. I never fit in anywhere really. I wish I was never born. I feel like I haven't impacted anyone's life and if I did it was negative or non existent. I should feel like I have a purpose. I have been married 6 years two kids later but even then if I died tomo who would care? How would the world be different. I just spoke to my husband about(hoping to maybe get some comfort in knowing I impacted his life for the better?) this was his exact words were yeah well I see how you could think that that was it. It broke me and felt like it validated my point. This life feels life a prison. It feels worthless and sickening to know no matter where I go it does t really even matter. How many others feel this way????
|
Yeah, I resonate with a lot of what you're saying. It's only on a place like here or a depression support group that you would find others that feel this way. Let me ask you this: what do you find joy or distraction in? Tell me everything you have tried.

I am tired. I want to commit suicide but I just cant. I just cant. I just find it all meaningless. Everything is so meaningless. Help me man. Help me. I beg you. Just help me.
|
I've come to help you. But I can't do much. Encouragement- they're all lies. I can understand how you feel because I am exactly in your shoes. If I kill myself I'm scared that I'll go to hell. So I'm stuck. But I can assure you that you are not alone. And if you want, you just got to hold on.

I'm so tired. I'm so incredibly tired of living. Waking up every day and having to feed myself and take care of myself is so exhausting. I'm just tired of life
|
People just tell you go to bed earlier. They can't fathom how much effort it takes to drag through every dull day.

How to tell if someone is depressed and best ways to help?. What do you guys think are some tell-tale signs that someone's depressed or maybe just feeling down? What are a few things that you guys wish a friend/loved one would do to make you feel better?
|
Ways to help are different for everybody, but calling them up and asking them if they'd be into a pizza and GOT (or something like that) night would help out a lot.

I just cut for the first time. I'm scared about how good it felt. The release was amazing. I just want to keep going. I don't know what else to do
|
Just a small bit of advice: self injury can restrict your life even more, you won't be able to grasp success nor a blade. Simply stay strong, however hard it may be.

Nausea. I am the only one who feel this nausea 24/7??
|
Definitely anxiety related for me. usually okay but had a stressful night a few nights ago and just felt nauseous since. Gets really bad when just laying in bed to the point where I sleep cause I think gonna throw up hoping it passes soon

Has anyone had an unanticipated nervous breakdown before? What were the warning signs?. Or did you realize it was happening from the beginning?
|
Saw mine coming a mile away. Suffering from anxiety and depression, and life circumstances kept becoming more and more difficult. Job was going to shit and stressing me out. Money was becoming a bigger and bigger problem at home. Was getting very little sleep between stress and my son not sleeping at night. One day it became too much. Started crying and having a panic attack. Didn't stop until I drank myself to sleep. The next day I was still struggling to function due to feeling incredibly and persistently overwhelmed. That was three years ago

I don’t consider myself depressed anymore but I still often feel like suicide is the best option. What a shitty world we live in, right?
|
Never give a permanent answer to a temporal problem, that's like burning your house down to kill a spider.

Over a year ago, I was in the ICU for attempted suicide, today I celebrate my 25th birthday.. It doesn't get easy, you just get used to it. Everyday I try to find reasons to not try to kill myself again. ETA: I'm a female, by the way.

happy birthday!!! glad still here

i need to bleed. which area is the most painful yet least dangerous to cut? i can handle physical pain, but i need this emotional anguish to go away.
|
Cutting the topside of my arms hurt and bled but they clotted pretty quickly. Please use a sterile blade if you're going to cut yourself, and don't go any deeper than just the surface skin. Take it from me as someone who has used self-harm, an infection is not the sort of pain that helps with emotional relief! I also recommend other methods, there are plenty out there that can cause some pretty gnarly pain but are far, far safer than cutting. Are there any taps in your house that have overly hot water? Boiling water shouldn't be used as it will scald and is just as prone to infection and other nasties as cutting, so just try clenching a fist under the regular hot water for a few seconds. On the other end of the scale I found the grabing an ice cube and squeezing as tight as I could helped! I thought it would just make my hand feel numb, but it creates a localised, sharp unbearable sensation that works wonders to distract me.

Is anyone happy?. I just want someone to say that they are happy. That life is worth living. I'm having trouble seeing that as a real thing right now.
|
*raises hand* Nope, I'm not happy. Sorry if I was supposed to say something different, but I try to tell the truth. Some of thes I visit make me feel less lonely, because I identify with the people who contribute content there. I often get depressed, and I'm hoping that lurking here at r/depression will help me find new ways to deal with it, by learning from the other people here. That's why I subscribed here today. A lot of people find part of their meaning for life in other people. Maybe that's why communities like this help, I don't know.

I've let so many people into my life.... Why won't any of them let me into theirs?
|
You will find some people who will refuse to leave your side, regardless of what you're going through and regardless of if you both have disagreements or fights. It might take a while, it took me several years, but just keep searching. Be yourself, and the right people will come and they will love you for you. It might take a while, but don't give up hope.

DAE ever go into psychotic laughing fits by your self. Just laying is bed, reflecting on life. Then you start laughing pretty hard because you realize just how fucked it all is.

I have a time or two....it feels good.

Found a job again after more than a year of unemployment. Got a job at an Amazon warehouse. Don't know how to feel about entering my next wageslave job. I'm just so talentless, dumb and stupid that it's not fun anymore. Wish I could escape wageslave hell and be able to get a good paying job :(
|
Look at it this way. You have a job. You have a roof over your head and you have money coming in. It might not be the money that you want, but you have money. sure not talentless or dumb. Are you able to find any jobs that you can train on? I know where based, but in the UK you can train on many jobs and get paid as well. Mainly within the care sector, but those jobs are rewarding and you gain qualifications from it. Maybe an online course where you can work from home? As I said, not sure where based, but sure if you do some research within your area, you could find many opportunities x

I'm so done with life. I'm really tempted to just end it right now
|
Don't do it. If I believe in most things science taught me is that dying would be the ending not only for you now, but for the future you that could have done something good and right. Don't miss the chance of doing something great in the future.

Nobody cares if you're happy or not, they just want you to function.. That's what I realized today.
|
I do function and I functioned my whole life - I have a scholarship for my study program and am one of the best in my semester plus are part of the student representatives and more stuff and having a job. So everyone would agree that I'm working very well - but that doesn't mean that it ever goes way up or that I am close to anything like happiness - or that I ever was. So I can't agree with you. That people expect you to function just puts more pressure on you - it's not helpful.

Does it help?. Does seeking a therapist or eating medicine helps?
|
Therapy: it works if you have a good therapist who helps you understand yourself; why you feel or don't feel certain things, ways you bring certain miseries upon yourself. Also if they are a champion for you. What I mean by that is they empathize with you rather than shoving psycho babble down your throat. They offer real tools for help. Also, you have to put in the work. Therapy doesn't fix anything. Just helps educate you on how to better handle yourself. Meds also work, but sometimes you have to try a few different kinds to find the best fit for you. They don't work overnight either; they can take upwards of 10-14 days in most cases before your brain starts to readjust. For me, I found my original dosage wasn't strong enough after a year or so and had to double up.

I'm to scared to commit suicide.. All I can feel is pain. Nothing matters to me anymore and life is a miserable struggle. I don't want to live anymore but I can't bring my self to commit suicide. I'm scared of missing out on a potentially better life. Please help
|
I probably would have considered bringing harm to myself and others if not for writing. Do you write? I find it helpful to seal away any self-detrimental desires inside characters who are not me. If you purge all of your thoughts out of your head and onto the page, you might find some relief. Literature is one of the most important inventions for resolving issues and you may find purpose through writing for yourself. My life is not pleasant by any means so I created the life that I want in my writing. My life became better through writing. What ideas and notions could be lost if you left us so soon? What adventures could you go on in your own book? Think of all the memories that could be shared. You could even write about a role-model. Mine is Typhon, the Greek dragon under the mountain. I obsess over this mad titan to keep myself calm. He shows up in all of my work. My advice would be to pound that pain out into a character, a mighty simulacrum, an indestructible artifact to contain your every fear. I'm not sure if I'm phrasing this well enough to help, but this is the only way I know how to express myself.

I'm working my way off me meds. I have been on lexapro for 7 years. With the last 3 month refull, I am working me way off of it. Any tips?
|
i suggest consulting a doctor before working your way off it though. doing it without proper planning might actually cause really bad physical side effects, or even increase the risk of developing suicidal thoughts. its not easy man... but i really hope one day manage to be completely off it :-)
| 0.166667 |
I'm depressed. So 3 days before Christmas I found out that I was a mistake. My mother was on birth control and obviously it didn't work because I'm here. I ask myself, Why is my mom such a bitch to me?, I know why now.

I feel yah. I was a mistake too. Just know that you're not alone, and that being a mistake doesn't mean you're worth less than anyone else.
