not be depressed
views 11 months ago

I am currently 21 years old and I have been depressed since about age 12. I remember when it first started I would just start thinking about all these abstract concepts such as the existence of god, my purpose in life, ect, ect. I found no answers but my depression was furthered by the fact that I was the only person I knew that felt this way. I began to realize that not everybody is capable of thinking of things the way I do.

As time went on, I felt more and more alone. I came to the conclusion that life is really meaningless. I became incredibly impulsive and viewed my actions as inconsequential. I did not value myself or anything.

Finally, I decided to attempt to take hold of my life. I went to a psychiatrist and went on antidepressants. I try to make smarter decisions and be in control of my own life instead of being ruled by circumstance, outside forces, people and such.

I still think way too much though. I dont know what to do. Its really not helpful in any way. I dont even think about anything productive, just contemplate life, and not in a practical way. I still am somewhat impulsive and do things that are harmful to my happiness, goals and self. I am currently awake because im coming down from using way too much cocaine (bad decision.. i always feel like total shit the next day physically and mentally)

can anyone even relate to this?

Having suffered from depression in my teens I can relate to that to a degree. What helped me was to move away from where I was loving (a real quiet, boring place with too much time to reflect on the negatives). I also focused on my future and made me think about what I could control. I went to university and met my partner and relaxed a little. Really life is too short. You’re young, pretty and by the sounds of it too clever for your own good which causes you to obsess about things. Life’s such a gift. Don’t waste it obsessing. LOL

u sound like my sister, she was like this to calm herself down she writes lists of her life what would happen if she was never born the people shes touched, hated, loved? it calms her down p.s i have a book called the encyclopedia of bitrthdays and this tells you the reasons why the people the way they are pm me with your birthdate e.g july 6 if you wanna know what your like.

depression

i can totally relate! i am 20 and have been suffering from depression since i was around 15. Sometimes my height of depression is so intense that i can no longer take it and contemplate life. I can totally relate to the feeling ..thinking that it’s only me who feels this way and not everyone is capable of thinking like me. i never went to any psychiatrist just cause i think i am capable of handling this situation on my own. Though there are so many depressed moments .. there’re happy moments too. I still don’t understand what to do when i get terribly depressed… and that’s why i am working on writing all the things that i could do when i am depressed. Just don’t die. Keep breathing is all i think. Also don’t do anything stupid. If the depression is way too much just go to theatres and watch a movie or sleep. For me its at a peak for only a day. So as long as the day is gone you will be fine. Just cut the day. Call friends, or relatives, mom, or hit the gym—workout until you drop dead or turn the music loud and clean your house. Distracting yourself is the best strategy. And find something that is important to you and work towards it. For me my career is important (mind u i don’t have one yet). SO i study. When i get depressed i usually STUDY like crazy and if i really don’t feel like then i work out to tire myself out. I hope it helped!! you are not alone. I think everyone out in this world is depressed. Some more depressed than others. And some even more depressed than us. When depressed use your energies that will contribute a positive attribute to your life! GOOD LUCK!!!
