if you got a null pointer exception take some happy pills or something.

When I called the talkwithfriends method I got an out of bounds exception when trying to index into friends[1].

I am an introvert though. I don't know why it works for me, but it does. Getting more active will help your depression too. Just do a bunch of shit to take your mind off of things for a while. But yeah if you want to talk to your friends, you probably should just force yourself to do so.

I know it's like pushing on a tough elastic band to force yourself to do anything with depression, but you just gotta push on it enough to make it break.

I'm pretty sure it isn't actually considered depression until it gets to that point. There is still varying degrees of being depressed, but until it starts affecting you and making every day life difficult it isn't considered a disorder.

Not saying that doesn't make it a problem though. You could probably solve the problem by being with your family and friends before it gets serious.

Awhile back I was seriously depressed for nearly 6 months for various reasons and it was affecting my school life and I really couldn't get any work done. I was really against the idea of actually being depressed and I figured that I could just shake it off or overcome it by being "stronger" emotionally or something. It seems it doesn't really work that way even if you try so I eventually went to the hospital and got diagnosed for it and put on some meds. I never noticed any difference in how I felt on them and they gave annoying side effects so I stopped taking them. Eventually I just talked to my family about it and after awhile I felt a little bit better just getting it out there.

I think you're lonely..not depressed. If you actually think you're depressed, I recommend you to see a professional. I highly doubt there is a doctor on ffr.

[DarknessXoXLight]

Make the decision to be happy. I'm not suggesting this in a sarcastic way either. Do it.

Now a few weeks or months of feeling useless, helpless, completely alone, and overall horrible - that's depression.

A feeling of "eh" is more like a feeling of hopelessness which to me corresponds with depression. But yes, you need to be able to say you had this feeling nonstop for at a minimum of 2 weeks (assuming my memory is accurate) before you could actually begin to diagnose.

No one does. Every person is different and you can't act the same with one person as you do another. People are all their own complex "equation" as I'll word it to figure out.

The idea that ANYONE knows how we as people work is preposterous.

To put simply: She's too quick in claiming that she's depressed. It's irksome.

And middie; I do admit, her typing 'lol' makes it seems less serious, but it could be simply a bad habit. What one types doesn't mean how one actually feels.

It's not that she's trying to self diagnose at all

It's she came HERE of all the places to ask this

No one here really knows who the hell she is I would imagine, so she's going to ask a bunch of strangers about such a personal issue? Are you ****ing kidding me? Typing "lol" makes it seem like this is a ****ing joke to her, you can naturally understand why I said what I did.

I'm not allergic to being nice, I'm just personally insulted she'd had the gall to post that trash.

So yeah, tell that ****er to get the hell out of there, you don't need it, and it's definitely not helping you get anything done.





that's what I would say if I thought you had depression.

If you're just occupying your mind away from it, you're not addressing the problem, so the underlying issue still persists. The longer you neglect it the worse it's going to be. You need to be able to open up and talk to someone about it. While it won't help you directly deal with your emotions, it should at least take away the thought that you're alone in dealing with it.

It doesn't matter how long until you've realized you are in depression, cause depression can be really sudden and yes it sucks because you have to adjust to it unexpectedly fast


Solution: Figure out your main problem, it's good you pointed out the symptoms.

And then go about it from there, you'll find your way out. Good luck!

To start, the threads not about me. But to appease you, to begin, all depression is serious, if you joke about it, you're ****ing trash. Also, you know nothing about me at all, so what ground do you have to say I've never dealt with it personally? Also, yes the length of time of the feelings does matter. In fact a psychiatrist can't diagnose you with having depression without the symptoms lasting over a period of time. (I'm feeling to lazy to grab either of my psych text books to quote a direct time, but if my memory is correct it's a bare minimum of two weeks or more.)

"Happy Pills" aren't a solution, they're another tool to beat around the issue or assist you in coping with your issue until you're at a time where they're no longer needed. Using them like a wheelchair for a fat person who's to lazy to walk is just moronic and worse for you than the condition you're supposed to use them to assist with.

Agreed! But when dealing with it I would suppose (depending on the approach) you may become less introverted in the process. Sometimes exposing yourself like that can actually really help you.

This is pretty much the answer in a nut shell. You need to be able to say "I think I have a problem and I want to deal with it" in this case it's "I constantly feel sad ect all the time, I want to get rid of that feeling and be happy again." Something along that line.

[Reincarnate]

Yes, depression is easily solved by simply realizing you are sad and making the decision to be happy.



































give me a ****ing break lmfao

[leonid]

If you are really depressed then you are pretty much ****ed as in nothing you can do will fix it.
Pills actually help so go see a doc

This.

edit: just ****ing take your mind off it. Ignore it. It's hard to do, I know. I'd rather punch a moving train than try to ignore it, but if you can manage to ignore it for long enough, life usually takes care of the issue and you find yourself without the issue/random shitty feeling(s)

edit3000: yeah I think I understand what leo meant. There's nothing you can do to solve it, there's just ways to bide your time. For me it usually lets up after a while and I don't feel nearly as bad as before. Taking pills doesn't work though, I've tried them and people said I was like a zombie.

'Kay whatever saying anything to you all about it won't get anywhere.

Mods should lock the thread.

[Pseudo Enigma]

yeah, because it was your thread in the first place and you feel the need to reply to every last person in the thread or else. It's not your problem, you stated why you don't like OP, but you're not helping at all. Even if this person is trolling/whoring you shouldn't ****ing say that shit.

[Senri Akane]

Rubix was sarcastic you know...

Learn to keep it to yourself then, no need to present yourself so derogatory where you're the attention whore now.

And you're right, I simply don't agree with you because you're thinking too ****ing hard on such a vague description on her depression. Maybe perhaps it's too personal for her to say? What makes you think she's going to just spill out something personal?

Also, a simple, "lol," just paints bullshit all over the wall huh. Even if she doesn't have the actual disorder, that's still implying that she isn't feeling down at all. Stop trying so hard on being intuitive.

If you can simply "ignore" or "take your mind off" of depression, chances are you are okay. Depression is a disease. It requires medical assistance.

[coral]

depression is a real disorder

get some pills like leonid said

everyone else's post = useless

[j-rodd123]

people who haven't experienced a mental disorder like depression/ panic or anxiety disorder just won't understand so don't waste breath on some of these retards

[hi19hi19]

Depression is a real disorder.

If you're truly worried, GO TO A DOCTOR and get diagnosed.
Depression is not something you can just "decide" to fix overnight, the real disorder is caused by complex series of reasons, such as a fundamental hormonal imbalance.

The possibility is there that this is just someone being an attention whore, but why not take something like this seriously. The chance you could actually save someone's life is worth the chance of being trolled.

[Ohaider]

Person:
"I'm depressed:/ can't seem to be happy, feeling lonely. do any of you have tips?"

Middie:
"No you're not you're full of shit, attention whore."

Lol I'd think it was funny if he was just trolling, but that's his honest state of mind. Pity the absence of social skills.

anyways
Honestly if you feel depressed, see a doctor or psychiatrist. If you're feeling lonely, be open and friendly with people. They like that. Unless you talk to larson haha

[Reincarnate]

Depression isn't something you can merely rationalize your way out of. It's a real, serious mental disorder/disease with all sorts of complex factors fueling it. Even if you go out with a bunch of friends, or talk about your problems, or make more money, or resolve family issues, or accomplish certain goals -- depression can *still* nail you and you may not even fully understand why. Doing things that make you happy can be healthy, but it's only part of the equation.

If you're depressed, see a doctor who can help you get the meds/psychotherapy you need.
