I'm in a slump right now. I have been depressed this whole semester, but sometimes things get worse, then better, and is just a shitty rollercoaster. Since I've broken my left hand, I can't do the one thing that has helped me out, playing guitar. Things are hard right now, so I talk to my best friend, this girl I just connect with, but she can either make my mood better, or destroy it, so I just can't wait to get my hand back, so I can be happy again. overall, I've cried a couple times since I broke my hand, but only to my best friend. I don't let others see it because they ask questions and bring back up my problems. anyway, just hang in man. |

Personnaly, I'm having one of the better years of my life. I'm climbing the ranks in college (no longer a noob freshman) hitting the gym again, and I'm even starting to hang with some seniors. But I know exactly what you are talking about night, I've been there. Back when I was moving from middleschool to highschool was a tough time for me, it seemed like nothing would work out. One little thing just snowballed into a big problem, until I had an avalanche of grief waiting for me. I didn't get along with my parents at all, I had no car, so i couldn't get to my job, which in turn meant I couldn't make money to buy a car. I had a few ways of dealing with this (mostly breaking stuff, or lighting things on fire). One thing I did when I just couldn't take being at home anymore would be to just go for a bike ride. Just keep peddling to places that only I knew how to get to, and staying there until night came. soempeople turn to videogames to escape their worldly problems. This is wrong because any drug addict will tell you the same thing. That's a classic addiction right there. Videogames are just games, not escapes from reality. If you ignore the problems you have in reality, they only get bigger. The sooner you realize that the only way to make your problems go away is to confront them, the sooner you can get rid of them and be a happier person. |

This may sound stupid but this is what i used to do, around early of last year to sometimes now when i get down for no reasons. Lose yourself, i just erased like 4 paragraphs about how i lose myself but the more i think about it, I just think i'm crazy for doing it. Do it either physically, (get lost in the woods, like me, <-- see crazy rite?) or mentally through meditation. My personal philosophy of happiness is "fuck it." You break your leg? Fuck it, at least it wasn't your penis. One of those rich "popular" bitches won't leave you the fuck alone? Fuck it, when she loses her looks she'll be stuck with some poor ass anyways. My personal favorite, people keep calling you "freak, nerd, terrorist?" Fuck it, we'll rule the world anyways. The other method which you might prefer is to buy a set of logitech z5500 speakers and get into trance. You crank those suckers up until the bass hurts your heart and just close your eyes. By the time you open them again, 8 hours just passed by and you're still listening to the same track ^_^' Like homesickness, cabin fever, etc the major key to that is that you have time to actually think about it. Eliminate the time you have to think about depression and keep yourself busy. Take me for example, 6:00-15:00 school, 15:00-18:00 cs, 18:00-6:00 space out to techno. Btw, you might want to get yourself a gas/face mask if your house still has asbestice ceilings....they tend to fall all over you when the 5500's are at full volume. But don't feel too down night, all of us in FT love you <3. Come to cha cha's house if you lose all hope, we can go deaf and have heart problems together |

maing, everyones got different problems and they are all unique. What I do when I get pissed off is sleep. That seems to solve a lot of problems. I hear crying is good, but I don't. Ill go to my gf and rest on her, or sleep. Too stressed to get hard, so that's out of the question. Just find someone close to turn to for comfort. | ||

I'd rest on my gf IF I HAD ONE! It's tougher then everyone thinks and taking the advice of others doesn't work. Sometimes listening to music like death metal or something where they scream like crazy helps me get alot of anger and frustration out. When I broke up with my last girlfriend I punched alot of shit, until they all broke. If you punch something and it doesn't break you have to punch it again. It's not satisfying unless it breaks. I'd go out and buy some new speakers if: 1. My parents wouldn't bitch about loud bass. You're forgetting I still do live with my parents. 2. I'm poor, have no job at the moment, and my parents can't afford anything for me. I can't even go out to dinner at all this week because I have no money. 3. If it's rap, it pisses me off because I can't relate to the lyrics at all. Usually when I'm pissed off I eat, but when I'm pissed off, I'm not depressed. Although you may think there is no difference between depression and anger, I think there is a boundary between them. Anger is more of a denial thing and you ask questions and bang your fists. Depression is a deepening sadness in which you believe the questions that you asked were answered for you basically, and there is no way out. I'm still looking for an answer basically. Believe me Cha, I'd go to alot of people's houses on here if I lived close to you or had my license. You may think it's creepy but I feel like I've found people on here I can relate to, which is part of the reason I still play CSS and I'm still here. I'm not in it just to be in a clan, I'm in it for you guys. Twitch, I apologize to you if I've came across as pissy to you lately. I have no control over my feelings anymore, and I pretty much gave up on life. I'm messemistic when it comes to any pain dealt on me physically, I just don't feel it anymore. I sleep in school, I have no care or interest in really what my family or anyone else has to say. I've thought of brutal ways to kill myself, which I thought were pretty cool, but you know, it's kinda creepy. Don't worry, I'm not going to be like a crazy little Korean boy that goes gun ho on everyone, if any damage is to be inflicted, it will be on myself. I care about others more than myself and I'd rather me die then everyone else, because well, they have a better future then I have. I mean come on, who thinks it would be cool to move in their friends basement after they get kicked out of their house? Yup, me right here. I'm pretty sure I already have heart problems from my anger problems and high blood pressure that results from it. I fight with my parents, I made my mom cry a couple of times the past week, and I have no control on what I say to them. I guess I'm pretty much screwed. I guess today might be a pretty good day though. I'm going running which makes me feel better usually when I'm done, and then I'm going to see Spider Man 3 tonight on release date. I don't know, maybe after I turn 18, something good will happen to me and things will be different. All I can do is wait. |

At first you know I was going to maybe try to give some advice here but I realized that everything is different for everybody and so everybody has to figure out what works for them. Like people have said running works for some, listening to music helps others, filling your day with stuff so you can't think about it works for others, and as the fake jesus said you can just be with your gf assuming you have one. And for what twitch said about anger management it doesn't always work...i was forced to go and it just didn't work for me so of course i stopped going but i found that i have mellowed somewhat with age. Idk I just hope that everybody can get out of these rough spots in their lives and enjoy the time that they have on this planet because it really is short. |

Depression FTL! Lighten up, nothing else you can do really to make yourself feel better (unless you're a wacko and start killing people, drugs don't help either). I know you've tried to, but keep trying. And (of course) don't take your anger on someone else. I feel really bad for you (and I guess you don't want that) and hope that you don't end up taking your own life, that's just the coward's way out. <3 I can't relate to you at all though since my life hasn't been too bad to me (at least not yet), but I'm trying to give you some good advice (even though most of it is common sense...  )

At first we were just throwing ideas out because Night felt like he was cornered into a wall running out of ideas. but I agree. Its just about waiting it out and finding what helps you... You said that after you went to that youth group that helped a little but the shadows came back. Maybe you should spend some time and find yourself spiritually? I know for myself im still not loyal to any religion, but I have debated my beliefs and finding out most of that stuff really helps find out the kindof person you are. And when you realize the kindof person you are, being depressed starts melting away from your vision. Something I take as serious as Spirituality, TRAVELLING. Like Cha said, on a small scale, he just likes getting lost in the forest, etc. But travelling seriously helps with some people. I know money is an issue, but there are many ways to get financial aid and fundraisers to get into travelling. Idk, like ive said, just throwing more ideas out there for you buddy :/ Idk. Night, if you need someone to talk to, I cant make your problems go away, but I can definitely be there for a friend. And I can tell that as a discussion you arent fully getting the opions you wanted(people flaming you, etc )hit me up on AIM or Xfire. almost always on both, If you need to talk |
