how to gt over depression?

Once you realise there isn't any point to anything, you can lighten up and start enjoying life. We're all heading towards oblivion. The earth will be swallowed up by the massive red dwarf that was the sun. So, you know, who cares? Get out and let your hair down. Have a drink. Watch some comedy. Get some fresh air and some exercise. Enjoy it while you can. You're a long time dead.

It may sound cheesy or annoying but accepting you have depression can go a long way and taking it as it comes one step at a time.

Try and re-think your perceptions on every day life and talking to a councilor ( not a person in a white coat) is a must ! for a short while just to gain some perspective.

as for friends true ones will stick around and dont sit around to lose weight or get a "real BF" get up and take action write down how u will achieve these goals e.g. weight - excercise plan, diet if you do it well make a sunday your relax day like a reward your mind will re-think this as the normal.

and as for a real bf be more socialble you can meet the future one anywhere e.g. while shopping ect

you have to WANT to change your depression and not wallow in it because it could be a real worry that you have had depression in your life for so long that you worry who you really are without depression because its the normal in your mind.

re-think and overcome.

I've been depressed for a couple of years now, which is unusual for my age, but there we go. I even slit my wrist at one point. Sometimes i am happy for a short time, but then i go right back down. I put on a show for everyone i know, i act happy ad up-beat... But i spend a lot of time crying and wallowing in self pity.

It's because of this, that i spend 75% of my time locked in my bedroom reading endless books and listening to loud music, because i dont want people to see the real me. Call me insecure, but hey.

My advice would be to treasure the happy moments and try to do more stuff like that, I am slowly trying to work my way through mine - hopefully something will come along and help me.

Good luck x

If you know what is depressing you, eg weight problem, sort it out. If you feel depressed but you do not know why. It might be clinical depression. You might not be getting a balanced diet which may be affecting your seretonin levels. Or it may be hormonal. See your doctor and take control of your life. Dont waste anymore precious time, you life can be much happier. And dont forget people will love and value you when YOU love and value yourself.

I've felt low too properly for about the same amount of time actually. The best thing to do is try and go out as much as you can with good company. Being around other people you like on a regular bases can do you the world of good. Good luck.

Find a support system. Maybe join some kind of group with people who have the same interest as you. Do creative stuff to help keep you're mind off all this negative stuff.

you should find something to make you happy.

you don't need to have a boyfriend to be worth something.

you need to love yourself before anyone else can

i guess you have a image problem. you seem to think that your ugly that what comes across to me. and you also have very low self esteem you do need to talk to a therapist to get to your root cause of your problems. believe me you have got to remember your a human being with very good ways and not a freak of nature.

just smoke a lot of weed
