Sui Generis Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 I'm sure there is one thread about this. Prolly more. Is there anything that helps you in depression? Lately I've been sinking into depression more and more, even to the point where I tried to kill myself earlier today. I can't control it and sometimes wish it would end. What can I do to get rid of this? I've tried everything, but everything I do just seems to make everything worse..... Theres been a lot going on lately in my life. ANd I haven't been able to handel it too well. Is there anything you guys know that helps you get off of depression, so that you can concentrate on your own life? Not your misery in your life.

Deedlit Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 [color=009966]I'm sorry to hear that, Bry. :( I haven't been seriously depressed like that, so I doubt that any of my advice will be of any use, but just think happy thoughts. And remember there's always us here on OB that can help you.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 Well I'd say the first thing to do would be to go speak to a doctor. I realize that's hard to do, but obviously everything you've tried so far hasn't worked. It's at least worth a try, and a doctor should be able to refer you to someone or something that would help.

[/B][/QUOTE] Yea, go see a doctor (the psychological kind). Something similar happened to me 4 years ago -though not quite a extreme- and I went to see a psychologist. He actually helped me out and today I'm a pretty happy guy. Also, trust me when I say that anti-depressants really do work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*madEE* Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 I'm sorry to hear about this but the best thing you can do is probably talk to someone you really trust, like a friend or family. If not then go to a doctor that you can confide in, and ask if there are any drugs availuable that they could prescribe like Paxil or someone they could let you talk it through with. Not everyone can control this, and sometimes its best to let others know to help you through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 [color=blue]It's really sad to hear that. Like everyone else said, talk to a doctor or someone you know about it. They can help you. And just remember, you've always got us here at OB :).[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Morph Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 ...I know how you feel dude... I was depressed before, o_O wasn't the best time of my life. But I was also currently going to a psychiatrist[sp?] at the time for other reasons which I won't disclosed.... ;) Well, he kind of helped, I tried to slit my wrist... o_O I couldn't, it hurt too much -_-;.... I just dealt with it, because at the time my parents grounded me because I didn't care about anything and I just was always in my room or something, away from my family... They were the main cause of it, I seriously don't enjoy living with my family... I tried running away but my mom caught me... I was like 8 years old... Haven't tried since, thats why I did everything that my parents hated. o_O Plus because I like it... Just don't kill yourself, o_O Its not worth it.... Seriously dude, I wouldn't do it and I should of already... But I didn't cause its stupid. I mean BESIDES the ATTEMPT of wrist slitting[which failed]. Just think of the problems that you would stirr up if you killed yourself, imagine all of the people that would go into depression because they cared for you, like your family or a dear friend. Or even your girlfriend[if you have one.] So just don't, bottom line. Don't go to some doctor dude, they don't help much and they are a hell load of money. I'm not going anymore, I made my mom stop :D Just deal with it... It'll get better even if it takes a few months.... Just don't do something stupid and kill yourself.... Find something that you can do that takes you away from the problem. Thats an easy solution.... But I don't know the circumstances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
::Ex-Soldier:: Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 Yeah man. Don't kill yourself over anything. Taking your life or anyone else isn't worth anything in the world. Depression...can you imagine not living anymore? You'd never see your family, and friends. You'll never be able to do the things you like, and you just won't exist. Thats lame that you're in such a depression, but just give it some time. If you can't fix something, let time fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoseofDawn Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 A quick quote- "suicide-a permanent solution to a temporary problem." While not in the extreme context, I know that life can go throug hrough spots seemingly forever, however there are always lives that you affect and will have an effet on no matter what action you take. True, talking to a loved one or family might help, however know that otakuboards will always be here for you, since it is often easier to talk to somenone you cant put a face to. Unfortunately, there is no miracle to ending this problem that plauges many of society, but know that you are never alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 Is it me or are more and more people on OtakuBoards starting to post depression and suicide threads this is rather alarming... As for you Lalaith Ril, suicide is never the solution to any problem no matter how great it may be. I suggest you definitely break out of this bad depression by maybe getting a new hobby or talking to someone wether it be a loved on or trained professional your situation sounds like it would be best if you talked to someone. Please though don't do something foolishly that you may regret. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alley Catt Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 Remember one thing, you are so not alone. You wouldn?t believe how many people I know with depression and other problems like that. Since you are at the stage of suicide, you gotta see a doc and get medication. Trust me they work, you can always tell when my sister is off them. When you get the medication, don?t stop until the doctor / councillor tells you. You may feel weird about taking medication to be happy but it will save you allot of problems. It will also help your family who are probably worried over how they can help you get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilac oranges Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 if theres alot going on in your life take a step back from it! (if you can and talk to somebody about it) another way to cheer yourself up is to put cheery things around you even if there just small things like wearing a bright shirt or writing with a purple pen for a day or sign up to a joke sight and get them to send you jokes every day. sometimes to get over depression you just have to start with the small things and work your way up :) !

Mitch Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 [color=red] Same with me. It seems everyday a hammer slowly beats at my skin, slowly drawing away my will and life. The only ways I've found a slow and slight escape is from writing. That is all I do usually when I'm pained. Just do anything with which to expell your feelings. Write a poem, or multiple poems, such as I have, or have a talk with someone. And mainly, be optimistic. Although I've lost optimism a few times these days, I quickly come back to it, and we quickly become reknowing of one another.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genkai Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 Hmm... You dont know what's wrong? You seem OK on IM.. I'm really worried.. i mean, you're a really great person. Your smart courteous, and individual. I would love to be you. Why try to kill yourself? Don't let the bad things in life kill you, because life is like a wheel. It's a cycle. For every good thing there's a bad, and vice versa, and soetimes all the bad things happen at once.. but things will go up agani.. Yeah RH, I;ve been noticing this too.. More and more depression threads.... Maybe I'm a bad luck charm, it's been happening more and more since I came, LOL. Anyway I hope the whole community isnt in for one big mass suicide..

Guest Morph Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 Well most of the time when I feel like I should, I listen to music... REALLY loud music, and I just go insane...

[/B][/QUOTE] funny, i tried to kill myself earlier today but i ran out of tylenol. i know 14 isn't enough, when i have a headache i take 10. i'm depressed right now too, but i blame it all on a certain guy. when i'm usually depressed, i try not to stay home alone, i try to go out with friends or i talk to my cousin olivia, most people that i know are *very* entertaining and everything they do is funny. i bake cookies sometimes when nothing else works. sometimes i force myself to cry because i realize when i'm crying that it's not worth my time to worry about such stupid things and that nothing is really worth it. nothing is worth killing yourself over, if you feel really bad or something you should take revenge or something... no, wait, that's bad advice, isn't it? oh well, i don't know... i would tell you something i always tell my friends but i don't want to hear about another attention-starved/mentally-incompetent teen and their school on the news. if life were so bad, we all would be dead okay? but there's still idiots around here living and i'll be d@mned if the world is taken over by their ancestors... :drunk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] O_o well it certainly seems that way I was thinking on starting a help line for depressed people on OB this constant chain of suicide and depression threads is starting to quite frankly disturb me, especially since most of you guys here are much younger then myself and shouldn't have such adult troubles that I've been hearing of for the past couple of days. Very alarming indeed, I'm sort of depressed today myself, I got into a fight with a friend that I consider the world to me, but I'm not going to take it as negatively as others...^_^ are with their problems. They say the greatest destructive power is negative energy so lets not feed are negative energies into our own destruction. I hope that makes sense to some of you guys or I just made a total fool out of myself. :blush: btw-off topic a bit many thanks for the honorable meantioning of me in your sig genkai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan L Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 mhmmm.. it seems almost as though there's a depression bug going round OB at the moment.. I don't generally get depressed very often. I can get really freaked out -borderline paranoid but not quite on the "[i]they[/i] are watching" level- but that's not quite the same thing. All I can really say is I tend to handle depression pretty well, so it's just never been a problem for me. By far, the things you know most about are those things you've had to struggle to come to terms with. Ultimately, these days, when I start feeling depressed, I just.. handle it, somehow.. Usually depression is accompanied by the feeling that you just aren't worth this life that you've been given.. I remember a peice of advice I once gave to someone on these boards.. about 3 weeks ago now.. "Whenever the thoughts that you aren't worth it come into your head, just discard them. Reject them in the same way that you would reject bad food that would make you ill, because ultimately, it's going to do a similar thing to you". That's the only advice I can really give.. I just happen to be able to do that really well.. Of course.. that doesn't necessarily work for everyone.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playababygurl79 Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 ok, like alot of other people say, go see a doc...some people won't, like me for instance, because i used to be pretty depressed, but I surrounded myself with a lot of people that cared about me and kept myself busy, it helps because if ur doing something better you don't think about it. My friend has said that anti-depressants DO work, she takes them now and she used to try to kill herself all the time, now she's a pretty happy person...and life is getting better. There will be better days! i promise! Hope everything works out and you start being happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
