Is your depression linked to an event or your lifestyle? or do you have a good life and just feel numb to it all.

I would talk my friends and family about it, maybe see a specialist, just reach out to someone, most people love to help others.

Life is worth living, it's just a sandbox for us to do what we want in until we die and then... probably nothing but in the mean time just use your life to do what YOU want, dont aim to please anyone but yourself, if literally every single thing in this life makes you miserable and you derive 0 joy from anything then despite my best judgements i would consider dying as well, but i highly doubt this is the case with you.

Nice picture. Source from where they come from?

This is hard. It is not easy or fair. I do not know how old you are nor could I tell your gender. These all play a role. I really hope you are staying on medication and if not working you are alerting your HCP. I also strongly advise Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (thinking about your thinking) to help re route neuro networks and change thinking/behavior patterns (ask HCP to prescribe or look for free CBT support groups - maybe start one?). What are thoughts? Chemicals and electricity. What you are thinking releases neurotransmitters that talk to other parts of brain and get into blood stream to communicate with body and vice versus (body has to communicate with brain right?). So what you are thinking effects everything. Treat exercise (even just walking), sunlight exposure (1500 Lux full spectrum 6-8 hours a day) and laughter (watch Airplane or Holy Grail 50 times) like medication. It must be done daily. And get out and do something, do not stay inside and contemplate navel all day. I have found going to library and getting audio books to listen too. This helps distract so my brain can not wonder back to focusing on how unhappy I am or fixating on past. This help re wire brain as I was not "practicing" depressed thinking. It is like studying for a test or learning a song, you fixate, do over and over, you have wired that neuro network to just fall into that groove (like you do not have to think of the words of a song you have practiced enough, the words just come out without thinking about it) - you have to stop using that pathway so much. Not easy, not instant - but it will work with practice. DO not judge yourself -what every book, activity helps - I know it sounds glib or cliche, but actively distract yourself, go to work, day dream about being Frodo - anything. If you want to hurt self - call hotline or 911. If may not seems like it but the storm will pass, it might or might not come back - but there will be storm free days for you. Best Wishes.

i used to be depressed, starting at about 5th grade and not ending until i was in college. even still, there are some days where i kinda slip back into it, but it's definitely tolerable compared to how it used to be. it used to be so bad that i grabbed a knife out of the drawer and held it to my stomach, just imagining everything that would happen if i just shoved it into my body, and the only thing that kept me from doing it was the fact that my family would've found my body and been scarred, making me even more of a burden on them.

for me, dxm changed it. i'm not sure why, but after i took mucinex a few times to get high rather than to get over a sickness, it shifted from "oh cool let's take two of these and listen to weird music and feel weird in a cool way for hours on end" to a more spiritual thing. it was so gradual that i didn't even really notice it until one day i just stopped and compared how things used to be, how i used to feel, and saw how much things had changed.

of course i'm not gonna say "hey everybody just take dxm if you're depressed, worked for me", but i don't doubt that some drugs can have therapeutic effects if you take them in small doses, and different people have different drugs that'll do that for them

You just have to realize that it's like a debuff that will pass eventually. In this state whatever you think of yourself or about the world around you simply isn't true. Wait it out, just don't kill yourself
