Ask your doctor for appropriate medication. Play games, read books, take a nap; do whatever it takes to make yourself just a little bit more cheerful.

Guilt myself into not committing suicide. Try to imagine what my family would feel to find me dead. Guilt keeps me alive but other than that Im dead.

>>732705988
Are there any movies you're excited to see, like Star Wars, or whatever? Remind yourself that you can't watch it when you're dead.

Figure out what about your life is so depressing and change it. I did it by getting a steady job and eventually finding a girlfriend. It's hard and takes a shitload of effort but it beats wallowing in self pity until you die.

>>732705988
Alcohol and drugs. Fucking antidepressants do not help at all.

>>732707219

Well if you're not going to actually try to participate in your own life, I see no reason as to why you shouldn't just kill yourself.

>>732705988
Hm
You burn it out
You go down because you cant go up and pretending to be stable is worse than death
Going down interesting things happen, you get destroyed but it's your ego that's burning out. Eventually it is a big cleansing. Keep your purity though. And faith. You know, respect for things like love.

>>732706956
Whoops, sorry then. Youre young, havent even had a decade of adulthood under your belt. And the fact youre posting pictures of some chick just says its a simple girl problem. This isnt depression, this is you being overemotional. If youre 35+ this is still going on then you can talk about depression

i want to live until my 30'

>>732707187

Start by identifying why you're depressed. Are you a fat cunt?, are you shit with girl?, etc.

Learn to fix those problems. It's what I did. It isn't easy, but trust me. It's doable.

>>732708305
I can't speak for for op but just because someone is young doesnt mean they cant be depressed. A lot of that shit develops once you hit the later stages of puberty.

Why does being twenty cancel out depression? Honestly? Is there some sort of secret magic sentence that only a twenty year old can say at the beginning of every day that makes him not want to die? Id love to hear about it. Otherwise, i just dont have the drive to listen further. Fuck it.

>>732708440
guilt keeps me from killing myself. I don't want to hurt my parents. I dont want my mom to cry and think it was her fault.

>>732708641
If you wanted to die, you wouldve killed yourself. Youre looking for attention. Like I said, get off your phone and do anything else. You want a sentence? "Im going to prove that faggot who thinks Im an attention seeking bitch wrong." Let me telling you youre being an overemotional child be your motivation. Youre talking arent you?
On a lighter note to maybe give you the cookie cutter advice youre seeking where do you live?

This is true to almost everyone. People are selfish, its a trait that helped us to evolve when we needed to survive. You want people to like you? Go work out, in our society reading a book sounds nice, but at the end of the day we only care about appearances.

Get yourself away from all the stuff that make you feeling depressed. Go travelling by foot across nation or the globe, it's better to be a hitchhiker than to stay put and do nothing about your life when you could.

>>732709605
Not the guy you're responding too, but there's a little more to it. Looks are the major factor, but it also involves where you are in the social circle. Alpha fucks, beta bucks.

My shtic is, I got sick of being a beta, and just became an asshole. I got sick of always being treated like shit by everyone, so I started giving it back 10x. People just don't like hanging out with me anymore, but I'm ok with it. Real people will stick around.

>>732705988
You don't. "Fight" just creates an illusion of struggle, and it's a struggle you won't win, and knowing that makes you feel shittier.

>>732709919
That people are stupid if they not kill themself.

>>732706902
This. Not quite there, but I'm on my way.

I'm one of the most beta people around. The only thing I like about myself is the fact that I actually have a relatively big dick. Like as wide as an iPhone and about 50% longer. How do I become more alpha?

Awesome gf who understands my depression, stable job, my friends could be closer but there's just an emptiness eating away at me.
Been taking meds for two years, I was up and down before taking them but since then I've evened out mood wise.
Now I just don't know.
I wouldn't say I'm happy but I'm not going to off myself anytime soon...maybe one day...

>>732705988
Eating healthy and exercising. I go to the gym Monday through Friday, also work on making small talk with people around the gym. I was in a dark place for a while and this really helped me out. You also have to be willing to try and get better

You seeing a doctor? Have any assets?

Yo just drink a fuck ton of water. I find it hard to be depressed when im concerned about pissing myself also try out juggling. The depressing thoughts cannot get you if you are too focused on something hard like juggling. It made me real good at juggling. Antidepressants do help but only to a point. Theyre like trying to inflate a kiddie pool with the air in a beach ball, theyll get you started but you have to do the rest.

>>732711785
This, but in extreme moderation. Do it too much, and people will take advantage of you.

i woke up one morning and asked myself, "so i've been in a deep depression for the past year (work..sleep..work..sleep. literally only did this for a year) and what has changed?
whats the point?
go into work today and say hello to everyone.
ask how their day was.
BS back into a normalish life again.
it worked.
my old co-worker who i stopped talking to for no reason, said, "where the fuck have you been!"
i've always been a fat fuck.
in that year, i lost about 40 pounds.
just because i never ate.
i would nap between lunch breaks.
go home and go straight to sleep.
i would sleep for 12hrs on a normal day.
days off, i would be sleeping 16 to 18hrs.

Like you know hell bitch im eating a can of dollor tree chilli tonight because i had too pay my rent last week. Im struggling to get by week by week, i work so much my 360 is a dust trap, my only source of internet in my shitty phone, and i can only cook with a microwave because my stove broke.

woah there buddy.
never said i knew hell.
and compared to people in 3rd world countries, you have it good.
i remember visiting my relatives in Mexico.
shower: get a cup and dunk it in a barrel of water. (this was fun during the winter time)
take a shit: grab a roll of toilet paper and go to the outhouse.

they lived out in the middle nowhere.
power would cut out every time it rained.
i haven't been since but the last time i heard, cartel moved in and decdied that my grandparents home was a good place chill at...so they took it over for a year or so.

>>732712590
I am dealing with it. Im not good at it. Sometimes i need to let shit out. I get drastic thoughts and impulses when i bottle things more than i already do.

this guy actually knows what he's talking about.

As my mom told me "Life is hard, and it never gets any easier. It really sucks (llife itself) but You just have to learn to take it day by day and have hope." Hearing my mom say that while crying because i felt living was pointless changed my life.

If you don't set goals(weekly-monthly-yearly) you are living aimlessly I've realized. You're basically just waiting to die. Working towards bettering your situation makes you feel better, even if you only accomplish a little, you're progressing and that makes life worth living. The issue is not giving up mentally and thus hindering yourself to 100% give it your all to change.

>>732705988

If you can get over it in a few months it is hardly real depression at all. Try years instead of weeks or months.

this, and also why ive been making fun of OP and others for saying that young people probably arent really depressed. depression is more then "Omg my life sux because nobody is retweeting my deep thoughts". they are some young people who may genuinely need help, but just because you watch 13 reasons and you empathize with the main character doesnt mean you have a legitimate clinical problem

i'll always remember what george carlin said.
"life isn't that hard, you wake up, go to work, come home, take one good shit and go to sleep"

its true.
life isn't that hard.
humans are social animals.
we need human interaction.
thats about it.
get some social interaction.
get a job.
your life will easily become 6/10.

>>732705988
At this point, literally drugs and booze. I live alone which is what I prefered because I had asshole roomates in the past. I do play video games to distract me from it and I work a lot, but it settles in the most when the day dies and I need something to ease from heavy thoughts. I did antidepressents before but I have no health insurance now (and for good reason)

>>732715555
I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

>>732716308
yeah but I thought purgatory was a state of being repaired before entering heaven

Life itself could be purgatory for strengthening your soul before experience eternal life

>>732716348
Pretty much.

Lets also mention that the roomates I had were people I friends with for 5 years or over which are now destroyed.

>>732716669
i guess you are right.
i always thought purgatory was a waiting room for either hell or heaven where you just wait for almost an eternity.

>>732705988
Remember the better times of my life and hope that I will return to them. Also, it helps to keep myself distracted with other things, like language-learning and programming.
