Depression Thread

No, not really. There are some comics that mention or involve depression that some people may find relatable, but that's not going to do jack shit for someone who's currently depressed.

Your friend might appreciate the effort, but not right now. They're not feeling a lot right now, and that's due to a chemical imbalance inside their body that nothing external can change. They need meds or an anti-SAD lamp, and probably therapy, at least to determine whether they need meds and help monitor them through the transition.

Here's an experience that is sure to brighten up her day: blowing her brains out with a gun. Fuck you and fuck her for not sucking it up. I've been depressed for nearly two decades, get over it you fucking wimps.

I used to read Catcher in the Rye every day. If your friend wants to be "That Guy" then give them a copy of Catcher in the Rye.

Otherwise, I don't know. I tend to try to depress myself more when depressed, so give them Chris Ware I guess.

what happened to allie brosh?
last I heard, she was releasing a new book

Play EDF 4.1. Seeing humanity come together to fight giant insects, robots, and kaiju while singing about crushing alien threats will cheer you up and make you ready to fight for a great cause once the ravager scum do invade in real life.

I'll give you a taste. It is normal for a parent to have aspirations for their child. My mother's single most hope right now is for me to go outside with friends and call her on my phone. Yet, I cannot even do that. I have been pushed towards the abyss to such an extent that my own mother wishes I was a normal human being, but I continue to disappoint her every day. I have no friends, haven't had any for 7 years. Mining coal with my foreskin is more appealing than going outside for an errand. My mother wishes her boy was normal, but she is sadly mistaken; I've never been normal, and nothing in this world or next will serve as an instrument of justifying my mother giving birth to me. I look forward towards the bottom of the barrel.

>>93413474
I was born with it, so I wouldn't really know.

>>93419996
>It is normal for a parent to have aspirations for their child.
Pfft my mom gave up on her aspirations of me when I was like 10.

>>93419967
I read somewhere that her sister died and her depression took a turn for the worse.

>>93413474
Alright, now this is my kinda thread!

Because I feel like I'm no good at anything

>>93419996
>MOM'S GONNA FREAK

>>93420347
Yeah, you're terrible at not being good at anything.

>>93420396
Nope, there's not even any point in me trying to be terrible at that either

>>93419996
>anon thinks he's hardcore just because he doesn't go outside
>thinks that's the bottom of the barrel
>thinks that's as low as you can go

Personally for me the low was dressing up as a girl in my my NEET bf's basement since my parents kicked me out of my house when I was 20 and camwhoring myself eating shit and vomiting it up again for weed money five years ago.
But hey. I can see you know best.

Pity Olympics in these comments.

>Not going outside or having friends is
Faggot you have minor depression at best. Rock fucking bottom is shooting up heroin in an alleyway and hoping you don't wake up this time as you let the rats nibble on your fingertips. It's pulling out a bottle of bleach and tilting your head back but pulling away and being mad at your instincts for wanting you to keep living so you stand there hoping you can overcome the instinct some day and stare at the bottle for hours. It's lying in bed for days without showering or doing anything but staring up at the ceiling and feeling like drinking the water that keeps you alive is a chore while praying that you just waste away in your sleep one night. It's drinking and drinking and drinking until you're lying in a puddle of your own vomit and piss and hoping that you choke on it. That's rock fucking bottom.

Depression cant be cured. I used to have a friend that had depression too, I felt useless and guilty because I couldn't do anything to help him. But I realized that they decide what to do with their life, if they want to fight, they will. It takes time, but they will in the end. All you can do is hug your friend and let them know you'll be there, I think it would make them feel a little better. Not happy or cured, but better. I think its more like an internal fight they have, but you gotta be on their side. I know being sad its not the same as being depressed, but at least, some good old cartoons make me feel better, they can make you laugh and feel like a child again. I dont know what else can help, Im sorry.

>>93416467
Sounds like you are just doing this for attention. Get over yourself

>>93413474
When you're depressed comics don't do diddly.
Force her to go to the gym, or simply outside.
Anything that will get the blood moving.

This. Depression isn't necessarily something you cure but rather something you learn to cope with better overtime depending on how much you help yourself.

I'm actually becoming more depressed than you are just by thinking about how fucking bad you are at this

>>93413474
Neil Gaiman's Sandman is about depression. And it's a nice story, to boot.

>i have no friends boohoo :(
>bottom of the barrel

if anything the thing you should be depressed about is how bad you are at being depressed
