Have you guys ever been deperessed?
Hey guys. So for the past 7 years of my life (19 atm), I have been dealing with Depression and OCD. My OCD consisted of unwanted thoughts that ran through my head. When I thought these thoughts, I had to think of something positive or I could not continue my day. If the clock striked 12 am and I thought of a something negative, that day would have to consist of nothingness. It's hard to explain. However, I have now reached the point in my life where I don't want to worry about these thoughts. I can't. I have learned to accept that nothing in this world is perfect and that I should just learn to live with negative things around me. Life has it's positive aspects and it's negative aspects. I am finally glad I learned to be happy because no day should be wasted on these thoughts. I am a human and I make mistakes. You are probably confused, but I really wanted to share how I feel right now. I feel free.

Sometimes I wonder how people will react if I commit suicide just so I can enjoy their hypothetical regrets and self-loathing for not doing more.
I'm bitter like that.
I don't know about deprresion but I know that I'm slowly dying of loneliness. Doing things alone is so painful. It makes life seem so pointless and makes me feel dead inside.
Well, every now and then I have mood swings. Like, really depressing ones. But that's about it.
busy yourself it really helps
I'm depressed cuz I'm not surrounding by beautiful women that want me while having the "time of my life".
I have ocd and am on meds for it. They really help with the depression and anxiety aspect and for the first time in my life, I'm able to feel stable and not obsess with thoughts that don't matter. If you're not already on something, I'd highly recommend talking to a qualified doctor or psychiatrist asap
moeny makes my sadness go away
I deal with random fits of depression,it comes and goes.My mood swings every now and then,it all passes.
it comes every now and then
I've been depressed for about a month now. still going
Been depressed since I was 9, currently 23, there is no cure for it besides yourself.
I've just gotten used to it, smile and laugh so i don't bring others down. ^^
Though sometimes I can't hide it, and that's when things get bad. ^^
Tried everything from Drinking tons of alcohol to attempted suicide, nothing helps, just makes things worse.
SO THIS IS WHAT YOU DO!
Find something that interests you, invest yourself in that.
When you start thinking bad things, immediately stop yourself, personally I go for a run or work out, or draw and sing.
ALSO! When you're mad at something or someone, tell them, don't keep that shxt inside you, it'll just make you resent that person.
And finally, you said you've finally learned to become happy, good, I'm proud of you! ^^
At least one of us can make it out of these damn chains.
I have OCD. I wish I didn't. I have to check if all my important things are safe and with me over and over again. For instance, I need to know I put my cell phone back in my purse so I check it and it's there. Then 5 seconds later, I have to check it again even though I know I already checked it and I tell myself "you know your cell phone is in there! don't check it again" but then I check it again because the thought of my cellphone not being there bothers me so much so I need to check it to calm me down. I end up checking things like 3-5 times in a short period of time. It sucks when I'm driving and I need to check again and I swear I might kill myself one day while driving just because I need to check multiple times. </3
On the plus side, I never lose important stuff ever.
gratz on learning to accept. it will be an important tool for later. gratz op
i was/am depressed i guess. my peak was when i was 14-16. was gonna off myself but didnt. found out a lot of things i would have rather not knwon, no one was there, had to cope alone, was blamed for alot, it got to me. it moulded how my personality is today though. i still get really sad from time to time and just break out into tears when alone every once in awhile. (im 20 now).
how i cope now. im really ego driven/ competitve now.
i picked up weight lifting/ power lifting. the pent up anger really helped for power lifts and the ego helps with how i take care of body. happiness is a choice not a destination, we choose to be happy
Thats awesome congrats!
