Depression

[Mental Panda]

I am unsure of where to put this.

Depression has taken over my body. Love is nothing to me now. Just a myth. Everything around me now looks fake. I feel that if I touch anything, it'll just wither away. I never knew one could feel like this. What do you do? I don't feel important. I don't feel like I matter. But I am not suicidal. I still have family, right? No friends. No lover. Just family. And now I welcome depression with open arms. Envelop me with arms of warm security. Enter my soul and bind me with your unhappy feeling and lonliness. I am your slave. Do with me as you wish. Treat me as your ragdoll. I am yours oh great depression.

Depression is an odd thing, but there's really no advice that I could give you. The truth is, everyone deals with it differently. You just have to get to the root of your depression and change your life accordingly. The more you openly accept it, the worse off you'll be. It may feel like the easiest way to deal with it, but you have to realize that no problems can be solved simply by ignoring them.

we can live without a lover. some can live happily without friends. everyone can do without any of these for a little while - learn to enjoy your own company and choose your own worth for yourself.


not everyone likes me. some people think im some loud-mouthed weirdo. but thats ok, theyre entitled to their opinion. i know that i have good qualities too, so im alright and i can sit back and smile and not feel bad about it.


depression sucks. but often people wrongly refer to a bad mood as depression... all i can say is, if it lasts, and it gets in the way of everyday life (ie you sleep too much or cant eat, cant motivate yourself to do so much as even get dressed...) then go see your doctor or a counselling service.

i got referred to a counsellor through one of my college teachers earlier this year and its one of the only good things to happen to me this year. ive had the worst luck for a long time, but seeing her once a week helped me through it. i feel a lot better now, but im still seeing her because she helps me along

I am suffering from Depression as well, but it is for a different reason. All that I can tell you is to seek help. It may not be to the same degree as what I suffer from ((Postpartum)), but it is always a good idea to find and accept help wherever it comes from.

Have you talked to your family at all about this? Have you tried to seek any sort of help?

As far as the lover. Well, we can live without someone else in our lives, as hard as that might be. You will most likely find someone though. I will not say that you will because, well, not everyone does find their match, but you probably will. The chances of you finding your match is better then the chances that you don't.

I think you all for the replies but I am not depressed. I was having a bad day and I was just sad for some reason. Thats what I get from being an Earth elemental.

Ah, strong attachments. I see. Honestly? I pretty much knew the situation. Most depressed people won't randomly bring it up, at least in my experience. ^^;
