I am depressed often. I smile. hold my chin up. And take the pain. I make others smile. But I have basically given up about being happy. I have tired to be happy. But I just can't seem to be happy about things anymore. :|

Ha I thought for a moment a mirror was held up to me when I read your post.
Love yourself and you will be happy. And remember others love you
Love

I do cry all the time. I always post on here and my posts often seem like I am happy but I start to cry sometimes. I am happy when others are. But I can never seem to make everyone to realize that behind this screen is a human not a robot.Quote:

I show my emotions, but not in a conventional way. I let anger out by playing violent games. I make myself happy by going on here(and reading the poem chi wrote me. Sadness is not an easy one to let out, but i convert it all into anger. Thataway, im not depressed. But as a side effect, i am angry. A lot.

I was suicidal for 8 years, I tried to kill myself twice, I was on suicide watch for a grand total of a month and a half. I hated my life. Things really do get better as you grow up, for me it changed at nineteen, though I wasn't fully over my depression till this year. It didn't change because of anyone, you don't find happiness in other people. I had a girlfriend who is now my best friend even though we broke up she helped me, but shes not what made me happy.
Only you can change your perspective. You have to do stuff for yourself. You have to do what makes you happy I don't care what it is, and you also have to change your perspective. Its a fight, its tough and it takes time but you CAN do it. For me I started writing more, I started playing guitar, and yes I played violent video games and took out my anger and frustration with headshots. In this way I planted the seeds but I didn't become happy until I changed my perspective. I woke up and told myself I was going to work on being happier. Things still got to me but I was aware they were and I fought against them. A huge part about it was learning what I needed to make myself feel worth something as well. You can fight the negative feelings but you need to also plant seeds in your mind by feeling like you are WORTH living yourself.
For me I lost a lot of weight. I am still fat and I am still working on it but I started working out. I joined the Army. I started completeing stories. I woke up and told myself what I wanted to get done and I did, cleaning my room, running a lap at the track, whatever it was. In the past I never did those things I wanted to but my depression wouldn't allow me too. I fought through it to complete those things to feel worth it.
This is how you fight depression and this is how you win. A huge part is seeing a councilor but I couldn't afford one, and so I fought it myself. No councilling, just with support from my best friend Jessica and James and with a level of dedication. Things will get better, you just have to fight through the darkest days, and I know that you know that I know that you have people who REALLY care about you and LOVE you, let those people HELP you.
My girlfriend broke up with me, shes still my best friend and my biggest support system, without her HELP I would still be depressed and suicidal, but she didn't do it for me, you have to want to fight it to win the battle and the war.
I want to fight. And I do everyday. I just never seem to win.
If your fighting it your already winning
Really?
Its always good to have a hobby.
Something you think is fun to do, like when you do it, time just flies by.
There are tons of things you could do, take up drawing, play games, join a club at school, post all day on the forums, etc.
And sometimes, people ask you to do things, but its okay to say no, and it won't be a big deal, they won't not be happy just because you said no, they were just asking. So if you're not cool with doing something, its okay to say no :)
But anyway, there are tons of people to talk to on the forums here! Thats why the personal support section is here :) And you can always get to know people better, and make some good friends on here. Skype with them, or whatever the kids are doing these days.
I have kind of done all of that. :> I makes banners a lot. Draw often. Talk to people alot. Post here when everyone is not here :P And I just can't seem to get interested in much more.Quote:
