Good post, I struggle with depression and anxiety at times and so do several other getbiggers.
My friends father killed himself a couple years ago due to depression. Very sad. Sometimes people just need someone to talk to.

I agree. Sorry for your friend. I know a few people that suffer from depression.

For sure. Less than a handful of people know I have these problems. I would never take medicine for it tho, just my personal choice. It's messed up that side effects for some of these meds are suicide.

Depession = no love, being alone
Depression = feeling alone all the time although there are people around u
Depression = unique thoughts u cant share
Depression = not blindfooled by the system and markets bullshit
Depression = creative thoughts abov and beyond the average joe
Depression = not being able to handle the situation, thoughts and feelings
Depression = And so much more...
Depression = Taking stupid pills for a quick fix and then ignore the real reasons who cause it. It will hunt you back no matter how many pills u take! U gotta deal with the thuoughts, situation, enironment, comunication inside outside your body. Kack up your as whereever u are. u gotta learn to deal with that cack up your ass!
Seek for help, youtube, artist, writers, books, filosophers and u will not feel that alone anymore. Suffer togheter!

Reaching out and talking to depressed people isn't as easy as it sounds, because in most cases you don't even know they are depressed to begin with, as they mask their depression when they are in public. One thing I have seen that is rather common is withdrawal. Had a couple friends go through bouts of depression not too long ago. Both had deleted their Facebook accounts, which should have been a clue, but at the time I didn't think much about it. was only later that I learned they did that because they were depressed and that was part of the withdrawal process.

People with depression don't talk about it. ::)

Sorry for your loss Blinky!
How are you feeling?

My dad, my aunt, my grandma and two of her brother committed suicide. I believe they may have all suffered from a fork of bipolar disorder. I was lucky not to inherit any of this and I thank the lord everyday I did not.

interesting opinion about facebook. i would argue that deleting social media bullshit is a step to rid oneself of depression. when you are no longer controlled by the compulsive "must show people what im doing for social value/validation", its actually quite liberating. a well rounded adult should not be wasting time with facebook, wasting countless hours watching what other people are supposedly doing. honestly not posting on GB either lol, but i havnt mastered that yet. I actually know of people who were showing signs of depression and their daily mood being affected by how many likes or whatever they would get on FB for something they would post. they deletd it, but have since came back to it, and the cycle continues.
-
You are correct, it should be talked about more. There shouldn't be a stigma around people suffering like that.

this story is so sad, i am depressed now
-
anytime i see a man in tears or suffering from some non-life threatening stuff(peolpe close dying excluded) it reminds me to never become that person, a man must know how to cope with problems and be a safety net for others not the other way around. This is your job guys, don't fuck it up! Be strong, read books, watch videos ... Julio Caesar put it nicely

I think a significant part of depression is the use of alcohol and rec drugs and people not handling coming off them or the body not recovering properly from them.

If FB is about interacting with people you already know, then fine. Also, I guess once in a rare while, you make a new real-life friend or even hookup physically via that channel, and that's all well and good. But honestly when I got caught up in it after avoiding it for years, mostly what I did is follow people half way around the world that I'm never going to truly interact with and also focus on the most outstanding physiques on the planet accompanied by constantly comparing myself. That became a useless and non-satisfying rat race after a while, so I'm off FB altogether again and, as stated above, find it "liberating." Back 100% to real friends/real interactions.

For some people life just isn't it. Even if ''all the standard components'' which supposedly should make someone's life ''complete'' are there.
They will step out. Nobody will see it coming. Not a pill or therapy will help them. Probably overloading them with cash, hookers or even drugs won't change their constant feeling of emptyness.
Respect their choice and courage to leap into the unknown.

Sorry for your loss Blinky. I have seen it in my own family, it is no joke. Anti Depressants can be dangerous if not watched and given correctly. I have seen and heard of quite a few cases, where it has worsened the depression, and led to suicide.
-
A very bad illness & very little understood.
We have made Great strides in physical medicine & treatment.
Mental health knowledge & treatment is sadly lagging very far behind.
For a lot of people it's a torture inside their own minds.
To all those that suffer -- reach out & speak -- easier said than done.
Let's hope we can all help someone.
-

How are you feeling?
thank you
today was better. I was at work so we could all talk.
Ive had family and friends pass away before...but suicide is so different. No answers, no nothing

he was distanced from his family for like 20 years. Ive had his family contacting me on facebook and youtube asking what happened. SOOO tough having to break this news

Arnold probably never had an introspective moment in his life. Always in motion, moving towards a goal. That's the antidote to depression.

ya i might have to agree. The brain is a total mystery and can fuk with a lot of people no matter what

Depression, much like drug addiction, is the kind of "illness" that no one cares about until someone very close to them actually falls in the trap.
I hope you had the chance to say your good byes to the person.

Never found the need to make an account, still despise it, but who knows, I may be depressed by not "fitting in"...
you try to hard

Depression often goes along with anxiety - so the person might be depressed because s/he has a limited turf where s/he is able to interact and live life... a pressure cooker.
Basically a caged "intelligent" animal which goes berzerk.
This results in severe frustration which is our number one thing to overcome. We overcome it by doing and thus feeling powerful and taking up the role of masters of our destiny.
Observe a child play and toy around - especially take note of situations where it shows signs of anger/frustration and wait how long it takes until it goes into full whine mode[1] due to realizing being powerless when trying to attain a goal.
Grown ups have to go through this on a daily basis but can't just release tension via crying(your boss would love it) so they build up an inner dam where cumulative episodes of frustration are allowed to build up(dangerous) or start rambling. Rambling is a disguised form of crying.

If you ever need someone to talk to, please pm me. I've been in your shoes at a time in my life.
That actually goes out to anyone.

Great post, not sure ive ever seen it explained so well in so few lines

I got a bad case of it from taking clomid years ago, shit was unbearable. I'm fortunate it was only temporarily drug induced. Yeah I feel for ya bro.

same. It sucks. Message me if you want to talk ever

I suffered from depression when I was 16-17 years old. Luckily, I overcame that $hit a long time ago.
Depression is no joke. If you have it please seek professional help. Or if you know someone who you think may be depressed, help him/her out. A good friend of mine committed suicide a couple of years ago, it's devastating for your family and it will change their lives for the worst.
-
As someone said, it may be hard to notice. I never thought my friend would commit suicide until he did it. I also never thought Radical Plato was depressed, I even was a dick to him.
-
LOL this thread is pathetic.
And this is coming from someone who has personally been depressed and addicted to hard drugs, and also lost numerous close people for multiple different reasons. Not just talking out of my ass. But go ahead and call me a "sociopath" or insensitive like I know you guys will.

RIP Rob. Im sorry you didnt know how much we all loved you
You are right, depression is no joke, it is serious business. Fortunately, there are medications which can help most people deal with depression. Welbutrin is my savior. Seeing a therapist/psychiatrist during very difficult times can be most beneficial. Unfortunately, too many people feel like they should handle depression alone or are too embarrassed to seek help.
-
Ive had issues with both for years. Sadly we become VERY GOOD at hiding it and keeping it your ourself thinking people dont wanna hera our shit.
the sad thing is people don't want to hear other peoples shit, depression is contagious, they want to hang out with people that they have fun with
people don't truly care until it's too late

Sorry to hear about that. Even after losing many friends over suicide, it's crazy how life can get you down and you start contemplating the same thing. There have been times where I've bury my face in a pile of cocaine and wish for the same thing, only to be not go through with it because of the lives of loved ones it would disrupt. Other times, I want to live for a million years.
Raise your emotional set point by doing lots of high "flow activities" (Google it). I've been spending lots of time learning how to improve my life experience - it can be learned like any other skill. Instead of letting happiness be something fleeting, learn to cultivate and develop it. That way you don't have to wait for "good" things to happen and subsequently make you happy. You need to have inner peace, that way everything else is just a ripple on the surface.
I highly recommend the book The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. Actually any of his books are good... they got me into reading self-improvement stuff. I still battle with depression and sometimes even suicidal thoughts, but I've become a lot more content and have helped countless friends and family members since I purposefully tried improving my own life. Just a thought. Hope it can help someone out there. Suicide and depression are almost always dealt with in secrecy and shame, so I hope this reaches someone. Life is worth living, brothers.
