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.

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

fuck you

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

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.

Very well said.

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"...

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.

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.

el numero uno · « **Reply #43 on:** June 19, 2016, 05:34:26 PM »

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.

Ive said it before ill say it a million times more. Depression isnt a joke. Its not something "they'll get over". They arent just having a bad day. If you know someone who is or might be suffering...please reach out and talk to them before its too late.

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.
