Why aren't you depressed yet? It's literally the most Veeky Forums thing to be rn tbqhf

There's a difference between being depressed and painting yourself as being sad and introspective so you can feel special. The people who are actually depressed generally do as much as they can to seem ok on the outside. In real life depression just makes other people uncomfortable or just plain pity you for being so pathetic that you struggle to cope with daily life.

Why try to be like them? When you finally get to be like them, what them is changes.

Stop romanticizing mental illness, depression isn't "cute" or fun to live with it's a fucking burden that weights down both you and those around you, stop saying you're "depressed" just because you want to be a manic pixie dreamgirl/boy

I would do anything to give this away

>The people who are actually depressed generally do as much as they can to seem ok on the outside.
How do you talk to someone who has depression? I know someone like this, and I can't help but feel helpless to do anything sometimes.

>Be depressed
>Be anxious
>Tumblr girl thinks its cute
>she avoids me when I am affected by my illness
All I wanted was to feel loved and understood and these bitches think its cute until it isnt anymore

I fell for the meme. opened up to the girl about my depression. she slowly just faded away from me
girls are mean :(
No wonder alpha guys pump and dump them

i am. help me.

Telling you this from personal experience. Don't ever tell girls about depression. No one gives a fuck.

>girls are mean

from her perspective she just saw the potential for you both to care about each other and have happiness and fulfillment but her anxiety and depression got the best of her and she sabotaged herself and stopped before getting too close knawmean

Just invite them out to stuff like hiking. Tell them it'll be a quick hike so it's easier for them to deal with anxiety. I think simple and quick activities helps them to ease into getting back into normal life.

That's what I did anyway. Joined a matching band where I was constantly busy and started working out. Got more active and 3 years later I'm feeling more normal

i am depressed
i just cried because i thought how pathetic and sad it is that girls younger than me already get into porn and prostitution
i feel so disappointed by today's world values and principles

Dunno man. I used to have "moderate +" depression and it still rears its ugly head sometimes.

I remember that the worst thing was the feeling of shame of being depressed and trying to hide it no matter what. Remember, it is a mental disorder and logic rarely applies.

Maybe ask if this person would like to do some activity that does not require talking. Something that makes him/her feel like his/hers existence is appreciated. Just don't over do it. I had severe paranoia that people know and are only saying good morning to me just to cheer me up.

>and 3 years
yes but how to deal with the feel of a wasted youth

shit man mines was so bad. I thought the girl who was dating me was paid off by dad to hangout with me.

Yeah. I got into Veeky Forums when I was the worst. I needed something to show people how normal I am. The awkwardness propably made everything creepy when I thought people are nice to me only that I would not slit my wrists. Even though I never was truly suicidal.

One year in the military cured my depression completely. Nothing to be sad over compared to that shit.

the fact that military exists is already depressing af

>wanting to have all of the joy sucked out of your life so people will stop and look at you for 2 seconds in public

fucking normies.

>tfw depressed for ~10 years
>start taking vit D3 while also having a full time job/not being a useless neet for once in my life
>holy shit this stuff is magic, i'm fucking cured
>couple of months later, start feeling it creep up on me again

I just want to be a productive member of society while not being in a way that makes me completely detest myself while constantly worrying about the future. Fuck.

Thankyou for reading my blog.

Being depressed is basic bitch and basic bro as fuck. I thought you fucks were supposed to be the fashion board, not fucking hipsters, ew.

been spending my paychecks on the last 6 months on supplements and gym shit. everything only cures me for a bit then im backed depressed

made some gains but now I have body dysmorphia

was taken vyvanse and that was working until it gave me a panic attack now I have anxiety that its gonna happen again so I sold all of it.
trying a vegan diet now :(

Just never confront them, but always make sure they feel included welcomed and loved. Invite them to everything, text them first, they won't always go or reply but those little gestures go a long way.

here, gym helped me immensely but at first it only filled the void where personality and life goals normally are. Only after some gains and increase in selfconfidence it developed into a healthy habit. Still getting depressed from skipping gym or low bloodsugar. No idea whats up with that.

I've lost a lot of weight before (no working out though) and changed to a healthy diet, but in the long run it didn't do anything for my depression. Maybe going to the gym/doing something active would help, but it always makes me ten times more miserable for some reason, so I can never stick to it. Currently working towards becoming /thinspo/. I know reaching that goal won't solve anything and that I will likely dislike myself just as much as I do now, but at least there is that satisfying feeling of control from seeing your own progress. I may be a fuck-up in all other things, but at least I can lose weight... (Which I don't think is hard, but others have commended me on my "discipline", so hey, what do I know.)

If things get bad enough this time around I'm going to see a doctor and hope prescription drugs will help. I never tried before because of stigma/worry I wouldn't be taken seriously. I think maybe because I've lived with depression for so long I can't gauge how bad it really is, so I think it's probably not that bad after all and never seek out help.

Fuck stigmatized illness.

>it always makes me ten times more miserable for some reason, so I can never stick to it

The feling of inadequecy is horrifying. Progress made and current achievements are never enough. Losing weight for the mere goal of losing weight is destructive though. Body modification usually comes with dysmorphia and as earlier said the current state is never enough.

From personal experience therapy is far more effective than drugs. I was over my worst state when I tried some activating drugs. Staring at a wall during my free time was kinda boring so I got prescripted something for that. Don't think it really helped but atleast my apartment was spotless. But therapy and merely talking and bouncing ideas off of someone makes you forget all about the inane depressing things. I remember that after a session with one I would wonder if I ever was depressed at all. Though I have met one therapist that made me give up with recovering. Such an awkward and disappointing experience.

Is ADD Veeky Forums?

I probably phrased that wrong. I meant that physically working out just makes me miserable/want to cry and feel exhausted. I never get that "runner's high" so I can never stick to a workout regimen for longer than a couple of weeks. Just dieting is easy though. Kinda worried about dysmorphia, but I'm losing at a slow pace and I do have a goal that I won't go below. But I agree that losing weight could be a slippery slope. Hope I don't develop an eating disorder along the way...

I always thought therapy would be for people with underlying trauma of some sort, so I just assumed it wouldn't work for me. But maybe that's wrong. Meeting the wrong kind of therapist would be horrible though. I would probably give up on that front if I had a bad encounter with one. But it's encouraging to hear you say it actually helped when it was good.

mfw I'm still socially awkward at times, and I freak/overthink when this person does this..brb double texting.. Wut do?

If you think you have depression, please go seeking counseling. It's the best thing you can do.

Couldn't agree more. Are you seeing someone for counseling?

Because I'm lucky.

I don't get that rush from working out either. It only feels good because I know that I have given my all towards some goal and I feel that I have done something even remotely productive.

I feel down when switching workout programs because the first two weeks or so I need to adjust the program and I don't get a good workout. I get the feeling I didn't give my best.

I am. It fucking sucks. Most of my friends don't know because I put a brave face on it but even if I don't feel sad and useless I just feel like an empty shell. Since I've gone downhill I've basically just been drinking or doing drugs to have some sort of fun.

once you go sad there´s no going back

try being bipolar

Girl I'm seeing said that I was mysterious jokingly, really I'm just depressed.
I have no idea how to tell her or whether I even should.

This.
