This was me almost every night until recently. It helps if you find someone worth being happy for, that way you don't spend so much time questioning your choices and where they're leading. You have right here, right now, and it's happy, so **** everything else and live in the moment. Find something to love. Someone to love. And just live for that love.
My father laid some wisdom on me yesterday to combat my depression.
"Put everyone else first, and your own joy will follow"
Context was talking about my wife and kids. If I stop worrying about my own personal **** , and start worrying about their personal **** instead, mine won't seem like anything when I actually get to it.
If you go about your life, trying to make things better for those around you; life will end up better than it was.
He's been working for the Government for 30 years now. He makes almost $200,000 a year working for private companies that negotiate defense contracts with NSA.
That's all the information I have on his job. Literally, that's all he can tell me.
He's battled depression most of his adult life. This is what works for him, so I'm going to attempt it.
I'm all kinds of ****** up; mentally and physically. We'll just have to see what till will tell.
Good luck to you, I've got multiple friends that are battling depression, and I'm just trying to be there for them when they need to talk or whatever. It's extremely accurate when people call it a battle, I've had my bouts with it as well, it's rough **** .
It's life consuming. I'm Bi-Polar with a lean towards aggravation.
If I don't take my meds, I'm screaming at people all day for no reason. The tiniest ******* stupid things set me off, and there's no way to get back to normal other than to isolate myself.
Isolation is very bad for me because it brings out my suicidal tendencies.
I truly can't afford to miss my meds by even 2 hours. That 2 hour lapse ***** my head up something serious.
Bi-Polar, man, that's rough. I used to date a girl that was Bi-Polar, only she was more on the depressive side. It's tough listening to someone think of themselves as worthless when you yourself think the world of them.
Well, what I can say is keep your dad close, it's good to have people who can give advice like that. I'm gonna **** off and maybe try to sleep early tonight. Been trying to match my girlfriend's schedule so I have more time to talk to her.
