Depression

This is why I love funnyjunk.

amagad its hatsune

"Being sad" =/= depression.

Having no motivation to do anything, because you cannot fathom the idea of anything good coming your way,

Literally having to hold yourself up the entire day, to keep from just rolling over and dying,

Not even trying to tell yourself that you'll get over it anymore, because you know the last time you thought you finally decided to kick this thing, it didn't work. Same with the other 5 times,

That's depression. I'm no longer depressed, but this picture is really goddamn accurate. It starts with feeling sad, having a bad day, and it builds. And it eats away at you. And anyone who tries to talk shit about someone that is depressed is an asshole and a retard.

I know it's not just an excuse, because I used to have it, and with help from people that care about me, I got past it.

i have no motivation but i am never "sad" is there some kind of depression where you are happy and normal and shit but you still don't care about anything that happens in your life or to people around you ? am i that cold hearted ?

It's not just that you don't have any motivation, it's that you just can't see any point in trying anymore. Essentially you've given up on life because you think you have failed at it entirely.

FUCK ,i never knew i was depressed then again i didn't knew i had to wear glasses if the teacher didn't mention it.
I never noticed it because i thought this is how everybody is living , i never understood how ppl can be happy because of nothing, it is as if " a jewish or a muslim who never tasted bacon, and will never give it a try, they'll never know what they're missing and will never think about it's lack as a problem"
Day by day i became numb and thought everybody is the same, so i never spoke about it.
where can i start :<

I'm on sertraline but I'm not depressed. Explain.

Gee, you aren't depressed while you're on an antidepressant... you're going to have to give me a second to figure this one out

I have nothing that conveys the amount of satisfaction I get from the sarcasm seeping from the very pores of the internet due to your comment.

After I commented I did not bother correcting it hoping someone would say it.
I am on anti-depressants even though I was never depressed.

That's even harder. You were not depressed and your anti-depressent doesn't make you depressed?

Well guess what! YOU AREN'T DEPRESSED

This one year i made one of those 2,000 peace lego things and one peace was gone. been depressed for 5 years.

Okay, you're entitled to self diagnose yourself there. That is frustrating as hell!

i actually had a minor depression when i was younger :(

I was in therapy two times and both times the doctor just kept laughing all time while we were talking. I didn't feel secure at her. So I cancelled it. I can't look people in the eyes while talking about my problems. So, maybe I'm self diagnosed, but hell, I'm not going to trust any therapist any more ever

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

When you're depressed you don't have the energy to exercise. You just want to sleep, sleep and sleep.

Same here, man. I was depressed a few years ago and then started working out; the exercise makes you feel accomplished, releases endorphins, and makes you look better.

i work out alot doesn't make my any happier though.

people are different from eachother.
Some things that work wonders for one person might not work for another, and could even worsen it.
on the subject of depression and emotions and such

Couldn't agree more. I've been hitting the gym recently, and my overall mood has generally improved.

YFW

I agree though, working out or practising any sport you release dopamine, so you feel better (it's the drug of happiness).

This. Anti-depressians haven't worked for me, but I started hitting the gym mid-december, and it has made so much difference. Even though I'm not cured from the decease, I have a reason to get up in the morning.

then get so angry you turn super saiyan

An anon with a valid point? Been a while since I've seen one of these. But yes, they're right. I suffered from crippling depression and got recommended exercise. At first it was like 10min walks with close friends and family and it eventually grew to minor gym-work, then going on runs etc. It makes you feel great. And I'd recommend cardio rather than lifting, just out of personal experience.

The fact that this is happining is evidence that he is clearly not getting fresh air in there. There are no eye holes in that mask. He is likely suffocating, slowly beginning to panic, as shown by his clearly elevated breathing rate. He is dying, slowly, in a dark, hot, claustrophobic place.

while that seems sound, its not true, if he was actually suffocating, he would be doing something with his lands, not just calmly sitting there

*hands

lol my girl said this to me

she went in dry?

Yes.

Now if I murder you the cops will blame the antidepressants.

Care to share how to make friends in real life?

You have to figure that out for yourself. But you might try talking to people and actually caring about what they have to say. That's at least an attempt, and that's all you have to do is attempt.

alright... any idea on the where?

What do you enjoy doing? My best guess is that if you figure that out, you will figure out where to meet people with the same interests as you. Those people, the people who are most like you, are going to be the people that you most easily connect with.

Like in Katawa Shoujo, a school designed for people with special needs, those people know that there are others around them that know what it is like going through what they have gone through. This allows them to connect with others, like Hisao Nakai, was able to.

Hmm... Lesse, I like reading so a bookstore or library would work... I enjoy videogames no idea where to show up there. My little pony, no idea about tha t either... and I sculpt things with clay...

Anyway, nice talk, it's late so I got to go for now.
Goodnight.

Sounds like you like art and reading. Try joining an art or book club in your area. For video games, I would try finding friends in the forums of my favorite games to play with online.

Thanks man.. i've asked these kinds of questions many times with no real results... I'd hug you if i could

Mate, you got interests up the butt, so you shouldn't be too far off from just finding people at random who like the same shit. And yes, it's hard and I'm also terrible at it.

btw, if you live in any sort of larger city, there should GENERALLY be some sort of 'nerd' hangout. This should help you with the video game business if you don't find anyone online. ;) Also, people everywhere are impressed by sculpting.

Since most of the things i sculpt are pony related and people don't normally greet that with open minds, heres something i did recently thats on my computer, as example

Anime too, eh? (guess I should've figured that out from your pictures...) Just more to help you get a wedge in with all the creepy nerds that build hideouts exclusively out of old video game consoles and Warhammer miniatures (note: This is actually what it can look like).

But yeah. Anyone who toys around with art will at least have something people are willing to talk about, even if it's poni or Rin. Look around town! If you can't find something near you, online can help. Or, as you say, library might be good. I've never really figured libraries to be a place to talk to people, but that's mostly because I hide in a corner and read my shitty fantasy.

Stay away form me

That made me laugh.

mlp? then you've got plenty of friends already, that's how i look at it, i'm a brony, and any brony is a friend of mine
congratulations, you've just made about 100k+ friends

I'm talking about in real life friends

well thats as simple as going to the nearest convention, i'm going to everfree northwest this summer, even though it'd be a four hour drive up there, i'm still going. and with nothing but bronies going to these cons, chances are very high that you'll find someone that lives near you (maybe even a female to get fancy with) so don't think you're alone out there, we're everywhere

and if you can't afford the trip, try selling some pony sculptures, raise a little money to help pay for it, hell, i'd buy one if i had the money right now

isn't everfree in seattle?

yep

i live near there

oh? where?

As thexxtalonxx says, just talk.
Nobody has too much friends and we are social animals. So, although you may think you seem crazy talking to someone you don't know, it doesn't bother anyone. Even if it might seem strange, most people won't see a problem in it.
Just talk a little bit and then go. You don't have to get to be friends the first time. Give yourself time. Talk one day, then another, then more, etc. You may connect or you may not, but there's a big chance you get a friend.
If I'm in a bar and some dude I see sometimes around talks to me I will think it's strange. But it won't bother me. That's the important thing. We are not used to meeting people we don't know. So it might feel strange, but that doesn't mean it's bad.

About the place, I would recommend you try to join some club or activity where there will be people u meet regularly. Painting club, judo club, anything of the sort.
--------
The secret to making friends is that. Nobody has enough friends. So, although it may be strange to talk to some unknown person, it's not bad.
Even people with friends like to meet new people.

P.D: sometimes, something as easy as saying hi can change a relationship. I met some friend's friend one night. We talked a little bit. But whenever we saw each other in the neighbourhood we said hi. Only hi. Now, I don't really know him but if I meet him in somewhere I can talk to him.

WARNING: brony STORY AHEAD
sorry if you (or anyone reading this) hate/dislike bronies, but they saved my life, and are continuing to save it every day, when i was just 3 years old (15 years ago) my parents divorced, while i have gotten over that, i'm stating it to bring up my next point. about 3 years afterward, my dad remarried to a woman named mary ann (to simply be dubbed "MA" from this point on) and to this day i do not have any clue why he married her, but that's beside the point, for their entire 5 years of marriage it was fight after fight after fight, only one of which my father actually started. fast forward to 2007, 2 years after they divorced, MA files a restraining order against my dad out of the blue, because she thought, and i quote "i think he's trying to kill me for my life insurance policy" a life insurance policy that was canceled a years before the final divorce papers went through (yes, she's practically retarded, it's a miracle she's lived this long without drowning in her soup) thankfully the judge denied it, but since then, my father has had to keep every receipt/paycheck/text message he's gotten to keep her from trying again. fast forward to 2008, first year of high school, while in middle school i had only had a very small handful of friends, i could count on one hand how many i had, so going into high school with no friends... you can see how that goes, so add that on top of the stress that me and my family have gone through at the expense of this psychotic woman, we now fast forward to november 2011, the bitch shows up at our door, looking for a place to stay, because she is divorcing another husband, and my dad lets her in because she promises to help pay bills around the house, and also that "i've changed, i've gotten so much better than i was when we were together" and for the first few weeks, it does look like she's changed, she hasn't started any fights, she payed off half of our bills


continued in next comment, running out of room

and she even drives me and my brother around town whenever we want to go somewhere, now, i had discovered mlp, and the amazing fandom by this time, which helped me out of my earlier depression, by finding something that warmed my heart and kept me happy, (listen to "smile smile smile" from the show, and you'll see why) but then, fast forward a month, dad takes her to a gig (he's a drummer in three different cover bands in the portland area) and she gets HAMMERED as fuck and starts screaming at him when he's on a break about how "you ignore me all the time, i'm not going to be with someone who ignores me" (they were together in the first place? wut?) and embarrassing him in front of his band members and his crowd, and the owner of the place, because she's a fucking moron. and from that point on, she just gets worse, and worse, and worse, saying, on a regular basis, that we don't do shit for her, and we never pay any of the bills, blah blah blah. now fast forward to september 2012, we get evicted from our house because the owners wanted to sell the property, so dad (thinking clearly, huduurrrr) lets her move into the new place with us, and allowing her continued reign of terror over us. fast forward two months, rent needs to be payed, and we're coming up short, so she lets a few people she met and became friends with in the time dad and MA were divorced move in and become room mates, and help pay rent, one such person in aaron, her step son from her recent divorce, and this guy (he's 22) is a punk, he destroys stuff around the house, he breaks my dads tools, and, because of MA, he has absolutely no respect for me, my dad, or my brother, because of all the stupid shit talk she spat when she was still married to jim (aaron's dad) about how horrible we are as people, and a few days ago, my dad found out that he had drilled a hole in the gas tank of his truck, to steal some gas from him, and plugged it with a screw

continued in next comment

and so, after doing nothing but try and help aaron, and getting it shoved right back up his ass, dad's had enough, so he called the cops, filed a report, and he'll be paying for repairs, plus fines, but when MA hears about this, she flips, and starts defending aaron the vandal, saying that we have no right to turn him in for destroying our shit. we cant say any cross word about her, or anyone else in this house in front of her, or she flips out, and goes on a tangent of retarded bitchy-ness, so now, we hide our feelings, we hide them away, or we get the stupid bitch treatment, and i've only held it in for so long because of my fellow bronies, because of the kindness, the generosity, the loyalty, the honesty, and the laughter that they give me on a regular basis, and it's magical what a few heartfelt smiley faces and "stay strong"'s can do to fend off depression and sadness, on the most extreme of levels. it is safe for me to say that had i not discovered mlp and the bronies, i would not be here to type out these three long comments

moral of the story, these "faggots" as most of you call them, these kindhearted, "faggots" have kept me alive, by simply upholding the three definitive words of a brony... love, tolerance, and brotherhood

i love them with all my heart, and i owe them my life, and i will never give them up, never betray them, and never stop being one of them

That was well written, you have my blessings and i hope everything works out for you in the future.

[big]/)(&#91;big]

thank you, i'm looking to get a job so i can get out of this house and on my own, away from that stupid cunt

i'm looking forward to flipping her off as i walk away like a badass

i just saw that comment get rolled

yeah man, that sucks though.

thanks for understanding bro (^.^)

yeah that was weird

Sounds like an awesome idea.

(both moving out and flipping her off)

yeah, one of my friends form Illinois is gunna be moving out here to oregon around this summer (maybe fall) and we'll be getting a place together, so that'll be awesome

That sounds like the dream man.

yep, shit's gun b gud

Fucking awesome, my friend. Though I must say, they are not deserving of your tolerance and friendship, yet you persevered, which is a commendation beyond recognition. You're my fucking hero today, bro. Keep at it, don't give in.

thank you very much bro, have an adorable derpy gif

and to be honest i kinda teared up a lil as i typed "because of the kindness, the generosity, the loyalty, the honesty, and the laughter"

It has been an emotional thing for me as well. I came very close to crying when I listened to "Smile Smile Smile" on one of my very rare down days. I truly enjoy the message this show puts out. It's a tranquil purity, shedding light on this dark and hateful world we all live in.

indeed my good man

Inspiring man. I hope things just get better for you.

They get better all the time friend.

You're an awesome person, keep being awesome.

good point but your gif pissed me off
