Anyone suffer from depression?

thanks for sharing guys. i think the best medicine is definitely keeping busy with exercise and other things but as stated it's hard to motivate yourself sometimes when it's hard just to get out of bed. also keeping a good diet helps, the past couple of days ive just been snacking on shitty foods and not had a proper meal which is probably why I feel worse than normal, one of my friend overdosed about 2 weeks ago age 27 so it kinda brings it home how serious this shit can get. life's fucking tough sometimes no matter how easy it may seem you have it. I just feel like sleeping all the time if I could I would and I hate it when i've napped and know I wont be able to sleep again for hours and have to deal with being awake back in reality again.

it's also hard on those around you since it's not a very easy thing to understand unless you have it yourself, you alienate yourself from family and friends and most the time they just think you're being a dick/weirdo but that's not the case. i've never cut myself or attempted suicide but the thought are there mainly just as a release, knowing there's a way to stop the constant feeling of shittyness sometimes is enough of a relief to keep you going.
 
Yah I've got it pretty bad
All life just seems boring to me, don't really know what excitement is anymore

Got about a million different characters I play to get through life, so no one including my son knows
It's impossible to describe the feeling but just nothing gets my blood pumping anymore, I badly need to change career or start a new hobby but the thought alone is enough to make me quit

sucks about your friend, you are right about exercise, workout every day, the discipline in that helps, also rage helps, use all the things you hate to motivate yourself into the workout schedule, dont know if this is the best advice ever but, hey its not a nice world out there, so become a swole-rage monster and then slingshot into happiness, and get pussy
 
Used too, went a good 8 years with out it, and now it's back. A combination of things in life has me irritated and down. I find myself wanting to throw away all this time I have under my belt living clean and sober, but I cant/won't. I won't survive long if I do.

Normally I would depend on my girl too keep a positive mindset, but lately everything she does sets me off even if it's something little.
 
when i was in depression, it was because i didn't have any goals in life, and didn't have any interests that made life fun. work was also stressful. if i were the threadstarter, i'd find something in life that interests him, and to put his time and effort into it. seeing personal progression in life gives one satisfaction and the desire to live for that reason.
 
in a few more months you will feel somewhat better. it takes time for your dopamine receptors to return to normal after 10 years of relying on substances to make you happy. also take into account that the winter makes depression way worse.

yeah i hate this time of year especially here in england it's rainy and miserable as fuck
 
As an adult, I've never had anything like what most people here describe.
Just going to observe that the holidays are a particularly rough time for a lot of people. Anybody going through that right now, just know that I'm not the only person who you've never met that's rooting for you to keep your chin up tonight, tomorrow, and from here on out.

Maybe but listening to Huey Lewis and the News always cheers me up. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics.

Just decided to listen to this song after reading your post. I hadn't heard it in a long time. It's totally applicable right now. Funny the way things go in cycles.
