What is everyone depressed about? I'm depressed about family, social life, past relationships with my thotz, being broke, dealing with the wrong ppl in the streets and the influx price of retro Jordans.

Let us all drown in our sorrows together bruhs

Man, my ex, my location, my past. The thing is I have to learn to be grateful. I don't want to sound like a rapper but some days I feel I shouldn't be here. In regards to how reckless and scummy I was living. This life is a beautiful place but something feels off for the last few months. I'm delving into spirituality and my ego does not like it. Its brand new to me, thus I feel depressed, anxiety and awkward. I'm not a catholic but its like purgatory nothing good is happening or bad. This metamorphosis has been dormant and finally I'm acting on it. But change hurts.

you just have to realise that depression is just conformation bias. make an effort to appreciate and count all the good things that happen to you and slowly your attitude will change

Mainly people in general: my ex, feeling like I can't connect with my close friends on a deeper level, not even being able to talk to family about stuff, falling out with some people, not sure where I stand with some, constantly being let down, lied to, etc. I've been trying to meet new people and make new friends, but by now it feels like everyone has their established circles and I don't want to come across as annoying.

It feels like somewhere along the way I lost my drive; probably a combo of discouraging setback after setback and laziness. I'm currently trying to bounce back though.

I've got to stop dwelling in the past. Spent so much time thinking about it and trying to make things that didn't initially work work, that I forgot to live in the present and work towards the future. Because of that I feel like I never make the most of anything which is troubling when I'm on the verge of entering the "real world." I didn't experience nearly as much as I could have and now it's too late for most of it. The future has always been cloudy and unclear to me and I wish I had that figured out the way some of my peers do.

I honestly don't know what it feels like to be depressed. Maybe I have been and didn't know it.


My life is pretty hectic and stressful right now but it's for the right thing.

I've actually a couple of trips to the hospital over extreme anxiety this year, not sure if that counts.

 

[Belgium]

I've suffered from a major depression. Just know that it will get better.
I was in my first year of nursing school in 2013. I had great friends, a good social life and lots of fun. My class was a very tight knit group and I enjoyed every day of class.
October is when it all went to hell. I had a very rare lung defect that almost killed me and required the removal of half my right lung. I could barely speak or walk for 3 months and lost control of half of my right hand due to the 4 hour surgery.
I tried going back to class but it was too hard and I made an impulsive decision to drop out.
Not much later I started getting chronic leg pains 24/7 and that's when it went downhill for a long time. I got a psychotic attack in April 2014 which landed me in a psychiatry for 2 weeks. Nothing indicated mental illness or medication side-effects. I've had similar attacks 5 times since then.
Nobody could tell me what was wrong with me and I stopped talking to my friends, didn't feel like eating, crying, ...
I was in a dark place. My psychiatrist prescribed me Zoloft 50mg and psychologist sessions. I don't know if it was the therapy, meds or both but I got back on my feet in around 2-3 months.
I still have hallucinations, a 50% lung capacity and terrible pain every second of the day but I'm relatively happy. I've been referred to an elite team of doctors that try to diagnose unresolved cases and I'm looking forward to meeting them in a month or 2.
Unfortunately my pain stops me from work or class so I'm stuck at home but I can find pleasure in my days. Playing videogames with friends and I make a sizeable amount of money online which helps keep me busy all day too.
No matter how depressed you are it will get better in time. If I can do it I know y'all can do it too.

Yea its true, I never thought something like this would happen but I think it has made me stronger an Im not finished yet. It has given me a new outlook, things in the past I maybe thought were depressing are not so depressing now and if you want it, change that is you have to do your best to seek it. You are in control of things more than you may think. Somebody out there always has it worse than you, remember that. Mindset is everything, even in a funk, you have to try to let go of those thoughts that are like disease to your well being. I cant tell if youre being serious but "influx price of retro Jordans" is nothing to be depressed about. I have not wore 2 pair of shoes since June 4th and just now started walking/learning again. In the grand scheme thats a minuscule issue.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Xanax is poison. It can help for anxiety but it's a very dangerous drug. Very addictive and it can actually kill you if you try to withdraw cold turkey.

All this stay away from it NT. **** is not worth that temporary fix. If you want to rid yourself of anxiety sobriety is a great first step.
