F*** I'm Depressed

[Jack_Dawson]

Someone tell me it gets better

[Teddy_Salad]

1. It gets better

Really, it does.

Hang in there! :hug:

[amerikat]

2. it gets better

why are you depressed?

[SarahB]

3. I hope it gets better.

I'm on a ever tettering see-saw of hopeful and stressed-out most of the time. Life is not easy and relationships are even worse.
All I can give though is this :hug: and this :).

[Tyler Durden]

4. As we all know, things get worse!

The above is of course the motto of Mr. Hands on the Mr. Bill Show.

Still profound and prophetic after all these years.

[Langis]

5. I was down yesterday

I'm feeling much better today, life is grand! It does get better

[jus_the_facts]

6. I hear ya....

....just sayin' it'll get better doesn't help much either. x(

[furrylitldevil]

Let's just say that it gets bearable

[amerikat]

8. jack....are you still here?

[Jack_Dawson]

10. Yeah I'm here...

[amerikat]

13. someone once told me that depression is anger turned inward

It is true. All the shame and guilt that we heap on ourselves needs to be vented. I am a private person and cannot tell you the way to vanquish your demons here. But send me a pm and I will give you my technique to send the demons booking.

14. it's not a religious thing or anything like that....just practical

[dolo amber]

16. I heard it as

'Depression is anger without the enthusiam'. Which is funnier.:D

Feel better, Jack. Just think, there really could be a Clark VP nomination soon...;) :pals:

[amerikat]

18. I'm just trying to help with practical advice

9. You can ride it out

I'm not sure what's going on here -- if you are clinically depressed, or experiencing a very normal response to the current era -- but sounds like the former....

It ain't considered a life threatening disease for nothing....

But the truth is -- it does pass, inevitably.

I've had it periodically most of my life, and sometimes very bad. Luckily I know enough about it that I have learned to disassociate from it, to understand that it is a pathology, and not a permanent state of reality. I know that at times I am looking through darkness, and not necessarily *at* darkness....

Ride it out. You can. Find the ways that work for you. There are also pretty good drugs out there these days to get you through the worst of it.

I hope you have some good people around you. When you don't, it is very hard indeed.

I'm sorry for you, my friend, and wish it were so that you didn't have to pass in this dark place. But -- it doesn't last forever> One day it will be over, and you will find yourself trying to remember how bad it was, just as you are now probably struggling to remember what happiness and life felt like.

XOXO and many hugs to you. Also -- a gratuitous but hopefully somehow therapeutic picture of a puppy.

12. Awwww thanks Chook

& cute Puppy!

[Tosca]

11. It doesn't get better...

Unless you wanted to!

[flamingyouth]

15. Sometimes it takes a long time to get better

Or so they say.

[amerikat]

20. you have the coolist avatars

[Miss Marmelstein]

17. Life's a rollercoaster....

full of ups and downs. Sometimes you feel like your in a black hole and the next minute you're bouncing off the ceiling. Uh, wait a minute....that's manic depression....yep, life's a rollercoaster.

:hug:

19. Jack.....i need to get some sleep.....the offer stands

[ugarte]

21. Cheer up, the Lakers lost!

That's gotta be worth a smile or two.

[Jack_Dawson]

22. You're damn right 'bout that!
