Walks at 3 in the morning help me feel better.

I'm going through the same thing, I gave up alot of friendships and time to a girl who just turned around and dumped me not too long ago and now the holidays have rolled around and I've basically just been sitting at home feeling like absolute shit. But yeah, just try and keep yourself occupied. If you know anyone at all you can talk to I'd just suggest going to them immediately.

Listen to The Dark Side of The Moon by Pink Floyd.

:P

I listen to music whenever I feel down. i've never had any sort of major depression, but I've had my downs. Music always seems to help.

Also, consider getting a therapist or some other professional help. May not be easy to talk about your problems, but when you do, it'll feel better.

I've also heard that hobbies help immensly. Learn an instrument, exercise, collect things. Anything you enjoy doing. Remember, your problems will pass.

Craaaawling iiiin my skiiiiiiiin, these wooounds they wiiill not heeaaaal!!!!!!

Why couldn't it be? Why shouldn't people be able to come here with their problems, hoping to find a little bit of relief mixed in with all the immaturity and childishness?

I'm not saying I'm not immature, but people often have noone else to go to, and may come here because they seem comfortable in this environment and anonymity. How about we help instead of being sarcastic.

Bump because this topic is actually making me feel better...

Well lets put it like this, what if he follows some seemingly harmless advice that turns out to really screw him over, like lets say listen to music, it's great! yes it is but what if all the music does is help him bottle it up, then we'd have another emo on our hands, god damn emoism like the black plague taking more and more idiots...-Shakes head in disgust and shame for the emos-

I climb a clock tower...

Oh, serious?

I mean, I watch a funny movie. Those always help.

Shoot up schools.

Try singing or writing music.

That's what I always do when I feel down.

That's a great way to relieve depression, And it always ends so in favor of the shooter doesn't it?

I've lost count of how many school shootings there was, mostly because I can't count past 7 and Secondly i could care less...

if its because you art lonely, figure out why people avoid or dislike you and fix the problem. do you smell like swearty nuts? buy deodorant! do your lovehandles hide your penis from view? get your fat ass to the elliptical machine! are you a hippy bitch who smokes ridiculous volumes of weed?

cant help you there...

Getting a therapist would help you lots, i got one.

Don't bottle it all up inside you, get help from a pro.

Taking up a hobby seems like the best advice.

Smoke a bong and listen to Pantera. Metal up! Man up! Your problems are insignifigant compared to what you're going to have to deal with down the road. Once you get perspective on your problems, they don't seem so daunting.

Deal with everything one step at a time, if you look at the big picture, it's going to crush you. If you deal with things, you beat them, if you let them get to you and wallow in your own self-pity, you've been bested.

Stop listening to emo. Burn those t-shirts, crack those CDs, that shit is only going to get you more angst and ridicule.

You're fucking pathetic until you fucking get the rag out of your ass and get out of that fetal position.

Emos cry. Metalheads deal with shit one crushing bludgeon at a time.

Finding out that because a girl says "No" doesn't mean that you'll never find love. Shrugging off the bullshit an walking on like a man. Realizing that what the masses in your school belives today to be correct is not going to be correct 6 years down the line.

Learning that most of the Time.....You'll be wrong.

True advice.

Thanks, but do you have depression, because when you have it doing some of these things, or beliving them, is soata hard.

Please don't put dumb, stupid, or just plain annoying remarks, im serious, please don't.

They are very unlikely to give anti-depressants to a 13 year old anyway, unless there is something seriously up. Hard to say what might be causing it - you're 13, your hormones might be causing it. It's winter, so the lack of sunlight might be causing it (depression is well-known to be worse in winter - called seasonal affective disorder). Go to the doc if you feel crazy enough to want to harm yourself... but in the meantime:
Get out more (fresh air/daylight is great)
take up a new hobby
Sit and figure out when you feel most sad, if anything triggers it etc. or if it is just general down-ness
Buy a "daylight" bulb for your room
Put on a CD (or download) cheesy pop dance music and go nuts - bounce around your room like a total headcase. Just make sure your curtains are closed, because you'll feel even worse than when you started if you know someone saw you :p

Good luck with it.

P

I've come from many dark holes listening to Darkside.

The wall makes me angry, wish you were here makes me feel alone. They did wonderfully with their music.

I usually come on and find a bunch of abusive reviews and post a list over at Rage's Gift...Sometimes I write crazy stories or write horribly emo poems that I never read again because..well..I already said it, they're horribly emo :P So I avoid those points.

Oh I forgot to add in the top three: smoke cigarettes, bowls, and drink beer.

I found music helps alot, not that depressed emo stuff, but more upbeat songs with rhythm like David Bowie and the Beatles.

I use newgrounds flash portal aswell, the humorous stuff to be more specific. Really just anything funny I can find on the internet helps.

um....not doing drugs?

Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands. They just don't. :D

Meh, I just play video games a lot.

Seriously though, everything around you effects your mood. Sights, sounds, smells, etc. So if you are listening to sad music when you're sad, it can help because sadness goes in a curve, there is a point you must lower yourself to in order to get through a problem but most people push that too low, then climbing back up is hard.

I was put on every variety of uppers and downers from lithium to zyprexa, some paxil, prozac, ritalin, everything. I spent from 11-16 on these weird pills. They couldn't find a pill combo to make me happy and it turned out that I was the key player. The drugs made me spacey, the spaciness effected my logic and I was unaware that that angry system of a down I was listening to(SoaD was still screaming the majority of the time) Slipknot, Mudvayne, Metallica(oh so sad they're in this list, they're so good but it's true: Master of Puppets was a pretty sad album), etc. I was spending months at a time watching Fight Club on repeat, all kinds of drug movies where people hit rock bottom. It became an obsession to hit rock bottom.

I did. Now I'm on my way up..I'm not suggesting you try for rock bottom at all, I'm actually suggesting you change your environment. Put in some brighter light bulbs, buy a lighter colored piece of clothing. Switch your soap to something citrusy so you can be known for smelling fruity. A lot of stigmas we give ourselves become the character traits of who we are.

It's really hard to give you good honest help in such a short time, maybe if we talked more I could offer some suggestions and we can work on something.

Good luck :)

go on a killing spree in my dreams as a t-rex. as shown below.

Think about the worst case scnario and make comparisons.No matter what, what your dealin with is not the worst that could appen.

I normally just ignore it. It doesn't work for most people, but it's worth a try.
