I'm beginning to exhibit symptoms of being depressed.

How do the rest of you guys deal with it?

Lately I've been feeling like crap, usually, just stick to a group of really close friends and talk to them about it for a while.

Another thing that helped for me was a girl who I've been talking to lately a lot lately, and we're probably gonna go out, just the thought makes me happy :DDD

But other then that, don't cut yourself.

What could be the exact sign to depression ? I can't identify wither or not If it's towards something serious or not.

I'm getting a psychologist. You might want to see if your parents or your own insurance can cover you for these expenses.

They might be able to help with what problems you've got.

Psychologists are bullshit and expensive as all hell.
If anything just let out your emotions, don't let it all bottle up and have a mental breakdown, find someone close to you whom you can talk to, just let it all off your chest. That always makes me feel better when I feel depressed.

By being awesome.

My cure for everything is skateboarding.

It's not so much one for sure thing, there are common signs:

-Trouble sleeping
-Appetite substantially increasing or decreasing
-Finding less joy in things you find fun
-Etc

Call someone you're close with and talk with them. I hope you feel better.

Hmm...bullcrap.

My sessions cost only 20 bucks per visit (Which I'll probably only be going once or twice) and for the most part is covered by our insurance.

In addition, 6+ years of studying, research and internships are actually bullshit, amirite?

Listen to depressive music. Well some how it makes me happy?

I can already imagine the friend-zone thread.

So it's kind of like a mix between emotion and Mental Disorder Yeah That quite sucks... You've haven't been feeling like you could care less about everything have you?

works for me.

I'm pretty sure that's not what you're supposed to do.

Yet her touch remains the same.

Mary...

I listen to music and try to write because it keeps my mind on other things

So if you have a hobby or something like that absorb yourself in it whenever you can, you might come out better for it.

Sleep, fap, eat, be antisocial.
That's how I do it.

Well, from what I know this is the best remedy... I mean.. ..have you heard...

When I get depressed I just stay depressed for days or weeks. It's pretty hard for me to shake.

I realize that depression is for little girls and I become awesome instead.

That's how I tend to be as well.

I just sat on the phone with my girlfriend for nearly an hour and I just got mad at her. Her way of cheering me up is saying shit like, "You didn't cheat on me, right?" and "You know I love you, right?". I appreciate her trying, but that's not what I want to hear when I'm fucking sad.

May I ask why you're depressed? Is there a particular reason?
I try to learn more about depression. I'm a depressant myself too. :|

It's nothing too complicated really. I recently signed up for the Us Navy and I'm leaving for basic in a few months. Soon after, pretty much all of my close friends decided they wanted to join the military and so we're pretty much all going our separate ways soon. Then my parents just informed me that they're moving away after I leave and that I have to rent a storage unit to keep my stuff in while I'm gone, IE: I'm not getting a welcome wagon once I come back.

So in short, my whole life is about to take a giant turn and I will probably not see a lot of my close friends again. Yes, I'm aware that I can still stay in contact with people, but it's gonna be difficult because I'm gonna be going on three month tours in a submarine. Since a lot of my friends are joining the Army, they're gonna be over in Iraq/Afghanistan so there's gonna be less chances to call them or whatever.

I go back and look on this post.. Trust me, read it and it will make you laugh..
