| Music is typically what helps me with that stuff. It's honestly the only thing I can even get myself to do because I can't focus on anything else due to the depression and lack of motivation. Hence why I haven't watched anime in like two weeks or so. |

| Honestly: You fuck it to death. I've said it a few times by now (did I post in this thread already? There's dozens of threads like this on here. What the hell?), but you have to hit rock bottom, and then you either kill yourself (not recommended) or claw your way to some plateau of normalcy, slowly but surely, through sheer force of will, realizing you can't go back to the way you were before, because going back to your former life would mean certain death. Platitudes are the last thing people down in the pit want to hear, and I know this, because I was there. I'm still clawing my way out. I realize I will never be a fully-adjusted, fully-normal person. It's alright. Things are difficult, and always will be to some extent. But they get better, if you want them to get better badly enough. The first step is reaching that point where you stop caring about seeking validation or feeling sorry for yourself. Your pain becomes too much, and you get no "relief" from feeling sorry for yourself or being pitied any more. You fucking hate it, in fact. I'm not trying to be mean, but you have to get to that point where pity party threads on the Internet no longer satisfy. You're ready to die, or live your life as a chemically-lobotomized zombie. The thought of splattering your brains all over your room doesn't make you at all uncomfortable, outside of feeling bad about ruining your parents' house. You've probably made a few half-hearted attempts on your life by now. Maybe you watched Watership Down on TCM and it sent you into a suicidal existential tailspin. After all the dust settles, you feel nothing. You become totally numb. And you build on that numbed nothingness. You start from the ground up. Rebuild your fucking life. What else is there to do? |
| recently started taking over the counter anxiety meds that i found in the vitamin section of a pharmacy, they're decent. I was looking into getting Ashwagandha but its hard to find :c aside from that I write and draw and play games and shit |

Turnip said: Drugs always helps! I've never been tested for depression or anxiety, but I tend to keep to myself and play games when I'm feeling down in the dumps. Having depression is not 'feeling down in the dumps' |

iiKrina said: Yes it is?Turnip said: Drugs always helps! I've never been tested for depression or anxiety, but I tend to keep to myself and play games when I'm feeling down in the dumps. Having depression is not 'feeling down in the dumps' Depression means to lower something, feel down or a crashing market, go read a dictionary then come back to me lmao. So like I said before having depression is a constant state of feeling down in the dumps. If you wanna argue against me I would love to see dictionaries to back up your mumbo jumbo otherwise you can just accept my statement as facts. |

iiKrina said: Yes you are 100% correct like I was, there's a difference between emotion depression and depression disorder, also known as clinical depression or major depression.Turnip said: Yes it is?

So like I said before having depression is a constant state of feeling down in the dumps. If you wanna argue against me I would love to see dictionaries to back up your mumbo jumbo otherwise you can just accept my statement as facts. Having depression is not the same as feeling depressed. That's why I said I haven't been tested. If I've never been tested then I can't say I've had clinical depression. But my mother and brother on the other hand have which is where my vast knowledge on the topic stems from. Obviously you read my post wrong but that's okay I'm a forgiving individual. |

| Mainly with music or just walks with the dog, also talking to someone I trust a lot to help clear my thoughts and such. |
  Ascended Taste I only came back to this site for the forum sets and to promote my RYM list... Anilist ftw still :dab: |
| Dealing with my depression...???? Well, that's kind of hard to sum up ;-; - BTS - My ladybug <3 (complicated to explain) - I focus on the small, and good, parts of life. - I tell myself to think otherwise :) - i cri. Anxiety? It's been with me all day. I'm distracting myself with MAL and video editing. It hasn't been too bothersome. I can still feel it, in the background of my current, okay, mood. |

| I've been feeling depressed over some stuff that happened the past few days. The best way to deal with these things is to avoid outside contact, watch anime, and eat something yummy. The combo of isolation, anime, and ice cream sandwiches helps me get through tough moments in my life. |
