From what I've seen, depression is a spiral downward that just sucks hardcore. You want to do something fun? Too bad, you're depressed, nothing seems fun. Not having any fun? Well now you're more depressed.

I'd say force yourself to try some new things that you've never really tried before. Beyond that, I know that just talking to someone can help. Find someone you can confide in and stuff.

Yeah.. talking to someone is probably what I need, some friends coming over tomorrow so.

Worst thing will probably be having to try and act cheerful in front of my co-worker today, but then again just seeing her makes me happy so hopefully it won't be too hard ._.

When I get depressed I find the best thing to do is to do something productive. Usually there's a reason that I am depressed and wasting time with videogames etc. doesn't help.


Go read a book on investing/productivity/accomplishing something or something like that and see if you feel better.

It's one of the reason too!

In fact it's just that I lost all motivation to do good at school because I have no idea what to do in college so my grades are getting lower and even if I don't like it I still can't find the motivation to study more.

And then there's the fact that I'm not even sure I will be able to afford my tuition fees next year because I can't get more than a crappy low pay job at 20hr/week

And then there's the fact that I can't muster the courage to confess to that one girl because I'm so beta (I was super close last week but I choked like a *****)

Oh and I guess the crushing loneliness I've been suffering for a few days now doesn't help.

1st world problems I guess.

This is bad advice, and I know it. Just accept it as advice:

Just stop being depressed. Depression is a head game that you have somehow melted into so you have to use willpower and apply a bit of self worth and climb your way out of it. It will be you in the end who flips the mental switch, so get to it. I don't know why you are depressed, life is straight line, and everyone's line is different, so just live life and realize you have nothing to be depressed about.

Here's a trick. Find a random girl at a club or bar or just on the street or whatever and hit on her... I guess just try to get her number. Repeat until you realize that just one girl isn't a significant thing to worry about at all.

I hope this isn't a joke because I'm pretty incapable of not taking this sort of thing seriously.

I'd hang around some good friends, avoid negative people because you'll start beliving what they say eventually. If something is bothering you, don't bottle it up.

If you start getting.... unpleasant thoughts... seek professional help quickly.




My advice isn't professional of course...

Grow a beard.

Keep yourself busy and force yourself to do stuff. Doing nothing is the worst thing you can do when depressed.

Thanks guys, nice to have some support.

I'm feeling a lot better already in fact, it was raining today and rain really lift my spirits so walking to work already made me feel better. And then I got to work and decided that even if I felt kinda bad that I would at least not make my customer and coworkers suffer from it, it went alright I guess. I felt really talkative so I talked a ****ton with my coworker today, I'm not supposed to be hanging around the counter when I'm not doing cash but **** it I wasn't feeling like doing crap anyway so we just talked the whole shift and while I didn't say anything about feeling bad it just felt good to talk you know.

And she's getting me interested in acting, I would never do it but it sounds pretty damn fun listening to her.

Now let's just see if spending the night alone will make me fall down again. Tomorrow will be plentiful with action at least so no loneliness in sight.

College > Not College for almost every potential career choice. Even if you just spend your first year or two doing aimless general ed classes you'll be able to use that time to find direction. But I'm sure you've heard this before.

"College will brighten your future", "random stat about increased income after college", "etc, etc".

You already know all of that stuff, and so my telling it to you wont give you any information you don't already possess. But I will tell you that it's only going to happen for YOU when and if YOU decide it's what you want. I can strongly urge you to make that decision, but it still comes down to you.



And then there's the fact that I'm not even sure I will be able to afford my tuition fees next year because I can't get more than a crappy low pay job at 20hr/week


Then go part time. I also strongly encourage you NOT to take any unnecessary student loans. You might not already know this, but they are basically the worst thing ever. You can get completely ruined financially from them.



And then there's the fact that I can't muster the courage to confess to that one girl because I'm so beta


Clarify if you want? Don't know the story behind this so I'm not qualified to respond.



Oh and I guess the crushing loneliness I've been suffering for a few days now doesn't help.


"Loneliness"

"Days"

When it comes to girls and loneliness I'd wager I've got most of the board topped. 15 months ago I was completely crushed romantically. I still haven't recovered in the sense that I'm still completely unready for a new relationship and if I let myself think about certain things the pain is still fresh. I'm not sure when I will be ready again, but my state of potentially readiness can not be measured in days or even weeks. The thought of not being lonely in the romantic department is a distant idea to me right now.

Fortunately I have my friends and my faith. My online friends (Sir Chris, red13n and ermine chiefly among them) have been immeasurably helpful and I also started spending time with my step brother + his gf.

And as cliche as I'm sure it sounds having my God to rely on has helped as well. Being able to tell myself (and believe it) that it happened for a reason lends a peace of mind. I don't know what's waiting for me in the future, but I do know that I can survive anything now and so when it's time I'll be ready.

I am the same way. Walking in the rain is incredibly soothing for some reason.


In any case I with you the best of luck.

Oh I'm not talking about only girls here, just friends and everything.

Been like a month since I actually saw people who weren't my customers, it's getting to me even though I'm kinda asocial.

And thanks a lot bro.
