Depressed

Hey guys I have been feeling really depressed recently. Does anyone know a good way to brighten my mood?

Thanks and sorry this is so short.

 

Are you feeling depressed or sad? For me, there is a big difference.

 

running.

endorphins are natural anti-depressants

 

Depressed. I have a lot going through my life at the moment and I keep thinking about suicide. I feel terrible and alone.

 

Talk to me on MSN man.

I wanna help you out

 

Thanks. I just want some ideas on ways to make me feel happier My MSN is not working properly at the moment and will not let me add people unfortunately

Thanks for offering your support though.

 

it may sound odd, but i recommend community service.

for three reasons:
1. smiles. when we see smiles we feel better. simple as that. when you help people you make them smile. (usually)
2. build community. with people there to help you, as you have helped them, you have many more resources.
3. most important, when you do charity work you usually get to work with ppl who are less fortunate. this will encourage downward social comparison. downward social comparison is known to boost self esteem.



also, just ask your parents if you could get a counselor that you could talk to. it helps just to say a lot of stuff.

 

Thanks for your help, after talking to a very kind member via PM's I think I am going to contact a therapist.

 

Take various forms of speed for short term.

Talk to people.

Exercise - any form.

If you ever want to vent or talk feel free to pm me and I'll tell you my msn. Any time man.

 

PM me then. I'll try my best to help you. Are there anythings that are actually bothering you?

 

add my msn on my sig bro

 

you can use "www.ebuddy.com" to add others then get on regular msn after that.

it's a version of msn that allows you log on msn through their webpage, i have to use it aswell after the latest live update don't let me add others.

 

i can't offer much in the way of support but i hope you feel better soon man

 

Talk to me via PM then

 

i have an associates degree in psychology and even i dont feel comfortable talking to him.
the mind is a delicate thing.

be careful with it.
or dont try messing with it.

 

Itll be all good Bro. If its weight the Issue then try your best to exercise or if its family then try to reconcile with them. At the end youll make it out if your strong. Trust me im just getting out of major severe depression and social anxiety So Im proof you can get better. See a therapist it really helps you see your problems better.

 

Take time out from your normal routine and go and do something different. If the weather is nice go for a walk to try and clear your head. As Tyro said above, trying a new sport could be extremely beneficial in healing your depression. An interest in a new sport could take your mind off being depressed completely.

 

Get off the computer, and get some sunshine.
Find some friends to hang out with and there will be a smile on your face.

 

Play games, go out with friends, involve yourself in as many ACTIVE events as possible so you dont even really think "I'm feeling sad today". Do anything to keep your mind off how depressed you might be will only make it better.

 

I have low points like this in my own life. I always deal with it by praying and being fully immersed in God's word. He comforts me. Let me grab a verse for you and I'll post it here.
