Depressed?

[BonnyPortmore]

For about a year now i have been feeling extremely depressed.
It started out of the blue one morning i just felt really sad, from then on i cant shake this feeling and the more i think about it the more depressed i become.
I dont have to worry about suicide, i am way too much of a coward to kill myself, but upon learning about communism and about the capitalist system we live in, i have become even more depressed, not uplifted as i thought i might.
What can i do for depression without drugging myself with prescriptions.
?

[bcbm]

well, i just drink all the time, but that's probably not the kind of solution you're looking for.

[BonnyPortmore]

me too, not helped so far

Stop caring so much. Nothing in your life is that serious. So try not to get take things too much to heart. Sure there is alot of nasty shit in this world, but its not all your fault, and at least you have a good concience (being left-wing, i take it?)

Incidently, It may pay you to sit down for a while and try and conjure up exactly what it is that has happened to make you feel this way. This isnt as easy as it sounds, but i believe that there is most likely something repressed that you need to get out of your system and accept.

Probably nothing serious either, Just something that matters personally to you. Infact, it may pay you to be alone, while you do this, as it may not be very pleasant. But you will feel much much better afterwards, if you get to the source.

That would be the first stage.

Forget about suicide. Sorry if I sound cheesy here, but life really is too precious just to give it away for nothing. Hope this helps in someway.

uh, get active... in that way you'll have to much thing to do, you'll be stressed all the time and you won't have time for depression. :lol:

[rebelmouse]

1) temporary solution: read something what push you to laugh, I read Asterix, Alan Ford, Freak Brothers, and I can die how much I laugh.
2) longer solution: change your way of thinking which make you depressive. if you can. don't forget that everything is in our brain: our standpoints, morality, suffering, or whatever. just change what make you sad, in order to save yourself. if nerve system one time break, it will repeat again and again, so it is for your good to analyze yourself, to see what make you depressive and even if you can't change anything, change your way of thinking which make you sad. as I said, if someone get broken nerves, it will stay so whole life. so, your nerve system is more important than any trouble in this world. and watch your body from inside, how much it is perfect constructed and it is stupid that life conditions can break brain when it is so complicated inside. and watch in the sky and remember that we are just small people in big world and this planet will continue to turn itself even after us.
when I watch sky I see how much I am unimportant and I loose egocentrism very fast, it means I don't give a shit any more for any problem.
but I don't watch in sky so often, I should do it more:)

all of us come in such situation like you, just someone is shorter and someone longer in such situation.
I am also depressive but I think it is quite normal after I was 7 years hungry (but with place to sleep) and 6 and half years homeless. I will live shorter than other people, but at least I didn't finish in mental hospital like many young people in my city (we had war, economic inflation, etc). So I can conclude that I am depressive because I can't realize my needs in fucking capitalism. even stupid small things can't be realized when someone is homeless. already 2 months I try to register domain name, and other people realize such needs for 2 minutes. when it is so 13 years, then of course, person fall in depression. so, you must find way to realize your needs, whatever needs you have.

What in the name of god is this doing on the main politics forum?

[rednordman]

me too, not helped so farHate to say this, but i know from experience that too much alchohol does not work. cut down and you will most likely feel better, if only a little. It tends to make you feel like you have more control over things.

Also Jurko is spot on. Try and make it so you have no time to get depressed. Not as easy as it sounds, especially when you first start, but is pivotal within the long-run imo.

[BonnyPortmore]

thanks man

[F9]

Moved
Go out, make some friends, join a group, join a team, join an organization, its a shitty system, but there are still ways to enjoy your life, dont think to throw away something so valuable, and just enjoy it.And if communism makes you more depressed, then leave it for a bit.

[F9]

This is in chit-chat, but its serious, in the 1/100000 you were serious CJ, you should recheck your advices really.

[al8]

This is normal and you should make the best of it. Depression is a time of reassessment - thinking about the problem that ails you. It actually helps you fixate on your problem - so just wade through it and keep in mind that you have to be realistic, methodical, thoughtful. Depression has probably evolved in our species so we can't evade thinking about serious problems and finding solutions to them.

stop whining, life isn't fair.

[BonnyPortmore]

why dont they just stop whining.

[Pogue]

[BonnyPortmore]

thats more of a taboo than incest :)

[Andropov]

Can someone ban this troll please?

[BonnyPortmore]

How am i a troll because i said this was homophobic.





better prepared to meet this angle if and when it happens to them. Just as they removed
the volunteer's clothes, which symbolised a defence mechanism or natural barrier, so too
by passing derogatory remarks about the volunteer's sexual organs they attempt to
humiliate the volunteer and by so doing to weaken his will to resist. The mere act of
doing this has deeper undertones than one would guess. Volunteers should understand
that from a psychological point of view this act is called a penis complex. This complex
is inherent in the homosexual and although the interrogators themselves may be married
men with a family it indicates suppressed homosexual tendencies. When the volunteer
realises and understands this proven fact he should not have great difficulty in triumphing
over his interrogators. He should look upon them as homosexuals with the immunity of
the establishment, as people who become sadistic from the homosexual tendencies, which
underlie them.

drop the personal vendetta you dick.

How come this trolls post count is staying static and yet its posting continuously?
Admin or Mod invovlement possibly?

[Wanted Man]

Posts in this forum probably don't influence post count.

Why did you call me a buttocks?

[Jazzratt]

Why did you call me a buttocks?

Because it's a word with more than one meaning the intent of which can be picked up contextually, however as you're clearly too much of pillock to grasp this fundamental aspect of reading comprehension here is the definition with the sense I was using it in highlighted:


Prat
• noun informal 1 Brit. an incompetent or stupid person. 2 a person’s bottom.

[BonnyPortmore]

but you do seem like an ass aswell

[LeninBalls]

Yeah take that Jazzratt.

[BonnyPortmore]

i did not mean jazzarat was an ass, i meant rite boi
he just causes shit.

[LeninBalls]

i did not mean jazzarat was an ass, i meant rite boi

But you said as well, which implies both people in question are asses. Sincerest apologies for misunderstanding.

A bit harsh with such derogatory comments friend.
I dont see the need for such abusive phrases as "prat/buttocks" and "pillock".
I made a wrong assumption and wanted man corrected me.
TBH im not angry but a bit dissapointed by your posts today.
I hope we can overcome this torrent of abuse you have unleashed on me today.

[Andropov]

he just causes shit.
Causes shit?
So you dont defecate too?

How odd you seem to know my posting pattern after only joining recently?
Someone ban this obvious troll.

[BonnyPortmore]

I must be a troll, otherwise i would agree with whatever you say.
What a complete and utter fool.
Stop with the BS.

So its not odd at all that you seem to know my posting pattern when only joining in the past day or two?
Troll alert.

[BonnyPortmore]

i just looked at your threads on your statistics to see if your behaviour on this thread was a one off, turns out it was not.

Hahaha bullshit.
Such a coward you are having to hide behind this sockpuppet account.
At least I say what I have to straight out.
Troll.

This isn't a torrent of abuse. If you're intrested in what a torrent of abuse looks like you can read my posts elsewhere in the board.

[BonnyPortmore]

jazzarat can you ban this fool.

[Andropov]

Im not.

[Andropov]

Ok im done here.
When admins finally realise your a sockpuppet of some coward hiding behind this troll do feel free to address me with your real account.
Coward.

[BonnyPortmore]

what are you talking about you idiot

[Invincible Summer]

Oh dear. Perhaps this just needs to be closed?

Kidding, of course.
As to the OP, and I say this with all sincerity, revleft will only exacerbate the problem.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Life really is a fucked up nightmare, in my opinion. I'm suprised I can even drag my ass out of bed every morning. I just can't seem to fill the giant, howling existential void that is my existance, or shake the feeling that I'm just a decaying piece of inconsequential organic matter that's rotting away with every second that my earthly vessel is cursed to continue living.

So, in conclusion, cheer up!

[F9]

Omg, im really starting to regretting my first action dragging it here in chit-chat.People are using this forum as a piece of shit where they can troll as much as they want.Its fucking not.
Im closing this, it got waaaay out of hand.

[butterfly]

BonnyPortmore: I'm sorry to hear what you're going through. There's a non-neurotypical group on revleft that might offer some better advice and better yet forums dedicated to depression. Things would really suck if I hadn't sought medical help (psychotherapy) and started taking SSRI's.
