Self-Help Advice : Tips on How to Beat Depression

[ThisIsMe140693]

but if there's no reason for the depression, then you can't really put it on a list like if you have lost a loved one. There's nothing to write :S

[Shabz131]

'self-help'? and in the first sentence, go to the doctor..... thanks

I told some time ago a friend about my problem he ignored me or didnt hear ,so i said it again,he didnt say a word as if i had spoke nothing :( Told another person online they just walked away in a sense.I just need a friend.I no longer talk about or would dare to tell my few of friends for the reason of the same outcome I already kno wut theyd do,I never wanted this,no one likes me,I am the anti social insect the world made me.

Depression spells are available. Talk to merujhaspell on face book

[WhatTheCool]

No one cares. I guess I'm screwed.

If I would give any advice to people out there it would be this. Between the age of 11 and 18 try your hardest, no matter what, to socialize to the fullest extent that you can. If you become isolated, and introverted in those years, and don't achieve any life experience once you fall into deep and dark depression from 18 into adulthood you will feel you have nothing to draw upon to give you strength. It's hardest for people who are totally alone to beat depression, so try your best in your youth

[ColdJoeBlack]

what if am alone ?

[XChildGoddessX]

This is actually true,

I thought my Bf was there and now I'm depressed, he says I'm too much and is fed up with me. So much for a person who says they care.

[razban01]

Thanks. These are helpful advices.

Some times loss of job is what create situational depression. As unemployment lingers, then there is a visious cycle of depression that prevents the person from even seeking a job. A sudden job loss can be a serious trigger for inducing depression. Please see "Layoffs and Hope".

I found the advice here, which came from years of excellent experience helpful and heart-warming.

[theresar7]

Depression is very real when you have lost your whole entire family. The only hope is God the friends you make and your friends families. And your church family who love you.

[MrSolmon123]

There's a small and excellent online depression support group called Depression Hangout that is always open to anyone who is struggling with mental health problems (not just depression). It's run in its own chaotic way by its members who meet regularly in the chat room and it's a great place to seek and provide help and support, make new friends and even just have a laugh. (We all need that too!) To join just go to depressionhangout-dot-blogspot­-dot-com.

I think medication puts a band aid on a lot of problems today, the quick fix is not working to well it seems.

[zuhane]

@iRaNTxX

That's nice to say to someone offering free advice to people suffering from a life-destroying illness.

[iRaNTxX]

@zuhane although i am in depression, and the things she says have no meaning to anyone in depression if you haven't been in depression shut the fuck up then.

[zuhane]

@iRaNTxX

I also have depression. It's not really an excuse to speak to people like dirt, though.

[zuhane]

@iRaNTxX

First of all, you should stop putting negative energy out into the world. Getting angry won't help you at all, and doesn't really bother or hurt me whatsoever. I've also suffered from depression, but it's not an excuse to speak to people like that. Try being nicer to people. It might help :)

[TheAngryAtheist666]

Heavy metal music and "violent" video games help me most of the time. I will not become Dependant on drugs. I will NOT kill myself. I will not turn to false idols or any religion. I will deal with it my own non-drugged up way.

[TheDescentJatt]

i feel like extra load on this planet earth.my life is worthless.i think nobody likes me,nobody cares about me.i keep hiding in my room thinking n thinking and daydreaming a lot.i lost interest in things i used to like.i hide everything of mine from others my feelings,problems everything.i suffer from social anxiety too.nothing good is happening to me.save me!!

[christianf21]

I need help...i need someone to speak to..i feel trapped in depression and got no one to speak to...please...

[emma1009]

depression is demonic, possessed, cruel, damned illness, god even doesn't know how terrifying suffer i contain, no one will know, because it eats me from the inside, the only thing people will know is how ugly my corps remain after depression will kill me, not much time left for me, i know the truth, that illness miserable me to death

[Quantumew]

This is the one video that low view numbers is good

[clickswitchh]

those are terrible tips ... jesus

[Jessecraft1954]

One of the things that really helps when depressed is to realize the present feelings are being influenced by the depression, which makes things seem worse that they may be. Another thing is to avoid being self focused, but looking at others in order to keep things in perspective. There always others who are going through things sometimes greater than the things we are going through. Eat healthy, avoid sugar and alcohol. Go outside. Distract yourself with other things. A good shower. 

[snizzle515151]

@Jessecraft1954 I totally agree.

[Jessecraft1954]

@snizzle515151 Thank you!

[Flluffums]

I have depression... It keeps me up at night, keeps me behind my school work. Sometimes I just feel like I will be better off dead...

[snizzle515151]

@Flluffums of course you wouldn't sweetie...don't give up.I promise things will get better, you may fee like your not coping but your still here so it shows how strong you are.You need to get to your doctor if you havent already.Never give up! most depression clears itself up naturally within a few months at most xx

[gcboyallday]

dont take medicine from doctors...thats not the way to fix depression. YOU must defeat your depression by yourself and it CAN happen. anybody can do it!

[NataschaO]

May God help all those struck with depression, `cause this lady sure won`t.

[CelticReject]

I think youre talking about sadness, not depression. Anyone would be sad if they'd lost a loved one. But a depressive person can feel like slitting their wrists EVEN THOUGH they have NOTHING to be depressed about. And looses all love for everything. Mainly themselves.

[ro332]

Well said, Emily.

[kingcarcas1349]

Nice! lol

[sakinehbs]

She is helping by just making this video for you. there are some people who helps others , i''m one of them.

[mcreary91]

ha, yeah right friends, I have no friends to help me, or any girlfriend. People are cruel and they just don't care, NO ONE cares in this world about anyone.

[lFakeCash]

me neither ;[

[sakinehbs]

that is not true ,i do care about others alot. i help every one that needs help.

[johnnyXsniper]

a lot of it is about changing ur mind set and helping urself. by the sounds of it ur having a real shit time of things, but u have to look past it and onto the other aspects in life, until ur ready to do that, ur not guna progress.

[altamuramarc]

all these videos, and none of them really help.

[GeminiNightOwl]

I think the method makes sense - however all drugs have side effects and some people can overcome their depression without medication. Counseling and support mean so much, and also writing down your thoughts, as well as your positives and negatives. Trying to be positive helps also, because when all you do is dwell on your depression, your world becomes smaller and smaller. I've been there and my heart goes out to everyone battling this monster. Good luck to everyone...

[Rapist87]

I've been depressed since I was born - It's called life. Just keep going. Never quit. Try to do as much of what you love as possible. One day it will all be over. That's it. Peace

[xaoife07x]

@Rapist87 ;

Since you were born? nah thats not depression, the downs in life and depression are so so different.

[gotholofernes]

OMG, look what happened to Baby Jane!

[amurakas]

But what to do, when you try to get out of the bed, try to do smth, but it feels that you become more stressed

[lexondray]

You're talking about feelings not depression. Depression is like cancer, will writing things down cure cancer? The feelings of depression are a symptom, not the disease.

[kingdom2505]

I agree

[Beanies91]

The point of this strategy is to identify things that may contribute to the person feeling depressed, it's not to cure the person, it's all part of progress.

[swastedcat]

Vilift is the best pill ever, i love it so much and no side effects at all.

[ColdWhiteSnow]

All pill's have side effects.

[descanter]

I'm cynical to a certain extent.

What should an impoverished people say, "omg...there is no food for the children...or health care"

BUT, HEY,

"on the positive side, we will get really thin and if death occurs, that is sooooo great..."

[EmilyyCecile]

people don't realize how much it eats at a person, you feel incapable of so much, and lose the capability to do what you once were able to do, you begin to not care.

[Tamagumo]

did you overcome depression ?

[IAMATROLLs]

@EmilyyCecile i know...

[brucinda01]

@EmilyyCecile God,i agree with your comment so much.I live with depression and it is a debilitating disease. Some days, it's a fight just to carry on. People under estimate it.

[vcoonrod]

She takes a lot for granted - asking a depressed person to do too much.

[OutOnBailNow]

@vcoonrod Yes remedies like this only work in mild to moderate depressions. Sadly many people are too down that they dont have the motivational energy or the concentration to be able to put pen to paper.

[chaz83tay]

@vcoonrod Lol...your comment made me laugh, its true though aint it....
