he is doing so much better! he's doing better in school and is really following his passions like music. its great to hear, but its also great to know that with a bit of help from people, we can make a big difference in people's lives :)
yeah, but he needs help. have you ever been through depression, you will say yeah but you probably haven't. when i was 6 i was diagnosed and i still get it and when i see comment like yours it makes me want to cry, its not yeah depression on get over it, i can't get passed level 4. think of what you are going to say before you do. its not easy to cope with it and tipping it over the edge is somewhat never out your head, so grow up you imature bastard. he is trying to help his friend, unlike you
I understand completely and I have to say that life gets SO much better. I'm 22 now and glad I didn't give up on life when I was younger. You aren't alone! Take care my friend!
I felt someone pull me out of this quicksand, washed my eyes and then I saw Him, it was JESUS, I thought "man! He must be angry after me?" and He answered (HE HEARD MY THOUGHT BECAUSE I NEVER SAID IT OUTLOUD) " I'm not angry, I am disapointed in your lack of faith, now do you believe?"
and I said yes, and I was back home instantly, and I have to add that His whole person was like an open book, I could know everything of him (that He wanted to show) and HE WAS THE REAL THING DIED & RESURECTION...
I can't make a video but, I have to tell U what I experienced when I was 19 now 45 years young, at 19 I wanted to end my life, and no joke I was doing it, but before, I ask outloud to the Universe,"if we live, suffer&die for no purpose, my life ends here, but if there is a purpose for all of our suffering, then show me that you exist (God) or else I kill myself", then I experienced a vision where I plunged into quicksand to die and someone pulled me out...FALLOW ON NEXT COMMENT
Depression is a dark hole that is really hard to get out of sometimes. Dan is a great friend who cares so much for you that he has asked me and a bunch of others for help. Thats really what its all about. We all need help and give help at some point. Appreciate your friend, Dan. Love yourself; but if not, love someone else. :)
and just remember YOU ARE NOT ALONE on this, people have sometiems as worse conditions, but sometimes people have problems with making small decisions which is an indescribable feeling of depression, i have had a problem liek this...and i am just getting on with this life, using the easy path, and not being so harsh on my health...and not pannicing about my health...do everything in small quantities ...god bless u bud...
and most of all, remember, you are not alone... dnt put too much pressure on urself...love urself for who u are, and take challenges, which you think u couldnt have done..beleive in urself...U ARE UNIQUE..U ARE THE ONLY U there is in this existence...
socialize even if you feel very very low energy inside of you...Tkae part is some sports, try taking challenges...its never never never to late for anything, you can do what you want in this powerful life. Just rememebr that god is the only thing that exists, and we are god exploring godself, yet we are not the creator, but are extensions of this supreme being...u gotta be strong, and beat the compeitition...
People sometimes have conditions where they have low energy fields. Do not worry about anything you have done in the past or feel regretful. Move on, play and take interests in sports, be creative...you are part of THE ULTIAMTE REALITY...LIFE, GODS PLAY...we are all one...Dude, stay strong, may the high spirits be WITHIN you.
Life is a game...God is everywhere and inside of us aswell as outside...Everything is GOD. Life and every existence as you know it is GOD exploring GODSELF.. There are many many nether worlds upon worlds which we dont know of. Life is also a GAME. be nice to people, but beat out the competition!
he got even more depressed cuz now she was dead and he had to go back with living with his dad. He made a bulletin saying that he was gonna kill himself. i tried to convince him not to. but he did anyway.
this made me realize that killing yourself is just plain selfish. you hurt not only yourself, but everyone who loves you. and the people that don't even know you. your death affects more than just yourself.
Next, there was Billy. He was the boyfriend of one of my friends. His dad abused him too and he came from a shitty family as well. His brother john died of a drug overdose and his mom killed herself cause she got fucking depressed over it. billy became emo and nobody really liked him so my friend asked me to add him on myspace. i found out he was a really sweet guy and one night he posted that his gramma died. she was like the only person who understood him.
First off, Jessica was 17 and living with her dad in Sweden. I met her online and found out that her dad was abusive and beat her till the point where she was sick and dying. She went to the hospital so many times and there was one doctor who always treated her- paid off by her dad to never tell about the abuse. She made a post on her blog that she was in the hospital after another one of her dad's beatings and she wasn't going to make it. i miss her every fucking day.
Hello. I wish I could make a video, but I can't. I hope that with time, your pain has left. If it hasn't just think of all the kids that waste their lives and throw it away because of their self pity. I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm insulting you, that's the last thing anyone whose depressed wants to hear. I'd like to tell you about two of my friends, Billy and Jessica.
although people can be mean sometimes, most of us will try to help u if we know ur in trouble. talk to ur friends and do something that makes u happy, something out of the ordinary.
i can't make a video and i'm not one with words. but i do care about what happens to him and he should be grateful for a friend like u who cares enough about him to do something like this. michael there are people out there going through the same thing, it helps if u think of all the happy moments in ur life and charish those who treat u well.
It's normal to feel pain & hurt & be depressed having been picked on by peers & let down by your parents. Getting through this WILL make you stronger. You won't always be around these hateful people in school, & if your parents don't shape up, you can choose a new family of your own (friends) once you're free of them. Things will eventually change for you. You have to faith that your life has purpose. But if you give up, you'll never know what that is.
Imagine yourself floating on a raft in a ocean, being rocked by the waves. No matter how deep the trough you fall in, know that the next wave will lift you up. Learn to ride atop the waves while paddling toward calmer waters. Things will not always seem as intense as they do right now. View each new day as one of promise, because that is what they truly are; nobody ever knows for sure what tomorrow will bring.
Talk to people about what you're going through. Talk to friends, to family, to internet acquaintances, to your school counselor, to anybody that will listen. Suffering in silence makes the cancer grow while you are left to wither. You're too young to not experience all the wonderful things life & growing old can offer. Learn patience. Meditate. Find things to constructively preoccupy yourself.
I'd love to help me own father suffered depression at the worst levels and I really know what it means...I actually had to be his father... I hope he gets well soon I'm grabbing my cam right now and see if it still works...
There are people out there that every reason to be depressed. The key is to find those who have it worse then you. And then see if you even have a reason to be depressed.
Smile man. Life is what you make it.....
It's all about choice. We all could share our support but it won't do a lick of good if they want to be depressed. Keep on truckin.
there is no right or wrong. it's all interpretive. b'sides, the film's kinda pretentious. are you speaking for yourself? does your friend really exist? b'cause the "film" lacks sincerity or . . . gravity. either way, there's beauty in ev'ry emotion. best of luck with your experiment.
there are several options which may at first seem hopeless for curing the melancholy vein. first & the worst is professional help. "A schizophrenic out for a walk is a better model than a neurotic lying on the analyst's couch," wrote Gilles Deleuze. A psychiatrist will become the dopeman & the psychoanalyst the warden, either way you become a slave to someone else's standard for a solution. (p.1)
. Being active & creative will never hurt as much. Keeping busy with any menial jobs, chores, or affairs; being creative through any vein accessible, whether it be art, music, writing, acting, film, photography, dancing--any form of expression, really; & exercise may boost your mood by getting the blood to circulate through that clouded cranium. (p.2)
of course, when one is depressed you've really gotta force yourself to commit to any of these things, but as long as you've got friends to support you & help push yourself in the right direction things are sure to get better. but misery shall return as it always does if you don't know how to work with it & against it. the battle can only be faught fair if you learn to accept yourself, respect yourself--flaws & all, & not be afraid of criticism from yourself & others. (p.3)
. continue being a friend, try doing something wild, & be wary of all advice (including the one above). choose for yourself. you'll know the way you need to go. don't be afraid of your own self-worth.
(p.4)
... pardon the four part response but one has only 500 characters to post one!)
I would love to help. But first I need to know why he is depressed. How can we know what he is going through specifically if you will not tell us? Are we supposed to just guess? With understanding comes help. But not the other way around. We can not help unless we have specifics.
he has been an outkast all his life...he feels alone and doesn't elieve there is anyone out there that cares for him, not even his own parents. he's been having troubles with peers at his school and is finally on the breaking point.
Well I have been through the exact same thing. My advice is, he needs to talk to his parents, and the school authorities. It is not too late. If the situation does not improve then, maybe his family should consider relocating ASAP. The best of luck,
It is far better to be alone and lonely that to not be alone and lonely. Start a "love fest" for you..by you! Spoil yourself with self love. Too many people are trying too hard to impress people they don't even respect. Until the good people come along (and they will), just love yourself and KNOW you are worth it!
Michael, I'm totally aware that depression is a difficult thing to deal with. However, there are numerous treatments available, and going for psychological help will definitely allow you to feel better.
You mean a lot to so many people and we all wish you the best. You have a bright future in store and I'm certain that you will be able to lead a great life! Best of luck with everything.
I may not know you, but I do know what you're going through. I've always thought that I don't fit in. I was teased alot when I was little. I took some counseling. I think it really helped. I still get depressed and have suicidal thoughts, but I now know that it's alright to feel that way, so long as I still have happy moments. I would suggest counseling. It seriously helped. =)
Michael... I've never actual suffered from depression but I have had known many ppl who have and have made that decision to do the wrong thing. Dont do it. U will be missed by soooo many ppl just stick through TRUST ME life will get better :)
And now....
Dan. I have gained soooo much respect for you :) this has showed how good of a friend you are and how you will do anything for your friends. Message me or something I would love to chat it up with you
Thanks for this video!

unloved children seek warmth and love in their own genitals. They get addicted to masturbation and depressed.
The cure for depression is 6-8 weeks
without sex.
Epidemy of depressions is just as old as a notion that masturbation is healthy.
