Depression today..

Discussion in 'Loneliness' started by Deleted Account, Aug 9, 2020.

  1. Hey everyone.

    I got a little bit of a depression episode today. Not sure really what to do except watch something on youtube or a movie. Or whatever. My out look on my life just seems dim right now. I'm doing whatever I can right now to make my habits better. I'm going to take a bath and just rest the rest of the afternoon. Hopefully this will help me. But I'm just wondering if anyone else experiences this or has the same problem?

    I absolutely hate it but it just hits me. My thoughts aren't suicidal or anything its just a extremely low feeling.
     
  2. Somethings you can do about it:

    - Make yourself understand that depression is a passenger feeling;
    - Go out for a walk, the fog created by depression will disappear along the physical exercise;
    - Remember one thing: everyone has good and bad days, that is something normal.
    - The best remedy to avoid/cure depression is self-confidence.
     
  3. I felt that way yesterday. Stayed in bed forever.. it will pass though! Today I feel so much better and actually alive
     
  4. It's been especially heightened by the lockdown. No distractions.
    I have been healing from a huge anxiety attack I suffered in Feb, then lockdown happened. Very sad story.

    Pray if you can. And always remember, the force of good is on your side

  5. Hey dude, i am coming from a moderate depression, which i had a few years. All in all my bad habits made it more worse. Nowadays i had some bad day, where it comes back sometimes, mostly when i did some bad shit for my body and my soul (drinking alcohol, gambling, no sport, too much negative thinking about other people, no gratefullness of the small things etc). In these times you have to be aware of your feelings and they will go away soon. Honestly after bad periods nowadays i will beome stronger out of it and i am more aware of the bad habits i did before. Be every morning aware of the good things you have in your life, great days will come soon <3

  6. It is completely normal. You dont need to do anything when you feel that way really. That is the purpose of Nofap. Observe your feelings and realize that you are not a slave of your emotions.

    I suffer from depression; I have had it for 16 years. I take medication for it, but that doesn't take away all of the depressive thoughts. It doesn't cure depression, in other words. Sometimes I feel like I'm the biggest failure in the world. I feel as though everything I try to do will come up short and there's no way to feel happy. I do have things in my life that make me happy, like video games, but even then, it's only temporary.

    Just try to be the best version of yourself you can be. Even if you fail at something 100 times, you can always try again. Every day that you experience is a blessing, so make the most of it.:)

    Sometimes I feel depressed because the fate of us are already destined by god. Yes we have so many choices in life, but in the end you will only go down one path which will then leads to the inevitable death, and after that nobody knows what will happen, but I guess we are just going to be in a state of deep sleeping with no dreams.

    Why does life exist in the first place? We're a bunch of cells that are made up of dead stuff. Literally something moving and with consciousness out of a pile of "dead" elements (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, etc.) Maybe everything is a dream, I don't know

    I feel low like that quite a bit. Like you say, not suicidal, but melancholy about life. What I want and what I’m missing. That type of thing. I spent all day trying to think positive thoughts. It’s hard to do. Our real thoughts can’t be suppressed all the time. We need to feel that pain to move through it. But indeed...it’s depressing.

  10. Try writing a gratitude list. I know some people with pretty severe traumas that did it. Two girls. They wrote down 5 things they are grateful for every day for more than a year. It changed their lives eventually.

    I felt that too, I have been questioning about life recently. Trying to stay positive but negative thought hits me constantly.

    Can someone give me tips to stop masturbating and stay committed? I guess loneliness really gave me those urges and temptation to do it. I have never been in a relationship and I don't have a really close pal to talk about it, perhaps those are the reasons of causing me to feel lonely. Each time I relapsed, I feel depressed and even made me feel lonely. The problem is, I already know the consequences of doing it, but I kept doing it, I just can't help with it.

  13. Some tips to get you started:

    1. Take it one day, one hour or even one minute at a time

    2. Try to stay busy

    3. Work out, meditate, read. Get some hobbies related to any of these like martial arts, jogging group etc.

    4. Cold shower

    5. Read the porn trap

    6. Move your furniture around or install a porn blocker.

    The most important point is that you just get started. Can you commit 100% for just 3 days? Making it 3 days is the first and most important step. If you can make it 3 days then just keep pushing on from there.

    I get that too periodically. Sometimes its heightened and then I feel really worthless and miserable and othertimes its just exists and leaves me unmotivated and Ansocially unavailable.
    I really can relate to the random depressive states which happen for really no distinct reason, but what I personally did that worked for me and perhaps could work for you too was self awareness.
    Most of the time it was my subconscious mind causing my lil problem and just because I didn't pay so much attention to my self most times I'd end up like that.
    Anything from that lil grudge I held on to, or that insecurity thought that crept in that tried to make me feel like a misfit, or comparing myself to others and just criticising myself for not meeting up with ARTIFICIAL standards I set up in my head caused a lot of my depression because most of the time I'd try to ignore these feeling but they get processed over and over .
    Um, I could recall losing clarity because my head would sometimes get fuzzy and that was it, I would hit the depressive state because I couldn't really tell what was going on. It took me quite sometime to understand myself and not run away from these thought but rather process them and make evaluations. Most of which were just having a positive outlook and loving myself regardless, because there was no way I'd give anybody love or care or whatever if I had none. It was a conscious decision to be happy and not run away from my thoughts and that changed a lot.

    It is just temporary. Maybe you should give yourself a rest, and then try to find a new hobby or something
