Lonliness, Depression and Suicide! Ever Felt it!? (It's A LIE!!!)

Depression is a form of prolonged sadness. When you remain sad for a long period of time and do not experience any joy in the activities which normally used to give you joy...You might be depressed.

There is only one magical way to get rid of depression in a second...And that is-

DO SOMETHING GOOD/HELPFUL FOR A PERSON WHO TRULY NEEDS IT.

The down feeling will vanish in seconds.

Coming from a family of depressed people I can tell you some of it is normal. Sometimes if we do nothing about it , the depression takes over life. Soon it becomes normal to feel that way. The best thing to do is turn the dark into light. Open the curtains let the light in. Go outside- take a walk. Do something , anything but move. Your mind needs stimulation. If the feeling is still there pick up the phone and call for help. Talk to a friend, talk to a doctor, call a hotline. Do not give up! Hell call me -do something to help yourself !

It's true. Depression can be very prevalent in our society.
I've been watching developments on this subject for some time. I notice that whenever someone seeks help it most always comes in the form of drugs or talk.

I can understand drugs for severe cases but more talk sounds pretty lame given the scope of this feeling we call depression.

For the last ten years I've been perfecting an online "machine" that delivers a result that has never been thought of before. It's based on a discovery that I will be revealing very soon on the web. (In about 2 weeks)

If you'd like to know more about it you can just PM me and I'll put you on the notification list. I'll be offering time in my machine. You get a result and I get a good friend.

It's not for sale.

I do feel depressed sometimes. But every time I feel that way, I try to talk to someone and tell the person about. It helps. Also, when I'm lonely I go out and surround myself with friends. Do try it. And you need to look at the bottom of your depression: why you feel that way. Seek help.

Depression means different things to different people. Finding someone to assist with an approach that is specific and particular to you is important. You are the expert in your own life and sometimes it helps to have someone help you uncover the skills, abilities, beliefs and values you have lost or forgotten.

I'm pretty sure I have depression. That guys description of what it feels like to want to commit suicide is very accurate, I have felt like that I few times but never had the guts to follow through. I don't think clinical depression just goes away, you need to do something about it. See a therapist, or get some type of medication, or at least buy a self help book.

Someone JUST told me that no one understands what I wrote in here, and said that everyone is responding to me, but doesn't understand what i said....they also said that THEY didn't get what i said either.



That person is my mentor.

P.S.


I don't want to deal with "depression". I want it to end, or I will end.

I'm sorry to hear about your condition Acrasial. Remember, if you're going through hell, keep going.

I'm going to suggest something that, on the surface, may seem relatively unproductive. However, I promise you this is something I've personally used to help conquer mental innless and it most definitely does work. Actually, at this moment in time, this is the most valuable information I can share with you. So please don't be fooled by its' simplicity as it's very effective in practice.

I want you to be open to the possibility that your illness is something positive. Something good, not bad. Something that you'll eventually look back on say "I'm glad that happened, because __________________." (If you can't think of anything right now, that's OK, because I'm going to give you a hand.)

Here are 3 of the most important things that I, personally, have experienced because of mental illness.

1) Becoming emotionally and mentally stronger
2) Being more appreciative and grateful
3) Rejuvenating my relationship with God
4) Strengthening my Family relationships
5) Being more kind and humble

Now it's your turn. All you have to do is write down the following quotation.

"Every adversity, every failure, and every heartache carries with it the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit."~~Napoleon Hill, Think & Grow Rich

Then, as they come to you, write down any and all of your seeds of equivalent or greater benefit. Start with what's most important to you.

(If you're having trouble coming up with them give it time. Sometimes you have to feed and nurture your seeds before they bloom ...)

I recommend my personal development students to write down our quotation on 2 cards and keep one in their purse or wallet and the other one where they'll see it every night and every morning. Then, to let the benefits come to the surface of their consciousness, and to write them down.

So that's something you can do right now. And, if you would ever like more advice or have any questions then feel free to contact me any time. Oh and here's something else that I think you'll definitely like.

a place called zero
(It's about a man in a similar situation as yourself.)

Acrasial,
For me...I KNOW there will be another day tomorrow so, I CAN handle today no matter how difficult because I will have one more chance to have a better day tomorrow.
I might have to just get through one more hour or just 10 more minutes to relax through it all, for like the sun always will rise again, tomorrow will come again.
Unless one experiences the Darkness they can't really know of it.
AND they care for you so, listen up to your friends here.

Do SOMETHING anything to stay active.
Sitting around idle give our minds too much time to mess with us.

For me certain foods activate/increase issues.
Like staying clear of artificial sweeteners,garbage junk foods,etc
Eating more naturally helps.less packaged processed crap
Wheat is not good for me and also corn stuff like chips

I've said it before here and will offer it up again, research Russian 'Cold Water therapy'
It will shock you into a 'neutral' state and give you time to think clearer.
Some claim health benefits too.
I just know, for me, it works, and even better in winter when it is Really cold.
It's fun too, wondering about the neighbors, thinking about "what is with that nut next door"?
rent some comedies, search on Youtube for a giggle or two.
here;s a link to give you an idea the Cold Water deal.
Cold Water Therapy
It is not painful in any way, just cold
I've easily done in in winter of around zero degrees.
You'll find doing this will eliminate any poor feelings at least for a while. then plan something different, find and do something you're passionate about. Maybe sing along with a tune.
Look I am no doctor so, investigate on your own OK?Not prescribing, This has just helped me.
It is done 2x a day and it is a good training for building determination/motivation.
In fact I normally don't need it in summer so, with today's first snow of the season, it is time to clean out my bucket and get at it again!

John

You have great offers of help here,heed some and find what is best for YOU.

Wont go into to much detail, for sure have contemplated my existence!

I suffered with major depression up until January this year ( 2013 )

If any of my fellow warriors are feeling like this please consider taking reishi mushroom.

It truly cleared up all my depression with lasting effects, haven't suffered since I stopped taking it back in January. Truly remarkable stuff!

This is very true. When people are suicidal they don't actually want to die and are still afraid of death. They just feel trapped and can't figure out or foresee a way out of their pain except for that one escape hatch. They feel like they have no choice.

The only time that I ever felt truly serious about considering suicide and thinking about plans for it, even researching the possibility of getting life insurance and making it look like an accident and researching ways to die etc, that was exactly how I felt. I didn't want to die at all, I only felt like my mind was so ruined and damaged that I had no choice. What I really wanted was just to fix it though it felt like that would be impossible and my only choices would be to live feeling that way or not live. I remember even being in the shower and crying about how I didn't want to die, though I felt I had to cause nothing could reverse things.

It took 3 weeks to finally come out of it and start to feel hope to feel good again.

It is a hopelessness. Not a loss of hope in circumstances or external things. A loss of hope in the ability of ever feeling good again internally.

When you're deeply in that state you can't see anything beyond it or outside of it. It creates an illusion of permanence as you can't conceive how you could feel differently ever cause of x,y or z thing, cause of things you think you can't change. That's what causes the hopelessness feeling. And yes it is an illusion! If it lasts too long then you are in danger of buying into that lie and believing it.

I've battled ADD and severe OCD for a very long time. Though despite the lack of hope of ever not having to battle it cause there is no cure at all and treatment even helps only slightly in managing it, what makes it livable are all the ups and downs. That there are still positive feelings and moments in between all the rest.

If someone is in a severe dark state they can't get a break from or ever feel good, then I understand the hopelessness that would cause.


No, it can go away and has for many people. It usually doesn't go away on it's own though. You have to correct the cause of it, which can be difficult or complex.

Not that you'll ever never feel bad or pain again, as that is life, up and down. Though you can get to a healthy state of being able to feel good and have ups and downs and accept them, instead of being constantly stuck in the down state.

There are many different treatments people with depression can try, what works best for someone probably has to do with what is causing their particular form of depression. There are many causes and types of depression. Sometimes it is all mostly chemical or hormonal, and other times it is from trauma and experiences or habituated negative intrusive thoughts etc.

Treatments have improved a lot and new studies are being done all the time.

There is also rTMS therapy for treatment resistant depression that recently has had studies completed to show how it's effects are long lasting.

On a physical level, they're finding things they never knew before, like a strong link between inflammation and depression as a major cause of depression.

Here are some good links:

Cytokines and majo... [Prog Neuropsychopharmacol Biol Psychiatry. 2005] - PubMed - NCBI

http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/...s-civilization

The link to inflamation seems strong to me. Though the causes of inflamation can be many, so it's still complex to find, and difficult to stick to such high standards of diet etc. Though if diabetics have to have that sort of discipline to control their disorder, then why not people with mental illness?

As far as cognitively, it's always best to see a good professional to help with ones individual cognitive issues and be able to talk about it. Though a book that is very good I think is one called The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris. It is based on ACT (Acceptance Commiment Therapy) that is based around mindfulness.

The Happiness Trap | Stop Struggling Start Living by Dr Russ Harris

Yeah people are afraid to die they just want to commit suicide its because they want to end their problems they think that no cares for them and they think no one else can handle their own problems. But try to think of it before committing a suicide that will come into your mind you should first seek some guidance to your friends, family's, relatives or in case they are your enemies and they abandoned you try to go to your church or parishioners to seek some guidance and I know they will understand you and they will help you to solved your problems.

well seems the op has not posted in nearly 3 years and this is a necro post
