I'm suffering from depression....?!
Question: I've already tried to kill myself a few times but I hate it, does anyone have any ideas on trying to battle it?
I can't talk to a counseller, I have trouble talking to strangers and even the people I do love...

there are a few things you can do to help yourself feel better even if its just a little bit...
eating fish and eggs seem to help for some weird reason.
exercising especially first thing in the morning, even if its just a little bit and do it outside with the fresh air and the sunlight if possible...as long as you get your heart pumping for a bit itll really help to clear the fog and get rid of some of the fatigue that comes along with it. its hard to get started doing it but its really really helpful and it becomes kind of addictive after a while.
work therapy...what gives you a sense of accomplishment. if its a craft or a job or trying to help people out on the internet (hah!) ...even if its just some cleaning or something that youve been meaning to do. feeling and being productive is one of the best things for depression.
those new natural sunlight light bulbs. its weird but it makes sense and it makes a huge difference at night when depression usually seems like it gets worse. you should be able to find them at lowes or home depot.
cold/cool showers...weird i know but they help bring you out of your fog...its uncomfortable but its worth it to me. make sure to warm up afterward
its really difficult to separate your own natural non-depressed thoughts and feelings from the thoughts and feelings that being depressed can cause you to have.
depression can a lot of times seem to bury you to the point where its hard to even recognize yourself underneath it all, but its important to find that line again, to do your best to separate yourself from it, because its no more a part of you than any other sickness might be, and it in NO way defines who you are. its an illness and an impostor, and one of the hardest kinds to get rid of because makes you feel hopeless and all you want to do is give up.
But, probably without you even realizing it, youve become stronger than everyone else in a sense that youve hit rock bottom...the lowest you can feel. lower than what any healthy person ever feels. and its a long way back up but youre the one whos strong enough for it now BECAUSE you know how it feels to be at the bottom of everything and you know now that no matter what happens and no matter what set-backs you have from here on out itll never be worse than what youve just experienced. and youve survived it, youve pulled through rock bottom and now youre seeking advice, and communicating your concerns...youre finding a way out of this mess...
honestly for me all any of the other things did was give me just a little breathing room from the depression...just enough to be able to tell whats actually me and what the depression is making me feel or think...i had to do all the rest of the work...
i really really recommend going to this site:

it changed the way i look at depression and really helped me so much more than pills did
its a long hard frustraiting fight, and it seems so easy to give up sometimes, but its not, and i think you already know that...i know you can pull out of it...if i did, you can.
if you need you can email me at cori.is.lovelee@gmail.com

you have to get over not talking to strangers (counselors) they are the only ones who can help you help yourself. you need to that and get on an antidepressant. Take these steps to change your life NOW... why wait and continue to suffer?! Theres more to life than feeling like **** 24/7

mail me at purplepixie1993@yahoo.com i'm goin through same exat thing
have you tried mugwort or St John's wort herb? if you were ever sexually abused it is not your fault, and you are not gay because you couldn't defend yourself-- if that's the case, your loved ones will rather hear you than see you expired, calling a suicide hot line is not talking to a counsellor face to face, i pray you find the help you need
See a doctor. You may just need some anti depressants. Killing yourself would be a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
chant these words -nam myoho renge kyo, u wont feel this way ever.
and dont suffer alone,discuss it with your loved ones...u need help and u have to ask for it...

hi captain obvious
i dont why u tried to kill urself, all i know is that whatever happens in life is for the good and no one else but u urslef have to face ur life so be a real captain and i'm sure captain u'll be the best on ur life, chill out ,meet people , travel, see ur loved ones ... i'm sure their sad faces depress u but go put a smile and meet them and the how the cheer will spread on their face too.. try it out if this sounds junk then think for 15 sec about those who love u... and this wont be junk if try to live for others as well.
Take a deep breath... count 1-10... and pray to god. that always help me. anyway... throw away all those dark thoughts of killing yourself. not only it hurt you but it also hurt your loved ones. last but not least, smile always. and hey, laughter is the best medicine!
