[SRS] Depression Discussion and Support Thread Part III

[phikappa]

I've been listening to the Tony Robbins podcast lately and thought this one was really good (or that many of you may benefit from). He's doing a series of 10 special podcasts and so far they're all good, so I encourage you to listen to more than just this one.

They all start the same way with Tony saying, "Every challenge that has ever been brought to me has made me more..." I always get inspired when I hear him say that.

I've recently conquered depression and anxiety, so I hope to post more here. But give this (and other podcasts/vids) a try for now.

Congrats man, depression and anxiety are a hard thing to overcome. I'm still working on that. Can you find the podcasts on itunes?

Yeah, just search for 'The Tony Robbins podcast'.

I like some of his other podcasts, but this series of 10 are a cohesive unit, so it's more organized and more thought has gone into it.

[sandman2019]

i raelly need to sotp feeling sorry formyself but can't help it
what can i do brahs?

[eod8989]

Even when i try to talk to people like at work someone else jumps in and tries to talk over me. Happens every time. There's just nothing you can do man. Since people are more social than me and already have friends i never get a fuking chance.

There's always that loud mouth that shows up and ruins everything.

[FrankCostanza]

Whatever you’re going through, just remember-life can and most likely will get better. Focus on the positive and and try and work through your issues.

Life was really hard for me for several years and even now I still have hard times, but life has gotten better especially mentally.

Or, you could encourage their opinions and put the focus on them instead of yourself.

The more you focus on a particular outcome, the further you'll move from it. Help others and you'll help yourself.

Another Friday night home alone with nothing to do. Such a pathetic miserable life.

Another Friday night home alone with nothing to do. Such a pathetic miserable life.

I just worked 15 hours in the last 24 & now I’m home & exhausted. Than I have to go back to work tomorrow for another 7 hours. Life just sucks man. I don’t know how people do this their whole lives of putting up with work for decades straight. It just feels like a waste of life being forced to work.

Working is what caused my mental problems and most of my depression. I don't know how people can cope when everything is based on capitalism and you have to do the same mundane tasks all day. It's ridiculous. It's hard to get a raise too. Brb work somewhere for 10 years and get like $3 raise lol

[sandman2019]

anyone else struggle with self hatred?
I bully and beat myself all the time
there are so many reasosn why i hate myself

made so many bad decisions, stuffed up good things. I hate livinng with myself hate the decisions and mistakes i ma.de yes life is al earning experience but i ****ed up so much

[HoustonMiscer]

i don't know what's wrong with me. i have a difficult time remembering things sometimes, like short term memory loss or something. i feel retarded as fuk and dumb when it happens too. it's been a problem my whole life, i just always thought i was dumber than the average person. sometimes when someone is telling me something it takes a while to register. i feel so ashamed and stupid when this happens. am i retarded?

[Drose101]

To anyone stuck in their head and feeling like chit, read this book, helped me the most with depression + inspired me.
book will help you get out of your head so you can start connecting with people, or just help you clear your headspace

Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender – by David R. Hawkins

can download for free on gen.lib.rus.ec, or get on amazon

good luck

[BigTimePlayer]

The cycle begins again of working almost every damn day again. I just don’t know what to do. Into mid January I only have 3 days off & I just can’t deal with it. How am I supposed to keep going into a job I hate with a passion everyday like this. It’s just going to be another wasted year. This nonstop working type of schedule I can’t survive doing it. I just feel like I’m throwing my life away doing this. The issue is I don’t see another job being any better so I feel so trapped. I just wish I had a talent in something where I’d make really good money so I can escape this horrible work system. I’m always stressed out so bad.

This doesn't belong in this thread, it belongs in this one instead :

You identified what you need to do to get out of this rut, now go and take action.

Find a better job, and stop whining.

Go take your nonsense somewhere else. You have no idea of my entire life situation so don’t judge.

[eod8989]

Nothing seems to happen. Anyone else past the age of 25 and just feel like they are going through the motions with nothing really happening?

My work situation has gotten a little better but I still have nobody to talk to there and feel like ik going insane doing the same tasks over and over

[eod8989]

Im just sick of working with beta cucks. Everyone is so fake here in the office and I hate it

[eod8989]

I dont fuking understand how people cope doing the same mundane tasks 40+ hours per week

[imbored21]

life is so boring and meaninless and stupid and gay. fucing want to die already

[imbored21]

im starting to think women are just holes to put my dick in. I don't remember the last girl I met who had a heart.

[imbored21]

I faintly remember having things to look forward to when I was a kid. Now I never look forward to anything. My present and my future are just so dreary and monotonous that even the pale light of my mediocre past is almost blinding in contrast. Happiness died long ago.

[FrankCostanza]

Despite all of my success I still feel like my life sucks. The pain is overwhelming. I just Need the pain gone.

I get weary of being sick.

I've been in the hospital too much in the last year and a half. I consider it a bad sign. This was supposed to be the year that it all worked. But...that didn't happen.

I'm struggling against the urge to become pessimistic, and when my back is against the wall...as it seems to be...I'm finding little choice but to force myself to adopt optimism.

My periods of complete sanity have become less frequent. I'm very grateful for modern medicine. I'd not likely have made it without it. The struggle to find what works is exhausting, though...and it seems that what used to work just stops.

They increased the antipsychotics I was taking times 6. It's brutal, and I have to learn how live again which will probably take two months.

There's no giving up, though.

I had better get started with a quickness on the writing and art projects I've been putting off. At least they keep some markers in the hospital.

i went to mcdonalds out of depression (have been in a depressed state for about 3 weeks now). after i was done eating i drove to this lot where i remember there was a gun store. i know this sounds like a retarded plan but i wanted to go inside and attempt to buy a gun with which i could kill myself. the "plan" was very scrambled and incomplete in my head. the gun store had shut down and the building there was up for lease. after wards i parked in a nearby parking spot and cried for about 30 minutes. this has been the worst holiday season of my life. i hate this time of the year. i wish god could just take me already. actually i would go to hell since i'm such a terrible person

Who tries to take their own life on impulse? That's just dumb.

Also there's nothing wrong with mcdonalds. Just fit it in your macros. If you're trying to lose weight, go on a diet and start exercising, whilst counting calories. It's not rocket science.

I tell myself this, and I do believe it's true. Just because you feel low now, it doesn't mean you will feel low forever. This was a very hard holiday season for me. Probably, the worst I've had.

Life has it's ups as well. I think it's hard to visualize forever, and 'the rest of your life'. You don't have to, though. Just think about right now.

Do you have insurance or access to a therapist and psychiatrist? You should seek them out right away tomorrow and tell them how things are going.

Don't give up.



Your mind can work against you in shocking ways sometimes. But, you can change how you think. You can't change your past, but you are in the present and what you do right now can make your future better.
