I would like to know how you deal with your depression
(I bet you think a girl would start this kind of thread, too bad a guy started it.)

Depends on how bad it is. If its really bad and I get self harming thoughts (which I know are not real, just my mind telling me it has WAY, WAY to much to deal with on a pretty severe scale), I just sleep it off, rocking in bed with the clock radio on to drown out my thoughts.

Regular depression just has me wandering around the house in a funk. Nothing looks good to eat or watch on TV/DVD etc. Even using the computer gets boring.

Kill a couple of your old bullies slowly and painfully but be sure to have an escape plan first. That'll cheer you up like nothing else.  :P

try to ignore it, go for a walk, listen to music

when i was younger i used to deal with it by getting really angry and isolating myself

then as i got older and made friends online i dealt with it by whining about it

now i've realised neither of those really work in the long term lol

I know damn well I posted in here. I'll post it again. You are not depressed because of a medical condition, Nick. You are depressed because of all the bullshit you have to put up with. The problem is, you are causing every single one of your problems.

I think a lot of people who claim they have depression or are depressed just have a shitty life that they can't change or think they can't change. Being stuck with a shit sandwich for a life isn't meant to be fun.

that's still depression though, right? Just circumstantial rather than clinical depression or whatever they call it

someone who has a shit life and therefore has all the symptoms of depression is still depressed

Yes, true.

I've tried dealing with it with alcohol and pills. Neither works very well.

It would be incredibly easy for him to improve his situation by leaps and bounds, what with him living in a group home and everything. He has all the help that he needs, and does not have to worry about obtaining food, shelter, or any of the basic necessities. Everything is taken care of for him.

He just chooses not to do anything. At all. Besides playing video games and living in a fantasy world. He finds that nobody is allowing him to do this, and it has frustrated him to no end. Like it or not, childhood is over for him one way or another. He hates it, and thinks he's "depressed".

I didn't mean iceman, rage. I just meant in general - it's still depression if someone fits the diagnosis but has reasons for it.
What is it he is depressed about btw? I mean what is it that he can change but isn't?

odeon - I tried alcohol when I was depressed too - bad idea isn't it?  :laugh:
(although it does temporarily get rid of my ocd)

Yes, it's a really bad idea, drinking to cheer up. :P

And yes, alcohol is VERY helpful to get rid of my OCD, too.

Can I spank your butt for you? :laugh:

Chores, workouts, no time left to think much about what was bothering me.   Various other defensive coping I have noticed, along with no time to do anything, just makes things even worse for me.  I don't have an appetite, but I know if I don't eat it won't be fun.  Pretty easy concept to "understand",  I don't have cravings for junk.  Oh I almost forgot, I am not in clinical depression, as that would be 2 weeks, not a couple of minutes.   I bet you want to spank me :laugh:   I just want to have sex, so my mind stays occupied on things that will help me get it, there isn't much time for negative thoughts.
