You're always going to hit bad spots in life, always. I've been through very hard times...very hard, and I've been completely broke, have had no place to live, but I still managed to get through it.

There's one phrase that has pushed me through those bad times in life and I strongly believe in it, "Everything happens for a reason." Yeah you may be going through some crappy things right now, but look at it this way, there is always a good reason behind it happening, sometimes it may take a couple years for it to show itself, but it will happen. Whenever something bad happens to me, my first initial thought, is, "God why me?!" But then I stop and think, "Okay...everything happens for a reason..I may not see the reasoning behind this but I know I will eventually."

Okay I'm done rambling...

That's the same way I go about things. It's funny too, becuase as life progresses, I usually mange to figure out WHY those things happen.

Move in with a family member and get back on your feet.

No I don't.. I believe depression is all in your head...


People that are down or depressed about life just don't appreciate what they have.

No matter what happens I look to the good side of things....

I've got a roof over my head... clothes on my back. Some people don't even have that....

No matter how bad off you are.. theres plenty of people who would kill to be in your position.

i don't dissagree with your statement with that people would kill to be in my situation. But does that mean that someone can't be depressed for certain reasons....you know you trully don't know what's goin on in my life....so you cant really comment on it too much....

basically i was just looking for some company to talk to and help make me feel better....and that's what some did or offered...

but telling a person who already is depressed that you think is all in someones head...just messes with that person's head even more....

and as far as not appreciating what i have is bullshit, i don't have money, i don't have a career, i can't get into any branch of the military, i am in debt up so i can't really afford to go to school, i can't get good jobs b/c of my criminal record, i recently found out i have a virus that i will have for the rest of my life(no it's not hiv), i am being forced to live with my dads g/f's crack head of a piece of shit daughter, plus more...so you don't fucking know....so please refrain from comment negatively that is gonna make me more down about my situation.

You asked "You don't believe in depression?"... I came back with my answer and why. If it hurt your feelings I am sorry.. but the truth does hurt.........

I don't truly know what's going on in your life.. but I promise you.. it could be worse. You should be grateful for that.

You can't get a good job because of your criminal record... who's fault is that? I'm sorry you have a criminal record but that was your choice.

A lot of people don't have money or a career....you can take positive steps forward to fix that.... being depressed or down about life is not going to get you anywhere.

You should change your outlook on life. A virus..? I'm sorry to hear that... that sucks. BUT like I said... be positive about it.. at least it's not life threatening.... At least you have your life....hell I got a jacked up patella (basically the shit in my knee gets unaligned every now and then - aka bad knees) but it could be worse... At least I got my leg.....see what I am getting at here? No matter what... it could be worse. Yes it might not be what you're wanting..but look to the positives.

If you consider this bringing you down.. I apologize .. it's just some life advice that people should follow.....

as far as the truth about the depression? that's your opinion. doesn't make it true

as far as the criminal record i know that's nothing but my fault, as far as trying to get a career or a better job i've been trying. Probably filled out at least 50 app's this year alone. yes my life could be worse, but doesn't mean i'm happy with the way i am or my situation, and as far as a knee injury i know how you feel, my right knee is in so much pain every day where i take alot of medicine to help numb the pain since i can't go see a doctor b/c of money and no insurance.

i'm not down and depressed to the point where i don't do anything. That you assumed. But someone can be not happy and depressed.

i'm done arguing with you....like i stated. I was feeling really down and lonely when i posted this. And was just simply looking for company and people to talk to so i don't have to sit by myself thinking about stuff.

if you saw me in person you wouldn't even think i'm depressed b/c i hide it all inside, and just put a fake smile and go on with my day

Like I said.. I am sorry if you feel I "attacked" you... Just tossing my views out there. I hope you start looking up... and I hope you find a nice paying job.

There are a lot of ruts in life.

yea i don't feel like you attacked me, but i do feel you assumed some things abuot my situation...but it's ok....

i'm in a rut right now, i'm sure in a couple months i'll be out of it....just sucks....

i applied at rite aid corporate today, i fit the qualifications and the job was just posted so hopefully i'm one of the first people's app's they read. thursday goin to apply at norfolk rail road, terminex, a lumber yard and a few others.

my current job, ruby tuesdays ftl . lol

Summer is coming up...

Construction sucks.. but pays good...

yea it's what i did all last year, sucks and pay is good. tried getting into another company this year...still no luck

I hope that you don't feel that you need to do that with people on this site.

Im sorry to hear how you feel, justin. I got super depressed a couple of years ago and I hated it. Im afraid it runs in my family at times, but I seriously hope not. My dad had a :quotes :illness but I never knew anything of it till like 20 years later. I was little when he died, so i dont remember him.

depression is no fun. find people to talk to, and stuff that intrests you to do. Dont just sit around doing nothing and try not to dwell on the negatives. Life will get better, and like the others said, everything happens for a reason. I know its no fun...but you will get through it and you have tons of supportive friends on here. The number hasnt changed if you ever need to talk.

hey bro i know whicha mean and what your talking about ive been battling depression my whole life from my dad walking out on me and my momat birth to my mom getting tendonititis and i had to give up highschool to get my hustle on and get a 9-5 to put food on the table. part of the reason why i smoke budz everyday. one thing i can tell you its hard but one best thing ive found out is get two jobs it will help with the depression bieng around other people. One thing that you might think of is get into a trade and stay in it. try to find a union or contracter supported apprentice program. i would recommend getting a job as a helper with a electrician and then taking night classes for it. electricians are always in high demand, the job is cake compared to framing and they make good money!and bro im feeling depressed right now becuase im in hella debt, ive been working 12 hours aday for the past two weeks, i got one job thats gonna last a week(should take 2) and then after that i have nothing no matter where you are in life it sucks.. you just gotta keep your chin up! bro remember its life and it sucks so thats why ya gotta hump it!

Your depression is being cause due to your lack of money.

I know this cause I been where you been. Money is the stresser for you thats causing your depression. Sooner you deal with your money problems that faster you'll be better.

Things I know don't work:

Perscpition drugs. Cost too much take too long to build up in system. Once you do get them built up you feel great and stop taking then and your back in your hole.

Alchoal(spelling) beer taste good however doesn't last long your out more money and you can't drink at work(most places)

Pain I find it to be a good mind clearer but worries the hell out of other people. Fighting causes issues. Blood letting done wrong is called sucide. An finding public dungeons are hard. An theres a whole other issue set that depending on your kink.

Illegal drugs: even less money, quailty control, and there illegal.


Most larger banks have finance consults go in make an appointment take over your money problems see what they say. Oh an its free if you have an account with that bank.

Don't let your problems run your life. Women are much better at.

Weed can be a responsible persons stress reliever or an irresposible persons escape from reality. i use it as a stress reliever...plus i love it! hahaha

not to get in a arguement about drugs....but if you look as maryjuana as a drug, then i hope you don't drink or smoke cigs either. B/c those are in fact drugs also....

Alcohol is almost always lumped in with drugs, technically it is a mind altering substance.

SILVER-ES wrote:Alcohol is almost always lumped in with drugs, technically it is a mind altering substance.

so are drugs...

My point exactly, alcohol is a drug, Marijuana is a drug, and nicotine (cigs) is a drug.

I don't smoke... and I hardly if EVER drink. I've been drunk drunk 2 times in my life... and I have a drink every now and then. (something like a mikes hard lemonade - not even really a drink lol)

J-Villa, I know where your coming from and Am fighting it to...

I Lost my bread and butter job about this time last year, It turned my life upside down, Being poor, My wife started to resent me, She buried herself in school and work, while I retreated from everything. I lost my wife because I was too stupid to get help and try to work things out... I've lost her forever now, She has moved on after only 5 or so months and isn't coming back... I live every day having to see her, see my daughter and know that because of my actions, Kate's life will never be what it should have been and that I'm never going to be able to trust my feelings again when it comes to love.

I know what you mean when you say you sit at home and think about it... I'm there too. I live in the house that me and Ashlie bought together, all alone. Every other night my little girl is here, but we are still all alone. Theres pictures, wedding stuff, every memory all strung out across this damn house... It's been for sale for months now, I'm really ready to get out of it and move on...

My point to this is, your not alone, Life throws us all kinds of challenges, but it's not about the mistakes we make along the way, they are going to happen no matter what, what really counts is how you learn from the mistakes.

A wise person once told me, "God will never give you something that you cannot handle"
I wish I would have listened to her then...

Oh and LowNSlow, Clinical Depression is a serious chemical imbalance in the brain that can bring on thoughts of Suicide and general odd behavior in otherwise normal people. It is a true, documented disorder. Now I doubt me or J-villa suffer from something that severe, but I have known a few people in my life that have... Thankfully non have killed themselves. But anyway, for some, its not just All in there Heads.
