I almost gave up

Yesterday night i almost checked myself into the mental ward down town. Thoughts of hopelessness, losing faith in mankind (hard to find anyone that's a decent human being.)
I almost gave up, but i remembered all the times i use to be depressed, i always found a solution to live life to the fullest (i remembered the good days when i was able to solve any problem by careful thought and rationale.) Then a moment of inspiration struck, everything made sense again for a brief moment, everything was significant, all of this hardship i went through while in this depression seemed so insignificant and i came to the realization that i've been stationary, wasting my life due to neurotic thoughts based on ignorant speculation and misunderstanding.A new day will bring happiness and further knowledge, and i'll be able to enjoy life how i use to.

Anyway, i had to write this out somewhere, hopefully people will understand why i wrote this and won't think im doing this for attention or anything.

There's always something to be happy about, and to live well for... sometimes you need to look hard for them but they're there.

try to understand that your ups and downs are caused by depression i.e. your head, not by reality. then overcome them.

Strength and Honor.
To say that I'm missing the point, you would first have to show that such work can have a point.

Defecting is like a hidden desire in us humans. The thought of going crazy is a secret pleasure we indulge in for our minds entertainment. Love is a good suppressant for this urge but it only lasts as long as the love does.

Meaning, if not found through god, can be found in our common dilemma (living). Good people are out there have faith in that and the majority seek the same shelters you do.

I'd advise you to play starcraft but now that I think of it that would detract from sanity not add it

Hang in there bro

Btw, I'm curious what does your diet look like, how much sleep do you get, caffeine etc
I know that deep inside of you there's a humongous set of testicles just waiting to pop out. Let 'em pop bro. //////////////////// AKA JensOfSweden // Lee Yoon Yeol forever.

How is checking yourself into a mental ward giving up? If you need help then you need help. There's no shame.
It felt like gravity.

Well a mental ward isnt getting help in that your sad, its basically accepting that you have no control over yourself and need some SERIOUS shit. Takes all responsibility away from you IMO. If he wants help he should get a counselor.
