Lots of people trying to help in this thread. Nice to see. I'll throw my hat in here.

A common thread I see with a lot of people talking about depression is that they really really over analyze things. My brother is kind of like this. When something happens "it means something", or "oh, all this is starting again" or "this is a bad year for me". Which, really, is all bullshit. That is just pereception. Depressed people, from what I've seen, really tend to spend a lot of time sitting back- looking at trends of events in their life and, as you said, bitching about them like an old man.

Really, you have everything you need. You're a doctor. Life is going to be what you make of it. People die, people get hurt, things are perfect, exepect it... because that is how this world is. How this stuff can surprise people, and "depress" them is beyond me. Really man, in our position in the First world in this society, life could literally not be better. Try to appreciate it more, get lost in little things you enjoy, and don't try to sit back so much looking for the "ghost of depression" to rear its ugly head.

Asside from that, nutrition. You're a doctor so I'm sure you've heard this and know it so it's probably pointless, but I think it's the most important. Make sure you're getting all your vitamins, fiber, a good balance of sodium and potassium and try to avoid any kind of neuroactive stuff all together (alcohol, medication, drugs etc).

Best of luck man, hope you find something in this thread that helps you. You've spent a lot of your life helping people out and curing people, feel good about it!

One thing that really helped me personally was the revelation that I didn't have to change my entire life at once. It's very tempting to say to yourself "tomorrow I'm going to start living normally again," but that really just doesn't work. What I did was just add one little thing a week. Something as simple as taking the time to meditate for 15 minutes each morning is a very small commitment, and easy to keep up no matter how bad your depression is. Once you've been doing something for a week or two it no longer seems like a thing you need to worry about, it's just a part of your routine. As you gradually add on more and more small things one at a time, at some point you'll realize that your days are full of stimulating activities and if you are still depressed it really isn't affecting your life.

At least that's what I did, it won't work for everyone but it's what worked for me.

Im extremely depressed right now. Im not usually but the love of my life just left me. It might seem minimal compared to the op, but to me its seriously the worst thing thats ever happened in my entire life. Ive dealt with breakups before, but this one....this one was unprecedented, this one takes the fucking cake. I dont know what to do, im scared shitless of the coming days/weeks/months because i know i wont be able to recover from this very easily. Im not looking foward to spending time alone at my house because im currently unemployed and in between semesters, seriously....i need something. I need something to be better because im in hell. So i understand you op....i wish i could erase my memories, i wish i could just sleep forever because thats the only time im happy.
Im cooler than the other side of the pillow.

OP here.
I'd like to take a moment to thank all the wonderful folks who shared their experiences in this thread.

So far common denominators to help in situations like these are:

-Exercise
-Eating well/Sleeping well
-Meditation
-Hobbies
-Relationships (i.e: Friends, family, girlfriend, etc)
-Good doctor/psychologist
-Staying on medications

I hope this thread has been helpful to everyone who needs a hand at times of trouble. It has certainly given me a few leads, too.

Thank you for being so awesome, TL. It's so cool to see so many people worried about those not having a good time, so many people willing to help, so many people willing to share their experiences and give a few kind words.

^___^ TY folks. Really. To everyone who posted here and sent me PMs. You guys are awesome <3

TL is a pretty cool place
Dealing with depression is really really hard, the only way I managed to survive was a combination of a really good psychologist and just trying to get on with my life (with a push in the right direction from other people). Just making sure that I was active, in terms of work, social life and exercise was hugely important... I've slipped a bit in that regard, but I'm in a much better place right now.

I am feeling really down right now and i wanted to express my feelings somewhere.I don't think i am worth enough of opening up a new blog just because of this so i decided to write it here.


It hit me again , i feel terrible , alone , ugly , fat and useless.Not much to look forward to when i am in this state , i feel like i should just vanish into a dark forest or just sink into the earth.

I been trying to get in shape , look good , dress well , style my hair to improve my chances of finding a girl what might like me and would want to spend some time with me , if only for a day , i don't think i ever had that.I been trying for so long and its always the same, rejection or friendzoned.

I am losing hope , i am tired of trying , so tired . While my face and body may same to be fine , my soul is slowly dying.I envy all my friends that find a girl and she loves him back.

To me , a girl loving me back seems as impossible as seeing the end of the universe with your naked eye.I am so tired...i just want to sleep...
