I can relate to alot of this, and admire your courage in putting it out there. In my experience the best way to deal with this is to really not be ashamed, put it out there. Worst thing you can do is act normal and just go zombie mode for the rest of your life.

Boes, you're still that guy who dropped out of high school to tour with your band. What do you want to do now? You can make it happen.

Wow, your childhood experience sounds a lot like mine. I just guess it's the environment trying to keep you down that makes us want to rebel so hard. I even went through a "I'm going to be a progamer" phase a couple years back, which dropped my grades pretty hard, but I've gotten over it.

I dont really subscribe to the "I shouldn't feel depressed, so many have it way worse than me". To me its a lack of understanding of oneself and society in general. True, there are far worse places in the world than those we live in, but depression (if you look away from the biological aspect - which also clearly defies that sentiment) depression is a relative concept. I know, I suffer from it myself. Depression is often linked to your standing relative to others in society and yourself. Like yourself I have also felt like the "center of world" and had huge hopes and aspirations. My depression however came from myself always handicapping myself and never truly giving my 100%, just because some stupid fear of my ego being shattered if i didnt make it. And my hopes and dreams (which were unrealistic in the first place) has been my burden to bear. But i dont carry around any guilt, because i have it better than others. 3rd world populations dont carry around with them the burdens we in the west bear: The world of endless possibilities, and hence all the chances unspent. It becomes an obsession if you start thinking that way, and it never really gets better. 3rd world people have other more pressing issues which wont get solved by loitering around or thinking about it. The sense of selfcontrol and being a "master of your own life" is through and through different, so no surprise we westerners suffer more from it.

Whoever said it was a "logical" illness anyway?

For whatever reason this really hit home for me. I have a pretty serious history with depression and the same cyclical thought always comes to me where I wonder how I could be sad, because my life is (objectively) pretty easy and good, which only serves to make me more depressed about not being able to be happy. It's a really horrible circle.

For what it's worth I'll always believe in you, you're a pretty incredible dude. It can be rare to find legitimately solid guys in esports and you're one of the few genuine dudes out there.

Yea also you have to tell us why you left your band / music because your story doesn't make any sense.

1- I was bored in my small town
2- I was a musician touring in the US and having an awesome life
3- I'm back to being a "nobody" and being depressed.

wtf man 2 -> 3 needs an explanation.
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

Thanks for sharing boes, just remember that nobody else faces the same problems you do with the same experiences you have, so you have every right to feel however you feel. And as JWD says, you've done things to be proud of, and can make stuff happen

Wow, I never would've thought you get depressed... At least you seem like the guy who doesn't give a fuck much about other's opinions, and does what he wants.

I wish you would share what your current dreams are...

Also, IMO, it really isn't important how bad anyone elses life is.
Using an analogy, it isn't important how fast or slow a car goes, the car will feel depressed if it knows it's not going its full speed.
So, an old car going 60mph may feel great, but your lambourghini going 50mph will feel depressed because it knows it can go 200mph. Then it'd be wrong to think you 'shouldn't' feel depressed because of that old car having it so tough.

I thought this was some KINGCHARLIE parody but judging by comments OP is genuine. It ends rather abruptly with weird pictures of tight clothing and clown shoes followed by ninja turtles and a list of tunes youd play at your cats funeral, but overall was insightful.

I guess going back to school is never an option.

That whole "there are people worse than you, you have no right to feel sad" is such bullshit. If you feel sad then feel sad it's your right. This isn't a competition for fuck sakes I hate when people give you crap like that and you too shouldn't have that attitude because it's obviously not healthy if you're really depressed.

Anyhow keep fighting it man it's all I can do for you <3<3

Did it ever occur to you that your dad didn't support the things you did because he did not want to push you in any direction you aren't really passionate about. If you say you only did those things in first place to impress him, well, might he felt your lack of passion and wanted you to find something you can be really happy about.

Loool, but I don't know nothing about your dad, so pls don't be offended if i misinterpred what I just read, interesting it was though.

I always thought you did a really good job with your music in school. I dunno dude, if you want it, go after it. Don't let anything get in your way.

I went from random kid in a school of 1.2k+ to that kid in a band, to the nothing kid again, to top radio DJ, to nothing, to aspiring LoL shoutcaster. It is what YOU make of it, not what others make of you.

Aren't you in your twenties/early thirties or something?
That's pretty young. You still have plenty of time to forge your own path in life. Don't feel sad about not being able to do something when you're in your physical and mental peak, just go out there and fucking do it.
To repeat: find something to do and go fucking do it.

I spent years being depressed because i kept thinking that there must be something wrong with me, that it was selfish assholish for me to be that way, and at every turn society would tell me to fuck off

Really, its OK to be depressed, and you're a cool guy. I was never depressed around my parents because they were the only ones to tell me that i was OK, and that i wasn't this terrible person that people kept telling me i was

I always felt like "wow, i've got all this stuff and i'm unhappy, i must be a bad person" and i would beat myself up over it. It took people to tell me that its OK to be unhappy and its OK to be depressed and that doesn't make me a bad person in order for me to recover

---

Nowadays i live pretty much the same way i used to, i'm an absolute hermit, i have very few if almost no friends at all, my personality is extremely introverted and awkward, and i spend most of my time just doing my own thing
But now that i know its OK to do that, and i don't listen to the pressure of people around me telling me that i "have to" get out or i "should" do this, or that i "must" listen to the pressures of society, i'm a lot happier about it

It's only because people come up to me and say "man you got issues" or "there's something wrong with you" and they tell you that over and over again you begin to believe it. I'm cool just the way i am thanks
