Too bad travis responded privatly becaus eI would had been interested as this really is pretty much my case too.

lllcodelll what helps me very much is to get the basic right. You need to have the basic routines ok before you can get better.
Do a list of your basic activities and set up some sort of ritual out of it. In the morning, get up, get a shower, shave, make your bed, clean the room.
Eat a good breakfast, have a fixed wake up time. If you go to sleep too late then wake up ealier until you start to feel sleepy at night.
When your alarm clock rings, jump right out of bed. Dont go first to your computer check teamliquid.

Basicly after doing all this you will start feeling better about yourself and you will think more clearly and you will feel like you have more time on your hands.

Then you should keep it up.
After one week start adding stuff to your program, like go run 30 min each day (always fixed time).
Get new clothes, add one night in the week you will go out in bar (try friday, its cool)

Also before starting this make a biiiiig cleanup of you room, dishes etc.

To make you feel even less bored, when you go shopping, make a rule you dont buy any ready made food and you dont buy the same food you have already bough on that week.

Some easy changes to make and you will get more color to your life and a healthy background!

I have friends who don't even know what it is. It is not suppressed. Depression is created. You choose whether you want to be depressed or not.

People choose to be depressed more so in the US. It's only natural. If you're sad and feeling down, the natural tendency is to be alone. Your bad mood prevents you from wanting to have fun with friends. If our lives were too busy to let in free time like this, then we wouldn't have time to dwell on our sadness and it would move on.

Crying alone or confining yourself to be depressed alone does not help your situation. I go through this all the time at school.

College is tough. We all have to work hard and study, despite how hard it is. There are some people who cannot take the pressure and decide to give up. I had two friends who dropped out in our freshman year of college. After the 2nd round of exams were given back, we were all shocked at our low marks. We just trudged back home, depressed and dishearted. But most of us, the next day, were motivated to correct our mistakes and not let the bad marks let us down. We worked even harder, because we did NOT want to be disappointed again. But two friends stopped going to class, just to stay in their rooms and mope around. All they did was complain about how hard the work was, and how unfair college was. They were required to withdraw by the school administration at the end of the year because they could not motivate themselves.

It's not about acknowledging the fact that you are depressed. Sure, we all get depressed. But just by saying: "I'm clinically depressed.... I can't do this anymore..." won't get you anywhere. You have to force yourself to move on despite how bad your situation is. It isn't suppressing or denying depression. It's fighting past it and not believing in it. If you believe that you can't succeed, then you will NOT succeed. That is my ideology.

If you havent suffered from depression then i suggest you not give this man advice. I have chronic severe depression and take medicine for it. Without the medicine i am a wreck. I have tried commiting suicide once and failed. It's not as simple as "going out with your friends" as a lot of you make it out to be. I am suprised at the narrow mindness of most of these comments. If you wana talk about your depression man, pm me. Most of these people posting dont know a fucking thing of what they are talking about.

lol, read up on psychology dipshit. what im saying is right.

non-existant? wow, you're an idiot. you try living up to insane expectations from your parents, being forced to join the military and living in fear of the north coming down to kick the shit out of you your whole life, then tell me that theres no depression there, ok? even if none of those existed, you can still become depressed. it happens to many people because of a chemical imbalance.

thats interesting. there seems to be a bunch of pyschology studies that contradict that. manic-depressive is by choice?

brilliant. but your ideology doesnt do shit if you have a chemical imbalance. for normal, rational people, that holds pretty true. but the reality is, not everyone has it as easy as you do. if you were born into a poor family and had a mental disease, youd be singing a different tune.

no, you're wrong. you have no right to be confident in anything you say if you spew stuff like this:



you are obviously clueless, so keep on talking about things you don't know about please! i don't know or care you who are but from what you write i am certain that i know more than you about probably everything. you've either stated the obvious or shit from your mouth in every post i've seen since you joined so far and it's fucking awful.

assholes like you who have been here a month shouldn't have three hundred posts, and if they do they better be good ones. stop spamming and posting just to give your worthless support of other people's posts or jumping on the 'lol i hate whatisprotoss' bandwagon, it won't make you popular. i hope you get banned soon.
