I'm a pretty melancholic guy and my life is far from being cool, so most of the time, i'm depressed.
You know, wondering why a lot things all day long is bad for mental health, yet that's what 'im doing most of the time.
My family's pretty poor and i'm not that great in studies and of course, needless to say i don't have a lot of friend nor i ever had a gf before.
But i still dream of having a nice future so i won't kill myself for now, life might have some goos thing awaiting for me ^^

Most people I have ever met live a depressing life or are depressed, regardless of their situation.

I do not know anyone who does not live a depressing life. Every time I meet a new person who seems like they have their act together, I very soon find that their life is pathetic and pitiful and very depressing. Maybe I attract these people???

How can any of us ever escape the tragedy of not being able to be with the person who you want, live in the place that you want, etc....???

This is all a matter of perspective, though, and this is the most important thing to remember.

If you keep a green tree in your heart, perhaps the songbird will come.

I've been depressed for almost 2 years, almost to tjhe point of suicide a couple of times. Sometimes I wonder what had happened to my life that made it go to shambles

Life is depressing only if you make desicion that it will be like that! Sometimes you just have to tell yourself "Is it really ok to spend my life like this?" ... You live only once.. think about it!

And to those who think I'm just all talk: I have been deep down and I have so many bad experiences that I think nobody should have... I now I could be really down, but I think I'm not giving up! I have to be strong and proud of myself! I will live! salut

my life has been horrible this past year, what with my mom suddenly having an illness and my dad all of a sudden not prioritizing my family even with my mom's condition. all my friends are older than i am and i feel like i'm not going anywhere with my life. it's been very rough. i've cried so many times about everything and complaining and being depressed that i realized it just doesn't help. you have to realize you have all the time in the world to make the most out of your life. no matter what age you are.

you first have to set goals for yourself while going through these tough times. then try achieving them one by one keeping in mind that everything takes time. the more you accomplish with self-improvement the better you'll feel. even if your goals seem soo far away or even impossible, it's fun just trying to make the most of it and actually making part of it reality. because it can happen if you really want it to.

i'm serious.

yea but if you make it a process you'll realize your just creating a purpose when you really don't have any then you might actually think whuts tha point its tha same thing over and over
set goal -> accomplish goal-> find new challenge -> set goal-> accomplish goal -> find new challenge
i think a lot of people who realized them get bogged down in the lonely repetions of life and that why theyre depressed
. . . oh just a thought. . .

My life used to be horrible, now it's great. I used to be stuck in the countryside in a small European country without people of interest around, then when I graduated from high school, I packed my bags and moved to South Korea by myself and am here to stay for the next couple of years. It's good. Life is truly what you make of it.

Mmm, after reading these 4 pages of posts, I feel that things aren't really what they seem. These ppl may be people u see in school, at your work place everyday. But you might not know they have their own problems. They may seem very strong on the outside but they are actually fragile inside. We just don't know.

I just started university as a freshman earlier in Aug this yr and got all depressed when that process of making frens and getting adapted to independent learning got too overwhelming. I'm those type who warm up slower so I always feel uncomfortable (it's just not a good feeling, I feel tight at my chest) when in new classes and I'm all alone. But, I know I get pass it.

I once read about "Impermenance". It just means nothing is permanent, everything keeps on changing. There are depressing parts of life and happy parts too. Without sad times, we won't feel the happiness when good times are here. There must be contrasts and ups and downs. Otherwise, life would be too bland.

Remember, everything happens for a reason! Go and find the joy in simple things, small things... Sunshine, the gentle breeze on your face and your hair gets sweeped back haha. The smile of a child. See how children get so happy easily. Yea, I agree very much that having too much of free time is bad! Your thoughts run too wildly and end up clogging your mind!

Somemore happy things: A compliment frm someone. I bet everyone, EVERYONE have received compliments in their life at some point in time. The taste of chocolate or your fave food? Someone thanking you for something you've done for them. The flowers by the road side. The trees, so mighty and strong! A hug frm someone. Ribbons, wood (I lurve wood, it calms me). Get immersed by nature, feel its soothing effect on you. It's rejuvenating and theraupetic.

Best still, keep a book of happy times when you feel it. No one gets thru life without smiling or laughing once. Hee. Big Smile

Ooops, soz for writing so long. Hope anyone out there who is depressed find some meaning in what I've written. I'm very easily hurt and take criticism seriously. But, sometimes, I just heck care and take it as stuff passing by me. Life's too short to worry too much. Live for the moment. Find the joy in everything you do. It's easier to pass time and enjoy! w00t

@ kylagurl: true, true, most things arent really what they seem...i kinda understand that...and i guess i can relate to what u said...maybe you're right, that it is just about perspective...about being appreciative.....i just hope i could be one....

i always feel kinda empty...that there's something missing...
