Listen man,

I'm no counselor, or anything of the sorts. I'm just a seventeen year old kid that enjoys playing video games, and having fun in life.

I have a friend, very close to me that actually tried to kill himself 2 weeks ago by overdosing, luckily his little brother found him, and he was then rushed to the hospital.

I get worried about him whenever he misses two days of school in a row. I've known him since 6th grade, we are both now Seniors in highschool. He is honestly my best, and most loyal friend. Everybody has the one friend that has been there since the beginning, well. He's mine. I don't know what I would do if I lost him. Him family would be devastated, his girlfriend would be devastated, and I would be devastated.

What I'm trying to say is that never give up. There will always be people that will care about you more than others, who give a hell what they think?

Live life to the fullest and never let anybody bring you down.

I'm sorry man, I hope he's doing well now. The recovery is hard, but he and I can do it and so can everyone. Getting over depression isn't easy, it's not fun and it's definitely something to be taken seriously.

I'm very happy to hear you are alive and improving man! Just remember life only get's better bro. Strive and you will succeed out of depression. I'll be praying for you bro, stay strong.

Get this on a daily basis for my depression and anxiety. "Just get over it", and that's coming from parents. It's disgusting how little notice and attention people pay to depression because it's a huge deal and lots of people suffer from it.

People who mock depression simply don't understand, it's something you only truly understand it if you have it.
But people who mock others for say self harming really annoy me, because people who do have the stereotype that we all do it for attention, when in all honesty it is just a distraction.
I personally think that people should help, because I know just having people there for me when I get really down helps a lot, however they shouldn't get too nosy because that's when it can sometimes get worse.

However, the feeling you get from getting over it, I wear my scars with pride because it shows i've been that low, however I have pulled myself out of it and now i'm living life to the best I can, not having to worry and trying to keep the depression away, which so far so good.

Stay strong dude, you've got my support and i'm sure many others.

That was some touching story my man. I have lost a lot of people in my life and it has hit me hard.. but I have never ever felt the need to take my life or whatever, sometimes I depress myself by thinking about things, people I wish could be here now and such. So I would say mine is not really a chemical imbalance or anything but depression by tragedy, much like yours it seems. I seem to be coping at the minute and all is good. I learnt to cope and keep my mind of things and now I am even comfortable talking about it.

Now to the soppy part, I have no idea if you are all good or what for now, but if you ever need someone to talk to or anything, I am here, I am a stranger but that can go a looooong way.

For the most part I've tried to accept my predicament. I've accepted that people in the world besides family won't ever care about me and grown to understand why. I've accepted in myself that I will always be alone. mine has always been loneliness. But as being a ugly guy and trust me it's the truth lol I've accepted it. I never thought about killing myself. Don't get me wrong I love living lol but my life just won't be that great I guess

Thanks for everyone's support for the community, it's a subject that deserves alot more attention that an it currently gets.

Depression, is horrible. It's for me, the feeling of waking up & feeling like I'm worthless, constantly paranoid and suffering from Scitzophrenia it's hard I hear voices in my head telling me to hurt myself as well as physical motor ticks and verbal ticks from Tourettes Syndrome. I have a lot of medical conditions and I'm proud of them, I'm proud to be who I am. But, I'm not happy with myself like many others. Alot of us just want to feel accepted & loved by others, and to feel welcome. If anyone needs any support, I'll be here too as I've been through alot myself. Suicide is horrible, I've attempted numerous times. You know what hurts more?... Not the physical pain but the regret, whether that's the regret that you now have scars from failing to kill yourself, or whether it's because you realize it wasn't the right thing to do.


I will continue to gift people, because I like helping people. Because, I want help myself.


Thanks everyone & I hope we can all fight depression together.
