XeCookie_ wrote I do not suffer from depression fortunate for me but my closest experience to it was when I was cheated on and the best way to cope with it in my opinion is just by keeping your mind distracted from the negative things going on so gaming, hanging with friends and music helps a TON.

KyloCrux wrote Hey folks, so not a lot know this but I have extreme bipolar depression. One moment I can be as happy as can be, then a few moments later I'll be depressed, over absolutely nothing. Doctors think my PTSD causes it but they really have nothing that helps. I've been on dozens of pills, seen multiple therapists and now I have to see a psychiatrist just to be put on a new medication but I don't want to go.

I'm not making this post for attention, but to ask, when you guys are depressed, and I mean down right out of it, what do you do to help you? I've tried music, my thoughts drown it out, I've tried gaming I just can't focus on it, I've tried exercising but when you have two kids, it's kind of hard.

Any thoughts? What do you guys think that could help me?

I had this thread on my watch list I've been busy with the server stuff so never really got time to reply. I suffer from depression with me its because I stack problems and worry about things beyond my control its always been part of my personality I literally drive myself crazy. I'm not paranoid at all it just builds and builds like the world is out to get me everything just seems wrong or my luck is down all the time and I just get stuck in this loop where I drag it around and stack that on top and it keeps going there is only so much someone can carry.

If you met me you would meet a guy who cracks stupid jokes none stop and likes to make others laugh most of the time I'm just projecting happiness onto others I wish my mind would allow me to have at most points.

Thankfully I'm blessed with family and friends who really do care about me they know me and I openly talk about where my heads at and that really is where you will find your help in people who understand you and know you if you don't have that I care so feel free to send me a PM if you want to chat or want advice.

You said you don't want to see a psychiatrist, you do! because you're asking for help go for an hour if it sucks at least you can say you tried the worst thing you can do is convince yourself your fine.
