Guys I'm depressed as hell but I found this crap and the cartoons are kinda cute and they made me feel less alone. I guess it's a help service (?) so maybe I'll look into that if it gets much worse. I don't have insurance and can't afford therapy and am paying out of pocket for meds. But- my life is pretty great I just have to manage this depression a bit better. I'll figure it out. Anyways, maybe in my sharing this someone else might see it and feel a bit less alone as well. Sorry for the blah blah blah carry on with your weird ass LMI

Wow, it's awkward browsing imgur and suddenly I am being told I might suffer from depression. spooky

The most important thing to remember, if you suffer from depression, is that it is a chemical unbalance in the brain. From lack of Serotonin

Can agree with this. I am, by all intents and purposes, clinically dead on the inside.

Hear, hear. Went to two funerals in the past few months, one for a friend, another for a friend's kid. Had to fake sadness as best I could.

I feel all of those symptoms. Especially the indecisiveness. :(

Helplines are filled with people who want to help, and if you feel uncomfortable, try a close friend. If all else fails, I'm here to vent to

I got a kitty when I was close to depression. She helped me out of it and still keeps me away every single minute of my life.

I had signs of depression for some yrs. They all lifted like fog in the sun when I started eating Low carb high fat. Clear, calm, cool now:)

Your depression could be a sign of food intolerance. Science has not been able to prove it but a LOT of anecdotal evidence out there

imgur is an uplifting community, so everyone let's lift OP up - perhaps, up voting will help ? You got my up vote.

a thing that helped me and keeps helping me , is doing physical activity of any kind to the point of exhaustion and sunlight.
magmadar
and lots of alcohol.

Hahah wel I do drink but exercise is hard
magmadar
its not hard , start out small and do more as you get used to the pain after a decent workout , then it slowly replaces drinking habits too.
believeitornotimnothome
Me too, @OP. These are spot on. All of them.

Maybe there is a Support Group in your area? They can help a lot and should be cost free.

These comics hit close to home. All of them. But hey things get better \o /
KeeperofthekidS16
Hugging your face. Talk to someone. Even if it takes a while or doesn't feel like it, talking helps. A lot.
Darrawraq
The best way to boost serotonin levels are exercising - even just going on a bike ride or walking to and from the grocery-store counts!
ProfaneSanction
If you have friends, and people tell you they like you, you are not my level of depressed.
FullCrimsonic
Depression feels cyclical to me. Its like I'm always going to be depressed in time no matter what I do
kaylina25
I had the same experience when I was in a low point during depression with the web cartoon/ now- print book called Hyperbole and a Half.

ir0np0ny
I am depressed because the person I want to talk to doesn't want to talk to me.
ir0np0ny
I don't even want to see anyone's face. Don't get out of bed, just cry or get out of here. Is it really depression? Or is it just how I am?
ir0np0ny
I used to be Happy, i was never like this
timbonitus
Right??? Ill be more depressed if I reach out to someone and they dont want to listen.
jrswhitechick
Ill listen

This is why lisenced therapists are good idea: first, you are not extra burden to them, 2nd, they know depression from many angles from 1/2
MotionOfTheOcean
their previous work, 3rd, they are outsider, this makes it often easier to talk to them when you start building the trust. 2/2

1) The thing that helped me most was when I called an old friend I hadn't talked to in years. It was like we'd just spoken the day before.
Cavalrysword
2) It kind of gave me a link to how I used to be, reminded me of who I was, who I ought to be. I'm trying to get back to being me.
KeeleonOhms
Of course the opposite can happen if you try to reach out and noone cares :/
Cavalrysword
Thank you for the cartoons, I like them, some of them made me smile.

Don't go back to being the old you, go forward and be the new you. Set goals, strive to better yourself. You can be anything you want. 1/2

But I like who I was. I always said I'd grow up to be who young me wanted to.
WeirdyMcCreeperson
That's the hardest bit, trying to get back to who you were before. Sometimes seems like that person never really existed in the first place.
PoppinLochNessHopster
Or if we've been this way as long as we can remember.
WeirdyMcCreeperson
I know I wasn't always this far gone, but it's proving very difficult to get any of it back after certain people in my life have died.
