[Barry Egan]

I've basically been depressed for the past decade with occasional bouts of feeling well.  It's tough bro.  Get some treatment if you can.   

[MyNameIsMethodis]

I'll be depressed if I don't stop cramming all these high carb foods down my throat.  :'(

I can't let Fat Atra make a comeback.

[BlackMage]

HEY!  :'(

[MyNameIsMethodis]

[pickle]

It's good stuff brah.

[Rahxephon91]

I hate my life too, but it's silly hate that could probably be helped with some actual effort.

[BlackMage]

Yeah, I am glad she is out of my life.. but damn I haven't gotten laid since.  :'(

[MyNameIsMethodis]

[BlackMage]

It's not just that. My friend are always busy and I can go weeks without getting a text or phone call from someone! I'm lonely dammit!

except for the people who decide to throw their pity parties with facebook updates, be grateful if you have none of those

[MyNameIsMethodis]

the girl i fancy is one of those and she uses me as a emotional tampon for the problems and im a sucker and reply and enable her to do those things 

[MrAngryFace]

Drink more- my solution

[Human Snorenado]

Try to keep your self occupied and do things to improve yourself like working out, etc.  It sounds cheesy and stupid but I've felt like 100 times better about myself since I went back to school.

[MrAngryFace]

That can help- but eventually you just feel shitty and need alcohol

[Human Snorenado]

Also- you guys sound like a bunch of fucking pussies re: women.  The best thing you can do is to work on making yourself a complete person by improving yourself and your life.  Then, when you put yourself in situations where you interact with women, they will pick up on that.  If you're a sad fucking nerdlinger who wants to friendzone yourself to every woman you know, they'll pick up on that too.  You've got choices to make, fucking be responsible for them.

[Human Snorenado]

Sure, but the point is not to have that be your default plan every weekend

[Groogrux]

It's not just that. My friend are always busy and I can go weeks without getting a text or phone call from someone! I'm lonely dammit!

I know the feeling.  I'm considering dumping my old batch of friends and investing in some new ones.  My problem is that most of my friends have moved away and don't even attempt to contact me back.  They come to town to visit other friends and don't even tell me they're around until they're already gone.

I either need new friends or a girlfriend.  Some people my family goes to church with are trying to get me hooked up with a girl that goes there that has a kid of her own.  They say she's really nice, but super exhausted from raising a kid by herself.  I know the feeling all too well.  I saw her there last Wednesday when I went and they said she came Sunday morning looking really nice (apparently for me) and I had to work...

[MrAngryFace]

SHHHH- I miss bitter creepy old guy.

Anyway, get into beers- explore the world of booze

I'll second this recommendation.* During the last month and a half, it has, in combination with wellbutrin, helped reduce my depression, GAD, and maybe even my social anxiety (small sample size).

*this recommendation should not be relied upon for any decision or action.

[Groogrux]

I've taken Wellbutrin before.  It's good stuff, but it's costly in 'Murica.

[Oblivion]

Wait, you're just depressed cause you're lonely? Here I thought it was something serious.

I was in a massive state of depression a few years ago. It got to the point that I wasn't able to concentrate on the most basic things. I was borderline suicidal, even.

I slowly started getting better some time in 2010, and was almost back to normal. Then I saw this thread and all the  memories came back.

THANKS A LOT, ASSHOLE. 

[Robo]

I recommend taking a hiatus from masturbating. 

How can anyone be content with the indolence of their day-to-day when you have a load of jizz splashing around inside you?  Or when you don't, even?

That's actually a pretty common thing, to be depressed because you're lonely.

I feel better now.

are those over the cfounter or prescription? I talked to my doctor about depression and he said I wasnt. He didn't even give me any tests or anything just "youre losing weight depressed people gain weight".

guess I can't work on self improvement and feel bad at the same time guys

[Phoenix Dark]

Most people who complain about women don't even talk to them. Make some damn small talk at Subway, in the library, at work, etc. The goal isn't to get a date here, the goal is to just...talk to women and figure out how good you are at thinking on your feet. I'm not talking about forcing stupid comments to impressed chicks - just being yourself and trying to avoid bullshit small talk ("so...how about this weather huh").

I got a chicks number after standing next to her in a line at a Pistons game and hearing her ringtone was Zeppelin. I was just like "ah Kashmir? Awesome." She probably assumed I only knew it from that Diddy song but we wound up talking about Zeppelin and bam, number exchange.

Shit is easy. Just don't get a creep and don't overreach

[MrAngryFace]

Lets be real- Black Mage probably got more this year than a lot of us- and hes still bummed.

[Madrun Badrun]

He's so good looking that he should be in it every hour though.  Its total failure on his part.

[Don Flamenco]

i get 90 a month for about $40.  Great stuff, helped me cut down on smoking a lot and I don't bottom out on a daily basis anymore. yay

[ToxicAdam]

Actually, basing the majority of your self-worth around the attention you receive from women is the basis for most male's depression. If you can rewire your brain away from doing that, you already are halfway there.

[Mandark]

Make some damn small talk at Subway

Always with the Subway, this one!

[MrAngryFace]

Gotta respect the Subway.

Oh man SA E/N is full of the stupidest most self absorbed people ever. Uber sad and hilarious at the same time.

You're doctor sucks, IMO. 

True story:  You know how to diagnose depression?  You tell your doctor that you're depressed.  A doctor can't tell you how you feel.  A few months after my wife died, I told my doctor that I was depressed and I wanted to quit smoking.  He agreed about the depression and prescribed Wellbutrin to help me stop smoking as well.

I always get the macadamia cookie and if there's a girl next to me in line I'll tell her it's my favorite cookie. Always garners a blush or smile

would you agree that the key component to being about to do this is empathy? most small talk comes from identifying something about another person and caring enough about their feelings towards it to be able to bring it up in conversation?

I still have problems doing that, it sucks. You'd have thought after 30 years on this planet I would've learned by now.

all antidepressents (besides st johns wort which i wouldn't recommend) are going to be prescription

and any change in weight (+/-) can be a symptom. doctors hand out prescriptions for ADs like candy, i find it hard to believe he just blew you off

[MrAngryFace]

My life is awesome and I still get bummed- people can tell me I don't get to feel shitty but fuck them. I get to deal with depression AND feeling guilty for being depressed when my life is awesome! Figure that shit out.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

ya i was expecting him to help me out but he just blew it off flat out saying "i dont think youre depressed you wouldnt be losing weight" and nothing. I dunno, its not like i wanna kill myself that kind of depression, I just want to be normal again 

[demi]

Andy I'll be your friend. I don't even like girls, so you don't have to worry about me ditching you to go on dates and do stupid relationship stuff. We can even jerk off together.

[Himu]

Welcome to the club.

I've been thinking about suicide more and more lately.

[demi]

Loser, suicide is for pussies. You're stuck with the rest of us.

[Himu]

Sounds terrible.

I wouldn't say it has much to do with empathy, if anything it's more of a social thing; just like people who say "bless you" after someone coughs aren't religious/superstitious. Asking about the weather isn't high on most people's "give a shit" meter, it's just an annoying ice breaker.
