How do you deal with depression?

I've been really depressed lately. Even though I have already gotten into college and school doesn't really matter anymore I'm really depressed. I think... I know it's due female problems. A girl who at one point liked me, is someone who I really care about now, but she doesn't give a sh** about me! I don't know how to deal with it. Besides the fact that I see her every day, she sits next to me in most of my classes. I can't just forget about her, and there is not a single girl that I can move on to. I'm going insane. It's been one year now since this whole thing began, and I still can't get over her. It frightens me that I'm so hurt even though I haven't even been in a relationship with her...we hooked up once; in a couple of days it will be 1 year. I doubt it's infatuation because it's been going on for so long and I'm taking it so seriously. I don't know what to do. I'm depressed as hell. Thanks for listening.
 
you need a job. or get out and do something outside. find something fun and enjoyable. (like i should talk...i work and don't do anything fun and enjoyable...and still depressed). you gotta have a few friends, go out and hang with them...find some girls to talk with...
 
i feel your pain. i once fell for a girl at work. seeing her everyday was a nightmare. i don't know what to tell you. nothing seemed to help me. i dated another girl from work but it was a joke. it didn't help at all. i ended up getting a new job (not because of her) but it still took me a while to forget about her.

i have a similar situation. except its only been about 6 months..how do you deal with depression?🙁
 
PAXIL...no sh*t man.....i swear to god, this will solve your problem....2 weeks you will be all good...you wont dwell on her as* any longer...
 
I think it's my stubborness. I can't comprehend the fact that she doesn't like me.

As far as doing things and hanging out with friends... Yes, it helps A LOT, but only when I'm haning out with them. When I'm by myself, I feel worthless, I feel like I can't get anyone better than her, etc etc etc... I consider myself a very logical person, and my logical side just laughs at what my emotions are doing to me. But the fact is my logic can't control what I feel. And all I feel is pain.
 
Celexa.

It's what I'm on, partially for depression and partially for OCD. No, I'm not one of those who wash their hands 20 times - a different form of OCD.
 
you guys....im so serious....PAXIL IS THE SH*T....my situation was horrible.....ok, i was on bed rest for like 7 months, cuz i broke my back.. well crushed 4 verts (im all good now) anywayz..so, im screwed, stuck in bed...lost my job cuz i could not work...just fu*ked.....my parents have to foot alll my bills (im talking like 3k a month just for my sh*t, not including all my wifes sh*t)... cant sleep in the same bed as my wife, had to have a special bed put in the 2nd living room that would move and sh*t (an adjustabe).... after a few months of bed rest and no job.....my wife decides to leave me...NO JOB>>>IN BED>>>WIFE TAKES CHILD AND BAILS>>>>...my world was FU*KED.....anyway.....i was on drugs forever (so that helped me deal with it a bit)...then i got on PAXIL....this sh*t made me all good....i swear to the sh*t now...im not kidding...im sure other things could have helped, but i was depressed and this stuff worked....i would try it....

everything turned out all good in the end....wife and child back and my back is all normal =D


if errors in this, sorry im on a few beers 😀
 
From what I understand, you're having a hard time letting this girl go. When not distracted by friends and activities, your mind dwells on her. Perhaps the solution lies in finding the root of the problem. Why are you having such a hard time letting go?

Try writing out your feelings about her, and about life in general.

Also, try exercise. It's a good way to help deal with stress.
 
man, you do need a life. not to dump it on ya but you got to get yourself in the right direction. It does not help to think of it all the time. Just get your mind off of this girl that is making your go crazy. You're young and have a lot ahead of you so don't waste your time feeling sorry for yourself. Think of positive things you can do to improve your life. such as studying, exercising, learning new skills, etc.... One thing you'll have to keep in mind is to built up self confidence and believe in yourself. If you think you can't have her? well you cant have her. but if you can built up selfesteem you'll get the girl and you CAN have girl.

I used to be like that Xenon. One trick I found, and it's kind of cruel on the girl, but I would imagine all the selfish sh!t they would do to me. Whenever I thought of that, it always turned me off and my mind would immediately snap out of the funk. Another thing to try, play sports and work. Keep yourself busy. If your sitting around all day doing nothing, it gives you more time to wreck your psyche. Keep yourself busy and your mind busy, pretty soon you won't think about the girl at all. That one really worked for me very well.
 
omg xenon, I just went through the same thing about a month ago. my g/f broke up me a couple days before our 9 month anniversary, and about a week later told me she's interested in another another person I know. That floored me, and I became really bitter for a bit. But, I couldn't show it much b/c she's in half my classes and comes help my roommate with hw. Anyways, I swore off relationships and girls for awhile. As for the depression, I find capping some terrorists in counterstrike helps a bunch, as well as AT forums, especially OT. There's tons of funny posts out there, and as you can see plenty of fellow ATers to converse with that like to help 🙂

my $0.02, even though its probably not worth that much.
 
I don't know if it will help for you, but I exercise religiously to stave off depression. Just about the only thing that works for me.

doesnt prozac deal with depression? i remember my friend told me before...but yea, i think keeping busy is the ebst thing to do...even though you probably wont completely pry your mind off the girl, i dont think theres any way you can completely do that, but remembering you will recover and keeping busy can HELP...
 
I just wanted to briefly put in my two cents. I know a little about depression from personal experience. The depth of which I'm not too confortable airing in a public forum. I consider myself a much happier person now, but that indeed is a long story and I don't want to digress 🙂

A small piece of the answer you seek is in your own statements


<< I'm taking it so seriously >>



There it is. It's hard but once you finish school and begin college, hopefully you can begin to see how high school and all it's activities falls into the greater scheme of things. I probably have had as tough of a high school experience as anyone, which is suprisingly very common.

I wish you luck. With like everything that is worth anything, it takes time and perserverance. Check my spelling and you'll make me a happier person. 😀

Wishing You Happiness.

ps: PM if you need 🙂
 
Well, last sunday, I drank a bottle of jack daniels. I felt really stupid afterwards. Drinking alone is no fun. You need to get out, stop posting on your computer.
 

Have you read this?

If it doesn't help, at least you'd get a good laugh.

When I sometimes get depressed about my disertation, I'd nef. 😀
