Things that helped me lessen my younger bipolar depression:
1: Girls. I think it is #1 for everyone, having an amazing girl in your life really can turn everything around and give it a different meaning. BUT, by no means is that something you need to rush. So lets move on to #2..

2: Groups. I joined Drama Club at school and I made friends. Drama Club is a good one because everyone is a little different and there will ALWAYS be someone weirder than you xD! I am not recommending this, but also after joining the marines and having PT with all these other poolee men. Well, its ****ing great. We all love each other. Join something where that seems like a possibility

3: Psychedelic experience. I am not really recommending this either it could set anyone in a wild direction. For me though, it sent me from hanging around trap houses and lowly friends into a lifelong dedication of great fitness and nutrition habits. There is a reason it has been a ritual in hundreds of cultures around the world. I got a little socially off/distorted, so some would view that as a downside. Anyways.. that brings me to #4

4: Health. Most depression can be identified by chemical imbalances. Even the stress of depression itself can cause these imbalances to happen. It is not a miracle cure, but exercising on the reg and feeling good about your body can make life look much more opportunistic.

5: Learn a cool skill. For me it was guitar. It helped me with #1 if ya get what i'm sayin ;). Also, it is a great way to express emotion. Theres so many other cool skills that will make you feel good about yourself. Skateboarding, motorcycles, sports, instruments, cooking, magic, ect xD you do you

What if I am gay or just a straight girl?

What if I am gay or just a straight girl?

I was coming from my perspective. I am a straight guy.
I don't know if girls would feel the same way about guys and it's not my place to assume.

Get a life
lol  

Church, can be a great help. Even if you aren't a theist, you can still visit them, not because you aren't a part of their community, they accept any religion. Most of them are old ones, yes, but they are helpful in your problem. I already experienced this.  

The only church I go to is the Graal City Cathedral  

To pick up gurls of course.

I've struggled with depression in my past. It's very hard to break from it but it is possible. Here is what has worked for me:
1. Stay active. Don't be alone doing nothing where you have time to think negative thoughts. Make lots of friends. Talk to people all the time. Try helping other people with problems they have. I've found that trolling Colin relieves a lot of stress.
2 exercise. It's proven that exercise can relieve stress. Also, something that has worked for me is the harder you work out the less depressed you are. I think this is because when you workout really hard you get so tired you can barley think.
3. Eat healthy - sometimes people are depressed or more depressed then normal because of chemical imbalance. Eating a proper diet can help regulate.
4. Some will disagree with this one but it hands down worked for me. Get a relationship with Christ. I didn't want to do therapy, I knew I didn't want to be depressed but I couldn't shake it. It would always come back. Then I found Christ and depression was removed. Even when I go through hard times I am no longer depressed. It was the weirdest thing when Christ removed it. I could feel it. I'm sure people here will disagree with this (Colin), this is because he's never experienced a relationship with Christ. I promise if you ask anyone that has a relationship with Christ they can testify to this truth. This is not some tooth fairy type of thing it's real, and you once you come to know Christ nothing will make you doubt it.

I hope you get rid of that depression quick bro.



Are you serious? Are you really going to try and belittle someone's faith and religion? Come on man, I know you're a good moderator.




Jesus is not a joke bro.





You think that because you're a heathen. It was actually the best advice he received in this thread.





You really are a fool and have no idea what you're talking about.

1. I run a guild Though we have too many subs so not everyone is active on one sub which causes me to have more time to think negative thaughts.
I think before I speak literally.
2. I fence With a sword that looks like the graal nub sword Its a fullbody workout
3.No No I want my chips and burgers Diets will make me more depressed
4.Hmm maybe a relationship with christ might help, I used to have a strong one when I was not depressed so I guess I should start again.

Sad to see people joking about with a serious topic. Well sardon I suffered depression for 3 years and self harmed a fair bit. all I can really say is seek help its the hardest thing you can do but its the best way of getting over this I found help in the form of my girlfriend who has been an amazing help with me in life. speak to a parent or a trusted friend its the best thing you can do for yourself.



church will not help you.

I suffered depression for about 5 years but its been on me more than usual, it originaly began when I changed school and people were mean to me because I didnt fit in. My parents are ok but My parents are.....
and I can speak to my friends about this but it depends on the situation, my best friend is moving so its only getting harder next year.

Relation****s are bad Although im tempted to try them They are what keeps a man from doing what a man wants to be doing, Relationships take sacrifice and im not willing to sacrifice all I have  

I never fit in in any community. The reason school isn't hard for me, is because I was smart, and everyone who tried to bully me, gets it back. Who knows what I do after they bully me. If anyone tried bully me again, pretty sure, they are done for.  

Even you're not religious, most people there gives greater advices.

Don't think about depression, it will just make you more depressed. The best thing is go to a park or something then try to make guy friends rather than girls cause most of them just reply "I have a boyfriend."

Asked a girl if my bus left, she replied "I have a boyfriend".

Asked a girl for direction, she replied "I have a boyfriend".
