Everyday I see more and more people posting their depressed, and the sadly reality is most of us are. Some luckier than others. Many have taken their lives. I've been fighting depression for 3 years now and this year i got over it no longer have it. So I'm just going to try and help you. Firstly this isn't going to be some stupid shit like "go outside and talk to people" cause no that's stupid.




Firstly: Friend, many people dont have friend of very little friends, including me. At the beginning of this year i had one.


Advice: Now luckily for me I had 1 friend and I banged out with him an he went to groups and I sat with him so I may people like that.


If you have no friends. I have had no friends before the feeling is terrible but here's what you can do, best place to make friends at school is in class. Maybe crack a joke while doing groupwork or help people with their work. Now this may not sound like it works but I can say I've made many friends like this.



Secondly: not doing anything, people parting and going to friends houses, getting no messages: now I don't go anywhere I go to school come home and play Xbox and repeat this have me HUGE anxiety. I got depressed cause people wanted to see my whatsapp and I didn't talk to anyone so that ganna think imma a "loner" "no friends" endless names and that's contributed to my depression alot.


Advice: Find something you like to do, I only found mine 3 years later, I go on weekends to surf with my dad, with my dad not friends so you can do your hobby with anyone. Also with the messages thing I don't know what advice to give cause in saying all of this on past experience. I just talk to people when they message me and Show anyone my whatsapp.



Anyway hopefully this helped just a little and if you ever just want to talk about something I'm here just on me and we can talk. I'm open about my depression as I'm passed it I look back it as a part of my story.


Just stay postive and realise things can only go better. Someone always had it worse than you. Keep your head up and SUICIDE IS NEVER THE ANSWER.  DON'T GIVE INTO THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAY YOU CAN'T. 

Those who tell you that you can't do it are the ones so have failed and even if you fail you failed your attempt not your life. You fail when you give up but don't give up, try again. By giving up you are agreeing with those who said you can't those who told you that you worthless.

It's different for a lot of people as it is a frame of mind, finding people to trust and get advice from can be hard for others as they could of started to get depressed from someone they trusted etc.

Not trying to be mean but this is a bit pointless as you didn't really give that much 'advice' and more so just stated a little about things that have happened to you. Telling someone 'just stay positive' does nothing but make it worse, since you know if they could. They would.

I'll probably make a thread about this, more in depth with how to get over depression as well.
