Ive probably been dealing with depression most my life. Im 17 now and have been feeling this way since I was around 9. Before then, I was a happy child living a normal life (as normal as it can be when your mother divorced your abusive father, but after my uncle died Ive been slowly slipping into depression. After learning how my uncle (now aunt) had tried and almost succeeded in killing himself, Ive slipped further into it. At first I thought it was just a sad mood that would go away but after gaining 100 lbs, not getting enough sleep at night, noticing my slowness and lack of energy, increase in appetite, lack of concentration, feelings of worthlessness and thoughts of suicide; some of which coming close to attempted suicide (I have held a knife to my wrists a lot of times and was about to actually do it, then I remembered mom would be sad. I might just be a teen saying he has depression to some of you, but I think I genuinely have it, and I cant get help. I have a boyfriend who loves me and an uncle and mom who care for me but all I feel towards most of them is just apathy and a lack of caring. Thank you for reading this comment.

I wanted to kill myself for a long time. I almost did, but I got better. If anyone cares, heres how I did it. I started telling myself I am happy, I am loved, I am important, I am worthy of love, I am beautiful, I radiate love and kindness, and I am capable of anything. When I said these things, I didnt believe any of it. I didnt feel like I believed it either. Regardless, I wrote these affirmations down everyday and told myself these things everyday. It helped so much and it allowed me to build and emotional foundation that Ive stood on till this day. Please remember that you are strong, your are worthy of love, and you are capable of absolutely anything. even being happy. I love everyone reading this message. Stay safe!

Depression is nothing.
1. Feelings are temporary. STAY STRONG nd live proudly.
2. Always remember if you smile at a person he will respond same.
3. Mediatate
4. I suggest every hindu to chant hanuman chalisa you will start feeling positivity within 3 or 4 days.
5. If you are not in condition to make dicisions about life then talk with someone and take advice.
6. Remeber its all illusion in your mind but you are the owner of your life and you know how to control it and live amazingly.
7. Its all upto you so be optimistic.
I am sharing from my personal experience and remember don't ever be extreme for anything like love, success etc. come on man its life live more.

When you want to say something but there is nobody to listen even when you pray namaz you feel emptiness inside, when you always smile and prefers other peope's need but there is nobody for you, when you love your family over everything and you want their attention in your difficult times but there is nobody in the house to listen to you because everybody is being tortured at their own place, when you see someone you love is going through pain because of you but you are unable to do anything.

And the only thing you can do as a person is just to open your eyes and heart as well because you will never know whose life gonna end up soon. Instead of saying thousand useless things just say to your friend, colleague, student, teacher,
Siblings Do you want me to wait and listen to you. Don't worry I am always there for you and feel free to call me. because you will never know may be this call is that person last call and your call may become that person last hope.

ik im 4 years later but here is a piece of advice
Accept the world for what it is and get on with your life
Just because something puts you down doesnt mean anything is going to change, the world and your life will go on. It is up to YOU to struggle through the pain because there WILL be a reward
UNDERSTAND YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE AND THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE IT WORSE THAN YOU
NOW GO ON AND LIVE LIFE BROTHERS AND SISTERS!

When you feel so helpless to have suicidal thoughts, when you always cry alone, when you need just listening ears but you feel nobody is there, when you are in that phase where you feel even your prayers are not being accepted, when you give your percent and get up again and again, this is the period where anything does not matter anymore and the only thing that comes in your mind is suicide, this phase is depression.

The problem is there people (singers like Lana del rey, lorde, billie ellish and other crazy celebrities) are COOLING DEPRESSION (making it cool, and a lot of teenagers or anyone without real reasons are pretending they're depressed just look cool like them, and the REAL DEPRESSED PEOPLE can't express their feelings because of those samples

Mr.
Two lovers, forbidden from one another
A war divides their people
And a mountain divides them apart
Built a path to be together
. Yeah, and I forget the next couple of lines, but then it goes.
Secret tunnel!
Secret tunnel!
Through the mountain!
Secret, secret, secret, secret tunnel! Yeah!
