Pretty much.
yeah, life sucks, and you’re gonna be miserable forever. whatever. I just let myself be miserable and keep doing whatever I was gonna do.
It’ll get better, hun. You have to hold out hope. It only stops if you give up.
The meds don’t always work. Sometimes it feels like it takes forever to find the right one. I know I said that the right mindset helps a lot too, but let’s be honest, the right meds really matter.
I hope you find the right ones, yo.
Depression is a monster. Don’t fight it alone. That wouldn’t be fair to you.
I’m sorry you’re feeling that way. It doesn’t sound like much from some random bonehead online, but I’m in the same boat. Taking an SRII because my last two meds didn’t work, now this one isn’t either.

Dude, I’m depressed right now. I’m taking quetiapine for it. But that doesn’t mean it’s out of my hands. I still have the power to do something.
I’m trying really desperately to be positive. I’m trying to keep my head above the water because I have to. It’s my choice. Even when I’m at my lowest point yet, it’s still within my power to keep going.
Maybe it’s just how I feel, but it really does keep me going. The Seroquel probably helps, but just pushing myself on seems to have some sort of positive effect. It motivates me. It makes me want to write more. The idea of writing more makes me want to keep going all by itself.
Sometimes, it feels like my mind is all I have. But it gives me strength. Maybe my method wouldn’t work for everyone, but it keeps me going. I’m not dead yet.
Mentality and mindset is what I mean. Also, anyone who has ever been severely depressed will tell that it is completely impossible to just “snap out of it”, or “make the change you want to see in the world”. Severe depression is a disability, not a character flaw. Trying to pep-talk someone with “you have to make things better” is going to make a depressed person feel even worse, because a lot of the time they are also struggling with issues of self-image and worth. What they will end up thinking is “I’m such a pathetic whiner, everyone would be better off without me.”
Some people get over depression, others snap and lash out, some commit suicide, and others just linger in that state forever. It would be solipsistic to believe that there’s a simple answer for everyone: “just fix the problem”. The world isn’t kind enough to let everyone live well. There just isn’t enough happiness to go around.

It doesn’t depend upon the person. It depends upon the person’s mentality and mindset. You really do have to believe it gets better. If you don’t put forth the effort and actually try to make things better, they never will. Everything will just stagnate.
You have to make it happen. The world isn’t kind enough to just do it for you.
Edited because: I forgot to add things
It doesn’t get better. You get better… sometimes. Depends on the person.

Well shit, that just made the Lego Movie even more heartwrenching.
what you need is a cute little unicorn filly to wake up.
Lol, ikr?
@Background Pony #00FF
People say stuff like this a lot, but do they mean it? Do you not know anyone IRL who is in a similar situation, but you don’t do the same for them?
@lackey_h
@Van
Lol, that response is perfect.
Seems like a poor choice of words to say to someone who’s terribly depressed, really :p

Which I kinda want now…
