I keep getting depressed.

Oh look! Another pointless shitpost of me ranting!! Isn't it wonderful that you get listen to me complain for another few minutes! I sure hope you like melodramatic complaining! ... ... ... For those who didn't immediately leave (like you probably should), I've found myself becoming disheartened frequently over the past few months. Just now I decided to check out Arby n Chief for the first time and although it was hysterical, the ending prompted me to write this. Playing vidoegames, sketching, watching youtube, and even doing nothing make me depressed now even though they've been my favorite hobbies. It also doesn't help that my Grandpa and Monty Oum (one of my inspirations) both died on the same day a few weeks ago. Part of me thinks I'm just stuck and that I'll never move forward... Then the other part tells me that that's bullshit and that I should get a move on. Is there any advice to move out of this limbo? Edit: thank you to everyone who bothered to reply, It really helps to know that not everyone on b.net is intellectually deficient. As a side note, I'm not "depressed" as in the chemical disorder, I've just been in a low rut lately and am feeling down. Edit #2 (man I'm just full of these): One of my recurring sources of disheartening media is the web show known as Zero Punctuation. This show has, singlehandedly, made me begin to hate videogames. It has turned one of my favorite hobbies into something that nags at the back of my mind like an angry stepmother. I try to avoid this by not watching any if his videos but of find myself being drawn back to them like some twisted form of stockholm syndrome combined with waterboarding.

      • U just have to find a way to live with it like the rest of us. Doing something is only masking it. Don't deny who u are. Accept it. It's a part of u. The dark and the light. Enjoy them both.

        • Hey buddy, my name is Kyle. I've been in your shoes before, (I think we all have) but more recently have I come out of a down season, so I hope these few thing that I have to share can help you see that you can overcome anything. To begin, a relative received a sobering diagnosis. My aunt, which has been my guardian for 19 years, was diagnosed with colon cancer a few weeks ago. To add some perspective to the significance of this fact, the reason she was assigned as my guardian is because my biological mother died of cervical cancer. This is a horrifying reminder of the pain that we face in this life. Psychological and physical. Whether the circumstances be in our control or whether we are at the mercy of the father above. I may not know your walk or how close you were to your grandfather, but he's in good hands. I would like to encourage you to step out of your comfort zone. I'm 21 years old and my life has taken me for a ride I never would have asked for. I'm alone in a 1 bedroom apartment, 100 miles from home, but I keep my head up, and I embrace those who suffer as I have because it's not called "a need" for a reason. You're one of a kind and you're loved. Live your life as such, and let no one stop you from achieving happiness. Never let your heart be troubled with the deficiencies of this life. That does not mean you shouldn't face them and tackle them head on, but keep peace and love in your heart and you can overcome the world. God bless you, my dear friend.

                    • Coconut oil either by the spoonful or added into food (say like on top of French toast instead of butter and syrup) is healthy. It helps balance brain chemicals. Look into different fatty acids and experiment on how your body breaks them down and which ones "boost" you. Also during your low points eat some dark chocolate depending on your taste buds anything 75% or higher (the higher the better). That will release serotonin and help you feel better ad over all healthy for the body. Last but not least exercise a small regimen or a large one but as long as you get some in.

                      • Take some walks. When the weather permits, a ten minute walk everyday is great. Switch gaming habits. If you play a single game nonstop, then switch and repeat, try changing the game every day or so, and vice versa. Or, find a constructive hobby. Example: programming. Whenever I'm particularly bored, I work on either the class project, or my own game.

                          • Exercise is actually amazing to help get rid of depression. What it will do is release endorphins in your body and give you a psychological sense of accomplishment for doing it. And it's not just the simple exercise, but your self betterment as a whole. When you're stuck in a rut you go out and do new things. Adrenaline Is one of the best ways to get your mind off things. Anecdote incoming: I used to be a fat depressed little bastard in high school. About my junior year I started heavily working out with the intention of joining the Marine Corps. 6 years later and I'm no longer depressed on a daily basis. Sure, I'll get sad every once in a while, but I went from being clinically diagnosed with depression to occasionally saying "meh". What you need to understand is that there are people on this forum who were like you and have overcome it, or still are but have found great tips and tricks to stave it off. You aren't alone in that, and if you do come here asking for advice, at least try it out rather than doing the same old things that don't work.

                            • You should talk to your doctor, depression only gets worse if you leave it to fester. Do yourself a favour and seek professional help.

                                • Ok so the one thing I'd advise you to do is take care of yourself and leave everyone else. The key to recovery is repairing your self mentally and in my case that was to stop being so kind and caring and in some ways I guess be selfish. Do what you want-not what others tell you. Someone less significant than family or yourself got a problem that's something like their partner just left them? It's none of your business. By focussing on yourself and less on others it will free up hours of time you spent on someone else and will benefit you and once you recover (even though it can take a while), you will be in a state well enough to help others. Also listen to things like what Karissa said. A blend of different things really help get over things like this such as exercise, being social/antisocial and a change of diet. If you're not already better, get better soon.

                                  I'd suggest going to talk to a counselor or therapist if you're able to. Worst thing that can happen is you get to vent for a few appointments, gain some insight, and grow a little bit. Sorry for your loss man.

                                • Most stuck in a depressive state do not want to hear this but here it is. In order to move past it, you have to make the conscious choice to actually ignore those feelings. If you start feeling depressed, remind yourself of good things, or go and do things. The only way to defeat depression is to be proactive in defeating it. Also, I must note, there is depressed for reasons, and depressed without reason. The difference being that depressed without reasons is chemical, and depressed with reasons is part of a normal mental process. tldr; It is ok you are depressed you lost someone you loved.
