Depression, anxiety, suicidalism and similar disorders, issues and troubles V3 - Discussion, help an - General

my parents have been fighting because my mom spent money playing slots. my dad has been extremely pissed and now he's cutting off the internet because that's where mom was doing some of the slots playing. dad is ignorant and doesn't care that everybody else in the household (me, siblings) use the internet every day and that we cannot survive without the internet. i told him that we need it to stay up to date on shit and for the useful information it gives (vidya gaemz and pornography) but he still wants our internet cut, so i will probably not be able to post (or play vidya gaemz). oh also, dad wants a divorce with said mom. i am appalled and i really do want to do something but i cannot. mom left all night and he kept trying to call her, he asked for my phone so he could call for my phone but he didn't tell me he would fucking scream and smash it onto the fucking dinner table. mom has been quiet on the whole situation and dad has been screaming across the household for two fucking days and it is aggravating me. i want to tell them how equally terrible they are but that won't solve anything. anyways yeah, i don't know what to do and i'm not very happy with anything right now.

There's little you can do, I suppose, it seems the best thing for your whole family would be for them to separate but it's not easy to tell them that as a kid, I suppose you could mention it to your mom if she'd listen. Atleast try to talk to her, moms are usually better at listening to their kids while dads often are too proud and stuck in the "dad" role to admit their kids may be right. But then again, it's really hard to talk to your parents about this kinda stuff. I wish the best of luck to you man, I hope things work out eventually! [editline]11th July 2013[/editline] If you have younger siblings, do your best to support them and give them attention - it's harder the younger you are to deal with that kinda shit and fighting parents are never able to care for their kids as well as they should.

It's been almost a year since I changed drastically. I lost motivation and drift for doing that much socialwise, I'm scared of studying because I already failed once. People feel threatening to me, furthermore I'm spending less time with my girlfriend and I'm easily annoyed by her. I want to hide all the time with no drift or anything. Some people say that I'm depressed in a way but I don't always feel sad. I still enjoy some things and I still laugh. It's just that my mood can change drastically. I'm going to a psychologist.

Well, my mother adviced me to take some anti depressiva but my girlfriend is actually really upset by the fact, she says I'm not depressed in any way but only because she once tried to commit suicide and was in a psychatric ward. She thinks that depression is always about suicide, I'm not hardcore enough for having a depression.

I might sound like a silly person but she has been diagnosed with Borderline syndrome and has gone through pretty bad stuff. I can understand that she knows how it feels to have a major depression, but she always tends to an extreme. I don't know if I should take those pills, I'm going to a psychologist but not a psychatrist, so I don't have an official diagnose or anything. My mother still has tons of them because she had also a rough time the last few years.

i'm trying to decide on whether or not to just buy a ticktet to some place far away and just leave for a good while y/n?

Why not? By the way I like your avatar.

I never liked anti-depressives, it felt like they gave them to me, said "take these and we'll see in a year" and just let go of me and waited. Fucking hell, a year let alone a few months feels like a lot of time when I was depressed.

[QUOTE=junker154;41414285]Why not? By the way I like your avatar.[/QUOTE] cheers, guv. same to you [editline]11th July 2013[/editline] on an additional note, ive found the anti-depressants extremely helpful so far. only been on them a week, but im already feeling like my head is a lot clearer and im much less anxious

I doubt that for some reason, most anti-depressants tend to work after two weeks or more. You might experience a placebo :v:

your avatars are so similar they confuse me hahh

The solution to one of my problems is blocked by another problem of mine, and to fix that problem is really hard thanks to my depression. I don't know. I just feel so lost. Motivation is really low as well, because I'm aware that I have been trying to cure this bullshit for over 5 years now. Nothing works. All kinds of antidepressants, psychology, treatment center/hospital. But yeah, as I said earlier in this thread, I fear how my family would react if I killed myself. They have done nothing wrong, and they deserve better than that.

And yeah I'm fairly certain it is just a placebo, but I'm not complaining [editline]11th July 2013[/editline] i am now extremely anxious about making a big fuss over nothing though, so thank you, junker

*tries to do something creative and makes another photoshop thread* [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1288559&p=41426727#post41426727[/url] I really don't know why I bother anymore. No matter what kind of effort I make I'm told how bad an idea it was and that I'm dumb. Meanwhile a few threads down some guy with a fedora and a lighthouse behind him is raking it in. I lose sleep over shit like this.

This summer I've been making lots of changes in my life for the better, spending time with friends and meeting new people, and just on Thursday I was feeling the best I've felt in a long time; and now it's Saturday, and I spent a few hours with friends, but the second I got home and sat down I started feeling depressed again. Every few days this keeps happening, and now I sitting here wondering what the point of everything I'm doing is. Why am I cleaning up my shithole of a room, why did I cut my hair short and donate it to kids with cancer, why am I bothering to spend time with people and be happy if it dies the second I'm at home. I'm on the verge of tears right now I can't take this.

does anybody know what i should do? i don't know what it is, but i keep getting this feeling like i just can't enjoy anything anymore. things i used to love doing and would spend all day doing just feel like chores. the only time i'm really happy is around friends, as social interaction has, for awhile, been one of the only things that actually makes me feel good, but now even those feelings are waning. what am i supposed to do? i just feel alone very often.

I'm going to a psychatrist on tuesday, I'm actually quite excited about it. I have never been to one, except when I was a little child due to aggression. I wonder how it will be like.

I got fed up with people mocking my hair and how it made me look so I shaved most of it off. Edited: Why are people rating this winner? I shaved my head just so people would like me.

I need some advice, I get these little bouts of racist thoughts/mentality (I guess, even though I have some awesome family members) and I head to [I][U]stormfront[/U][/I] to read white nationalist news and crap like that, it probably happens every 2-5 months and it doesn't seem to go away. It just now started again with the "Trayvon justice" stuff going down in LA. Anyone have this/what should I do/help etc etc

Well, it's been a long time since i've been on facepunch, >___> and when i do come back i find myself needing some place to pour my heart out. This year has probably been the shittiest year of my life. I took my finals, and finished feeling i failed in every way possible. My father was forced into early retirement, due to some dickhead doing some shenanigans and accusing the place where he works of corruption. My mother recently was diagnosed with a chronic knee joint degradation, which would be normal if she was a bit older, but as of now it's too early, and now she can barely walk properly. Now we're stuck with a crippling mortgage, the prospect of my family's only two sources of income evaporating, my brother still in university with even more crippling fees, and me, stuck here powerless being the youngest. I want to cry so damn bad, but i know i can't. I don't expect a reply, i just needed some place to pour my feelings out...thanks for anyone who bothered to read. TT____TT

might as well post here even though my problems are nothing compared to others been feeling down more recently, ive been neglecting alot of people on steam and thus now im feeling lonely i have real friends, but they usually have to initiate social stuff with me rather than vice versa, and ive been trying to fix that by doing stuff with them, but they are usually busy with work i want to find work to keep my mind off these things and afford stuff i want but no luck anyways, most of my friends are gone on vacation and or too busy to hang out with me, ive lost pretty much all my steam friends, and im bored and have nothing but the computer to keep my attention daily been trying to get out more and excersize more often, just spent 3 hours yesterday outside and bought myself this deck building game called ascensions, but i have nobody to play with tried playing with my brother today but hes too sleepy and promised to try tomorrow so yay hopefully ill have an hours worth of family fun yay! [editline]18th July 2013[/editline] time to drink this booze that will help me achieve nothing at all

What happened to this thread? It used to be more active than this... I really need to stop browsing random friend of Facebook friends profiles. It infuriates me when I see people on Facebook living MY dreams surrounded by people who like them while I'm trapped in my fucking room staring at a computer monitor all day sitting at my desk. I've been sleeping for about 11 hours a day and spending the rest on the computer for the past month. There's just no reason for me to be waking up anymore (at least until classes start up again). I haven't had contact with anyone except my immediate family for about two months. I still can't do anything that makes me happy.

Wrecked my car tonight just when I was getting close to being able to afford a place. Might get kicked out of parents house for the wreck. Crushing on a girl who isn't as into me as I am to her. Not depressed just needed to vent thanks.

Tried to kill myself 2 days ago but couldn't do it. I'm not even bothering with trying to see a psychiatrist anymore because it takes so long to get an appointment and my mood cycles from okay to awful so often that I might go and be fine on the day. I don't know what to do

i'd rather tell a story about somebody else
