money lol...seriously, just being left alone to my own thoughts and talking it out later (talking can also mean fighting though [i fight in the ring, not street fight])
Wow, I love some of these responses... Suck it up, stop being fags, ignoring them... It's people like you guys that people end up killing themselves over. I have lost 6 friends of mine in the military due to the same attitudes you portray. Just because someone's parents don't die, doesn't mean the issue isn't big to them. Let me take one of my friends who died as an example. This particular person had been married for over 7 years, when all of a sudden, things started to change at home. He eventually found out that his wife didn't feel the same way and wanted to leave him. Now, this particular person had been with the same person since he was 17. She was his life, his one and only. And to him, this was a big deal. When he came to work and tried explaining this to a couple of superior people, they gave him the exact same bull---- you guys are feeding to your "friends". Stop being a fag and get over it. What happened? 2 days later he put a shotgun to his head. The people who responded negatively to this really need to step back and take a look at the larger picture. Not all of us here are 15 year old kids, and the people that call you a friend should seriously reconsider. I know that you are all probably thinking, who cares what the hell this guy says. But I will tell you from personal experience, that if you keep treating your friends that way, one of these days karma is going to come around and bite you in the ass. You'll be the one needing help for an issue others might deem trivial, and you'll end up getting nothing because you were nothing but an asshole to others.
What makes me feel better? Being around my family/boyfriend/friends, they always know how to cheer me up, i also like to talk about what is bothering me at the time, i mainly talk to my boyfriend about these kind of things though, that way i get it off my chest and i feel a whole lot better afterwards. He also acts stupid, tickles me, tells me he loves me and gives me a great big hug and a kiss which makes me feel great!!! heh. He does many things to try and cheer me up which is why i love him! My family also do alot of things to cheer me up which is why i love them It is not good for you to keep everything to yourself, you need to talk about the things that are hurting you inside, things that are bothering you, they only get bigger and worse the longer you keep them inside. Some people find it easier to talk to people on the internet that they dont know rather than speaking to someone in real life, reasons i am not sure of, maybe because they dont know them so they can tell them anything and they wont be laughed at/teased because of the things they have told them. *shrugs* Some people do it for attention also, they want sympathy from other people, that is just the way some people are, maybe they arent getting enough attention at home or they feel left out? There are many reasons as to why people do these things. There are so many things you can do to cheer a person up but i suppose it depends on the person who is down, everyone is different so everyone has different things that cheer them up. Agreed with CP, sorry to hear that hun
Why is there teenage depression anyways.. I don't think anyone between the ages of 13-20 have anything to worry about. Except nobody liking them or something like that..
Hey one thing that works for me is watching Family Guy, or Dave Chappelles Comedy Skits that always finds it ways to cheer me up.
I make people feel better by telling them they could be much worse off. For example my friend was complaining that he was freezing and the only thing he would talk about is how much his coat sucks and how he hates the winter. After I told him to think about the children in the 'third-world' countries who are dying from things like this did he shove a sock down his throat. Although I doubt that this sort of advice is what you're looking for, you may want to keep it in mind.
Talk to them try and have them remeber good memorys. First time beating Halo and legendary, Completeing a personaly goal. Simple stuff like that.
my gf has anxiety and dpression. she takes paxil for it. I guess the best thing u can do is listen to them they always have tons of stuff to get off their chest. stress is huge for them. They tend to cry a lot and have low self-esteem. just listen to them and say nice things to make them feel better. do things for them.
