Id love to have the problems now that I thought I had when I was 18. Def seek professional help, cause lifes problems dont get better in time.

I'd love to have the problems you thought you and when you were 18 too.

So, grief is a big trigger for my depression.

Someone at my work lost her mother. She asked me if it got better. I said, I don't want to lie to you. It's going to take a long while and even then you won't get over it. For me, like Mash, losing a child was worse than anything I can imagine though.

Stick it out, man. I think this will get better.

It's okay to mourn... it takes about a year to get through it for those that are close to you...

I'm neither small nor weak by any means. It took at least that much time when I lost my dad last year, still not over it fully, but I am better... I lost my grandmother this morning (my last grandparent), but I will get through that as well...

Hang in there...

Sorry about your grandma man. I lost mine a few years ago. She was actually the only grandparent I ever knew. There's been a lot of deaths in the family for me, but I'll find a way to get through this just like I did with the other tragedies.

Seek professional help. Seriously. Counseling/therapy.

Agree. As well-intentioned as we are here, you should seek out professional help. There is no shame in it, it's a good first step to better days.

Also someone suggested getting in shape - couldn't agree more, there is only upside to that.

My other 2 cents would be turn off the tv if you watch a lot - it's honestly wasting time watching genetic sitcoms or all these sick crime/murder shows that fill the airways, etc...it's like Cheetos for the brain, may taste good but no nutritional value. And those CBS crime shows as just disturbing - what is wrong with ppl that these are top rated shows?

Best advice I have gotten is "garbage in, garbage out" - if you are consuming bad stuff it's just no good...your mid is stewing on junk.

Finally, get off the Internet - it's a classic way to avoid human contact.

No offense intended to anyone and if I presumed something off apologies, hope this advice helps and you get going in right direction .

PS... Stay away from depressants such as alcohol...

I listen to Hank Williams Sr. songs when I am depressed.

Hanks the man about keeping it simple.

Half of the board probably doesn't even know who that is. Very unfortunate.

When a depressed person reaches out, the situation is quite often serious.
It's likely to have been present for several weeks, and any recent event that we think just started the timeline, may in fact represent the last straw.

We should therefore refrain from anecdotes or suggestions or remedies, and refer that individual to professional help immediately.

If you encounter someone in this situation, the best thing you can do as a friend is to get the individual an appointment, and take them to it.
