You can get out of it, I’ve done it several times. Was once diagnosed as clinically depressed. Find a spot in your brain to open space, or your psyche really, a place where nothing else comes in unless it comes from deep outside. Meditate, sometimes depression can teach you how to do it.
Soul train : i always use Soul Train I’m feeling down.

I know laughing doesn’t cure depression but this one always makes me laugh. Hope you either feel better, get the help you need to feel better or both! Sorry about the potato quality.
I already saw the brain doctor and got a prescription. They are putting me on Cymbalta, heard anything about it? Also, they are coming from the VA veterans administration, not the state ) so I might get them NEXT week…
Also, three out of the five people in that skit are dead, the other two, their careers are dead. And you are right, laughing doesn’t cure it, it is still there afters, even when shit is funny, but it is a nice momentary distraction. I also discovered that masterbation also doesn’t help, well for about five minutes, then it stopped helping. Ain’t that a bitch.
Why do you have to wait? And I think my uncle was given cymbalta when he couldn’t piss.
well I’m sorry you’re hurting. done a few of those.
Here are some scientific facts, proven by scientific studies.
1. Social media, Facebook et al, will depress you and if you’re already depressed, it will trigger you. Stop comparing your insides to other peoples outsides. close the fucking computer window and open the outside one.
2. Physical exercise relieves depression like nothing else. big time. Hit the gym if you go. Walk, just fucking walk. Around the room, around the house, around the block. walk and cry, you will be fucking amazed at the shit that comes out when you mix churning your gut with churning your heart. Back when i was “Am I depressed because my business is failing, or is my business failing because I’m Depressed?” I used to go out behind the shop and smash pallets with a sledge hammer. Man the shit i said to my parents and ex wife and customers and employees and so on when that pallet smashing shit was going on. suppressed anger is really good at feeding depression, too. but i digress…
3. Medication will help. don’t be afraid to try something else if Cymbalta doesn’t click in 4-6 weeks. I tried 3 or four, Ive been on effexor forever, like, 20 years. tapered off to a very light maintenance dose. but do it like your Dr. says.
4. If you are ex military and the VA is ignoring your needs, I feel for you. Support groups are everywhere now, I guess. Yeah there’s studies for that too.
And don’t believe everything you think. if you believe you can get better and act on that belief, well, there you go. if you don’t, well, here you are.
Love and Peace out
Nice, erinzdad.
Because all my meds from the VA come via the mail or UPS.
I am ex military and so far the hospital and doctors that I used have been very responsive. I am happy with them right now. Check back later.
It’s kinda like that story running from a bear. Find someone who has it worse then you, and be their positive roll model. But then again I am on 100mg of Zolfot.
Ah, I was assuming something nefarious with the VA.
Nice!
Try edging? As a dude, I’ve heard you can keep yourself very occupied in solitary confinement by edging. From what I understand it works by taking yourself right to the “edge” of an orgasm and stopping. That’s the game. You finish you lose. Never had the chance to try it, the volleyball girls make me lose every time. The meds ought to help keep you from finishing. Don’t know if it works for women. Now back to E.32.20’s post for more depression distracting masturbation!
Well, since I am not a dude, I am not sure I could pull that off. 0.o what I mean to say is, In the past, when I was just almost there and some dumb interruption happened that caused me to hit the breaks it actually makes me hit the brakes, turn off the car, get out, lock the doors and throw the keys in the river and you can forget about riding in that car any place for the rest of the night. I am definintly a hit or miss kind of gal.
I don’t know if you saw it or not before the server change ate it, but about 3 years ago I made a post showing the process of my latest tattoo, which was drawn by our own Mr. Ghouls. Although the drawing he did was (and still is) fucking amazing, the most important part of the tattoo is the quote that is integrated into it. That quote is a line from a Concrete Blonde song that goes “life is beautiful and terrible and strange.” That line, to me, perfectly encapsulates the life experience. Every day there are moments that take your breath away, make you want to cry your eyes out, and make your brain hurt. But the thing is, all of those moments are worth experiencing, and not to be missed, even if it seems like you’re having more than your share of the latter two variety.
It sucks. Hope it’s getting easier for you. Physical activity and making/breaking things works for me some.
