It's just weird how things all started happening at once. Usually my spirits are as high as they can be, but when everyone you know is in the dumps it kind of gets to you. |

03.26.12 | i was diagnosed with depression, OCD, and tourettes when i was 13. i'm 22 now. it sucks and it has made it hard for me to maintain relationships but i think it's made me a better person in some respects. a more interesting person at least. and if it weren't for my depression, i don't think i would have the appreciation for music that i do now. |

I never tell anybody how I really feel ever, but for some reason with lyrics it just comes out of you |

03.26.12 | "I never tell anybody how I really feel ever"
i used to be like that, but now i really don't give a fuck if people know. it's a part of who i am. |

03.26.12 | I'm sorry to hear that. Just tell them that life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about dancing in the rain. Things aren't as bad as they seem. |

03.26.12 | God, this list. Fucking nostalgia.
I had to quit school when I was fourteen because of severe depression and severe anxiety disorder. Suicide consumed me for like five years, until my dad suddenly got sick. It was then that I found this hidden strength I never knew I had, this unwillingness to give up. I was alone with my dad at 4am when he died, and sometimes I think, by holding his hand when he passed, that I absorbed his strength. Just keep your chin up, buddy. Things always get better. Shoutbox me anytime you want to. I'm a nice guy |

03.26.12 | I was depressed for 4-5 years, tried just about everything, nothing worked... started going to church, found some new friends, and gave up a lot of the nonsense that was making my life miserable... you don't need to come to God, but you shouldn't be afraid to make changes in your life. It sounds so simple, but it's true. |

03.26.12 | Pax: left you a little shout
Activista: I used to attend a church when I was younger, but when I grew up my family just stopped going for some reason. I didn't mind going though. It was a very small church so they weren't trying to get you to do things for them left and right or have you go on missions, and everyone there was friendly. It felt good doing community / volunteer work with them every now and then. |

03.26.12 | feel ya. it's growing up. i drive past my high school sometimes and just feel off. maybe blink got it right |
Activista anti-MTV
03.26.12 | For me, it's not about going to church. For me, it was about discovering what's important and forgetting about all the bullshit that was in my life (which I thought was important, but it wasn't). |
macadoolahicky
03.26.12 | Agreed. |

03.26.12 | Christianity (new covenant) doesn't say anything about homosexuality.
Conservatism does. Many Christians are also conservatives. I guess that's a correlation that you picked up on... |
Trebor.
03.26.12 | Yeah man I can't stand conservatives
Most christians in California are pretty cool, not a lot of rednecks around here |
Activista anti-MTV
03.26.12 | I go to church... I think they accept space aliens where I go sometimes... gay/straight it doesn't
matter. No one is lifting up peoples skirts there... honestly, it's a bit ridiculous to think they
do. |

03.26.12 | Where I live I have to deal with a lot of bigots and homophobes. It must be hard living in the 21st century, for them. |
Activista anti-MTV
03.26.12 | Where I go, there are a lot of young people...
In general, young people are more liberal in their thinking. There are young people that I go to church with that are DEMOCRATS. They have Democratic Senators gracing their bumpers...
Personally, I support gay marriage. I support gay rights. |
auberginedreams
03.26.12 | "Personally, I support gay marriage. I support gay rights."
i'm a conservative christian and so do i. its not like all religious people are bigots. also i know a ton of liberal christians (honestly i think most of the people at my catholic church are liberals) so i'm not sure why everyone thinks that christianity and liberalism are mutually exclusive. |

03.26.12 | "listen to posi pop punk and man up."

Activista anti-MTV
03.26.12 | It's a pretty common misconception, but you know... if you're depressed, it doesn't matter. Nothing
else matters than this: get better and get back to us, among your peers whoever they are. Trebor's
comment is insensitive, to the list-maker, and it belies a deep-seated ignorance on his part and
others'. |

paxman
03.26.12 | Yeah, I know. One of my best friends, a friend I've had for many years, is gay, and in the time that I've spent with him I've really come to appreciate his struggle for acceptance. I just really loathe homophobia. |

03.26.12 | New Gift of Gab album stream came out recently... the only reason I mention it is this: song reminds me of Trebor
Gift of Gab - Rise
"When you do more talking than walking, it's like the blind leading the blind." Awesome song #uplifting #hiphop |

03.26.12 | I'll open up myself here, because none of you know me anyway. I have Bipolar Disorder, and I mean it is truly out of control sometimes and I have had suicidal thoughts almost on a regular basis. I started smoking Marijuana to deal with it, it really helps with depression, better than meds. I recommend it to anyone who struggles with depression. that and music, it just dissolves everything away. |
auberginedreams
03.26.12 | you mean trebor has the gift of gab? lol, he does post a lot. like in every list i read trebor is sure to have left a trail of posts. he has like 20, 000 posts and he hasn't been here more than like a year and a half. it must be this supernatural force known as "gift of gab" that allows him to make so many comments in such little time. |

03.26.12 | 'If you love music chances are you're depressed' wonder if that's true. |

so fuck em. |

03.26.12 | Depression = physically impossible to feel any sort of pleasure. If you still like anything at all, then you're not depressed, you're just sad. So shut up. |

03.26.12 | I always enjoy the trend of "unhappy = depressed" myself, it's quite easy to get pills that way. |
jdennis31
03.26.12 | ^how so? i want xanax |
Acanthus
03.26.12 | Simple, just be feeling down (not having the chemical imbalance often associated with clinical depression) and then go to your local doctor/councilor.
You'll have those little prescription pads flying at you in no time. |
someguest
03.26.12 | sad you think that's ok acanthus
anything to make a buck |
Acanthus
03.26.12 | No, I think it's common for people to want pills to fix all their issues; my ex abused prescription meds, depression ones included. |
someguest
03.26.12 | just 'feeling down' is not a reason to load up on a drug. now if you can't fucking function without wanting to die, that's another story. |
jdennis31
03.26.12 | oh.... no i just want some recreational drugs. |
jdennis31
03.26.12 | and actually xanax does make life more tolerable. even more so than just marija |
someguest
03.26.12 | honestly i like being sober |
jdennis31
03.26.12 | actually yah, i'm glad that i can't get pills cause i do have an addictive personality, but im not fond of being sober. i'm a fairly angry person. though i'm sure there are other things other than weed that could help, like exercise helps alot but other than when i have a natural high or illicit high i'm usually angry |
Acanthus
03.26.12 | I have issues with people automatically assuming they're depressed, as well as our current in-ability to perform any accurate scientific test for depression. As something that is often diagnose using the patients own responses and a mental state exam it irks me. |
jdennis31
03.26.12 | yeah, kind of ironic since i was just talkin about wanting xanax, but pill heads are some of the worst kind of drug abusers i've seen. i've honestly never met someone who was an all out fiending crack head, mainly because shit is expensive and most college aged kids that use coke do it occasionally, but pills are fairly cheap and easily abusable. sucks that they are so easy to get, thus the cheap black market prices, i'm assuming |
macadoolahicky
03.26.12 | I am pretty sure my two best friends' 'depressions' are just results of all that's going on to them: suicide of a friend, bad grades, fear of applying for college when they don't know what they want to do, etc. All things that should pass with time, most likely. Hopefully. |
someguest
03.26.12 | mac that's how I view it too, almost like shutdown procedure when shit gets thick. |

Brother been depressed and still suffering, mom been depressed, me suffering from social anxiety to the point where people think I'm mad at them for avoiding them or gay in the case of girls. I think it's music that has prevented me from getting really depressed, I forgot my headphones one day and I felt horrible without my music for even a relatively short 8 hours of time.
