Depression

Awone.

What makes you depressed?

Hang in their OP. Don't give up.

What happened Op ?

Take some cyanide, dearie. Your problems will vanish and you will wake up in hell.

I've been feeling unusually down too. More so than in years. These past 2 years have set me back. OP, it might be a combination of your brain chemistry amplified by our unusually negative world and this strange time in which we are living. Maybe shake up your routine, add something new or change up a series of small things. Something to shake you out of the spiral. I'm trying to figure out what I should do too.

Can I have your stuff, OP?

With gloryholes no longer readily accessible. The instances of depression are greatly increased. The demise of Kmart is a national tragedy.

Many gay men can only have sexual congress in parks, rest stops, where it is pitch black. I wonder how they are doing now when they cannot ever show themselves.

Big hugs, OP.

Come to the I Want To Eat An Entire Cake thread.

Relax and indulge. We won’t judge you there.

Go to a hospital and tell them you need to see a doctor from the Psych Ward....They will do the rest...

R10 There is probably less regret and nausea. Some things are better left unseen.

Christ, I'm getting tired of all the threads like this. There are so many anymore I'm finding it difficult to take them seriously.

OP, if you're for real, go to a doctor and get on some anti-depressants. That's what I did. The good ones work wonders. Or look at some of the threads here about microdosing. A lot of people here say that really helps.

Otherwise, GTFO or STFU.

One time years ago I brought one of my boyish looking lesbian pals to a "cruising" spot in a pitch black park. She was one of those midnight black girls, she thought it was hilarious that gay men partook in such activities every Fri or Sat night.

I know. It's weird. It's almost like some disaster happened on a global scale that increased the mental health crisis or something.

No idea what could possibly be causing all of this depression.

This too shall pass. You will feel better again one day, even though it’s hard to believe right now. Just keep breathing.

Alone? Welcome to the party.

The reason is irrelevant, R16. Take some meds and feel better like other people do -- or they say gummies or some such are readily available.

Sure thing, doc r19.

You can easily scroll past the threads. Yet here you are.

R14 = Exactly..WHY bring DL down with their emotional sorrow?...Go to SS or some other site where your depressing whims can be appreciated...We ALL have problems...

[quote]WHY bring DL down with their emotional sorrow?

From my observation, DL is in a perpetual state of being down and full of miserable people. It's theme is "pointless bitchery." Happy people don't focus on negative, inane, shit to bitch about all day. At least not the sane and happy ones.

This isn't a positive environment by default. Not sure why you two are shocked there are a bunch of depressed posters on here.

^ *Its

They may say April is the cruelest month, but I feel it’s March. If ever there a month to commit suicide in (in the Northern Hemisphere) it’s definitely March.

OP, my heart goes out to you. The world today doesn't help - Russia/Ukraine, Covid, random shootings. I think most people are brought down by today's events but it's all a fucking nightmare to a sensitive, empathetic person. Do you have a primary care physician who can prescribe venlafaxine or some other antidepressant and recommend a psychologist? There is online help for depression - please Google Online Chatrooms for Adults with Depression.

Me too, OP.

How are you doing?

pull UP, bitch!

Whenever I get depressed I watch 100 episodes of Golden Girls. Then I feel completely sane.

Well, it certainly doesn't hurt r28

Get on psychotropic meds. It gets better

We’re living in some tough times. Four years of Trump, then 2 years of the fucking pandemic, now this awful war. I feel like I’ve been bludgeoned with a blunt instrument for the past 6 years and it just keeps coming. That’s why people are depressed, R14 and the rest of you unsympathetic cunts.

Micro dose mushrooms 🍄🍄

Sending you a hug OP. It’s been a rough month.

To the people who click these threads only to write paragraphs that end with “take meds and STFU” - wtf is YOUR problem? Keep fucking scrolling if you don’t want to read this topic. People go through rough times and these threads can be helpful. If that makes you so pissed off that you feel the need to jump on and bitch at the depressed posters - that’s just shitty.

can you get therapy OP? It's really helped me the past few years. No matter what the other assholes post, i care how you feel.

OP, are you doing okay?

For some people, spring = increased depression.

Get a cat!

Promising basis for a haiku.

And give that cat a massage r36!

I've been depressed lately.

I feel like an old failure.

OP, I'm with you. I have moderate depression and anxiety (between mild and severe) and I recently switched one of my meds to Effexor extended release. It has made me feel worse; my anxiety and depression are amplified, I am numbly tired and I want to have a breakdown but after a few weeks now, I"m starting to feel more positive in moments. In a few weeks, I'm sure the negative feelings will diminsh.

Well apparently you Debbie Downers get tremendous satisfaction from public bitching and moaning and crying 'woe is me'.

Depression is part of life.

R39,don’t listen to your head when you are blue . It’s a lie

R40 be very careful if you go off Effexor. The withdrawal is very very difficult - I had a horrible time. Make sure you are closely monitored by your doctor if you do.

R44, thanks for the warning. I have heard similar things about the withdrawal. Definitely wouldn't stop it cold turkey.

I feel like shit tonight too.
