depression

Without life no anime. Without anime there's still life. Life > Anime

@xynox @punhero HERETICS!, Everyone knows otakus can live on just ramen noodles @yami Dont you do it, new anime is coming out

Dont just go around and say that you are depressed,there are many types of mental disorders... I thought that i am depressed but i am not... i have some bulls*it that is rare and didnt tell about it even to my family...But guys,just look around even if you have some mental disorder dont just go and commit a suicide... Find some hobby,look around you...You guys arent alone...But you still have to live so you cant go and say that anime is life but you can say that animes helped you to live easier...If you really cant do anything ask for profesional help... I myself am easy controling it outside and at home i just let it go... I am lazy but still i am living with all that by forcing myself... I know a man with a cancer that is notcurable and he is always smiling even if he feels constant pain that isnt little... So what is your excuse?

You don't have any Goals... You need to find out what you want to do with your life. https://v.cdn.vine.co/r/avatars/26E92878B71196295635733790720_395396be0f3.2.1.jpg?versionId=17.whDw6tU6qjKhlNapnptpjqApTwg.Q

sometimes when i watch anime i feel better you know? like i can feel down and then watch a good anime and im happy again. i feel like i hold anime dear tk my heart since it has helped me out during some rough times. when ever i felt like the world around me was just crumbling i would use it (along with music) to escape. i would often imagine myself living the life of my favorite protagonist and felt jealous in a way of them but i dont see myself ever giving up on anime not even if i became famous or super popular anime comes first before everything

Ye i think,i explained it all up there :) i agree with you 2 :) And yeah music is good way to chill and relax :) But dont get carried away too much :3

I have depression. I have had depression since I was 13 (almost 22 now) and anime and other cartoons have always been there for me. Anime helped me, as @Wertingperson puts it, smile at the end of the day. Also, many shows can be motivational and be a real pick-me-upper. Many characters go through a time when they are depressed and I have watch some anime that talks about mental health (one includes: Big Windup!) so the characters and stories relate to me. I don't think life is meaningless. @Wertingperson I am not depressed about anything, per say. I just have depression. My depression was triggered when my parents separated in a very dramatic way and that caused a lot of stress on me. So much that I began to feel hopeless, tired, and anxiety, so much that I began medication. I am over my parent's separation because after a year, I saw how much better our family grew and became stronger. But I still have depression, or at least remission so some events can trigger me (such as anxiety from school or work) to get into very depressed states where I am tired and sleeping a lot, crying, and not wanting to do anything and just lay in bed all day. I still take medication for depression and anxiety and I keep taking more and more.
