I don't really understand depression that much, I've had doubts on how I look and on myself but those never last longer than a few hours... I used to get fully depressed when I was younger but I knew that was only my hormones doing shit. Right now I just can't feel that way, I let it out on this site or on some friends and surprisingly I'm back to being the strong bitch I am. So I suppose that if I try searching for images that say what I normally think when I'm feeling down, stressed, anxious, weak or depressed may help some people that actually want to see it the way I do: http://www.scatterthestones.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/If-God-is-for-us-1024x726.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/54/cf/45/54cf455b917d606ba9ba3c0a1b1041cb.jpg http://static1.quoteswave.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Dont-be-afraid-to-take-an-unfamiliar-path-sometimes-theyre-the-ones-that-take-you-to-the-best-places..jpg http://www.relatably.com/q/img/confidence-quotes/i-know-what-i-bring-to-the-table-so-trust-me-when-i-say-im-not-afraid-to-eat-alone-quote-1.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/df/28/2b/df282bf3062ae14d30075538d309efbe.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/31/5b/49/315b49c5c7b21f465fdf08b59c735642.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7310/16169970239_e709629b7f_o.jpg http://beforeitsnews.com/mediadrop/uploads/2014/04/c1b11823b7f300d4852b5478dd2486f43cab5a29.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/fb/ca/f4/fbcaf46be5ad4dc1d995fac61228fb6a.jpg http://img.picturequotes.com/2/359/358729/i-am-now-in-control-of-all-things-quote-1.jpg https://runnerunleashed.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/collages.jpg https://checkintrapps.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/55c8f-11821834_1705310419697228_1449501048_n.jpg?w=350&h=200&crop=1 http://66.media.tumblr.com/c3f866fcfd17d8e5fca1f497530c6510/tumblr_nwgdpxwQbM1u7id8bo1_500.jpg

Okay so the post I'm going to make here is my outlook and why ain't nobody got time being depressed ya kno what I'm sayin'? Anyway serious talk. In this world, nothing matters. No, I'm serious. One day this earth will be destroyed, nothing will remain, and no one will remember us. Funny right? "So that mean nothing matters?!" Well yeah. But, as humans we are amazing for being probably the smartest things on this pointless planet so far. That's cool. Our brains are very emotionally driven and complicated. I mean we made a way to talk to anyone on the globe pretty much, the internet. Nothing has ever made anything like it. Just because everything means nothing it the end, doesn't mean we should just give up and cry in the corner for hours! You could use those hours to play videogames, watch youtube videos, talk with someone on the internet, write a book, or watch anime! But, it's hard to face reality. Trust me. Life is literally an anomaly in this universe and every single event that happened before you were born led to your birth, billions and billions of years led to your small tiny existence, which is an amazing thing to think about. Just because like is pointless doesn't mean it's well....pointless to enjoy it. But if you are depressed, you should face that depression. It will hurt, it will be something that will leave you in agony. My brother had depression, now the guy just views the world differently and enjoys it because he knows it all doesn't matter. We can mature as people from experiences like depression. Face it and know that if you don't nothing will change. A small internet forum of "You're special" won't make it go away forever, it's still there. Might as well plunge into darkness head first instead of letting it claw at you for years and make something out of it. Don't let fear stop you at the diving board. Well that's a happy go-lucky post huh? Anyway you don't have to listen to me, I'm just a guy on the interwebz. :I

This forum isn't meant to make depression go away forever. Mantras and positive images are meant to help stimulate the parts of our brain that aren't working right. Because that's what depression is. Mental illness. For me, mantras and positive space boards bring me back into the headspace I want to ve in. It's one of the forms of mindful meditation I practice. For me, therapy and medication alone have not worked. But when I wake up in the morning, the first thing I see is several pieces of art and sigbs reminding me that I'm great and I've survived this far and that I can keep living. It's been thirteen years since I started showing symptoms, almost five years since I was diagnosed and almost 9 months since my last suicide attempt. There is not a day that you don't face it. It clings to you. The doctor's bills, the reminders you have to take your medicine, every moment in the car on the way to the therapist. I do everything I can to stay alive. I hope people on here do the same.

Yall need some positivity in yall's life https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/d7/9c/a8/d79ca8815e11ffba22ad9482b3d0874d.jpg

Here's a lil sum sum for the artists on maiotaku (: "Do you like to draw with crayons? i'm not very good at it but it doesn't matter it's the fun of doing it that's important. now, i wouldn't have made that if i'd just thought about it. no matter how anybody says it is it feels good to have made something. the best thing is that each person's would be different. in a way, you've already won in this world because you're the only one who can be you. and that's the way it's supposed to be" -Mr. Rodgers

Old is old, but I'll still say this, some of y'all have absolutely no concept of how clinical depression works(Ain't easy to fix a chemical imbalance.). While having friends, family and a positive outlook may help, they will never solve the problem. The thing about clinical depression is, you can't make it go away (I've tried for years.), but you can be strong enough to fight another day and you can find purpose, even with a constant aching weight on your shoulders. Strength comes from within, but you can't gain it without getting help. We are social creatures and as such, we depend or should depend on others when we are in need.
