Help People who suffer from depression

[StillWaiting]

I am just wondering how everyone who suffers from depression cope with stress.
I feel like I am going crazy but there's nothing I can do about it.

The one thing thg helps me is self care and being selfish about it. Your happiness and comfort is all that matters. Depression can make you not interested to do anything that you enjoy but I try to keep a hold on them when I am feeling really down.

For me, it could be as little as going for a walk to smoking weed and listening to music to doing a whole beauty spa regimen and putting on one of my favorite shows or movies and of course your favorite food. Everyone's different. Sometimes writing helps or reaching out to a loved one or even someone on here or another forum. Keep your head up, I hope you get yourself out of this feeling, it really sucks. Depressions a motherfucker.

I have zero coping skills. I know what my problems are and know how to fix them. Unfortunately society disagrees with my solution.

Don't leave me alone with my thoughts. I'll act on it.

I find diversions, work is one of them, biking is another. I take it one day at a time and not get too over-burdened by hard stuff.

I can't cope anymore. During these last few months, I've just shut down isolating myself from everything and everyone.

You mean with drugs right, because I'm in the exact same boat. Society doesn't want me to use opiates or benzos. They want me to "exercise/go for walks" and all that bullshit.

I feel ya man. If I had unlimited access to opiates and stims things would be sooooo much better.
But I have to admit that exercising 'till your muscles hurt can sometimes be beneficial, expecially to relieve anxiety.

I mean CTB buddy. If we had the right to die and I had Nembutal, my problems would be solved.

This is such an aggressive and ridiculous expression. "You want to die? Just go for a walk."

I remember my old psychologist said something like if you want to be dead so much, why are you still here. That's because you still want to live.

"because my primitive biological prime directive is survival"

Sounds like that psychologist was one of those that only do it to get rich quickly.
