Then you must kill your mind first.

Oh goodie, a reason to drink. I hope no one made that joke yet.

OT: Yeah... what do you want us to do about it? You do know that you are in control of yourself?

Okay, what is the problem, your OP is vague, very very vague.

I've been suffering from depression for a long time among other things, no one else has helped, and the escapist community is a very smart bunch of people, at the moment i'm in a bad way, and i have a feeling it's going to get worse, as for the feelings, you know, the general life is pointless, i hae nothing etc, at least i am cunning in my madness.

Phase. Just a phase. be a man about it. Talk to someone about how you feel, but don't go getting all desperate and clingy on people. Remember, you can always take pride in being dignified about it. Half the battle is just getting your chin up. Try helping other people, and take pride in happiness you bring them - that certianly stops me from ever going down the "life is pointless" route. As long as you have put a smile on someone's face, and helped make them a little bit happier, then your life has not been pointless at all, nor will it be if you continue doing that.

I know this sounds like hippie bullshit, and I hate that kind of crap as well, but this really doesn't seem like something that can be solved easily. If you wanna talk to me, then I'm right here if you want, I'd be happy to help someone work out their problems a little. All you have to do is PM me. Also, try looking for professional help if nothing else works. There are therapists, people that can help you gain a new perspective on life if you feel you can't do it alone. Never be ashamed of how you feel, or going for help.

I don't remember an exact source, but I do remember that isolation is the best predictor of suicide risk; even more so than economic status, physical injury, and a host of other factors.

There are two kinds of isolation:

Physical isolation - Being physically alone, and not having access to other people (think arctic research base).

Effective isolation - cutting yourself off from human contact even if it is available OR feeling that you are isolated even if you're not.

Bottom line, InterAirplay is right. You NEED to talk to people about this.

I remember one night I was CONVINCED that God had designed the universe and all mankind to try to get me to kill myself. Then I talked to my roommate about it, and I INSTANTLY felt much better. Ever since then, I have made an effort to talk to people more and stay in touch with my friends and family, and talk with others about my feelings of depression, and I've had fewer problems with it.

So go out there and make some friends. Remember, PEOPLE may be a bunch of angry paranoid idiots, but A PERSON isn't all that bad on their own. Some of them are pretty good, in fact.

And don't pay attention to the news, unless you absolutely have to (i.e., there's a hurricane headed towards your city). The news is about entirely about people at their worst, and it doesn't do good things for your attitude.

How is your mind trying to kill your exactly?

EDIT: Just got on it, I would say see a doctor ASAP. People hate that word, I know, but that's the best you can do for now.

And whatever you do, KEEP AWAY FROM 4CHAN RELATED FORUMS!

Calumon: I think you're hungry. Cake?

MUST. RESIST. PORTAL JOKE.

The simple solution is (drum roll) watch twilight.

There is no one solution, people can throw medical science at you, psychological advice of even physical advice.
None of it will get rid of the problem, maybe lessen it but mental problems are much harder to tackle
If you seek medical professionals who have done years of education specific to your condition, you will get a much better treatment than someone on the internet who diagnose people with autism

I personally suggest you ignore every single person in this thread and go see a doctor, a psychiatrist and life coach. In that order too

Good luck

How the fuck does this have three pages of replies when half the serious ones only have 1/2 a page.

Manic Depressive Disorder? As much as I would like to help, you weren't exactly helping yourself out there by being so vague with your OP. A lot of people are going to have difficulty taking this seriously now.

However, as someone who is in very much the same situation, I can honestly say that even the smallest thing might be able to end this particular "phase" (put in quotations because I don't know what else to call it). Try something that could serve as a distraction. One of the best examples of this are games. You are on a gaming website, this is a logical course of action to follow. The only other thing I can say with the information I've been provided with is that, should you continue to feel this way, you may want to consider seeking the help of a person who can engage you in conversation, as well as the search for a possible solution, in a more in depth manner than us, the forces of the anonymous.

thankyou, that helped, at the moment I am trying to simultaniously trying to block out the outside world and put myself back into a state of happiness from my childhood by organising a huge box on kinex into their proper lengths, shapes and colours, sad i know, but at least it's keeping my mind off things. And yes, Bi-polar, I think the only person on the site who knew about it was 3W.... and he's tried in the past.

Honestly, When I was going that way, watching the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya helped change my world view, try finding an inspirational movie or anime to watch, the optimism Haruhi has in TMOHS really turned things around for me in terms of worldview, I know this seems silly, but this is my honest advice...
