It's not y'all.. It's that all the news is so negative. I can't even think of the city of Seattle without getting mad or depressed. I already suffer from depression disorder but I take citalopram for it and it helps sometimes, but with everything that's going on, it is getting overwhelming. To make things worse, my cancer recurred recurred in January, after three years of remission. So this chemo has something in it that makes me even more depressed, plus being sick half the time and stuck alone in the bedroom. I have no wife and kids. Just me and my 2 dogs. I feel like the world is changing so much, for the worse. I think about the type of people that live in places like Seattle and the far-left antifa type of people and I see that the human race is changing mentally and emotionally. They are being taught in school crazy and evil things that turn them into heartless men and women. When will it go back to normal?
I've been severely depressed.. For a long, long time. Talking 15 years. I'm 34 now. Seems like when the sun goes down and the darkness of night approaches.. It takes over my state of mind right away. My mojo goes dark. All my thoughts become negative, like being alone forever, and there is no escape. It's like the sun goes down and a Blanket comes to smother me and cover up all of my happy emotions. I'm sorry for the sappy post, but I really wouldn't open up and ask for help if I didn't really need it.
Anybody got any tips for dealing with depression?
Any sites that you visit that aren't gonna make me mad or sad?

You will be missed and you are loved

Sorry to hear about your predicament. All of the ugly things going on in the world certainly don't help any of our moods.
What has worked for me recently is adjusting my diet, trying to get more natural sunlight, and taking some time each day to seek out positive things, no matter how small they may be.
Remember these crazy types have been around before and have disappeared. Occupy wallstreet is essentially a faint memory for me now for instance. 5 years from now these Antifa and BLM losers will be an afterthought in my opinion.

That’s what evil wants you to do, just keep fighting. Freedom is NEVER free....

Hope things get better with the chemo man. That really sucks. For the depression, I’d stay away from the news altogether. Just take things one day at a time. Don’t stress about what’s not in your control.

Stay strong bother, distance yourself from things which bring you grief and anxiety, there is so much happiness in this world, it may be harder to find, but it's there. I too have to take breaks sometimes, this is not a good place for someone struggling to find happiness. I find it incredibly brave that you chose to share your feelings, hope is never lost.

Go back to sleep brah. The water is warm.

My advice is to turn off the news for awhile & limit your online time
Get outside, it’s freaking hot but try to get outside & get some fresh air
Take your dogs for a walk, go sit at a restaurant patio & have a drink
Take up a new hobby
I need to listen to my own advice, it’s hard to not get discouraged but my faith in God helps me to believe good will prevail
I wish you the best of luck with chemo & if there is anything we can do to help please reach out

I’ve never kept my depression a secret on this board, and I’m not ashamed of my daily struggle.
One hour at a time.
The first thing you need to accept is that depression is something that affects you—you did nothing to invite it.
If you had diabetes, you’d treat it.
If you needed glasses, you’d get them.
It sounds like your meds need to be adjusted.
See your doctor ASAP.
My doctor alters my dosages regularly, since life is constantly working its crap on your brain.
Secondly, SLEEP.
If you’re struggling with that, your doctor can help you there too.
Are you religious? Spiritual? Do you meditate? Download some Head Space apps.
My religion is everything to me and saved my life.
I love watching old Christmas movies too
. Whatever takes my mind away from the anxiety and pain.
Finally, know you aren’t alone.
Ignore the anger that currently surrounds us.
I frequently have to walk away from it too.
You need to take care of yourself, and you aren’t.
Please have this discussion with your oncologist, PCP, and/or your psychiatrist tomorrow.
Pick up the phone and do it.

This site is my social media. I stay off of basically everything else because it's so vile. I come here to get besically 99% of my sports and political news. I turn on Tucker a couple times per week just because he's so damn good, but at the end and during each episode I feel sickened.
It has affected me greatly over the past few weeks.
Honestly, out of sight out of mind makes me a happier person.
Reading and researching and thinking about The Almighty Creator, The God of Abraham, The Wellspring of the Soul, will pick your spirit up a little though.
It's all vile satanic forces at work.
I feel the pain. It's very very hard to stay sane, positive, and happy right now.

It's always Darkest before the Light, brother.
Frustration? Hell Yeah, I keep waiting for the Hammer to Fall on these seditious/treasonous people, all the way up the ladder, who illegally used the Power of the IC to SPY on an opposing candidate and MAKE UP charges versus innocent American Citizens.
All I can say is keep the Faith in the America that is the Greatest Country ever to be on this orbiting mass we call Earth. Light and Dark. It is very Dark right now, but shine the Light on the frickn cockroaches and they will scramble for cover.
Arresting Maxwell today is a step in the right direction. Take a break, as we all need to do.

Come to the Q thread. Then you will become comfy as fvck.

Even if the chemo prevents you from getting outside very much, try to have views of the sunshine. Maybe car rides on country roads with good music.
Also as much exercise as possible. A lot of good youtube exercise videos-- everything from very light workouts to peleton-type bike vids-- are avail to keep you company during home workouts.
And don't be hard on yourself for feeling depressed at some of the scenes we've been treated to by the news. It is depressing. You are on the right track to tune it out.
There are many more good people out there that never make the news.
See if there's a way to connect with them. Even if it's just a distant thumbs up to a neighbor working in their yard.
Pat yourself on the back for little steps to take your surroundings back into positive territory. Godspeed.

You are loved, and you are worthy of love. You aren’t alone.
Posted on 7/3/20 at 12:14 am to SXV
You have 2 dogs that love you unconditionally.
They give you a reason to get up every morning.
I am closing in to the end of this life. I take pills in the morning that knock me out for a good hour. I take them with a kids cup of ice cream from Chick Fil A & I flirt with the drive through girls that I couldn’t get naked in a billion years.
But i still flirt and think today is the day I succeed.

It may help to keep in mind that the people who are acting out represent a small fraction of the population.
But yeah, take a break from it all.
Do something for a neighbor - or a stranger. Really, doing for others can give you purpose and purpose is what can keep you going.
God bless you.

My fellow PT brethren, I can only pray and implore you to seek Jesus Christ, He truly is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

I got sued last year and anxiety set in like a mo fo.
What helped me a ton was learning about Stoicism. It's not a religious thing at all, just a different way of seeing things and coming to the ultimate realization that you can only control you. It really did get me through a very rough patch.
I know you're going through a much tougher situation, but still, the realization that there's nothing you can do about things out of your control is a huge burden off your back.
Hope that helped a little.
ETA; I hope you didn't block this board right after that OP.
