    I've been through worse times than now, and I've started to see a therapist recently.

    Also I've had depression for a really long time so I can't uh remember being totally happy and ok. Ignorance is bliss. I know though that all I really have to do though is move out and then I'll be happy. I know it's very 14 year old of me to say this, but my parents really are basically the source of my problems.

    To keep myself from dwelling about how terrible my life is, I listen to a lot of music. When I'm starting to feel terrible I just turn on my stereo and rock out. Singing a long to my favorite songs feels better like woah. Playing computer games helps, and I got friends that I can talk to when I need to. They're all online these days but it's better than nothing and I've had nothing before.

    I also go out of my way to enjoy the little things. All of my showers are hot and relaxing ones, I like to try to take in my surroundings and appreciate what's there. I like the rain so that's really helpful as it's dark and dreary for half the year here.

    You could interpret it that way.

    Or you could interpret it as telling the person to take a proactive interest in fixing their problems.

    "Man up" is universal advice to stop moping about and get something done.

    This could be anything from finding therapy, mental tricks (such as mantra repetition), medication, or filling a void in your life. Some people can get their shit fixed simply by exercising regularly.

    Some people just complain about their meager problems and have an entitlement complex about how the world should be fixing itself and they wish their problems would go away.

    If I am down for a day or just the short term i get together with friends. Whenever I am down longer term I build things or I go and try to learn something. For example when I lost my last job a couple months back I went off and took some graduate level extension classes and built some furniture out of bamboo plywood.

    Also booze and the gym, sometimes in that order.

    I get what Munkus is saying but man if someone told me to just suck it up I'd get pretty insulted. Some days I have trouble getting out of bed, let alone actually working to make myself better. It's really not that simple, especially when you live with people who think you're fine or you're just being dramatic, so they refuse to help or simply make it worse. Telling my dad that I needed therapy was something I had to do on one of my good days, and it still took me all day long to work up the nerve, after spending a month or so considering the idea.

    Also I don't think I have much of a backbone. I don't know if that's because I'm depressed or if that's just who I am.

    Did you see the context? Not the hyperbole? There's a difference between complaining into the abyss and seeking treatment.

    all I'm saying is there are plenty of people who do not understand the complex problems that some of these things present

    and they just think you're being a mope, or something

    and it's very hard to explain to these people that just saying "stop it" is not very useful in any context

    I am either A) Actually sick and might die

    or B) not actually sick and its all in my head.

    Basically over the past year and a half or so I've lived nearly every day with the fear of sudden, painful death because of various symptoms I experience. Wont go into details but they are bad and interfere with my daily life.

    The doctors have done test after test trying to determine WTF is wrong with me, and because thier tests come up with nothing, they are at this point blaming my brain for tricking my body into thinking its suffering from some debilitating condition.

    While the condition is debilitating, they now think that it is also imaginary.

    This obviously distresses me quite a bit, as if an unreal disease can be as annoying as a real one, and the imaginary one is untreatable, how the fuck am I supposed to get better or distinguish it from an actual condition?

    So far they havent found an answer to this question, so I get through the day by ignoring the various pains and frightening experiences as best I can, shouting things such as "Just fucking kill me if you want to kill me, Body, goddam it." when it gets really bad.

    So yea. At this point I deal with it by Daring my body to kill me. Not really healthy, but healthier I think than stressing about it 24h a day, which I did at first.

    I'm having one of those shitty days when you realize "Oh wait, I actually suck."

    My problems:
    1. I actually didn't work that hard in college. I'm kind of a lazy ass.
    2. I am now also fat, despite copious exercise, because I eat.
    3. All the stupid things I've ever said. Why was anyone ever friends with me? Were they just pretending?
    4. My mom got frail all of a sudden and has lots of low-level health problems.
    5. I'm cursed with a smutty mind and no competent way to deal with it. I'm scared nobody will ever love me.

    The solution, I suppose, is "man up," but I have to listen to some Phil Ochs first.
