It seems like anymore when i try to reach out for help they sll just say it will get better i promise. I even have a friend who struggles with depression and all she ever seems to tell me is it will get better. Idk if anything will really make me feel better but telling me it will get better over and over is driving me insane and making me want to cut off communication with evreyone i know.

I think that your friend is right. However, the ball is always in your court. Many things in life are a reflection of the time and effort you put in. If you give up and put no effort/time in, things may go one way. On the other hand, if you stay determined to move forward and exert the needed effort, things could turn out quite differently. It’s up to you. My advice? Keep moving forward.
I felt the same.
Got tired of hearing that impractical philosophy.
I’d rather they tell the truth and say it MAY get better.
Because honestly that is all anyone can say for sure.
I do not begrudge anyone their philosophy, but to assume life will be anyhting but ups and downs is impractical.
And that is no matter what you do and how you think.
It will get better but then it will get worse and the cycle continues.
My suggestion…. keep living and see how it goes.
That is all anyone can do.
Find your own center and lean on others until you find that inner strength.
Coping and hoping are great. But what the psychologists, philosophers, and spiritual people do not tell you is that you have to meet life on it’s own terms.
To understand that the moment is all there is and all else is speculation.
If you choose to see that as the bottom line, then you can logically choose your path.
Emotion, spirituality, and hope all have their place.
But if they are not tempered by logic they will skew you.
Expect nothing but prepare for anything.
That way you can ride the wave and be calm most of the time.
But what do I know.. I’m just a foolish and imperfect human.
You actually made alot of sense thank both of you very much.
They tell me the opposite
My parents ask me,
What the hell are you doing here, moping around the house depressed,
Your always broke, go and speak to your employers about a payrise.
My employers tell me my pay is likely to decrease, due to cuts in public funding
I should see my bank mananger about managing my debts
My bank manager says I have a gambling problem
and I should see a councillor
My cousillor thinks I’m an alcoholic, maybe I should see a doctor
My doctor tells me your going to die from liver failure
What the hell are you doing hanging around Internet forums
about suicide. He referred my to the psychiatrist
The psychiatrist thinks it would be a good idea to speak with my parents
