I wonder how far in desperation I’ve fallen to resort to this online community to vent my feelings.
I’ve looked up many ways to cope with depression and anxiety, but everything just sounds so fake and cliche..
Things like “don’t give up hope”, “relax your mind”, etc.. Am I the only one who thinks this way?
I can never take advice like this.. it’s sooooooo cliche and shows no compassion whatsoever.. well what do I expect.. I was just one WebMD for this shit.
How do I even cope with this misery? And why can I never like myself and forgive myself?…

I just get bitter and angry and come here to rant. It may not be healthy, but it works better than the stupid advice I’ve heard from happy people over the years.
I refuse to tell people things that I, myself, cannot possibly believe in myself because I know sometimes solutions cant be found and sometimes they can. Its hard to cope with things but I guess a lot of things in this existence are meant to be lessons or hard for some reason. It helps taking mind off it sometimes and doing something you enjoy but eventually only you can answer how best or if you can deal with these things.
I cope by trying to find things to take my mind off it that I enjoy. I think you should always forgive yourself though, as many mistakes as I’ve made I can always forgive myself because I know I’m not a bad person and moral. I have most of the problem forgiving others lol
I can relate. Many of the things i say to myself, I would never say to someone else, much too vicious. I cope by enjoying the good moments and when the bad comes, I stop fighting it and ride it out. The acceptance and knowing it will go away helps. I tell myself that they are just thoughts and not truths. By seeing it for what it is, I’m able to bounce back quicker. I accept as much as possible that this is just the way I am. And it will happen again, its like a dark cloud of negativity that resides in me and takes over everything when its active.
I have no idea how anyone can truly “cope” with severe major depression. Especially when the cause of said condition can never be resolved. There is no coping in my opinion. If you still have the will to live, then you survive. Things may, as unlikely as it sounds, improve a little. I’ve heard of some people that were able to completely snap out of it and never look back. Their will to live was that strong. But most people that survive, their lives are never the same. They just exist, until they don’t.
If your will to live is gone, then it’s just a matter of time. You make it to the next day, almost like a zombie. There is no hope for joy and happiness. Every day you wake up in the morning feels like a defeat. You cry and beg for something that will never happen. There is no hope for improvement. Nothing anyone can say will make the least bit of difference. But people will still feed you the normal BS clichés. They mean well, they want to help, they just don’t understand that their words are useless and irrelevant. They don’t understand that your will to live is gone. The end is near. It’s only a matter of time.
there are definitely many circumstances where suicide IS the best and only solution. Many people refuse to see that because they project their own feelings of sacredness of life on others
and to those people that fall under that category they should be given access to reliable methods of suicide, it’s ridiculous that people in the contemporary age are forced to use such primitive methods of suicide like blunt force trauma or rope asphyxiation
Alice agrees Ackerman, Alice would much rather die than live without the new iPhone 6 and Alice can’t live without seeing 1D concerts and Alice knows if Starbucks ever went out of business Alice would be the first person to take a bullet, there is so Much Alice can’t live without and if Alice had to say chose between death and life without Louboutins Alice would suicide
I can’t live without sprinklers that water asphalt instead of grass so I empathize
Alice haa yet to see one of those wonderful contraptions! Please elaborate for Alice on this marvelous creation
I know you’re a white girl, but are you a suburban white girl? if not I can understand why you haven’t seen these contemporary revolutions what a time to be alive
I also live for $40 furbies
Alice hasn’t had the Privelige to be a suburban white girl ???? Alice feels so robbed of all of life’s greatness imagine how cool Alice would be if she was a suburban hipster living off of mommies cash money and buy vinyl records Alice would never use
You may live for furbies but Alice lives for that cash money so Alice can blow it on press on nails and more shoes than Alice can wear
you’ve never had an indoor golf simulator? or a personal SUV with fake Harvard bumper stickers on it? Jesus, let me guess, you voted for Obama
how can there be global warming when America is so cool B)
Global warming is a myth created by air conditioning manufacturers why do you think this winter was so bad? They sold us the idea of global warming mast year thousands upon thousands of people bought air conditioners and that cooled the entirety of the atmosphere making it global cooling smh get your facts straight
Indoor golf simulator? Suv with a harvard sticker? Obama ? What is this language you speak? Alice doesn’t speak japanglish ! Alice one-time saw a hipster scene boy wearing gold plated headphones so Alice did what any practical person would do Alice cut the back of his knees and stole his headphones when he fell Alice later tried to pawn said headphones online to find out the gold was fake smh boys are fake
you have to steal the ones with a ‘b’ on it, which stands for ‘basic *****’ and is worth $100000 usually white boys with snap backs and V necks that show their tattoo of a gun with tits wear them
Ohhh Alice always thought the B was for boy you are going to be dissapointed when you drop a grand on these to find out they are not actually headphones but a neck warmer( hence why you don’t see people wear them on there head but neck only ) and guns with tots? That sounds gangsta af
