Do any of you get..... depression easy?

[Artleck 70]

Yeah depression seems to be a really big problem with me. If someone says something mean to me that makes me feel guilty or something like that, I just say "why the hell do I even exist? I can't do anything right" so yeah.

To me "no offence" But that would be the weakest thing to make me depressed. That would just rather make me angry and actually smack them in the mouth.

[Newbie 13]

I was in, well, almost suicidal condition a few years back...now it's alright. Still it's very easy for me to get sad. I'm trying to be more positive, and MLP helped a lot, by the way.

I was diagnosed with Depression in Elementary school for being bullied and what not. It lasted up to my Freshman year of High school, for I made new friends and junk.

 

Doctors have told me, that its pretty much gone and its obviously gone, because I dont have suicidal thoughts or attempts anymore. I have never cut myself, for I am too scared to even have a knife near my arms.

 

Anyways, ever since my Grandma died few months ago, the Grandma I was truly close to and she was more like a mother to me. I began to get depressed very easily now and I am afraid I am going back into Depression a little bit, even though I am trying to fight it. So, I do get Depressed easily, a little bit. I will have days where I feel sad for no reason.

 

Okay, enough of my life story now...

[NovaCosmic 126]

I've suffered from depression for quite sometime now. It could mostly be my body not functioning properly or my sleep medication, but seeing as I live in the middle of nowhere, it's hard to make friends with anyone

Besides, most people around my age that I have met have been two-faced wind-ups in some way or another. 

[epzik8 92]

Yes, I get depressed pretty easily. I used to have really bad anxiety and occasional panic attacks but thanks to my latest prescription that's subsided a lot. But some days I just feel sad about things because they seem unfair or bothersome.

[Commander Bubbles 1,343]

I'm currently fighting depression and have been for the past few years. Recently, however, it's gotten to an all time low with how poorly I've been treated by my IRLers, and I haven't quite been able to pull out of the rut.

[Everleaf 541]

I know i really have my hard times and i wish it would stop it is sorta common if you feel like it think of Luna before becoming Nightmare moon she sorta suffered depression.

[Dsanders 5,747]

Yeah, I've been going through my frequent phases of depression. Thankfully these cycles of mine are nowhere near the great extent as they used to be. It gets frustrating to deal with at times. I don't understand how I end up transitioning from feeling happy and ecstatic to feeling like utter crap. It's not clinical but it does happen somewhat randomly. 

 

Usually it's due to personal insecurities that are extremely hard to overcome. I tend to lack great confidence in myself. Ironic considering I've been blessed with having such an amazing girlfriend. But sometimes, I don't know how to explain it but I still feel depressed around her at times. Is it her fault? By no means!

 

I just tend to struggle with comparing myself to others. I know I shouldn't do that but with being stuck with this feeling for the majority of my life, it's really hard to overcome. Thankfully, just talking to my girlfriend has really helped me get through all my personal struggles that I've been fighting lately. Her support means a lot to me.   I don't know what I would do without her.

 

I used to feel inferior to her due to the fact that she is more widely known and recognized around here. But eventually I finally realized and knew  just how much she loves me, how much she trusts me, loves me, cares about me more than anyone else she has ever known. She could care less about being popular and well-known; that's not her motive or intention behind what she does. I know she's only doing what she loves and that she's passionate about what she does. I support her in what she does and I actually hope she gets more recognized for what she does. She deserves it!  The point is, that deep down inside, she's just as human as me.

 

My self-comparison has been just one of the many issues I've been struggling with throughout most of my life. There's much more that I would rather not say. But no matter what, I believe in myself. I have all the support I need from my friends and especially my girlfriend. I know my own inner strength and I know that if I have the faith and heart to triumph over all these obstacles, I can do it. 

 

I still get depressed every now and then but I also have hope which really serves as the compass for my heart. I trust my heart's compass, I believe in my strength, and I have love worth fighting for.

[Inactive01 5,299]

Everyone in their lifetime has gone through at least one point of depression. I know i have. I get these moments where I feel like crap and just wanna push everyone out of the way. Other days, I feel like I want to jump and soar. It's how we handle the depression that really counts. Knowing that there will be a ray of hope eventually is the toughest part of it all.

[Mr F 1,522]

I honestly don't know, even if I am sad I still seem to smile anyway. ->

Not easily I guess but meh I just feel lonely (and hated) a lot. -_-

[Smarts 1,622]

Yeah, I get depression rather easily. I always feel so lonely and despised. I have been trying to control it and have been successful so far. I just put on a false smile and move on with my life. It's been working so far. I'm not truly happy, but at least I can pretend I am. Keeps me from posting about it here and annoying everybody. Making them further hate me.

[RoguesWolfe 192]

Yes actually. But im a bit different. I can go from the top of the world straight to the bottom in minutes. It just depends on what my brain decides to do. Being bipolar kinda does that to ya.

[Acchan 232]

I have clinical depression, and possible bipolar disorder. (as in two doctors have said that I'm possibly bipolar but I never go back to actually get a real diagnosis)

 

So yes, I get depressed easily.

[Artleck 70]

Well recently I have spoke to my mum about my problems. She helped me out alot, and now i feel more happy and hyper. I also got the brony stuff off my chest.

[Revertz 159]

I get depressed when they get my order wrong at a fast food place and i'm half way home and i realize and i don't want to drive back because i know the line will be crowded and i'm tired.

 

But in all seriousness yes i do i have suffered with on and off depression for atleast 5 years now and you never really know what causes it or why you feel this way you just have to stick through it and it will all get better in the end mine mainly stems from a mild ocd condition known as Perfectionism where everything you do has to be perfect and this shows when ever i'm in school or writing music it just needs to be perfect and if its not i get really anxious and angry and is seriously really hard to deal with on a day to fay business. 

[Dr. Zerkagon 92]

I do, very easily, I'm not being the person Mr. Rogers wants me to be.

[Castle Bleck 19,326]

Yes.

 

However, things like this fandom help me ignore it.

[Flutter's lover <3 8,205]

I get mood swings all the time.Everyday is an emotional roller coaster for me, and I want to get off.Like ight now, typing this post, I'm rather depressed and usually I go to sleep sad/depressed. but during midday/afternoon sometimes I'm happy, but that's usually only if I actually have something to look forward to in the day,which isn't very often. Otherwise I just put on my happy mask. Though when I see friends online or wanting to play a game, I feel better, or browsing the forums makes me feel a bit better, sometimes.

 

There's points in my day where even Pinkie Pie couldn't cheer me up.There's some times where I"m basically Pinkamena,minus the imaginary friends bit.

I has feels for you... Honestly I've gotten into depression for no absolute reason before and it's just... ugh... Its worse if your incredibly emotional like me... The feelings overwhelm you and everything, and you absorb the emotions of others... its terrible sometimes and makes you just want to curl up in a corner forever..

 

What I would do? Go to your friends and just surround yourself in the love and friendship that's around them and tell yourself that your amazing and inspirational to the world. It seems a bit vain but trust me it helps.

No, but I did suffer from Panic Disorder and General Anxiety Disorder from about 11 years. 

[)O( Scarlet )O( 1,259]

I kinda wanted to make this topic, because lately i have been down right depressed... I don't know why... I just have. I've been trying everything to get rid of a it and it doesn't seem to work. I just feel more and more depressed by the minute... 

 

I was wondering if any of you guys have had the same problem.. I just feel like the only one.... :c

 

ps. Sorry if this is just.. well. not suited for the forums

 

Ok now, I'm no moderator but this would actually be suited in the life advice section, but now on topic

 

Yes, yes I do get depressed real easily, even over the smallest and stupidest things. May I ask you this, what do you do to try and get rid of the depression?

 

Also, you can PM me anytime you need or want to talk, sometimes I find just talking with someone who knows what you're going through is all that you need to do to help feel better.

[Judgement 445]

I am always depressed. It has been Over a year since I last laughed so hard that I couldn't breathe. My life feels like "all work no play". I'm always depressed unless every star in the universe is aligned. I feel you bro. I get upset so easily over the dumbest things and I can't help it.

[King Sejong 859]

   I get mood swings, one minute happy next after some stress, followed by surly finally sullen. The navy and the harsh reality of military service was hard to cope with, living as a civilian again is especially difficult, no one understands my feelings nor understand what I suffered, not helping matters is my family living vast distances, both physically and spiritually, typically I get the feedback of just get over it, it's over, forget about it, however after years of service it becomes you. I have a yearning urge to leave, and find the most quiet, tranquil spot in America and spend my life there in peace, yet at the same time I would like to ease the woe of bronies with depression, while my natural family is very fractured, I would like to think bronies are my extended family, although I get depressed I feel I can talk to them as well as any veteran I have met, bronies and pegasisters have given me new zeal, and I would like to know them better, so I can know how to levitate their depression, thus in turn relieve my depression, I say seek out some bronies in person or the internet, the more we communicate, the closer we become a real herd.  

[Keezuw 107]

I never really tell anyone this, but I do get depressed easily.. I'm not entirely sure why, but maybe because I just go through some things in life, and I tend to keep all the emotions to myself, and never found closure? I've been through years of depression maybe a couple of times now or something.. Lol but no one ever finds out. Nor do I think they'll believe me if I tell them I have depression. Oh wellz.

[~Master~ Button Mash 2,307]

Oh yeah I get depressed really easily. Sometimes not even from anything external. I end up just psyching myself out of my own head. Then I don't do things because of it. Makes me feel worse. Vicious cycle. For me, depression, procrastination, and low self esteem are highly intertwined. 

 

Last few days have been kind of bad, for some reason. I've been keeping especially to myself. Either in the gym or in my dorm. That's about it.
