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

[Techite Sparkle 354]

Before MLP - Depressed as a sack of rocks.

 

After MLP - Happy as if rainbows are everywhere.

 

 

We could just say that my time as a part of a fandom has helped me get through rather depressing situations easier than I was able to do before I knew MLP ^-^

[Zygen 6,066]

Omg yes. yes yes yes. So easy for me to get depressed. And i'm honestly more moody then some girls honestly all the time! I make some girls look emotionless at times!(Well maybe thats a bit extreme, but i am extremely moody.)

 

I have a really quick temper to, so that just adds to the "Fun" of puberty and being 16 and bullcrap. One minute i can be totally fine, and the next minute I wish i'd just be sentenced to death and peed on, then burned... ;/.

 

Then I get all these other random emotions and thoughts in between, and i try to understand them and I go crazy and I just can't help it! ;/. And then i get really depressed again. I even post quite alot of status updates here complaining and crying for attention when i'm depressed because i'm such an attention sucker. :/.

 

Sorry, i'm kinda going through one of my really depressed times currently, have been for like the past few days ;/. 

 

Regardless i can get depressed quite easily, and not feel like theres much hope for myself, my stupidly low self confidence doesn't help things either. 

 

I've never actually attempted killing or even harming myself, but yeah. I mean i'm to much of a wimp really anyways even if i wanted to harm or kill myself, so i don't plan to.

 

But yeah, I'm very moody, more so them some girls, and my temper is very spontaneous at times and scary, because it just builds up till i explode like a teapot boiling.

well it's obvious i watch the show. But it doesn't seem to help sometime. I just need to relax and rethink what i am going through. I know the reason i could be like this.

@Zygen. When i get stressed, I can be the most hurtful person. Saying the most hurtful things. I know this will seem weird what i said to me dad but it's the truth what i said to him (obviously he treated us perfect).. I got so stressed out i said to him "Isn't it obvious why we "steff" (brother) and me are like this? It's the way we were treated. That's right!!". I obviously don't care in the world sometimes who it is. I would say the most harmful things to anyone. That is why i call myself a heartless bastard. 

 

I get stressed alot. I get pressured to do things i don't wanna do. I get interrupted when i am working with drawing & animation also oter things. If i get interrupted in the middle of any, i can just turn and release my inner demon.

I totally know how you feel man Just think of all the good things and people that makes you happy. It should help you at least a bit.

Yeah, i'm seriously really moody, like more moody then girls sometimes during that time. I am a monster sometimes when i'm angry. not myself at all. And i can get angry pretty fast, whether it be because i'm already angry at myself, or because someones stepping on a nerve, i have yelled at many people in an outburst, and totally regretted it.

 

I've said plenty i immidately regret, but honestly my anger gets a hold of me and yeah.. I'm already moody enough, the only mood i don't really get, is a mood where i cry, i just don't really cry much if at all really :/. I wish i could, its a much less destructive way of letting all the energy and anger and frusteration and stress out that just makes me want to knock over mountains and my walls and bust holes into everything in sight.. .

 

And yeah i call myself heartless sometimes to, partly for my anger and stuff i do, and partly because i never really cry. However i'm probably just being hard on myself, and so are you, because i don't think your heartless at all.

 

But yeah, i can get depressed after all my moodyness and anger pretty easy.

i used to get depressed rather easily and considered myself a loser until only recently. I don't wanna go to much into it but me and my girlfriend were ready to take our love to the next level and i was pleasantly surprised with her feelings on the subject. It is not as great as it sounds, i can barely see her at all and we never hang out or go on dates. Its questionable whether or not the relationship is a relationship at all and i am powerless to change the fact. and that feeling of being powerless, coupled with my feelings for her can lead to some serious hurt. Not enough to go killing myself though, I would be hurting good people that i genuinely care about and i have a considerable sum. Not that i am popular or anything, if you met me you might think i was a loser or a nice guy, i'd be pretty quiet...My situation is unique but the base parts are same as any other persons...

 

 

Not sure how much i can help, if you read that you may hate my guts right about now, or maybe i am being too strict. My advice is this, Its natural to feel sad BUT consider who you would hurt if you were to kill yourself. Put yourself in your parent's and friend's shoes for a second and consider is your death worth their suffering? in most cases it isn't. My advice is to relax and break down the days one step at a time, everything will get easier that way. Worked for me...

[Zygen 6,066]

Thank you everyone for supporting me. The way how i was treated in school was a PAIN!... i lost all my friends... all of the schools respect.I know this is just in the past. But i know this is infecting me. at the minute i go college now. In uk you go college at 16-17 or go work. I just like to draw weird and creepy things when i a depressed. But i need to know how to just make it get out of my life. It's the only thing letting me down...

 

I really love doing youtube commentary. But my depression takes over and i can't record. It's another downside of what happens and the things i love to do.

I use to do videos like 2 years ago on youtube, but i quit due to the game most of my content was on getting slowly boring and things going downhill overall with it. Now its kinda dead.. And so is my channel i guess. I did enjoy doing commentaries and stuff, but between being bored of the game and stress and not feeling able to dedicate to anything i just kinda faded out of it.

 

I kinda wanna start it again but idk honestly, its complicated. :/.

For some reason. Most of my skype friends and irl friends says my voice is perfect for commentary o.o I don't know how.

Well, maybe it is, i'm sure you have a better chance then me mostlikely, i had my little spurt of fame where i had maybe like 300 subs max? I was still pretty well known on the game i use to play, so yeah. But Its over now, and honestly, idk if i can even recover back to 300 again. To think i thought i could be a star :/. 

 

I'm not talented enough for that crap, or creative enough or anything though. 

 

But if they say your voice is awesome for commentary, maybe it is. Probably better then mine frankly, especially considering my voice is on the higher pitched side of guy voices, and as a kid like 2 years ago i sounded even higher. So yeah. I got insulted for my voice on youtube alot, which is discouraging, and maybe why i'm so self conscious now.

Don't be like that. people can be complete douche bags. so far i have no hate and 360+ subs. But still don't let them bastards get to you. They always try and bring people down to try and get there own way. 

[ChoroChii 284]

Coming from somebody who was depressed throughout the most part of 2013, I'd say yes. Then when I get depressed, I think it's over something petty and feel even worst about myself. I'm not really sure how much it'll help but just remember you're not alone.

[Artleck 70]

well dammit... I felt down right depressed again... <_< I hate it. it just pops out of know where.... I don't like to be like this al of my life. I just wanna be a happy man. *sigh* It wouldn't happen for me. I know there is others who have my problem.. But it hits me right at the back of my head like a baseball bat.

[Ragland Tiger 3,392]

I've had some really severe episodes of chronic depression in the past.  I know how really draining and painful it can be.  Seriously, see your doctor, and ask him or her if it would be safe for you to try a vitamin D3 supplement.  It might help.

[CornBreadGang 514]

Yup. Quite easily. I've been diagnosed with depression, and if you get me worked up, sad, or angry, I'll be depressed and angry as anything.

[Midnight Dragon 264]

I've been depressed for some years now.

[Revy ~ Two Hands 862]

Trying sobriety it's rough. Need a distraction is the only way through depression, I just gotta pick better distractions.

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

I do not get depressed very easily although the circumstances at hand play a big part if do hit a state of depression.

 

I don't like talking about my past very much. My parents fight a lot about different things sometimes bring stuff that happened between my two families that I dread thinking about. Basically my fathers side and mothers side of the family hate each other... So being around arguments and fighting constantly really can bring me down in a low state. I could be having a great day until something like that happens. Once I get an apartment I will rejoice.

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177]

Sometimes I get really depressed at work.... But it's been a while since I've been just in a depression rut.... The best advice I can give is provide yourself with plenty of distractions because leaving yourself alone with just your thoughts can be dangerous.

[risingpulsar 9]

I've been battling depression most of my adult life. I've tried psychotherapy, counseling, medication, journaling... You name it.

 

I've actually been in a current funk lately so I can't say that I can offer up a lot of advice.

 

What I can say is staying focused on things that brings joy to life always helps coast til you hit an upbeat mood. Life is like a emotional roller coaster; you just have to hold on tight and endure the peeks and valleys.

 

I will say one thing, I'm new to this forum and it's bbrought a huge smile to me face. Thanks everypony!!

 

Hang in there my pony friend, you're not alone.

Ugggg, I'm on my cellphone and swyp misspelled some stuff...big boo

[Flutterplex001 5]

Yes a lot of things make me depressed and I start questioning things that I don't think can be answered by anyone. So, sometimes I just try to shrug it off hope that it get's better. 

[Snowy Storm 57]

yeah I have depression. For me I hide it. I don't want others to be sad when I'm sad, instead I try to be in a decent enough mood to keep my friends happy. I used to be immune to most emotions and when I was tossed out to live on my own almost a year ago, going to college and trying to work my way to a better life then my parents. It seems like life is finally catching up to me. I don't know how much longer I can put up a fake smile and try to keep my friends happy. I am getting sick of dealing with my friends emotions and I have to hide my depression from them. I feel so sad and frustrated... Maybe I'll just try to pick up meditation again and try dealing with it. Just wish I could talk to someone about this. Sorry for my rambling.

Yes, especially during the school year as it progresses. it also doesn't help living up north where you get stuck in your house all winter. I deal with it by finding things I like to do and stay away from  my triggers, such as the big Christmas git-to-gather with the family (Like 50 people). I guess the best I can say is good luck and hope it gets better. 

[WarriorShy 48]

Depression is my middle name... Rainbow Depression Dash... ok bad joke sorry 

[Nerdy Luigi 2,065]

I get depressed and manic (Excitement, but rationality loss) all the time. In fact, I have used information to diagnose myself with cyclothymia, like Bipolar Disorder, except less severe and with gaps in time where I feel normal.

 

So, yes I do.

[Rift enchanted 380]

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.
