I listen to music and play video games, because I have no way to go out, I don't want to constantly complain to people, my art is pretty limited to cars, and my parents don't seem to care. It really doesn't seem to help though.

I have mild depression which I have to take an anti-depressant for. It's worked wonders for me, and my mother said it made a big difference in me. Without that medication I feel absolutely horrible, like I want to strangle people. The stress level has alot to do with it too.

That pretty much sums it up!^^ And I wish I could get some anti-depressant pills, but my parents don't even notice that I'm depressed, or they just choose to ignore it. Plus we wouldn't be able to afford the medication.

I think I had it a long time ago around the time I was in my late teens. But back then they didn't know too much about it like they do now. The medication I get is generic, so it only costs maybe 4 or 5 dollars a month. If I had to buy the name brand it would be over $100. Even with insurance I would be paying much more. Without it I would be in trouble. It's just terrible to go through especially when it disrupts your life.

Luckily the most it really disrupts is my sleep. I don't usually break down until at night. And it's only every so often.

Listen and play Music, skateboard, freerun, gaming, artwork, walk and play with my dogs, excersize, or just sulk and feel sorry for myself.

You should explore your art, it's a great skill maker and good distraction...

I've recently been branching out with my art. It's not very good, but I'm practicing.

I write a lot. Write poetry, write songs, write down my feelings. I also like listening to music. It helps. Talking to friends and even just pretending to have fun and forget about it helps too. I'm kind of depressed too at the moment. It suckssss. :/

Ahhh. Haha, sorry I don't mean to sound so whiny :p Yeah, it's tough. And unless you've felt that way, it's hard to understand what a low feeling it is. It does suck. Very much so. :/ I think sometimes all it takes is some time.

idk many, but I love Hero, Awake and Alive, and Never Surrender. I would love Monster if it weren't for the monster voice at the end. It just seems cheesy to me.

Music. You have to find music that you love and stick with it. Live it, breathe it, love it
