When you are feeling depressed about something what makes you feel better?

[Anonymous]

I'm currently feeling depressed because I don't think anyone truly likes me. I think there is something wrong with me.

[IslaTheWitch]

It depends. Sometimes I listen to depressing music to hit the bottom and restart. And if it is not very deep, I just distract myself. Work is the best or a very good book.

Depressing music helps you feel better?

[IslaTheWitch]

@syncheart for me it's like hitting the bottom and then I can only feel better, right? :D

[Asker]

I listen to depressing music because I can relate to it.

I also suffer from depression. Baths and being clean make me happy for a bit. Maybe try exercise, but I would recommend speaking to someone you trust about this ❤️

[butterly248]

I meant exercise later, not at 2 am. in the morning, lol. What about watching your favourite show? Or putting some music on quietly?

[Truthatanycost]

Try reading healing scripture collections out loud.

[Asker]

That is an ok suggestion. But the time is 2:22 in the morning, and if I did that I would wake up my parents. I need a suggestion that I can actually do. I''m afraid that someone will say exercise. Problem is my work is physical. I'm too tired to do that too. It is just the mere fact that people don't like me, and I got to live with it.

Then you can listen to healing scripture using earphones from a phone or you can get a Bible audio player. So many do not realize that a supernatural change occurs during listening.

[Asker]

I have an audio bible that I use daily at work. It doesn't fix my depression.

[Truthatanycost]

How do you use it at work?

[Asker]

I listen to it while I eat my supper.

[Truthatanycost]

It's likely that it has not done anything for your depression because the scripture is too general. This is why there are Healing books that target depression with specific scripture collected that is more applicable. Thus you would need to find verses or parts of the Bible to listen to which is difficult with an audio version vs the book. But if you search 'Healing Scripture Audio' on Amazon you might find some.

[Truthatanycost]

For example on Amazon there is a book titled 'Bible Scriptures To Combat The Spirit Of Depression by Alicia Grant.' There is an audio version too.

[Asker]

I don't like taking the Bible out of context like that. It reminds of a story that podcaster told. He had a friend that was suicidal. He told the guy to read positive scriptures. While the guy was doing that, He felt better. But eventually he ended up killing himself anyways.

[Truthatanycost]

Many of the depression scripture books also use Proverbs and Psalms. Some focus on the entire Psalm while highlighting the areas of peace, comfort, hope, strength, grace, renewal and comfort (using colors). And some focus on all of the Proverbs. Thus no context to worry about. The audio versions may use different methods to accomplish the same.

Constructive thought & action.

[Worst]

Think about suicide

[Asker]

@Worst I think about that a lot.

[Worst]

Me too, it's inevitable... to finally be at peace

[butterly248]

WTF NO! @Worst

[butterly248]

@synchheat please don't listen to him

[Asker]

@butterly248 Thank you for speaking up and showing that you care about this.

[butterly248]

@syncheat I have depression also and it upsets me that people talk like this!

[butterly248]

There are lots of helplines you can call, live chat and text!

[Asker]

@butterly248 To be clear, I didn't post this to upset anyone. I posted it because I am feeling upset and hated by everyone. My emotions prompted me to post. but my situation is a logical fact. That is the real sad part.

[butterly248]

Its okay lol. I know I was directing to the intensive comment by @worst

[IslaTheWitch]

@worst
@syncheart
Please... both of you, ask for professional help. Talking about it here in comments doesn't help anyone...

And I think @butterly248 blocked me, I can't see her posts :P

[Asker]

@IslaTheWitch I would be happy to get professional help but there is too many things in the way, rending that as a non option. Besides that, it is really not that big of a deal. The world was around for a billion years before I was born, and it will be around a long time after I am gone. I believe in the Christian God and the Bible. It has been my faith and parents that have kept me alive this long. Instead of committing suicide, I'm just going to pray that Jesus takes me home sooner then later. Because it is a fact that my life means nothing on this earth.

[Worst]

Don't want help
