I'll read through this thread in a second but one piece of advice i can give about depression is make sure you simplify your life. I feel your body is talking to you and if you are depressed something is out of balance. Get back to basics. Healthy diet, positive relationships, positive music/books/people. Take the time to go inward, and don't entertain the negative thoughts.
If it persists to a point you can't handle it, you MUST talk to someone. Depression ain't no joke, but you can't ignore it. Take the time to take care of yourself. That is the best thing you can do. You only have one brain, take care of it. Good luck.

the marathon continues........
It's not as easy to answer this question without details but there's a common denominator.
First ask yourself if you're trying to deal with your situation or overcome it. There's a difference. Dealing with something means you've accepted it and it will always be apart of you. Overcoming means it was a test in life you went through, got through it and have grown from it.
I only have solutions for the overcoming part.
The first step in overcoming your situation is most definitely not by running from it or distracting yourself with other things. It comes from fully embracing it, feelings and all. And this process works physically and mentally.
Physical Example: It's winter and some of you live where it's cold right now. Step outside without bundling up and instead of bracing for the chill of that cold ass air, fully embrace it and breathe it in. After the initial shock allow your nerves to fully receive what they're feeling. You will notice how almost instantly that feeling turns from "cold" to just a more complete full body awareness of a sensation. The "cold" feeling goes away. I challenge everyone reading this to try this and see for yourself.
When you're in that state of awareness instead of feelings you can more effectively face your problems head on to overcome them. Feelings lie to us sometimes but our feelings are usually the first thing we listen to. Embracing the matter means I gotta be real with myself. It means accountability. Life is a series of cause and effect so what role did I play in all of this? Sometimes things happen that are beyond our control and the fact that it's beyond our control must be embraced as well.
In the state of awareness we see how we got there and what we need to do to get through it but we have to be willing to fully embrace it first. We also have to be willing to apply those solutions even if it's not what we wanted to hear.
And if you have to shed some tears do that too.

Well shit! Since I’m here we can BUMP this shit.
I’ve been battling falling into depression for close to a year now. I wouldn’t necessarily say I’ve been unhappy, because overall I wasn’t, I just really let a situation get to me. Also dealt with two major things that added to that. I’ve managed though and I’m proud. I’m happy I was able to control it and chose to talk it out before I let that shit blow up because I was so close.

was it hard to find people you can trust to talk too?
i know i have a hard ass time trusting people...and the way i explain things most people cant follow. if a person is not attentive they miss key details.
Nah. I talk to 3 people about deep shit. I trust all of them. In this recent situation, I ain’t tell nobody.
Well, I told my mama. She know now.
