20 years with depression now for me
You will probably find something that helps you cope.
If it stays, it gets worse.. you will start feeling psychical stabbing pain in your chest.
I drink everyday to drown the voices saying I'm worthless and they want me to die.
Good luck though!

i channel my depression through smoking weed and playing guitar

It started for me in 2003 (18yo) and I'm still with it (31yo). What I did that you should avoid:
-I isolated myself. I tried to heal by working, and it worked for some time, but the crisis came and I got rekted. +20% here where I live (Spain).
-I started working out, but veeeery late (last september).
-I never told anyone because I met a grill in 2006 that was harsh with me for being depressed. Also, because of pride I don't want to complain to my family.
Try to avoid this attitude and you'll get out of it.

why should he avoid working out?
>>677420845
No, what he should avoid is leaving it for when it's too late.
He should start working out ASAP. :)
ps. Sorry, English isn't my mother language.

Same spot man.
I work a low end security job at a hotel.
I tried joining the Army but I was down 5 pounds to meet the minimum requirements. I'm fit for my size, I'm very scrawny and shit too. 5'10" and I weigh 116 pounds.
I went through MEPS and they told me that I didn't meet the requirements, last time I went I was only 2.5 pounds below the minimum, they could have passed me.
Really took a blow in my life goals.
I thought about becoming an EMT but I'm only 19. Not sure I'd actually get s job anywhere plus is a good $1500 to get the certification, not counting he state testing, which is like $50 for one test.
I'm totally stuck, I don't even know what to do anymore. Security at a fucking hotel sucks ass man.

At least you've got to Spain.
Imaging being in Spain, with +20% unemployment here, without a career nor savings. I'm fucked.
Not that this should make you feel better, but if I were you I wouldn't worry too much. Working in a dead-end job is enough to save a little bit and play videogames while living with your parents.

I meant At least you've got a job.

That's what I'm currently doing, but when I think about the future, I don't feel to good about it.
I'm thinking about gaining the extra weight and keeping my calorie consumption up. Most of my Facebook friends went through basic last summer and have their duty stations and everything.
Fuck me.

Seems as a nice plan. You gotta love living in a nice nation. Good luck!

I'm definitely lucky to be living in America but it's still hard as fuck to find a job with the wage increases.
It's not even the immigrants anymore it's the goddamn government.

get some help. first go to your doc, explain your shit and get some anti depressiva. the only reason it's not a "drug" is that nobody want's to be high in 6 weeks
