Is there anyone else here that deals with shifting depression? Like i try to boost myself up and keep myself uplifted, but it's hard. I want to get out of my head and not deal with my emotions, at all!
How do I kick this?

Hello
The ways I find myself dealing with depression.. well theres a huge list.
1. Always remind yourself that no matter what your mind revolves around, that things will eventually become easier and less stressful
2. Take a day to yourself, thats the best thing I did when those intrusive thoughts take over.
3. Give yourself a moment for a clear mind, making sure that the mind of yours is ready for the day to come. Always try to think day to day instead of week to week.
4. Another thing, try not to lean towards drugs or alcohol, not that its up to me either you chose that or not, but it will make the depression worse.
Now I don't know your current situation but your more than willing to add me and discuss more.

I battle with depression and the things that help me is journaling, counseling, meds, music and just talking it out with even a friend. Sometimes I get into such a deep dark way that I sometimes have to go to the hospital but regardless I always remember there is a light at the end of the dark tunnel and I get through. It might last a couple mins, hours, days BUT I never actually give into it and I never give up on life, there is so much more I want to do on this earth before I die so I don't plan on actually taking it away from myself.
So that being said, find hobbies or fun things or someone or people to talk to and maybe even do meds

Deal with it alot when alone at night, that time where your mind has the time to think, and remember all the bad things I wish I could forget or in my dreams trying to sleep. Haven't seen a doctor and kinda refuse to. But pretty sure I have ptsd and depression.
What helps me is finding a distraction. Either good movie, book, video games, art, my dog, and anything else that can keep my mind busy. Unfortunately there isn't much to help with nightmares but that is far less often now.
