Gloomy Times Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I just wondered, when you have nobody you can talk to at all, how do you cope with your depression? I don't necessarily mean just distracting yourself from it, I mean outlets for it as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloomy Times Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 I feel like I didn't really put my point across properly. My fault for not being clearer.What I mean is, right now, there is literally noone I can talk to about what I'm going through with depression. I wanted ideas on how to cope with it in terms of processing my thoughts or releasing the frustration that comes with people not understanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scienceguy Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 You could try mediating waiting for it to pass trying to reframe your thoughts as positive that's all I can come up with right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freckledface Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I feel like I didn't really put my point across properly.

I wanted ideas on how to cope with it in terms of processing my thoughts or releasing the frustration that comes with people not understanding. I find writing very therapeutic, even if I never share it with anyone I feel like getting it out of my head and onto paper (or typing it out) helps to process my thoughts and helps to ease the emotions that I had during that time. At times, writing helps when I don't know WHY I'm feeling the way I do and as I continue to write I make discoveries as to what has triggered my feelings. It also may help to find a therapist that is good at helping you process your thoughts. Coming here and writing about it also helps because there are people here...depressed people that are more than likely going to really understand what you are going through. It really helps to know you really aren't alone in all of this. Some people join a gym, or some sort of physical activity, some people can take up a hobby and get lost in the process of doing "X". It really depends on what works for you. Best of luck to you! PS. Welcome to the forums!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeb6901 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I'm with Waffles on this one...the folks on here I've found to be so much more helpful than any therapist. Sometimes unloading all your troubles, even to complete strangers, can be just what we need!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcake_girl Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) Definitely writing.. I've been keeping journals for a long time now and when I write my feelings down, it always makes me feel a little better.
