I am often depressed. It's a regular thing for me. It's so regular I make jokes about it. I listen to music sometimes. But most of the time, I surround myself with people who care about me, like my friends. I am usually depressed due to issues with being alone and lack of human interaction, beyond my family that I see every day. I have very strict parents so I'm not allowed to go out into the world, like a normal 16 year old girl, going to the mall with friends. So I rant to my friends, or I hang out with my friends. I then have myself a good cry because although a majority of my depression may be caused by social reasons, there is a lot of things that make me depressed that I am not entirely sure abo u. Like paranoia, fear, pain, failure, etc. I draw, and let my emotions take control while I draw, and that eventually helps with the heavy weights that drag me down. I listen to slam poem artists, although it's a cringey theater kid sorta thing for those depressed thespians, it helps me. I can relate to it. I get lost in the emotions, and forget everything that makes my life miserable. I have this little book that I got for Christmas, and it's called "A Teaspoon full of courage." I read it, its little quotes and stuff, but I mainly just look at the pictures of the baby animals cause they make me happy, I'd advise getting a book like that, its stupid, but it really lifts my mood! I also read my favorite books too, and so get lost in an entirely different world from mine, in a society were the world is like Pangaea but it's divided by these huge walls, and there's this insane girl whose the daughter of the leader of 1 of the areas, and she falls off the wall landing on some Russian dude and she gets saved from getting murdered. I also have t is huge book about a murderer in the 1800s, its kinda like Sherlock Holmes as far as the plot. When I'm not doing one of those, I look at pictures. Pictures of me with my friends, or pictures of my friends. It makes me happy seeing others happy so that helps.

☆I hope this is meaningful or something to you! to stay alive! :blue_heart: I care about you, if you ever need to talk, I'm here! I'll listen! Depression doesn't rule your life, so don't let it! It's just an emotional state in which you feel stuck and helpless, it doesn't define you, it doesn't rule you, so don't listen to the horrible thoughts it gives you. HMU if you need to talk to someone or rant/vent. I'm here.☆
