I would never kill myself, but I understand how ppl end up doing it. shyt is actually painful mentally and physically. Nothing makes you happy for more than a fleeting moment and you see the negative in everything. I might have to see a therapist because it is becoming unbearable. This world is the black man's hell.

my best advice is exercise and unplug. our brains ain't meant to be bombarded with all the information we get daily.

don't do any alcohol or drugs for a while as that just makes matters worse.

see a therapist if you're ready and willing. it's not for everybody.

Seek a counsellor first if you're unsure about full out therapy. I saw a counsellor, then a doctor prescribed some medication which i hated. so i've just been trying to improve myself and i'm better now than i was earlier this year. but i still feel detached

:mjcry:sighs...here it goes:

I appreciate the fact that this thread was made to be able to address whats been going on and hopefully it will reach some heads in The Coli.

Throughout this year, its been a roller coaster ride of emotions. I'm still dealing with my mother's passing, being stuck in a rut financially, and fears of being evicted from the apartment. Just last month I quit my part time job in hopes of trying to build something on a business like manner, but the grim reality is that I was using the job as a coping mechanism. Throughout the weeks I went in a downward spiral of depression to the point that I threw up everything I ate. My appetite was a mess, I was emotionally drained, and didn't want to get out of bed. I ended up walking to a Urgent Care facility begging for help. Once I receive the help (prescription wise), the doctor just gave me a big hug and breh...I cried like a newborn coming out the womb. It was the first time somebody hugged me like on a spiritual level since my moms and grandmother was on this earth.

Depression is a invisible friend that comforts you, eat your food, and talks for you. You have to expose it and once it's shown, you will feel comfortable again to know the fact that you need help. We all need help, but it's up to you to find a coping skill until shyt gets better.

Trust me, you are not alone in this battle breh....you are not alone.

Black men and women, we need to utilize therapy. Seek help, and talk with someone if you need to.

I had a therapist when I was 17 after I lost my sibling. He would ask questions, and I’d always hold back. Finally I stopped seeing him, and was just so depressed and angry. It took me years to realize I needed help, so I finally got a therapist and I actually talk to her now.

Seek help brotha, and really utilize that help. Life is hard. Go and speak to someone.

Get help breh. You can’t do it alone. Meds, therapy, counseling and familial/friend support takes off the edge. You can feel better. I struggle with bad depression, anxiety and full blown mania and psychosis. Best thing is to relax, unplug and seek support like other breh have said
