Dont XDDDD

But seriously tho, think about what happens if you dont face your troubles. They'll just pile up and pile up and pile up and pile up and pile up until you have a impossible mountain of problems.

Do you have a idol? Someone you loom up to? What would they do.

Just a recommendation However take this with a grain of salt I suggest you talk to people, from what I heard just keeping quiet of depression often makes it worst so just talk about it with close friends and family.

But seriously, you're best seeking professional help, your local GP's are great and keep a doctor-patient confidential. Please get help.

What the title says, it follows me where ever I go, I just want to run away from every piece of trouble. Depression fucks you up someone help.
Pretend to yourself and others you don't have problems, and that you're confident as can be. Eventually, this becomes real confidence, and that's all you'll ever need.

Sometimes you just have to face your fears.

I do this a lot when i am nervous about something or am lazy and such.

Just think to your self, get up, go do it, get it done no matter what anyone says. Belive in yourself and it will turn out good. Give yourself a pep-talk essentially.

Honestly, most depression cases I have seen are those who do not see value in life itself.

One of the ways to counteract this is to have a hobby in life, a goal to strive for, something to pursue.

For those who lost a loved one / saw shit in a battefield, this might not be the best method to solve your problems. But losing your passion in life and getting depressed, getting kicked out of a good program that you thought would be your dream and getting depressed, or just reading and seeing the bad things in live leading to depression...

Well, the above is a good solution for those types of depression. But if you are depressed due to SERIOUS THINGS, like your parents DIED, then you need to see a professional, not post on a roleplay forum where no one really gives a shit at the end of the day.

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT

I care about you, we all care about you, there is no need to do that.

This seems like rather serious depression, and yes you should see a doctor.

But really, do not exit this world any way like that.

Like most posts here. I recommend seeing a professional at this time as if you're considering suicide. Do you have a mother to tell/talk to at least?

Dude.

See a professional, seriously.

I can guarantee you that when you look back to this day, you will feel like shit for picking a roleplay forum to discuss your problems while your father is dying of cancer over a professional that could have helped you get over your slump and to confront the issue head on before he dies.

SER-I-FUCKING-USLY.

the only escape is confronting your problems in life head on
the longer you run, the worse it becomes, the more miserable you will be
