This will not be a happy thread, don't read if you want to remain happy. Over this weekend, a freshman at my school drowned. Here's the story. Him, and his 2 buddies stole a fishing boat at 1:30 in the morning, and went for a boating ride. Apparently there was drugs and alcohol included. The freshman forgot his inhaler, and suffered an Adam attack, and fell in the water. His friends could not save him in time, and we sadly lost a member of our community. Today, was depressing. Everyone was to wear blue, which did happen. Some classes were happy and joyful, quoting a teacher "You should be celebrating that we're almost done with this unit". One class, our teacher sat down and discussed with us, and offered her phone number if anyone needed someone to talk to after school. Two people were in tears, but there would have been more if he was in our grade. How do you handle depressing events such as deathes, or losses of someone close to you. I don't mean like CJS or Hermes leaving PiMD, I mean real world depression. Do you try to advoid the tragedy, or embrace it and let your feelings out? Enjoy life, live it to the fullest, and don't make stupid decisions. R.I.P Alex. KingCal
I recently lost one of my bff from high school. I cope by remembering the good times, embracing the memories. She had a beautiful smile. That's how I will always remember her; even though it hurts and I'm in tears as I write this I'll cherish all those great memories forever. She battled illness and through it all she kept smiling. RIP JM
I think. I think about my life, how I live, how the person lived. I try to focus on psychological activities to keep my head sane.
I would what you call a "downer" or something to that effect. I hardly ever smile. I'm not emo and i'm not like "I hate my life. I'm going to get 5 million tatooes and piercings, then, everyone will make fun of me and i'll cry. Yay." I'm just not ever happy. I'm neutral. Did what I say offend you? I don't care.
@[blue]SlenderMan[/blue]-I agree, keeping your mind occupied is always good when you're feeling depressed. Also surrounding yourself with friends and family helps; the worst thing you can do is stay alone. It's not good to keep things bottled up; I would also say talking about it also helps.
Sorry to hear Well when my dad died I just cried a lot and I still do. Crying is lame I feel sometimes... But you gotta let your feelings out... So yeah u cry or write poems/raps/songs/etc. I don't really know of any other ways but yeah lol
Why would crying be lame? A good cry can be very cathartic. I vent to others, I bake, I cry. Trying to stay busy so you get your mind off of it does help.
When I lost my two buddies(Due to them getting shot) I cried for a long as time. I had known them for a long time, they were basically my brothers. But after a while my sadness slowly went away, and now I live for them, they aren't dead, cos they live in my heart and memories
And music, drawing, partying helped me as well. Find a song u can relate to or something, and we had a party in their honor
Crying is like releasing years of repression. Don't be ashamed of your feelings, it's normal to cry. Also, I used to throw knives at my wall but my parents got mad so I stopped.
I've lost 3 people in the last 6 months due to suicide. I coped with being able to talk freely about them, poems, drawling, crying, and sharing the memories I had with them RIP Issac RIP Chip RIP Alexandria
Life goes on. Noone would like others to be depressed about his/her demise. Just dont abuse ur body with drugs and/or alcohol. Live ur life. Learn from faults of others.
