Does anyone else here have depression?

[MURAI]

I've read it and I know what they're saying. You have to have a nihilistic vision of the world and any band that gets any commercial success are sell outs. If you dont agree with us, you're wrong. I remember on one part on the site it is written that Cannibal Corpse, Tool and Pantera are sell outs because they use their death metal image to sell. What the fuck is that? Tool and Pantera aren't death metal at all and they dont have a "death metal image" .

 

[Life Sucks]

Lol. I can't believe that such an underground metal site would associate Tool and Pantera with death metal.

 

[MURAI]

That statement proves that that site is bullshit. That statement is like saying that Chinese people are cool cause they are white. Tool isn't even miles and miles close to death metal and its image. Even though Pantera can get pretty heavu almost as much as some death metal, still they are clearly not death metal.

@Hearse: I'm not Arch, but that is the picture he posted and claimed it was him.

Bringing this one up again.. I think some good points have been made here and Id like to bring the discussion back to life

 

[Over Broen]

Depression is greediness and selfishness, people whowant more than they have e.t.c

dont you think making fun of depressed people is pretty selfish?

 

[Over Broen]

alright for my deppression (laugh if you will) i try to write it out in poem/lyric form. it sorta works at least beter than anything else ive tryed.

 

[Life Sucks]

Yeah, I noticed that writing lyrics about depression helps me feel better. As does listening to depressing music.

 

[Ethereal Sage]

I won't add my opinion to the thread, but I might make mention of some tracks I listen to when I feel less than OK.

My Dying Bride - For My Fallen Angel
Anathema - All of it, especially Hope, Regret, A Dying Wish and Restless Oblivion.
Brighter Death Now - Necrose Evangelium and Soul In Flames
Desiderii Marginis - Deadbeat album
Letum - The Entrance To Salvation album
Limbonic Art - In Mourning Mystique (great track)
Raison D'etre - All of it, especially The Slow Ascent, The Hidden Hollows, Spiraal, The Well Of Sadness and all of the Within The Depths Of Silence and Phormations album
This Mortal Coil - All, especially Ivy and Neet

Hope anyone finds something useful in there.

I have depression. I just listen to anything that has soul to it. I tried writing
but I always get a block. So I take medicaton now. So I'm a happy camper

 

[SID01]

I haven't been diagnosed but I do get quite shitty most of the time...Smoking too much tweeds seems to help alot...

 

[Ethereal Sage]

Isn't it funny that resigning yourself to a higher power is considered the ultimate choice of a pure and clear consciousness, yet it is not so far removed from giving in to depression...and allowing the polluted world to damn your soul?

 

[SculptedCold]

I think i've been slipping into depression for the last couple of months....but i'm not quite there yet.

I'm going to resurrect a defunct exercise regime. I think that's the best step for me right now.

Limbonic Art - In Mourning Mystique (great track)

Yeah I second that! That is Limbonic Art's best performance in my opinion. In general "Moon in the Scorpio" is absoluetly genuis work. That track does indeed help with depression for me for some reason.

But speaking of depressive music, what is your take on Sentenced? I love the video for "No one there". Absolutely genuis. That video actually made me start to cry, because it was so depressing. That was weird though, because I never cried at something like that out of the blue. Absolutely fuckin genuis video.

Profanity: You just gotta stop with these cut-downs man. I know it's a joke to you, but you just gotta stop. This is a serious topic and cutting people down for what they suffer from isn't right. (And it's not their fault, it's human nature)

 

[Ethereal Sage]

Haven't heard or can't recall tracks by Sentenced, will have to look into it.

Yeah, exercise is a great way to fight depression. I lift weights religiously. If it weren't for that, I would be a lot more depressed than I already am.

 

[Human Desert]

@ the first post of this thread: yes. i go to therapy twice a week (even though i don't want to) and my therapist is putting me on medication now (and i don't want that either) *sigh* i'm not just depressed though, there's some other stuff too.

Maybe, but only if you become totally dependant on this 'higher power' regardless of what it is...

 

[Ethereal Sage]

So you agree dependancy is a crutch that most people can't get past?

 

[SID01]

'Most' people, yes...I reckon if you keep yourself occupied and vary your methods you may not become dependant.
