Personal update (if you dont care dont click)
I have took it upon my self to hangup the Xbox Controller most likely for good. Due to a rapid increase in school work and a really low math grade.
I have also started going to the gym almost everyday and so far that's going well
However lately I have been feeling pretty depressed, almost everything has lost meaning for me and it's hard to get up everyday and go to school. A few months ago I asked God to test my faith and I hope it's that.

Cool, can Varvatos have the controller then?

I think it’s about being disciplined in the little things. It prepares you for the big things. Being thankful in general goes a long ways. I think it’s easier for people to come closer to God when they are broken in some way. I feel It is definitely more difficult for the rich or comfortable in most cases to call out to God because they feel a false sense of security. Drive on!

I would recommend seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist. Also video game addiction and lowering it will cause depression for a while. Since you aren't getting instant gratification anymore.

13 RepliesSo, you asked God to test your faith and think he may have answered. Meanwhile there are millions of kids going without food and water.... I just don't get the selfishness of religious people....

2 RepliesSounds like you're suffering from real life. I recommend a good cry in the shower.

Remember, we are here. Just tell us and let out the steam.

Good luck. Hopefully something good comes out of this.

Edited by StoneFlare21: 4/15/2019 2:17:26 PMI've been dealing with the same stuff (both the depression and the school work). Just hang in there, if you're at the bottom the only way to go is up, right? For me mostly the weather kinda adds to the bumming out, I get really gloomy around this time of year. But it's good that you're working out, because despite the pain of exercising it really does take your mind off stress. As long as you put your faith in God, I'm sure that he'll have your back and he will help you (even when it doesn't seem like it now).

Welcome to getting older. This lack of meaning will happen from time to time and it usually is accompanied by varying degrees of depression. Then you will find new interests and it will go away. The main thing though, is to not let the depression touch you. Acknowledge it, face it, but do not let it control you. Take NIL's advice and have a cry in the shower, because it is not crying if you have shower water running down your face, it is being a man and contributing to saving money on your water bill by producing your own water! ( No, do not pee in the shower!) I hit this feeling every couple of years. I lose interest in things, get down and then find a new interest or hobby and all is right in my world again.

i’m always willing to talk, hit my pms up, but my best advice is to do what feels right. when i’m depressed, trying to be kind and helpful to others generally gets me doing something other than self pitying, and also, when you see the smile on another persons face, you realize that maybe you feel like shit but you can prevent others from feeling that way too.

1 ReplyGlad you're taking care of yourself, even if you're not feeling great. If you ever need to talk, let me know.

Edited by Tilman G: 4/15/2019 3:29:47 AMI blame communism... Hear me out... School summer break has been getting shorter and shorter. Which removes all of our time to enjoy life with our families doing stuff. And what happens when you have minimal interaction with your parents? You begin to hate them for “not being there for you.” Then... you begin to do the opposite of that they did because you think that they did everything wrong Now... when were most of our parents growing up? During the Cold War where they learned of the evils of communism. Edit: I forgot the main part. I’ve noticed that with shorter summer breaks I lost the will to go to school and just wanted to stay horns, compared to suffering through with longer breaks.
