Find love if that makes sense, do something that makes you happy. Think about some of the happiest moments in your childhood.

What made those moments stick out? Vividly imagine it, the wonder, of all the scents/imagery/ideas floating in your head. Think about the imagination and wonder and realize that you still are that kid inside. You have that love and happiness in you, but the circumstances that are on you are bogging you down. Try giving to people to make their day, helping someone, or going out of your way to do something.

Then think about how every moment you could do onward could have a little bit of happiness in it. The once you get enough good experiences, your depression will fade a good bit.

It seems hopeless, and that's alright. It's no problem to feel that way, just take it moment by moment and try to think about that love man.

PARTY Gets Me Wetr

Sorry to hear about this op but you’re not alone!

For me I like to watch funny things. Laughter always helped. I also try to get out of my own head by checking on others and asking them how they’re doing you know? Like taking the attention off of myself. I try to become a blessing to others and see how I can improve their quality of living but not in a way that drains me of course.

Long walks in the sunlight talking to God and speaking to him exactly what’s on my mind like a homeboy. Yes, even suicide. Talk to your creator about everything . Formally and casually

Also counting my blessings and realizing all I’m grateful for. Thankful that I’m free and not in jail. Not in a hospital. Thankful I have food to eat, and a bed to rest on. Soap to wash my body, A/C and heat in the house to keep me comfortable. Having an erection, yes being grateful for the simplest things in my life like an erection keeps me happy

Definitely being mindful of the content you consume helps. Not saying to cut out toxic things completely but definitely designating a limit helps. For example instead of listening to lil durk and Detroit violent music, I make time for jazz and jhene aiko too

Hope I helped and take life one second at a time. Just one second bro

honestly I went though something similar at the beginning of the year. I had a plan: time, place, method were all set up and I was planning on writing a letter.

The only reason I didn't follow through with it was because I couldn't stop thinking about the pain I would inflict on my loved ones if I were to off myself.

I couldn't get over that pain and anguish that I would inflict on them for doing such an act. I knew that they would feel responsible for it to a certain degree, and it would just be this dark cloud that would veil my entire social circle. Frankly, they don't deserve to feel that pain on top of all of their own individual problems. I couldn't "think" my way out of that pattern and so I didn't do it.

I'm doing better now and am looking for a therapist.

Just my two cents OP. Hope this helps.
