I used to be very depressed and a lot of the reason is because I thought of life the same way. Just a series of events, big and small, capped of with death and then the end of existence. But, one day I stopped being depressed about it and pessimistic and became a realist. Yeah, it IS just a series of events, big and small, capped off with death and then the end of existance. (In my opinion anyhow.) But, why sit around bitching about it and letting it control me. I figure I've got a good 70-80 yrs. and I'm going to use them the best I can regardless if it's all for nought. (sp?)

Life can be really great if you put others before yourself. If you do that then you're not focusing on yourself and dwelling on yourself and feeling sorry for yourself.
It gives you a purpose and a freedom to really make a difference and it changes your whole outlook about yourself for the better, then one day, you realize you're not depressed anymore.
Worked for me...I've been quite depressed at times.
I never feel that way because I never take for granted the things I have that other people may not have. I have all 5 senses, I'm healthy, and I enjoy the area I live in because I think it's beautiful.
If all that is meaningless...then I live for one reason and one reason alone. Because I love to laugh and everyday I find something new to laugh about.

I am just wondering has anyone ever felt like everything seems pointless and have asked themselves why do this why do that. I am hoping for people with meaningful and time worthy coments to post.
I do things because others may need me to do them. I don't do things just for myself. There are times people might depend on me and I feel that I have to help them. That's meaningful for me....to do things for others.

Great keep them coming glad to see peopel have such a positive view on life.
I didn't always. Believe me, I was probably on of the most negitive people out there. But basically you have two choices,
1. Live your life in sorrow, and be alone
or 2. Be happy for what you have in life.

What if I am happy that I am sorrow and alone? Isn't that a third choice?
For all u depressed men out there, find a girl that u can truly love, as in love so much that ud kill urself willingly and gladly to save her even a hairspluck worth of ssadness, once u do that n stop thinkin about urselves, everythin else comes easy. love can really put things in perspective for ya.
