how do you deal with mental pain/depression?

I have a weird kind of panic disorder. It is either an over intense fight/flight response (which would make more sense in the case of getting anxious before public speaking) or an overactive disgust system (I'll explain in a min, but we do have a system that makes us disgusted seperate from other emotional processing).

I get severe (have to lay down for 20 min, feel like I'm going to die) panic attacks when I see movie blood or really gory disgusting things. It isn't that I don't like them, its that I cannot physically handle it. Thats why this type of anxiety problem is thought to be a problem in the disgust system.

But ya, nothing more embarassing than having to excuse yourself from the group to "go lie down and not die"

Tsk tsk...and this whole time I thought I was going to watch a bloody movie with you when I go to visit Canada.

That really sucks, bro.

It it worse when you cause the blood? (In a fight or something.)

It is kinda lame, for almost the reason you described. There have been many times when people have been like "Oh, lets put this movie on or whatever" and I just sort of quietly have to be like "well, I can't stay here if you put that on..."

Moderatly akward

This is the weirdest part. It changes on a day to day basis.

On most days, real blood (even if its on TV, like when they show murder victims or whatever) doesn't do too much to me. And I have a fairly high tolorance for just "blood" (ie, without any real gory context). However, if someone is say, drinking another person's blood, or something just weird, and it is hyper realistic, and the blood is spattering everywhere, and the camera work is made to gross you out, ya, it really puts me over the edge.

Then there are bad days, where like, I'll cut myself shaving and feel really anxious and need to sit down.

HOLY SHIT DUDE!

It is totally impossible for me to comprehend something like this. Same thing with motion sickness...I totally can't comprehend it. It really does go right over my head. I can, in no way, be sympathetic...I only gotz empathy for this type of thing. 😕

lol, well, thanks

If I had my way, I'd pick a way to have people ignore it (which sounds so genuine after going to pains to explain my condition). Empathy is appreciated, but it does feel a little condesending. LOL, it is more than anything, a hit to my pride. Sort of a really blunt way of knowing that I'm just a little bit broken compared to the rest of society. But, ya, thanks 🙂

I generally sit in front of the television isolating myself in the house while eating mood enhancing foods. After i crash from my food enduced high. I begin to dwell intensely on my problems. Although it pulls you deeper into despair, self loathing and self pity feels strangely reassuring.

Thats how i deal with depression.

I can definetly identify with that.

inimalist seems to have an excellent sense of humour. I wouldn't do it with an overly sensitive and fragile person.

Well, to be fair, we only picked on the Jews because they were wealthy (heaven stolen our German money) and could fight back.

At least my Hitler Youth instructor told me so. Then again he also told me to drop on my knees, close my eyes and suck the sweet juice of nationalism out of a hose.

simple. how do you personally deal with mentalpain or depression. how well do you deal and what are the causative factors for it{in ur case/oppinion}.

1) Ask myself why am I depressed, then if I really care about what I am depressed about.

2) Meditate and focus on something or someone I love, instead of focusing on the object of negativity.

3) Do something I love...such as Artwork, lifting weights, masturbaiting, meditation some more, video games, chatting with good freinds, watching a funny movie, reading mythology/philosophy/literature, or having sex with someone I haven't had sex with in a while.

If there is one thing I learned it's that Life is way too short to waste time on needless suffering. And I learned how easy it really is to manipulate your own emotions, and free yourself from an undesired state of mind.

There is So0o0o0 much fun to be had, and it's all your choice. You can either focus on what makes you miserable, or focus on what makes you happy.
