Just for clarity's sake, there is a medical demarcation between generalized suicidal thoughts and thoughts about the ways that you might commit suicide.

Many, many people have suicidal thoughts and it's not necessarily indicative of a desire to carry it out.

I'm glad you're feeling better. For clarification's sake, by doctor you mean psychologist, not MD?

I know we're pretty much beating a dead horse here, but I find "substances" do be much more fun when you're already in a good mood. When I get down I go out and do *something*. literally anything beats sitting at the house/wherever, alone and sad. Pick yourself up and go to the library, lake, pool hall, whatever...get yourself feeling better.

THEN you can ...indulge :-)

Caffeine for sure! Especially in the form of chocolate ice cream. Well, that's MINE anyway.

A-fucking-men.

Don't get me wrong, though: I love women. Life would be dull and empty, without them. (And I'm not just talking about the sex.) But, man, have they caused me a lot of frustration and heartache.

Anyway... My drug of choice is alcohol; preferably, red wine. It helps me relax and unwind, and it slows down my thoughts and softens the edge on them.

Yep. Get off your ass and do something. Excercise. Sex. Volunteer and experience other people that are worse off than you.

By the way - why you use drugs of any kind to help you through emotional problems and depression you are self-medicating and stepping out on that slippery slope of addiction.

I like your style. Me too.

I've given most of the classic illegal substances a go, though not specifically in order to escape the black dog. Which is good, because that's precisely what they didn't do - particularly the amphetamine variety. I second - third - fourth - the previous comments about exercise. Running especially.

But sometimes you just have to ride out a dark mood, in the knowledge that it won't last - it'll be better tomorrow. That happens too.

Reading the pervious post made me think of something else. We appreciate the good times more when we also experience the contrast of the bad times. You can't have good without bad. Ying and yang. It gives us perspective. And on a final note, everyone experiences a little blue-ness from time to time. It's just a part of life. Dealing with it makes you stronger and the support of others makes it much easier to deal with since we are social creatures by nature.

Yes Roachboy Piano, or Dido, Imogen Heap, Anna Nalick, I couldn't seem to figure out why girls listen to these kind of music until I tried. They give you a sense of satisfaction that is kind of perverse.

Don't get me wrong, Zeraph, being sad is not kicking yourself or feeling sorry for yourself, but only to help you realize and asses how far down you are then you can begin to plan for a successful climb back up. It worked for me....

Sometimes when I'm blue I cut myself some slack, turn on Tidal by Fiona Apple, and wallow in it for a bit.

Then I start in on the exercise.

What are you talking about, roachboy? Dido is one of the greatest pianists of our time.

When I'm feeling blue, I like to partake in irony.

Many of us are irony deficient and could probably use subtlementation.
