<p>What makes you genuinely depressed? I detest to be the angels advocate, but it's only impartial that I do; so, what truly makes you feel jubilant? </p>
<p>FPS shooters and Mcdonalds makes me happy, temporarily of course. Everything besides that compels me to feel depressed. </p>
<p>Did I mention that Bawls=Happiness ?</p>
<p>I get genuinely depressed when I realize that life is pointless. Or that it has meaning only within borders created by our own society.</p>
<p>And for some reason my post got over your topic... o_O</p>
<p>Ahh.. another thinker! </p>
<p>I tend to over-analyze things. I often think about what the purpose of life is and I've come to realize that one of the purpose of life is to find a purpose.</p>
<p>I get depressed when I think about my death. Once I die, game over. I really hope reincarnation is real lol.
I become happy when I play video games and listen to classical music.</p>
<p>Maby those of you who become depressed when considering death should join a church. It will lead to fulfillment and less anxiety over "the end."</p>
<p>Life is a cereal.</p>

<p>No offense to Christianity, but you couldn't pay me to go to church.</p>
<p>You all should read Notes From Underground to sort this sorta thing out, not turn to some bogus organized religion. </p>
<p>This is obviously a cliche, but I was far more miserable when I was a recluse in 9th and 10th grade as opposed to my more social self now. I have a solid group of friends to talk about music, books, and blaze.</p>
<p>I wonder what it is about 10th grade. It seems that people I know (myself included) had a smooth sailing 9th grade, then 10th grade came around and things just fell apart. This has happened to me as well as to many other people I know. It's weird how it's not 11th grade or 12th.. hmm.</p>
<p>I shouldn't think of it, but yeah, once you die, it won't matter what your SAT scores were, your EC list, or what college you attended, it'll just be Game over, as someone said...</p>
<p>"Or that it has meaning only within borders created by our own society."</p>
<p>really? this makes me happy, sort of. it really highlights the amount of power and control we have over ourselves as humans. totally autonomous. loves it.</p>
<p>I wonder how fragile a man's life can be.
Isn't it weird how a bullet, a car accident, cancer, and whatever other momentary and small events can just end someone's years-long life within a second? Like, with one shot, you can demolish all the knowledge in his brain he gained from 15+ years of schooling and 3498700 hours of homework & tests, relationships and bridges with everyone he countered, beautiful memories, all the labor and toil he must have endured doing whatever, and every other things that it took him years and years of his whole life to achieve. It takes years to gain something out of life but only one short moment for all that everything to vaporize.</p>

<p>Very well said !
It is really incredible how everything you learn, everything you achieve, everything you love will disappear forever just like a dream... A dream that is simply too short... 1 second before you die you really realize that life is pointless...
I wondered what's our role on Earth? Life is mere suffer and enjoy, fall then rise, hate and love, cry then laugh, live to die... But WHY ?!?</p>

I most definitely empathize with this question. </p>
<p>I actually came to a disagreement with my previous post. Some things DO last after deaths. Many things do. A novel, a work of art, an invention, a law, and good deeds that helped the civilization move foward and made history and worth remaining here even after the person himself disappeared.</p>

<p>Oh, they last, but not long enough globally. Whatever we do now is useless. It is like constructing a building that will fall apart in 80 (150?) years. You can discover a cure for AIDS, yes, that will last, but again only within the borders of our society. When people will die out, Sun or Milky Way Galaxy won't care about your discovery.</p>
<p>What keeps me alive is will to provide better opportunities for people in the future, so they will be able to find out the point of living. What we try to achieve in our everyday life (good college, work, lots of money) is only valuable in our society.</p>
<p>What makes me super depressed:
- When I think about the possibility that there's no life after death (NO ONE can confirm or reject this so it will forever be an enigma). I don't have a religion, but I am not an atheist either. I just don't know. It makes me super depressed to think that death might really be the end, and that one day I am going to be old and my mom is not going to be there, my dad is not going to be there, my brother isn't either, nor my cat, nor anyone I ever loved and that I'd never see them again because they are truly gone. </p>
<p>What makes me happy:
- My family, my pets, all my loved ones.
- Success (Other people's as well as mine)
- Realizing how beautiful life is (i.e. the absolute perfection of everything in nature, even of the most "insignificant" blade of grass)</p>
<p>im depressed right now because i failed my drivers test</p>
<p>Ha. This thread makes me happy.</p>
