Also, consider going out for jogs or going to the gym. I find that it helps balance the stress that I have accumulating throughout the week. Also, it makes you feel better about yourself and often times that is the first step towards getting a bit better. But once again, I would suggest you see a professional. Hope things get better :)

No offense but what is a therapist going to do? Prescribe me some tablets? Putting me on medicine, tell me things I already know or send me to some nut house if I'm bad enough.
I'm against medicine of any kind.

My problem lies somewhere else and I need a different kind of help than what medicine or a therapist can do.

The exact reason why I refused to go to (and still) see my doctor about it. No amount of counselling or drugs could make it better.

But trust me when I say it gets better. I never thought it could, but I found purpose. I have a reason to get out of the bed in the morning and I even have a smile on my face. I am eternally indebted to the person who helped me see the sunshine.

Therapists don't prescribe medication; psychiatrists/other medical doctors prescribe medication. In the US, anyway, only a couple states even allow people with just psychology degrees (therapists) to prescribe medication. But that's not really an important distinction to note because you are an adult and no one is going to force you to take medication or commit you to some sort of facility just because you've been slightly depressed lately, anyway. It sounds like you have a really poor understanding of what therapy is. But whatever; none of that stuff works if you don't want help and would rather complain on an online forum.

The point was not what a therapist does or doesn't do. And medicine is not going to help me because the problem is not that I feel depressed. The issue is that I'm going through some things that I can not change (not in the near future at least) and that fact makes me sad and depressed. It's not medicine that's going to solve this. It's like taking a fistful of tablets because your car broke and you're 800 km from home, you feel me?

I think Euphemism was just trying to clear up some confusion when it came to terminology. Also, sorry to hear that it's some issues in your life right now that is causing you to be stressed. Posting some questions on how to resolve or deal with some of your problems over in /r/relationships could be helpful. The people over there are really good at being compassionate, lending an ear, and offering helpful advice.

You said that you found no joy in life and spent all of your time sleeping/staying in your home generally feeling unhappy without providing any explanation for why you felt that way, which is indicative of depression. Someone suggested professional help, and you said you didn't want to take medication, so I told you that professional help (eg therapists) does not solely consist of medication. What part of this are you failing to understand? No one here told you to take medication. If you don't want to take medication, don't. I didn't say that medication will fix your problems, I said that "professional help" is not what you think it is, and you shouldn't dismiss it because you don't like medication.

I'm not telling you that you are definitely depressed and need to take medication or see a doctor; just letting you know that your expectations regarding therapy are false and that you may actually find it helpful. Or not. But in either case, don't dismiss it because you don't like pills.

I've made some very bad decisions in my life that I regret heavily and probably will do until the day I die.

I think every person alive made at least a few very poor decisions that they are going to regret for the rest of their days.

I lived a fairly neutral and straight forward life, never dealing with any extremes or picking sides. Most of my bad decisions are related to school or lifestyle (such as smoking at a young age). Don't get me wrong, I like smoking weed (never tobbaco) but doing it as a kid can mess with your life pretty bad (not health related, but in relationships with family, friends, school colleagues).

Sometimes bad decisions are just as good as the good decisions. The reason I say that is because it's through bad decisions that you learn the life-lessons that help shape who you are.

I smoked weed when i was young,tho as i got older and older i smoke less and less i cant remeber when was the last time i smoked.
Regarding deciouns everyone made their,feeling sry for bad wont corect it.I learned that even if i make bad decious il stick to it and make best of it.If u have problems addres to ur family or friends they will help u after all they are closest one.Taking a head on with ur problems while they are still small is better b4 they grow in big one and there is now way back then.
