It seems everyone around me is depressed, and they always come to me for advice....apparently it's good advice, because they say it works. Couple people told me these conversations I had with some friends were pretty good. Thought I'd post em just so people could read em, and see what they think.
Enjoy.

Dare Bear says:
suffering is what im used to =]
Matthew says:
Exactly.
Matthew says:
You stick yourself in a cycle, and stay with it.
Matthew says:
It's a self destructive spiral.
Matthew says:
You have ta learn to pull yourself out of it.
Dare Bear says:
eh...
Matthew says:
You have trouble doing that.
Matthew says:
Thats why your still depressed.
Dare Bear says:
i wish it had a guidline not some "look inside yourself" bullshit
Matthew says:
The inside is the cause. Your actions are your cure.
Matthew says:
However, you dont make your cure.
Matthew says:
You just keep the instructions on how to make it in your head.
Matthew says:
You want me to help, i'll help you, but in the end, the effort is on your side. ^ ^
Dare Bear says:
what would the help do? I dont know how to do it -_- im not all knowing, im just some stupid, ignorant, 15 year old child ._.
Matthew says:
And youll remain as such if you keep your crap up.
Matthew says:
Stop pitying yourself. Stop caring what people think about your body. Love yourself, because you cannot enjoy anything to the fullest if you dont. Eat healthy. Fruits, greens, proteins. Work out 4 times a week. Stop calling yourself stupid and ugly. Know your beautiful. Know your smart. No matter what anyone says, if you know it, its true to you.
Matthew says:
The key to happiness is the intensity of your will to be happy.
Dare Bear says:
what if i really dont want to be happy?
Matthew says:
Then you live a crap life, you die, and the world goes on.
Matthew says:
But you know something?
Matthew says:
Everyone wants to be happy.
Matthew says:
When your depressed, it doesnt matter. Nothing does. Your an ugly, stupid fuck. No one likes you. Your fat. Your worthless. Useless. If you died, no one would care anyway. The world is cruel, and disgusting. Thats depression.
Dare Bear says:
sounds normal to me ._.
Matthew says:
Its a cycle that continues forever.
Matthew says:
Happiness? Happiness is defiance. Intensity. Inner fire and passion. Refusal to be sad.
Matthew says:
To tear yourself from the muck of sadness and anger is the goal.
Matthew says:
It requires an inner strength that EVERY human has.
Matthew says:
You program your mind to be sad? It adjusts. Gets used to it. Happiness is the same.
Matthew says:
To be happy, you need the power to KNOW things.
Matthew says:
KNOW your happy. KNOW your beatiful. KNOW your charming.
Matthew says:
Dont let people who put you down get in the way.
Matthew says:
If you think you might be ugly, your doing it worng.
Matthew says:
*wrong
Matthew says:
Dont get upset at people. Always have humor. The world is one big smiling joke.
Matthew says:
Anger just breeds anger.
Matthew says:
Dont think so much.
Matthew says:
Thinking about love, life, and people is good, but go out and experience that. Dont ponder it all the time.
Matthew says:
Go out more. Get more air.
Matthew says:
Talk to people. If you think they are stupid for something, your doing it wrong.
Matthew says:
All people are equal.
Matthew says:
No matter how much dick head behavior they put out, they are equal to you.
Matthew says:
Where there is a problem, there is a cause.
Matthew says:
Nothing comes to you.
Matthew says:
Nothing.
Matthew says:
You want something? You reach up and take it.
Matthew says:
You want happiness? You have to get it yourself.
Matthew says:
This world is hard. Only those with intensity survive.
Matthew says:
You have to be tough, understanding, and ruthless.
Matthew says:
Strength of character, Strength of body, Strength of mind.
Matthew says:
There.
Matthew says:
There's your help.
Dare Bear says:

"help 101" should be the name of your classroom door
------------------
Daft says:
all I do is whine to you. and all I did today was find a way to kill myself. I should just deal with my own problems instead of unloading it on other people.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
I don’t mind. I just wish you would start helping yourself instead of making it worse.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
I like you. You remind me of how I used to be.
Daft says:
Its hard dude, I’ve been depressed because I had a dream last night, and I can't stop thinking about it
Daft says:
Believe me
Daft says:
I'm trying to stop
Daft says:
But I can't
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Dreams are nothing to get depressed about.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
I know what your problem is.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
You don’t focus on what’s outside of you. You are obsessed with the inside. Thoughts, emotions, theory.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
There is nothing wrong with that, but you tip the scales far too much.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
You only focus on your emotions.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
You need to bring yourself back to this world, bud.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Whether you like it or not, you have to do it, or you'll stay depressed.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Your mind, your energy, your being is out of balance.
Daft says:
I can't fix it. I don't even know how, or where to start.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
You know where to start. What’s the most physical thing you are close to? Your body.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Your body is part of the physical world that you are detached from.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
If you start taking care of your body, you start to bring the balance back.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Right now, you are in your head.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
You feel everything, instead of observing it.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
The world is a pretty tough place. You have to keep your emotions in your body, instead of throwing them around the place, or you’ll be damaged by the negativity around you.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
You become hyper sensitive.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
This is painful, and not the right way to live.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
First things first. You need to heal your body.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Every day, go for a 30 minute jog or bike ride.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Stretch every morning, and every night. Full body.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
30 pushups every day, 100 jumping jacks every day.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
If you have a pull-up bar, 30 pull ups every day.
Daft says:
Can I do squats instead of jumping jacks?
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Do squats and jumping jacks.
Daft says:
I hate jumping jacks... so much
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Too bad.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Do em.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Next comes nutrition.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
5 meals a day.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
In the morning, 1 egg, 1 apple, two bannanas.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
three hours after breakfast, 2 apples, and some low fat granola bars.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Three hours after that, lunch. Chicken breast, with one cup of rice, and 1 cup of a veggie of your choosing.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Dont interupt.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Talk when i'm done.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Three hours after lunch, 1 apple, 20 nuts of any kind, and either some fish or a protein drink.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Three hours after that, dinner.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
1 peice of steak or chicken, 1 cup of rice, 1 cup of a veggie of your choosing.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
three hours after that, Eat 1 cup of a veggie of your choice, 1 fruit of your choice, and either some fish or a protein drink.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Wake up at 5, and go to sleep at 10. This is absolutely needed for you, because of your depression.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Dont think so much.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Instead, look at what’s around you, especially nature.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Do NOT think while looking around. Just see what is there.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Stop negative thinking about yourself.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
In your mind, paint yourself in a positive light.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
You are fit, your are strong, you are quick, you are handsome, whatever you want to be, you are.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Love your body. Pose in the mirror, even if you dont have muscle. Know your the best, and always getting better.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Never judge people.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
They simply are the way they are, and you are the way you are. No one is better, no one is worse.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Life is not only about emotion.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Don’t put too much importance into one, and don’t completely neglect them either.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Love is love, and it needs no thought.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
When you are in love, you care for a person, you enjoy being with them, and that is all.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
You do not need them, but it is nice.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Never be lazy.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Laziness is the open door to depression.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
To be happy, you must be strong in both body and mind.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Study hard. Work hard. Exercise hard.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
Be the best you can be, simply because you love it, and because you can.
Matthew {Animal man} says:
You may talk now.
Enjoy.
