Ive been a total dick to all my friends, who coincidentally are having serious problems right now, and i dont know

im not seriously considering suicide or anything, but this crap has just been floating in the back of my head, ruining everything for me

wtf should i do? (medication might be an option, but i dont want to if i dont have to)

anyone have any good ways to deal with stress or seasonal/temporary depression?

all ive found is alcohol and that really hasnt helped much.... its only temporary.. and seems to make things worse

all ive really found is spending time with people i love, sitting around a fire (i love fires for some reason) or listening to music.....

I know exactly how you feel man, I sometimes go through the exact same feelings you described.
It hasn't hit me in a while, but that's because I've kept my mind busy with other shit.

My dad used to get it when he was younger too, and he told me he had it from about ages 18 - 25, and that it came and went over those years.

The best thing I can tell you to do is, not to drink liquor that does make it worse, and to keep your mind busy.

It'll be over soon man - I had it for like 3 months straight at one point, but it seems to have gone for good.

Talk to people that will understand is another good thing to do.
