I'm making A's and B's I'm in the top 20% of my class and I do drugs all the time. Hell, I even get high at school.
And yes, I DO go to Enloe for all you non-believers.
It can happen.

AHAHAHA TOP 20%

Like that should impress us or something.

When I read "drugs," I first thought about anti-depressants and other clinical medications.

Happiness is something you should probably be able to find on your own or with the help of friends or family.

If, however, you've been depressed for quite a while and it's not just the result of something recent (death in the past few months, lots of stress at school or work or wahtever), then seeking a specialist's opinion on what course of action to take would be the first thing I'd do.

^insecure?

I'm not saying you're an awful person, or anything, I'm just saying don't say "top 20%" like it's something impressive, because it's not. And frankly, if your grades aren't good enough to be top 20% or better, then they're REALLY unimpressive.

It's not my opinion, it's just fact.

Whoa whoa whoa. I just said I was top 20% to prove that drugs don't exactly make you fail all of your classes. I consider myself an average, hard-working student that just happens to do drugs. Haha you guys take it easy. I was not bragging in any sense of the word, and I wasn't expecting you to be impressed.

Saying anything is not impressive is automatically an opinion not a fact.

grades don't matte in the grand scheme just live your life and don't worry about the rest. People who clutch to good grades as a measure of personal value have some deep self esteem issues. But back to the original post. Ask yourself what it is that makes you sad. Actually contemplate yourself and realize that half of life is luck.

I'm not top 20%. and my grades arent REALLY unimpressive, theyre pretty good actually.

you kind of need straight-A's or pretty damn close to go to good colleges...

unless your going to go to an absolutely great college like Yale Harvard Oxford etc then it really doesn't matte which college you went to once you get out.

^ even if you go to those schools, nobody cares once you get your first job. what matters are the degrees and how you use your skills.

^ yea I know I just meant that then you can brag about it and act snobbish towards everyone else Really thats the only reason.

I wish I knew, OP. Right now, I want to say that nothing cures depression. Not one fucking thing.

why do you say that SwalesT'shooth? I'm sure you know at least someone who has gotten over depression

@ the last anonymous before me: People generally don't talk about it much when they get in a deep rut. Sorry, it just sounds like you've never been depressed before.

@ the OP: I wish I could tell you something helpful. There's really no cure-all for depression. For me, the cure is a series of battles of mind over matter.

From what I understand, anti-depressants work for some people in some cases. Personally, I don't relish the concept of drugs altering my state of mind.

As far as a personal cure goes: Just keep pushing through life, and don't close your eyes to opportunities to get back out of the hole. I'm not telling you to "get over it," just to hang in there; find a good friend to talk with if things get too heavy.
