help with depression ruining my game

You need to learn to enjoy your own company. If you're not having fun, the people around you won't be having fun. If you're in a terrible mood and you don't feel like going out, just don't go out. Don't force yourself to pretend to be having fun when you're really not. Do what makes you happy, not what everybody else says will make you happy. Pickup is secondary to having fun.

If you always feel like you have to do this that and the other thing, that sense of not having control over your life can really bring you down. Saying "No" can be very liberating. Once you learn to set boundries and take control of your life, your overall mood can drastically improve.

I would say this has been helping me a ton with the exact same thing.. Just try the whole voice thing. It really is helping me a ton.

Seek professional help. If it's clinical depression it is beyond the scope of seddit.

I've dealt with depression in the past. I'm not gonna say I have it completely licked, but I've made a lot of progress. A few things to keep in mind:

Success with women will not cure depression. Its been said thousands of times on here and it bears repeating: a successful dating life follows a successful life, not the other way around.
Depression is insidious. When I was at the depths of my depression, my mind literally turned every positive into a negative. My drive to do anything disappeared and I became a lump of goo in front of a LCD screen wasting away my life on reddit. What really sucks about it is you might have the desire to go out and do something fun, but that depressive mood will actively warp your attitude so that you don't want to do anything fun. In other words, the actions in my life that feed depression became addictive. I had to start thinking counter-intuitively just to get myself out of the house.
You have the tools needed to get yourself out of it, but you might need help. There's nothing wrong with that! In my case, I had to see a psychologist for help. There is no shame in it, and you should seek it without delay.

Anyway, you can PM me if you would like more info. Good luck and stay safe!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5b4MxwRlcY I went through a stage of depression and took meds too and remembering this speech help me push away the depressing thoughts.

The words of speech can easily be replaced to fit your needs. I usually create a different beginning though and still think it in the general's voice since its filled with so much conviction.

Roman! Countrymen today is a day for brave deeds! Today is a proud day to be strong, brilliant, and confident. Suffice to say I could spend all day describing how great it is to be (insert name here) but it would be rude to keep my opposition waiting for their fate.

Professional help, talk to a therapist. Perhaps do some meditation before leave your house so you can empty your mind from running wild with depressing thoughts.

If you're depressed, the last thing you should be worried about is your game, my friend.
