Depression
Who is feeling, say... Not good, negative or even depressed? And are you reading Manga to escape that feeling, or to find your answer? No? What helps you best to recover? Yes? Which ones helped/do you expect to help (genres, storyline or even specific manga/Anime)?
Hmmm,I don't know if it's not feeling good but most days I just feel flat. Like the air in my tire is completely gone. It's kinda suffocating with air still inside of you.
Yes, I read to escape or maybe to heal. Recovery is not really a thing that is attainable for me. I only must survive long enough for life to mean something more than it actuall...... reply
I know it’s harder to feel things when you’re like that, but you just have to keep going. That feeling passes. For me, it can take weeks or months but eventually it’ll go away.
I like to distract myself the best I can in my spare time. Fanfiction, anime, books, manga. Usually shoujo or yaoi, occasionally yuri. Any of that cute shit’ll do. ...... reply
Escaping doesn't help.. You have to deal with it. I been there, felt it, the feeling of emptiness. I remember that day, I bought a plane ticket to go backpacking alone. It help me a lot.i don't know if it'll help you. But going on a trip alone might help. reply
Well lot of people say "you have to try to overcome it" but to me, is ok to "not be ok", that is life, I always say that no matter how hard or miserable my life is as long as I get to feel happy one hour per day, or even just 5 minutes per day I will be able to live every day of my life being happy, not the whole day but it still count as every day...... reply

Actually Ive been diagnosed having mental illness since 2 years ago. And I hate the fact that I am still alive everyday. Escape? Yes sometimes its feel good when u absorbed to something and forget that ur body is still in the real world. But sometimes it doesnt work too so I am kind of escaping from those feeling in extreme way but dont ask for it....... reply
i think no need to explain that dark feeling can be cleared only by another human being. it's only recipe for recover the real problem of these feelings - loneliness. it's difficult to find 'your' person, but just believe - somewhere he/she is and wants find you as well. keep strong! reply
More often than I'd like, especially in the last couple of years, I've felt apathetic and indifferent towards many things happening in my real life. Sometimes, that apathy delves into depression. But reading has become my Go-To when I need something to validate that I'm normal and can still feel empathy.
Usually when I'm not feeling so good, looki...... 1 reply
My depression has been going on for 4 years and I’ve also had a constant cycle of suicidal thoughts and still do. I still need to get help but I can’t as long as I’m with my family. They don’t understand me. So I have wait until I’m older to get help. Anime and manga were my escape from reality. In the meanwhile I’m not really recoverin...... 1 reply
I never formally tested for depression but from some online quizzes they said I got mild one. I used to read manga to kind of 'cured' it or you can say to distract myself when I was lonely anad got nothing to do, but lately I got too picky and hard to find a good manga.
