Mildly depressed/downed/saddened

Hey boys and girls and other configuration of being. I'm really down at the moment. Just... Really down.

There was a bit of an altercation between myself and my parents that I loosely glossed over in my Away thread. In the process of said altercation I lost my headphones, my computer, and my phone until the end of April. Music is my life and every day I don't have it I get more and more upset.

If anyone has any ideas to help me out, really feel free to put them here. I marked this as an AMA originally because I desperately need some conversation and I've found that explaining my insanity to people really helps cheer me up, so even though this isn't one officially I'd encourage anyone to ask me anything. I'll answer it 100%.

For the record, I'm not really what I would call 'depressed'. I'm using that term in it's direct definition that is, I'm just really freakin upset and sad/pissed off at everything for little decernable reason. It's not going away either, which is equality annoying.

That's about it for me, I'm going to go back to paying attention in class. I'll check on this thread every couple of minutes. I hope you guys have some ideas for me because I certainly don't.

My priority at the moment is getting some help for my unshakable 'sadness/downedness/not-actually-depression-depression'. Obviously I'm not upset enough to need therapy or something crazy like that but some conversation would be great rather than being shut down for misusing the word depression. I'm glad to have avoided further offending you but this isn't a 'what is depression' thread (we've already had those).

edit: goodness I just flamed, sorry about that
just annoyed at the moment is all, life is being a jerk

 

a medical condition's symptoms and effects is what it is. You're really dragging this on. The thread I made here doesn't have anything to do with you, it's not in your power to turn my asking for help into some sort of "omg look at lightwielder not thinking about his words as much as I'd like" thread. Either supply the thread with some positivity or take the preaching into a rant thread. This isn't a discussion thread for depression. End of story.

edit: the simple fact of the matter is, depression is on a wide scale. Not all of those people out there that suffer from depression are suicidal. I've had to deal with several suicidal people, who are suffering from depression, and several who arent but still exhibit symptoms. The raw medical definition of depression is essentally a loss in pleasure from doing activities that brought it previously. Let me just google this and quote it: "A depressive disorder is not a passing blue mood but rather persistent feelings of sadness and worthlessness and a lack of desire to engage in formerly pleasurable activities. A complex mind/body illness, depression can be treated with drugs and/or therapy"
there is nothing here on sucide

 

your ideology for helping someone who is upset is giving them a sob story about how you've had it worse/that I dont have any reason for being upset?
I literally had no idea you were trying to help, it looked like you were trying to make me feel bad for not using words the way you'd like
very helpful I must say, ten out of ten

 

Yes

I should show off my meager drawing capabilities some time. I need some unbiased feedback anyways.

Well I do want to become an ER doctor, but that's years off
