Hey y'all, I'm an Aquarius sun, Virgo moon, and Scorpio rising. I'm 22 and really fucking depressed. It's like a phase...it comes and goes. For example, last week I was at 6 flags with friends having a great time and this week, I've been at home drinking beer all by myself and plotting my own suicide, metaphorically. I used to think depression's a myth or for the week, but honestly....it sucks.



As an Aquarius, I'm not used to criticism, even if it's true or not. I heard a couple of idiots that I thought were my friends saying sh*t behind my back and it struck me how people are totally different in front of you (they unmask their true personality in your absence). Now, I cut off from society and stay in my room listening to sad songs and wishing everything went my way. Maybe it's my Scorpio rising? I don't even know. I've tried using drugs (drugs as in mj and coke) but it only makes it worse. I feel so empty inside most of the time and it's like, there's this dark cloud hovering over me. I am a good person y'all. This isn't fair at all. I used to be jovial and happy and playful and exciting. Now it's like, the candlelight inside me just went off, and now it's just darkness.I used to have a lot of friends and guess how many I have now? Zero! Zilch! Cero! I've tried going to church but the more I go, the less I believe in this "Jesus" thing (no offense to y'all Christians)

I need advice y'all. Not the "work-out more often" or "do something you enjoy" advice because I consider myself a fit individual (I go to the gym every day except Sundays; apparently it's therapeutic). Have y'all ever dealt with depression before? If so, what was your experience like? How did it go away? Need serious advice, no jokes or mockery, please.

Depression is a serious thing. You feel your trust in people is broken. This makes things worse, because you cannot seek external help from your friends. You pushed away all your friends, you have no one to talk to, even though you crave communication.

I pulled myself out of depression by myself only, but I let the time to do its work while being determined to change my mindset, so I studied a lot of psychology to understand what are the mechanisms of depression. I am a Libra woman.

The bad news is that my SO (an Aqua male) has been going through depression for years. He is a loner, has no real friends, doesn't open up to anyone. Somehow I managed to gain his trust and we are trying to work through his issues together. He started to wish going out, so we are slowly socializing more with other people or simply going out to movies, a walk etc.

No matter what, alcohol and drugs only mask the real internal problem, make you numb for a while, but actually amplify the emptiness. You should stay away from them and from anything that feeds those sensations (sad music etc). Try to make an effort and to pull yourself out of the house more. Not necessarily to meet up, but to have some fresh air. Find what relaxes you in a positive way. Talk to someone. A psychologist is even better. He won't judge you and he is not a friend of yours, but he can listen to you.

Not an Aqua but I feel that I went through some form of depression when I broke up with my aqua ex.

From my understanding of Aquarius in general, you guys have a tendency to shut off your emotions. This is just an opinion but I think that may cause you guys some more confusion.

I was heavily drinking and smoking after my break up, questioning anything and everything, and trying to find solutions to scenarios that existed in my head because I was looking for MY answers.

What worked for me was to accept that I was depressed and let my emotions out. I did this in my own comfort, I didn't turn to anyone for help. I found that letting them out in a positive manner without alcohol really helped. Once those emotions subsided I made a list of what my life was like before my break up, and before my ex was involved and I compared it to my life then.

I made a bucket list everyweek of things I would do and I started with the simple basic stuff, like not drinking, making my own food, watching TV (I chose comedies). I started off with simple things that didn't require much thinking. I slowly moved on to other things on my list and build my confidence slowly.

In 6 months I was back to normal and went to India to trek in the Himalayas and to visit a Sikh temple situation 150000 ft above sea level.

The point I am making is... accept the depression, figure out whats causing it, put plans in place, take baby steps and slowly come out of it.

I am a Leo btw and Good luck!!

Why you focus on them ? fu-ck them. Why not just focus on your parent ? or brother/sister o you have any ? is your parent brither/sister bad to you too ?

Some Aquarius males develop avoidant attachment behavior exactly due to their peculiar way of thinking. They don't feel understood, their parents try to correct them and to make them behave "normally", conflicts and rejection arise and the Aquas rebel and get distant. The root of the problem is the interaction with the primary relatives - parents and sisters, since childhood. I was estranged from my parents too.

If you wish, is like the interaction between cats and dogs 🙂
