Start a super intensive workout routine. Keep yourself in motion and your mind occupied. Come up with a set of tangible goals and start trying to accomplish them. Meet new people and/or hang out with familiar faces more. Be patient and know that in time it will all pass. Basically, pursue anything that deals with the problem in a non-destructive manner.

You could:
-Mediate, clear your mind of everything -go running/jogging, get some energy out you will feel a lot better -cook yourself some delicious food, make sure its from scratch -call up some friends, tell them how your feeling and see if they can help -have fun with one of your hobbies, or get a hobby. -call someone you havent talked to in a long time and start conversation -clean up your living space - think, make sure its constructive, dont try to put yourself back in a rut. -meet some new chicas
Shooting yourself isnt going to do anything. for all we know you just wont exist anymore, why not experience whats out there while you can?

Dude you wander into the relationship forum asking whether or not you should see this girl, everybody in there says no. 1 day later youre in the well-being forum talking about blowing your brains out over a girl? Youre either the worlds worst troll, or the worlds worst advice taker.
Either scenario involves you taking just a few minutes out of your day, to think. Just think...no building rockets to the moon, no brain surgery, no chemistry set needing your attention. Just a few minutes of thought. Try it out sometime.

What tends to be on your mind during this time?
Personally when I'm depressed it's always a kind of loss of hope for humanity. Seriously, in this world, if something isn't completely stupid, then it's intensely strange.

Sorry to hear that MisterM, but that's an example of proper depression. People seem to think depression is the way they feel when something bad happens to them, like when their kitty dies, or when they don't take advice from the shroomery and things go bad with a girl. That's not clinical depression that's called normal.

For me, as odd as it sounds...is depressing music. I probably drink more than I should and have an odd sleeping schedule as well. Combine that with a recent breakup... and Im grounded. I know itl change within the next few days though. What helps me, is taking better care of myself. Eat better. Less drinking. Dont sulk. Dont listen to depressing music. Get outside.
Better your life and surroundings, and in time youll feel better.

if your serious about the shooting part i have to say, over a girl? i know it's hard but i guarantee it you'll eventually find someone else who you'll care about just as much. force yourself to work out do deep breathing exercises, and watch some comedy, best things for depression.
also here's some interesting info on love

in other words, your literally going through withdrawals and it will all pass with time.

This is incredibly dangerous. Very, very dangerous mixtures.
I've recently come out of a difficult long-term relationship myself and she won't stop trying to make contact.
Music and exercise are your friends. Work out some of your negative feelings while working out your body. A healthier body will help foster a healthier mind. I'm sorry to hear that you are having such trouble.

When im depressed, which for the last half a year or so has been most days, I sleep in as long as physically possible and if I wake up I just sit there. I forget to eat. I stay away from pretty much all human contact, as being in others presence for too long seems to make me despair. And i just watch tv or something else very un productive thinking about all my negative qualities and why my life can't get better..
Doesn't help that everytime I come out of depression I usually get depressed again within at least a week for whatever reason. Happens pretty easily too since Im reminded all the time of the thing causing my depression, my father being terminally ill at home hooked up to breathing machines. But its not really that that depresses me, I've got used to it. Its usually that I feel I have nothing to say to him and Im not great at making conversation anyway, and with him not being able to talk back its hard for me. Anyone think serotonin increasing medicine would be good for me? I've been thinking of going to the doctor, but not sure what i would say.
Didn't say this was advice for what you should do, this actually just becomes a cycle that keeps you depressed forever. You should get out and do stuff that makes you happy and defiantly not shoot yourself. You'll be fine in a little bit.

The answer is pretty simple actually...
You need to get some Niacin (Vitamin B6) into your system.
2 hands full of RAW cashew nuts per day will give you the correct amount that is, as efficient as medium grade antidepressants from the pharmacy.
Of course the antidote for love is always more love, so meeting other chicks will usually make you feel better about that part.
The basic idea is to not feel pathetic about your situation...i am in a similar position right now, but while writing to you about these, already made me feel somewhat better.

B6 is something you have to be careful about, it's toxic in larger amounts.

This could definitely be true, but i don't think you can overdose with cashew nuts if eaten in moderation. Maybe you talk about capsule form?

I swear by this stuff. For me personally, it was more beneficial than Zoloft or any SSRI. I didn't think it would do anything at all because it was OTC, but literally days after I began taking it I noticed a difference.

To receive the full benefits of 5-htp you really wanna take it with carbidopa though. Otherwise the seretonin goes to your gut rather than your brain.

I have no idea how efficient 5-htp is, but be careful, there is a link between long-term use and left ventricular hypertrophy, most serotoninergic drugs do this, mdma, migraine-drugs...it's because they overstimulate a specific type of receptor that makes the left ventricle grow...ssri's haven't been linked to that...dunno why...I would really be pissed as fuck if they down-played it...
