I lost my dad a year ago. Losing someone is always hard but one thing that I've done to get me through is going through with my promise that I would do good in college and not ruin my life because of what happened to him. That promise has carried me through all the hard times that I've had, and it is hard, but you'll get through it. I don't want to sound like a broken record, but all of the advice that people have given so far is good to follow. Being with people you love, focusing on good times, and remembering your mother for how great she was is all great advice. Also make sure you have people you can comfortably talk to if it feels unbearable to you. My condolences. If you need someone to talk to you can add me on steam, though I'm not on all that often.

cool guy, super nice when I've played with him too. Hits shots. Would do well as scout in IM, haven't seen as much of his demo.

Cool dude. Definitely has great dm as demo. Haven't seen a ton of his scout but this dude won't let you down. Good luck dude. Dude

Cool guy from the times I've talked to him/played against him. Best of luck man!

What did you guys talk about on saturday/sunday? Just find some kind of interest you two have in common to talk to her about.If you really can't think of anything go with just a "hey, I had fun on saturday/sunday, we should do it again sometime."

I actually went through major depression this year and am still going through it for the same reason as Fog. The best advice I can give you is to tell anyone that is close to you and will listen whether it be friends, family, significant others etc. and just rant about things to them. Find some sort of outlet besides tf2 for your feelings. When you tell other people it brings your feelings to the surface, which DOES feel like shit, but you feel a hell of a lot better after you get everything out.

I don't know what is going on in your life right now, but I can tell you that there will be good days and bad days. Some days you will feel on top of the world and others you'll feel like just going into your own corner and hiding. My advice would be to surround yourself with people you love, even in your times where you don't feel like doing it. Also, if you aren't already see a therapist. It may seem like it doesn't help, but sometimes a non-judgmental third party listener can help a lot.

One thing that I did to help me out when I was the most depressed was just to remember a promise that I made to my father before his last couple weeks, that his death would not impact my going to school and his response that no matter what happens he would always be with me regardless. I know this does not necessarily apply to your situation, but I suggest making a promise to your parents/closest person in your life. Something that will help you focus on why you need to go out and live your life and be healthy.

I don't know if any of this will help but I do hope that everything will be ok and that you will defeat your depression. I've been there and still am, so I understand how bad of a state it is. If you ever feel like ranting to someone please feel free to add me. I'm not on very often but I would be more than happy to listen, even if you just feel like venting. This goes for anyone in the thread who is dealing with it currently.

Sorry for bad quality, phone sucks.

Cool dudes, rang for them and they were chill. Find them some good players!

Great guy, awesome attitude, and dedicated to the game. From what I've seen has a good grasp of mechanics and gamesense. Get him a team!

Fun guy, good dm, nice to pug with. Best of luck man!

Jopper is awesome, amazing personality and a strong dedication to the game. Good medic too from when I have played with him, especially considering he has 200+ ping. He's great to have in mumble and is definitely worth a look from the teams in open. Good luck friend!

Good player, fun guy, and likes good music. Get him a team!

All that needs to be said is <|8O)

Awesome guy to pug with, funny too. Good luck dude!

Good players. Ques and Ben are total nerds/tryhards but I love them. Ben also has a severe ice cream addiction. Peyote/Hellbent/Okie are chill, but haven't talked too much to them. Can hold their own in Main, would do amazing in IM. Good luck dudes.
