I've come to a sudden realization today... Just this simple fact that I am depressed is causing me to hate myself more. Like some sort of sick chain reaction.
Logically thinking, my life could be a lot worse. I came from a great supportive family, have a small group of really good friends, and have the opportunity to go to college in Nashville. I have a lot I should be happy about, and yet its only the negative head-talk that makes it through throughout the entirety of the day.

Im not an expert in psychology but I truly believe that you are basing your happiness on your relationship status with your friend. It seems to me that the lack of having her be your gf is causing you to think negative things about yourself and fueling your depression. I personally think you'd start getting a lot healthier if you cut off contact with her and started mentally demeaning her by focusing on negative aspects of her personality (or make them up if they arent there). I know you don't want to do this, but I personally think it is the only way you will get healthy. And I think you will continue down your current path of depression until this issue is resolved.
It's like you said... You have a lot to be grateful for. Great friends, Great family, college opportunities, and even hobbies to keep you busy. All these things are great and will help you get better, but you're going to need to cut off that toxic relationship. Not toxic because she is doing anything wrong, but because it is hurting your mental state to let it continue as it is.
If the councilor is worth anything, they will probably tell you the same thing. They also might take alternative two which is get you on prozac or other alternative drugs. Then those drugs will artificially make you feel better about your situation without having to actually fix the source. I think this is a mistake, and it's going to have long lasting effects on your life because you will never learn to deal with your issues. However it's a very common solution in todays over-medicate world.
You don't need to respond to this message. I know We've gone back and forth on this same topic may times and I've provided nothing different here. I know your position and frankly dont care that you disagree with mine. I only typed this up once again in hopes that you give it more thought.
if thats what they suggest just start smoking pot. Its much more effective.
plus dude shit food tastes so much better when B-)
I think taking the antidepressants is better than taking a shotgun in his mouth. So if he isn't going to actually fix the source of his depression (cutting off contact with this girl), might as well take some pills which will make him feel happier about the situation he wont fix.

Nah pills always come with side effects. The only side effects for pot is music sounds better, food tastes better, TV gets funnier, etc.

No way man. Antidepressants can be a good thing, but only in certain cases where they know exactly what you should be taking based off your brain chemistry. Which basically no psychologists find out before dumping what ever prescription drug they are currently being paid to promote on their patients.

Im not advocating pills over pot. Just saying that's probably what his councilor will drop on him since he wont take the necessary steps to fix actual problem. Since he isnt in WA or CO, I doubt the adviser would recomend he take an illegal substance
What are your thoughts on the shotgun in mouth solution? Is that also something you wont do? Cause I think pills approach is better than shotgun approach.

seppuku > shotgun to the head
If doing Seppuku can I please recommend you do Seppuku with Frisbee instead? It's much more impressive and honorable.
