How to deal with depression?

who enjoys spending 3 weeks 23 hours a day with a stranger in a vibrating 7x7 box with windows on 3 sides?? That's quite a job interview.

 

Take a pet on the road with you. I have a white rabbit at home and he thinks he's a puppy and acts like a puppy.

 

Is that cute^???? Hell yes

 

Maybe go to truck stop restaurants and go to the driver bar thing and sit with the other drivers with headsets and tell fish stories.

Really it’s change that snaps you out of it. It. For me it got to the point it was painful to get out of bed. Friends and family were worried, stopped eating regularly. It was very hard to do the last thing I thought I wanted was to make changes. But I did, I changed almost everything. It worked like a charm, bout a month later I was a different person. Went from a burned out half dead slug to a happy go-lucky.

It’s hard to make those changes and it might be beneficial to ask for some help from friends and family to support you in following through and sticking with it.

 

Anyone who doesn’t hate the driver training with another driver in his truck for 3+ weeks is bonkers. That’s not OTR yet. You are almost there. Don’t quit in the 11th hour.

 

Don't worry be happy I said happy not gay

 

A sing-a-long...that will cure depression. Or cause it if they suck....hello Karaoke looking at you...


Pets, get out of the truck, change of pace, laugh at silly posts of cats and other other things. for the TL;DR crowd to sum up the thread.

Sirscrapntruckalot - Therapy...Jack + Coke = No longer in need of therapy.

 

It's easy. If you are depressed than GET HELP!!!!! Most of the sociopaths, sadists, masochists and psychopaths on this and any online forum would tell you not to buy an automatic weapon and go to a public place. SMH! Get away from the problem and work on the solution.

What if he were to head towards the beltway? Would it still be an issue?
