I'd take a sledge hammer to it and beat it down like it has me.

I'd take all my frustration and anger on it & tell it what it's done to me & those around me. Then I'd light a match and burn it.

I would only wound it to the point of near death. Depression has almost totally destroyed my life, but I believe it has somehow made me a stronger person after fighting so much. Sometimes I like not having any feeling at all, it allows me to make clear, logical decisions without letting emotion influence my actions. Maybe its just the derealization I used to experience, but who knows. I guess I'm somewhat of an optimist, try to find the best out of the worst.

I'd leave it to rot alone and unheard for all eternity. Living is more cruel and painful than death.

I'd torture it until it wanted to die... And I wouldn't let it.

I'm going to be the oddball here.

I'd want to hurt it, but I'd end up crying in its arms. Because I both hate and love it, in some ways. Strange as that sounds. After so many years, it seems like it's all you know, you know?

Most likely I'd be so mad that all I'd do is cry. However, I would love to throw a heavy shoe at it and squash it like a spider.

I would actually thank it and hold it in my arms and coddle it. It sounds odd, but it has actually served a purpose and has protected me. It is not all bad, but then again I am more so talking about my SI.

This sounds a little weird, but my strongest feeling when thinking over your question: I'd kneel down and put my arms around it, hold it to me and comfort it.
If any thing had to totally embody my depression, I'd know how helpless it was.

If depression could be exorcised from me, and put in some separate form, I believe I'd see something overwhelmed with pain. If I were liberated from depression, I believe I could see it with compassion, because I believe I know what created it, and what it had to endure. I'd understand the negating thoughts, suicidal impulses, the punishing drive with a whip hand that overwhelmed me most of my life. It's my crippled shadow - I guess I see it more as tormented than tormentor. Inside me, it's killing me; but cast outside of me, I'd feel sorry for its pain.
Thanks for this!

Hatred wouldn't kill it. Determination maybe but not pure hatred. Hatred might feed it though. If I was gonna fight it I would need a different strategy.

I think i would blow it up with dynamite in one fell swoop and be done with it and never give it another thought.

The problem is I wouldn't believe I could destroy it. That it would come right back and invade me even after I did everything i could to destroy it. In that case I would embrace it and make friends with it.

Also, I would take depression...and make it die a slow, painful, agonizing, torturous death!! (Along with it's friends panic & anxiety)

I would love to take depression and:
1.) Pour honey all over depression, as I have it staked down in the ground near millions of ants
2.) Bury depression in the ground from the waist down...and daily...raise a push mower over it's head and slowly lower it...until gone!
3.) Place depression on a block of ice in a climate controlled room with a noose tight around it's neck.....raise and lower climate, allowing the ice to melt ever so S-L-O-W-L-Y!
4.) Take a knife and peel the first layer of skin off of depression, pouring rubbing alcohol on it as I go
5.) Douse depression with sulfuric acid!

I would choke it to death, the huge piece of **** that it is, ruining my life, but that would only happen after torturing it for a lone time, as it has tortured me.

I'm a bugger for not wanting to hurt anything (one of those weird people that stops others killing wasps.... traps them and lets them out into the open air)... so I don't know what I'd do with it if it was a physical entity... would probably want to help it :blink:
