I have been feeling very depressed for a long time now. Iam not going to go through the reasons why. I don't even feel like writing this now Iam so depressed. It's a really horrible feeling I can't describe. It makes you have headaches, you don't want to talk and it makes you very tierd and empty. Iam going to see my doctor about it as soon as I can, he'll probably perscribe me some anti-depressents, but I've heard they only work on some people and they can take up to 6 months Iam looking for any advice anyone could give, and It would be helpful if anyones could tell me their similar experiences

Thanx.

While I haven't ever been "depressed", I have gone through stages where I feel like doing nothing, always stressed out, worried about things, and not wanting to interact with people. It's usually because of people or happenings in my life that cause my silence with the world.(my personality as well)
What have you been going through? Even more,(I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but...) if you do E, how long has it been since you dropped?

I'd rather not disclose it publicly. But I can assure u it's nothing to do with E to be honest it's lots of things I can't escape from, from the moment I wake up right throught the day till I go back to bed. I can't escape from it. Sorry I'm not being more pacific, but I really don't want to disclose it.

I can´t come up with any good advice, but I can relate too the

horrible felling you describing.

I think you should talk to someone, for example a close friend of yours..

I think it`s important to not spend too much time alone, because when

you are alone all this feelings can make you go nuts.

Keep your hed up, and be cool, even if it`s not that easy right now

you will be bether..

Solong..

Like Lonne says, keep your head up...just remember, THIS TOO WILL PASS!!
And for your indiscretion of your situation, I perfetcly understand...no need to apologize. If anything, I should for coming out that blunt...
But yeah, I understand that waking up and going to bed thing too...I had a period where I just didn't wanna wake up anymore...scary huh? Each sunrise I had less reason to wake up.
I guess I got lucky though, because things started to come out better for me on their own. I'm still not 100% bounced back yet because I've got 2 issues in my life that are on my mind constantly(and this passive guilt that I will never be able to get over... a permanent scar), but I keep reminding myself that only I am able to fix my situation, and other's, while they may be able to HELP, that's all they can do. It's upto you man. Step up!
PM me if ya feel like talking.

get a girlfriend and have sex, love her. Its not easy but it's guranteed to work. (unless your gay)

I know what u mean dj_cuba. It obviously feels very bad and u just want to get out of that feeling. Dont u also feel very anxious constantly? yup I had that depression feeling like a week ago and didnt know why i was getting em, until after i felt better. The reason waz I had something that waz bothering me, but didnt know clearly what it was. but after i took care of the problem that was bothering me, I was back to feeling good and myself.

If u got any good friends go talk 2 em. call em up or somthing, i bet ull feel soo much betta. I strongly think its ur social personality, if if im not mistaken

dj_cuba check your pm box

I can totally relate to ya. I use to suffer from depression big time, it seems to run in my family. I missed 3/4 a year of high school because I had migraines so bad when I woke up that I just couldnt move. I sat in my room all the time and didnt talk to anyone. I had not a care in the world. My parents decided to send me to a doctor and he put me on the anti-depressant Zoloft. The medication did the trick. People said they saw a huge change in my mood and all that stuff, but I hated not having control of myself. My moods weren't determined by me, they were determined by the Zoloft. I couldnt stand that so I did something that obviously doesnt work for everyone. I am a big believer in mind over matter. You would be surprised how much it really works. So eventually I conquered my depression although I go through small periods (4-7 days) where I regress back a bit and get kinda down. This solution might not work for you though. Also find a neutral party to speak to. I could never speak with friends and family, I always had to talk to someone I knew online or the doctor himself. Anyway good luck, you will push through it, and if ya need a neutral party to talk to send me a pm or contact me on AIM and I will listen.

Heres a good one. Bring a a good friend along to the gym and work out. Do maybe an hour of cardio and half an hour of weights, doesnt matter. After you can get some food and watch a funny movie. Even if you dont feel like it try to smile once in a while. Remember smiling doesnt hurt, and you have nothing to lose.

Working out and going to the gym gets some brain drugs flowing, im not sure whether its dopamine or seratonin, but exercising is good for you!

Its always fun to be around your very best friend or friends because usually they can understand you.

If you don't want to get the anti-depresants (because some can cause side effects) do the stuff above i mentioned. It should help.

Remember to have a positive outlook on life! good luck
