Anyone here suffer from depression?
I've had it for over a year, i have been on 5 different types of anti-depressants, been to councilling and starting to see a psychologist. I have just started to self harm aswell which im not proud of...:(
Just needed to tell someone i guess... |
What are you despressed about?
These problems are common and the best way to start to get over it is to get a diary and write down how you feel. If you currently feel unhappy 7 days out of 7, next week aim to feel good at least half of one day. Thats depressed 6.5 days out of 7, its a start. During your half day of happiness do the stuff you love, be around people that treat you with respect or make an effort to make new friends, and work hard to think about positive things.
Next week try being happy 1 day out of 7. Keep a track of your goals and success, and what things you did when you were on happy time.
Its takes a while to realise thats its just your state of mind that needs to change to make you happy, not the or people around you.
And stop harming yourself, this is more reflect of an immature child searching for attention, not a decent person trying to get better. |

| My only advice is to not waste money on drugs or therapists. Being depressed is bad enough: being taken advantage of because of it is worse. |

I wouldnt say I suffer from depression, but over the last 4 or 5 years, Ive had EXTREME highs and extreme lows. Right now, Im feeling extremely low, so I decided to seek out this thread. It would appear that everything should be going fine, Im about to receive my undergrad degree, Ive got a steady job with nice people, I dont owe scads of money...everything seems good. But I feel like Im struggling in school...even though Im pulling average grades, the course work (20 hours/4 classes) feels like it is crushing me. On top of that, work is nice, but Im not sure if it's paying me enough. I always seem to be wanting money. Once I pay for things I need, I have little to save and even less to spend on things I want. This means I have been really lonely, because i dont have the money to go out and enjoy life the way my friends seem to do. On top of that, outside of the few friends I have at work, I dont really seem to have much else. I feel like I need some kind of affirmed support from someone, but more and more I feel like Im totally on my own...even at my happiest times. It seems like everyone else has some kind of best friend, or close friends that I havent had in a long time. I spend all my time at work, at school, or at home doing homework and surfing TA. Maybe it is the atmosphere or climate of my locale, but these erratic mood swings are taking their toll on me every day. Im not like, oh god, I want to kill mtself, but more and more I begin to question my existence and purpose. While I know I can only provide these things to myself, it becomes hard to step back and evaluate ones life when youre constantly working hard, just to survive. Things are hard right now.
I dont really expect anytone read this post, but maybe sometime when things are better, Ill come back and laugh at this....I hope so anyways... |

speaking of this sorta stuff i can sympathise: after this weekend's festivities i have been left with a rather fragile mind and a very constant lingering paranoia - theres a battle raging in my mind however i've seen the way one of my friends has handled the same thing and rather than panicking i have a rather extensive contingency plan for dealing with it. here is a copy of what has been written so far
| quote: | Rule #1: win.
Rule #2: if you don't win, read rule #1
Rule #3: i'm sorry, but there is no rule #3, it's reference to shoelaces was just plain silly.
Rule #4: go back to rule #1 again.

foolproof dont ya reckon? |

I have never taken any drug that wasnt perscibed to me. Seriously guys i have tried everything i can do to sort me out.
Lira - I've tried everything you have mentioned, even buddhism if you remember out chat about it a month or two ago.
Slylee - I've already been to a therapist...for 6 months, it didnt work...the problem with me is that everyones priority is more important than mine, and i mean everyones! Including Orbax! So while the therapist would be asking how i felt, id be more conserned about how she felt.
I was the kid that everyone who had problems came to see...so i had everyones problems dumped on me when i didnt get a chance to vent.
I worry about everything...my philosiphy used to be "Always think the worst of a situation, then you cannot be dissapointed!".
Problem is i think the worst of every situation now. I worry so much infact that i begin to hyper-ventillate then i black out...then i have to take a Vallium to calm myself down to stop it happening again.
I go out often and sometimes stay in my room...because i dont want my parents to see how bad i've become. I feel like a failure to them, a dissapointment...i dont want them to see me upset so that i dont worry them. The same happens with my gf too sometimes.
This is the problem...being to nice and caring has really ed me over :( .
I just dont know what to do anymore guys...im at the end of the road! |
perhaps you're dealing with panic disorders?
my mom had that and it's very hard on your life she's much better now |

^Yes, everyone feels slight symptoms of depression sometimes, but more unfortunate ones have to suffer it for long amounts of time.
I've been feeling a bit low over the last few weeks - not constantly, but a lot more than I'd like.
I don't even understand why, nothing major's happened to me lately to depress me, my lifestyle or circumstances hasn't changed... ah well.
Last night I felt pretty bad for a while, I had nothing to do, ended up just sitting in my room listening to music for a while, it got to the point where I found a sharpener in my room and was gonna run downstairs, find a screwdriver, take out the blade and stick the ****** in my arm because I knew that would make me feel better, at least temporarily (i've not done that with any sharp objects, only blunt ones that don't make you bleed but felt good nonetheless) but then I just thought "Simon, snap out of it, just go and have a shower, get something to eat", I felt a bit better but when I was in bed at night I started to think "I've been feeling like this gradually more often over the last few weeks, what if it just keeps getting worse and I become depressed?", and that worried me, I knew I wasn't my usual happy, optimistic self. Sometimes I even started to miss.... someone, that I shouldn't be missing but sometimes I can't help it.
Glad to say that overall I've felt much better today, but I'm still worried that feeling at the pit of my stomach, the bad thoughs, might come back again soon... Felt a twinge of it when I was walking home this afternoon but I just stuck on my MD player headphones, listened to Strange World, remembered life's good after all, and since then I've been ok, I'm really hoping it stays that way for a nice long time, I mean there's not even any reason for it.
Yeah I thought at first that it might be to do with (as I mentioned in the Highschool thread) the fact that I feel that I'm missing out on a lot of experiences, but I've felt that way for a while and it's never really got to me, so I don't know if it's that... I just don't understand it.
Well,, best of luck to anyone who is actually depressed... |
