I'm going through much of the same right now.
A rolling stone gathers no moss. Getting off my ass and doing things that are productive and fun is what keeps me going. Orbax has the right idea.
With that said, it's cold as outside and windy, and I'm stuck inside tonight :( |
no really its a case of getting motivated to do things, eve been though ome of that same but ive always found if you keep yur brain ocupried it teakes your brain off getting broed, always and keep ocupuired. |

well said. i wouldn't consider myself depressed, but i've definitely experienced that awful feeling a few times.
btw... <3 |
I have it permanently, esp in the last couple of months, it's almost non-stop due to a personal loss & other stuff. The problem is that doctors over here hand out pills so easily that so many people think they're depressed when they've only ever had 1 or 2 moments of feeling bad |

I don't know if my own is purely chemical though. A lot of it probably comes from the fact that I had my heart thoroughly broken in more ways than one by the same person. Besides the bitterness, part of what's left of my heart is still inexplicably attached to her. So there's some lonliness in there as well. Which is really odd, becuase I know that she's just a selfish, inconsiderate person who hasn't the slightest idea of how a loving relationship works.
Oh well. It's my own fault for giving my heart to a person like that. |

| your parents...theyre poisoning you. just KNOW that you didnt do anything worng. you just got all this . ITS NOT YOUR FAULT!! remember to tell your self this whenever you get that feeling that YOU are to blame somehow for whatever is going wrong at the moment. |

oh and like others have said....SEE some kind of counselor! trust me this will help....from the sounds of it you may be suffering from feelings of intense guilt, anxiety, and fear hence the blackouts and attacks you say you get. like i said, it is not your fault!! you didnt do anything to deserve this.
you need to be more selfish and start putting YOU first. STAND UP FOR YOURSELF...tell ppl who piss you off to go themselves. you have alot of pent up anger inside...try and get it out somehow, cuz if you dont itll just eat you up inside. and DO NOT isolate yourself from friends...they can help you thru these ty times more than you know! i hope this helps a little. and i hope you start feeling better soon. |

| I think mine's gone now. Probably because the of the workload, it's nearly the holidays and the weather isn't too bad. Lasted about a month, but it'll probably come back. |

Btw, there's also another option, which is like the no. 1 treatment in Germany which is St. John's Wort (herbal treatment)... but again, don't use this if you're on any antidepressants atm. Just an option in the future if applicable.

I'm all for natural remedies but I haven't heard the greatest things about St. john's Wort...it leads to high blood pressure in most people who take it and is only effective for a short period of time.
I would however still consider it an option before taking perscription anti-depressants. |

Keep away from prescribed anti-depressants, theyre addictive junk and unless youre in an immediate danger of hurting yourself or genuinely have a bi-polar condition, then get a second opinion off another doctor.
I was diagnosed in my late teens as being bipolar and no one seemed to just realise except myself later on in life that that basically, I was a normal person who just had a really crap run in my formative years for a lot of different reasons and none of them where my own fault.
Late teens and early 20's are really tough on a person normally but even more so these days where everyone expects you to be a world beater, a go getter and a super acheiver straight out of school. Then throw in a few setbacks and traumatic experiences and it soon really starts taking chunks out of young peoples self esteem.
I don't really have any magical cure for the blues or can tell you how to wake up in the morning and live with yourself because we're all different and hold ourselves to different standards and ambitions. I can tell you though, it gets easier with time and age so stick with it and it will just fade away like a bad memory in most cases. Sounds like you've got a close friend which will always help, but learn to stand on your own sooner than later and not rely on them as an emotional safety net for any anxiety you have.
I just ended up realising life is tough, you just have to be mentally harder than it and anyone else :) |

Get yourself checked out.
You might have bipolar depression. |
