I know how you feel, I was diagnossed with depression 2 years ago, right after an attempted suicide left me in the hospital. I'm doing a lot better now, so maybe I can offer you some advice. The first thing one needs to do is get properly medicated, if your not feeling any better talk to your doctor. Secondly get yourself a therapist, or find someone you can talk to about anything, and that you trust. If you talkabout something your going to feel better, and with a profesional you can probably take steps to correct whatever problems you have in your life. Lastly, I suggest you join a gym or something, working out makes all your problems go away, at least temporarly.
Hope you start feeling better. |
The exact same thing happened to me, and I still suffer from sevre depression. I suffer from social anxiety disorder so that makes things worse. Plus, living with an alcholic father and drug addicted mom (and dad) is too. I suggest you take Nadis advice and hope you feel better. |

Oh yea, once you get into decent shape(if your not already) sign up for either real boxing or bag boxing classes, sometimes there's no therapy in the world thats better than kicking the out of something regardless of who or what it is. |

hey man:) check out that 1st link that TranceDJ posted. That was by me and I am happy to say things are slowly getting better. I know what u mean by the listening to trance thing. Trance makes me feel great when I am listening and it stops depression, but it only lasts as long as you are listening. I reccomend u read that thread cuz there's a lot of useful advice in there.
If u need to talk please feel free to PM me and I will listen.. :) |

try pickin up a hobby or 2 just to keep yurself busy... maybe if u keep yur mind occupied with something interesting to u... u'll have less time to feel bad about everything
maybe like video games or reading or volunteering... i dunno, anything that'll take up time and make it seem worthwhile
hope u feel better |

I remember my suicide attempt was so stupid that I fell drunk before I could actually make my attempt :p It did make me feel better for a couple of days, but it just got worse after... I don't know... I don't want my parents to see my dead body or anything... and I'm affraid about that re-incarnation thing... I could come back even worse than now, you know? I'm sad, but I know my life could be a lot worse :(
And it doesn't help at all :sadgreen: |

| Yeah I feel for you. I know it must really suck. What I do when I feel down is I try to release my tension by pretending to be someone else. I know it sounds funny but it works for me. I usually pretend to be a movie character and act out a few scenes for that character. I found it was a good way to express myself and release a bit of tension. |

i havent read anyone elses posts so sorry if i am being reptitve...
i am sorry ur depressed dude...
i used to have really really BAD depression with anxiety attacks....i used to feel like i coudnt breath and everytime i ate i felt like i was going to choke..it was very very scary , even made me stop going out alot....
i even contimplated suicide a few times...
i was on medication , which can and usually does take several weeks to work well...i was on prozac, buspar, xanax and a few other drugs...
and after about 2 years of being on medication i stopped...i then began to relaize that my depression went away when i stopped thinking about it...MY personal depression went away when i kept myself occupied with things i love to do..but thats me.
Some people NEED medication, and there is NOTHING wqrong with that AT ALL...it is like any other disease...it jus attacks your mind...i find it crazy when people say that people with depression dont need medication and they can get over it and blah blah blah...depression is from a distorted level of brain chemicals..such as serotonin, norephidrine and ephidrine and a few others...these drugs help elevate your serotonin levels to normal ones...which inturn releives you of many depression symtoms...drugs alone can not alleviate depression...u also need people to talk to...whether its a doctor , friend or family..u NEED to talk it out with someone who u TRUST with your depression and soemone who will not judge you if u say some of the darkest and lowest feelings that u may have.
I still get depressed from time to time and know the cause of my depression, so i can control it...to a degree....its hard and takes lots of work..but it can be done...
and like i said it is a disease....so never be ashamed to get help.
One thing that i have also heard to help depression is LIGHT...like sunlight and lamps in your house...i am not sure if u have ever heard of when people get "The Winter Blues"?...well that is when people get depressed in the winter time, when the days are shorter and the sun goes down earlier and its dark at like 5pm...this is called "light deprevation" and can cause people ro become depressed....many people i know get the winter blues and are fine in the spring, summer and fall. So a light atmosphere also helps depression...never sit alone in the darl, which is what many like to do when they depresed...but NEVER do that.,..always sit in well lit areas and it will help you...trust me.
People who are depressed tend to hurt themselves more then help themselves...they tend to do things that will make their depression worse ---- like sit in the dark, listen to sad music, not talk about their feelings---i am not sure why they do but many do...its only when u realize that u cant do it alone, that u can overcome this disease and get better.
Depending on the reason for depression is also very important. But i suggest only telling people you trust, people who love you and will never judge you...some depression is just fleeting moments in your life..but other times it is very very debilitating and can be dangerous...
Depression is extremely scary to a depressed person...AND ONLY another person who has gone thru depression can really understan the way you feel...it is horrifying and tormenting....sometimes i felt like i was going to go crazy...but you will find your own personal ways to make it better....it will take time, and may need medication and therapy..depending on the degree...but it can be won...jus be patient and dotn ever be afraid to cry about it...i found that crying helped alot....
i really am sad that u have to experience this..i KNOW what it feels like...and all i can say is it does get better...i promise you...jus be strong......i wish you all the best. |
