depression usually comes for me once or twice a year...and most of the time i take medication for it. Need to even things out in that brain of mine.

My story goes...I had it for a year, from about 13-14 years old, it is a type called Dysthymia - long term-ish but not as intense. I gained weight and stuff, wasn't fun.
But as you all know, that weight is gone, and has been since then http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.gif I lost 11.5kgs, nothing better than feeling good.
Sometimes every now and then though I get small bouts that last for a couple of weeks. Been a long time since the last one.

IMO this phase is really difficult to handle, here one need good enough company or a strong partner who can handle you well.

I wish you would also be having good friend or partner to help you here.

Only one thing I like to say is life is colorful and try to be happy always.

Good luck http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

it's so odd.. like a heavy veil upon my face
I can actually feel the pressure

Winston Churchill suffered greatly from depression
and even coined it "the black dog"

Kind of like having a hangover

with me also pressure on the chest

Speaking of depression..I feel like it physically isn't possible for me to have more than one good day in a row. I was relatively okay yesterday and had a spectacular night and I have felt miserable and shitty all day today. It's kind of reaching this apex right now where I just want to go to bed and spend Spring Break there. It's retarded how hopeless my life can feel only a day after I felt like there were a million opportunities available to me.

Sigh. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif

it'll get better tomorrow... http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

ride that rollercoaster, honey!

I'm severely depressed
trying to pull myself out
but it isn't easy

I have too many family members that don't listen to me
and do stupid things
then expect me to clean up the mess when they fuck up

I can't walk away because I love them

so I will just keep enabling them and depress myself even further...
and maybe I'll do something stupider
and they can all worry about me for a change

I wish I could friggin get over this shit and get off meds. I aint fond of some of the side effects

I wonder if I ever will get a truly restful sleep and wake up refreshed??

I wish I could get back on the meds, Allen

I was less irritable and less hopeless..

IMO demand of this time is Medicines.

G!

i havent been diagnosed with depression but i do get depressed more often than id like...

i would never seek help for it tho...

Never say never

I felt that way and wish I had done something ages ago.

If you had a broken leg would you ignore it?

Why would you do that with your mental outlook??

Why can't you??

Side effects??

i wouldnt ignore a broken leg but when its come to things in my head a tend to suffer in silence...

Not a good idea

Those problems accumulate

i deal with it my own way... getting drunk with my best mate and crying it all out

You do realize that booze is a depressant?

I tried that route

It don't work

i talk to my best mate about why im depressed

and its working so far...
