well im depressed as well...i have had to see doctors bout it i was put on tablets and have had to move skools my friends have gone against me and are saying horrible things like "get a life" and stuff like that but cant say here..... all i do in a day is, wake up, go to skool, get home from skool, eat, come on pc for ages then go to bed like at 11pm (because my dad has a go at me) i have nothing to do because i have no friends (no really i have about 3) but i do go to a skool with 12people in it, i feel unhappy all the time, i was happy today which is good (last time i was happy was christmas) but this girl has really upset me and i just wish people would get on with me...i got builled alot at school and had to move quite a few times (bout 4-5) because i was unhappy...i hate school because theres lots of people there,but i really like doing the work im just upset all the time i have wanted to commit suicide....i need some one to talk to who isnt gonna be horrible to me i havent done much it the past year thats been fun....any one wanna talk sorry bout it being alot but its a start to how much i feel D just remember smile
ok... so now tell me, whats better. you either be your normal self and you dont smile... or you fake the smiles. im not talking about lpa, i think im asking about parents and crap.
I couldn't have said it better myself. [/b][/quote] depression is something that's out of control... out of ur own willingness... continuous, haunted, unmanageable... u'd feel like s**t that everything that's right to others seems wrong to u... i agree with J-Flex that feeling "disgust" over something for a little while is not a depression... (depress: when u feel like screaming but u realize u cant, but how much u want the pain to get out from ur body, u try to scream again but the disappointment just trapped inside ur body, blindly, all that's left is despair and when u barely overcome it, instead of seeking help, u keep nurturing it 'coz u lost faith in something or someone...) when i feel "overdosed" by the same situation, over and over again i'd rather call it 'numb' rather than depress... (though i'm ailing that bad...) sensitive yet emotional people tend to "depress" a lot... to us they're normal person but they are not to themselves... sometimes they might say ridiculous thing like hating themselves, hurting themselves and all the crazy things they'd involved into... sometimes picking on someone else is their skills that they find peace by manipulating it on others!!... they'd drag u with their hatred but this isn't necessarily true... just look at the examples; a depression facing by a friend whose parents died in a car accident... he's always in oblivion, he hardly changes his clothes, wearing almost the same shirt for at least a week until someone told him to change it... it's not that he wanted to be like that, but because he's being carried away by his emotions, that "silent killer" inside him, that sometimes he doesn't realize doing this kind of things... but to us, his friends, he's obviously is depress... i'm not good at giving advice... remember? i'm numb...
of course youre good at giving advice. so is everybody. i was thinking about what you said... and i have a good point to make. i dont want to sound rude. i just want to give you a tip. im not telling you what to do though. just think about it. if a person really is depressed... and their best friend, or just friend, keeps on saying they should just get on with their lives... well thats not exactly helping them, is it... but then again i dont know your friends. but i know sometimes all you want is to have someone who would just say "yeah, youre right, life is totally ####... i cant believe this happened to you... how could they do something like that" and so on. some people do want you to feel sorry for them. maybe thats all your friends want... i dont know. im brainstorming. tell me what you think. and this is a question to everybody... whats the difference between being, as thefoolindauk said, properly and not properly depressed? i dont get it. you either have depression, or you dont...
...i always telling others as well as myself to think positively especially towards handling problems but when i'm at it i dont think i can handle it well myself... and i tend to drag people into my problems which i think is not a very smart moves!!... but i try to avoid that really hard that sometimes i dont feel like connecting to others... the rejection and all, it's just too much... ...but at other time i just feel like kicking someone's a** for not giving me the chance for saying what's on my mind...i hate it when people says thing like "the problem is not big but i think ur just exaggerating..." like they're controlling u and what u do... i mean, WTF!! i'm like, "dont underestimate my feelings, man... i hurt and i feel like i can kill u right now!!" some people!! :wth:
What irks me is when people treat depression like it's a run of the mill emotion. Depression is a disease. You can be medicated like a disease. Just because someone has an off day, doesn't mean you're doomed to live hopeless forever.
yep i get your point cassies. but then again its stupid when people think somebody is faking a depression. thats just bulshit. so i guess it should be somewhere in the middle - like if somebody's sad for one day, doesnt mean they're depressed, but if somebody had been feeling down for some time, maybe they need someone who can talk to them. i have a point.
Today I left school early because I was in a really bad state of depression. I felt really on the verge to do something that I would've regreted. I was so sick and tired of feeling like this that I finally went to the doctors. I told my doctor about everything that has been on my mind and everything that has been bothering me. She did diagnose me with Depression (no surprise there). She also said I have low blood sugar. I don't eat enough nor do I sleep enough and that's why I have low blood sugar. I get dizzy a lot because of that. I got prescribed some medication for my depression. I will probably get it filled tomorrow and then start taking the pills. My doctor also recommended counseling but I don't really know if I should do that or not. I am not sure if that will help me at all. Anyone ever been to counseling? I feel like a weight has been lifted since I told everything to my doctor. I guess I should've done that a while ago. I just hope the pills that I will be taking will work. I can't stand being an emotional wreck anymore and hopefully those pills will make me feel better. I just thought I would share that. :chemist:
i'm sorry to hear u felt so bad... but i'm glad u went to the doctor. i go to a psychologist once/twice a week. it isn't that bad, alltho they still don't have a 'diagnose' or whatever (it already took 4 months, and that is suppose to be FAST). so it's just talking and more talking. but if u felt better talking to ur doctor, then why not seeing a couselor sometime. u can try right? it's not something you are forced to do. i hope everything will work out for you
i dont think i have depression but it seems that after every time im happy i just end up going into a state of complete apathy. its really bad, i just dont give a F### bout nething. this was really bad when i was in year 7 cause all my friends i'd had all the way through school started to hate me, they completely ignored me. i still dont know why. newayz so for that year i was mostly alone. it got better when i went to highschool cause although i had no people i knew going to that school i became friends with a girl who's really into the same stuff as me. it was realy good for me i think. but recently its getting worse again. i dont reveal my "real self" at school cause people would probably think i was crazy, the only person who knows me really is my best friend but dont even talk her about my feelings or lack of feeling cause i have always been a very antisocial and private person, i find it very hard to open up. i definately cant talk to my family bout it, theyd just think i was crazy or sumthin, like when recently we thought my grandpa had cancer and everyone was lookin at me wierd cause i didnt break down and cry or nething. i didnt know what i felt, i didnt really feel nething, i mean i cant do nething about it so... the one thing that does help is music, music helps me feel for things. esp lp songs.
i have been on anti-depressents before just stopped taking them, i went to a psychologist and it helped. you can tell them your worrys and problems and they talk to you about things. I would go and if you dont like it just say your uncomforatable... but i would go as it helped me get through alot...
can somebody help me? i kind of dont know what to ****ing do. well. i started taking anti-depressants without even knowing what i was taking... and now my "parents" force me to take them every morning and i just dont want to... so i dont know what to do. i have no point.
Hey Katies, there is a point to your post. I would suggest continuing the anti-depressants. Obviously the reason you're on it is because the doctor believes it could have a positive outcome. Give it shot. You should try out all your options before calling it quits. Be strong. /poses as a bodybuilder
u should try to keep takin them and just see how it turns out. but after a while if u think there not doing nething go talk to your doctor about it.
ok thanks dude. ill just keep on taking them... mmm... theres no point in taking them but anyway. my life is buls*it.
