| Psychopath Registered: Apr. 01  | Okay, most board regulars have probably had their fill of depression threads. So, if you're one of them, please leave now instead of bitching me out, 'kay? Plain and simple, I've sunk into my fourth bout of serious depression (disruptive depression that lasts for more than two weeks straight) this year. Needless to say, I'm fucking sick of it. My friends have pretty much ditched me because I bring them down, my family thinks I'm on drugs, and people at work are telling me I'm usless. Well, okay, you know what, I am pretty annoying when I'm depressed; I'm certainly not bubbleing over with optimism, or pouring out love and affection and interest in my fellow man. I'm not giving people what they want, so, of course, I am usless. This is also the first time all year that I've thought, not for long, but thought, about killing myself. I have no intentions to do it; my family means something to me, my friends don't need shit like that, my God doesn't want me to just give up like that, and my boyfriend, who's stuck beside me all year, doesn't deserve that as a thank you. It's a selfish thing to do, so I won't, but the fact that I've even thought about it worries the shit outta me. So, I guess the reason I posted this is, I know a lotta board people have suffered and delt with their depression. If anyone has some insight, some ways of fighting this, know of any drugs that i should talk to my doctor about... ANYTHING constructive, please post a quick reply. I promise I'm not looking for sympathy. Depression is not something I'm proud of. I want out as soon as possible.   Walk it off, deek... | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jul. 01 | Dana? Just kidding. Seriously, though, it sounds like a good talk with a good doctor might be the best thing for you if you're noticing a cycle with your depression. Don't think that taking drugs for your depression makes you weak or an addict either. You have a problem and you need to seek help. Accepting that and seeing a good depression doc will help you get on the road to recovery. Sometimes, even God can't help you through the toughest times. Sometimes you've got to do it all on your own, regardless of what the "Footprints" poem hanging up in the living room would lead you to believe. Sometimes, and sorry if this is blasphemous to you, you've got to be your own God.  An equal opportunity pisser-offer. "I'll look for you in the 'NO FUCKING' section..." -- Stiffler | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | Kat...I am with mcbourbon on his advice (i can't believe i just said that!!). A good therapist is a great thingg. I know that mine helped me so much that now I don't even need him too much. I think that a good prescription to prozac helped me also, but a friend of mine is on something else, send me an IM and we can talk about it if you want. We missed you...

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | I was diagnosed with clinical depression at the age of 13. I have been through several shrinks, prozac, zoloft and many other fun pills. Soon enough it came to be that I had Bi-polar depression with anti-social tendencies and not clinical depression, after all. Believe me, it's a bitch to deal with. If these feelings last more than a month and you want to tell everyone in the world to go fuck themselves, talk to your doctor. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | Hi Kat, You sound "Clinically Depressed". Clinical depression is as common as having high blood pressure. You don't always need to go to a Shrink to resolve this, a General Practicioner can help, as well.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 00 | Katya-ann....Gonzo is right....2 weeks is nothing....try living with depression your entire life..sounds like you got it pretty easy. Talking to someone will help, so will drugs..If you have a chemical imbalance, drugs are the only thing that could help you......Get yourself checked out and read this Click here if you're Cookoo  can't call that justice when its just a stupid excuse to fight single out and attack the ones who got no defense you call that a new way of thinking i call it regression to ignorance | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jun. 01 | I'm surprised nobody's mentioned it yet, but have you tried St. John's Wort? I was at the end of my rope about 2 years ago, and I started taking this stuff. It's not meant to be taken on and off. You take it regularly like you would a vitamin. It sounds like you have a chemical imbalance, and while people often take a medication for a short while, eventually they stop and the symptoms resurface. If it works for you, plan on taking it permanently, not just until you feel better. It took a few weeks for me (that's just the way my body works), but I felt like a whole new person. I asked my doctor to prescribe something, and he told me that he could give me Prozac but to just try this stuff first. It's available over the counter. I'd still be taking it, but I stopped when I was prescribed BuSpar for my anxiety. Another note about the St. John's Wort: the makers of Prozac are spreading a lot of false rumors about it because their sales went down something like 48%, and they're panicking. But my doctor reads medical journals all weekend long (very dedicated guy, stays at the office until midnight every night), and says they've still found no proof of side effects. And if you need to talk to someone who's been there, E-Mail Me. It's really awful, but if you beat it you appreciate life on a whole new level.

| Psychopath Registered: Apr. 01 | dream and gonzo--- that's the thing, i wouldn't dream of posting this if all it was was two bloody weeks, then back to happy land. all my life, I HAVE been dealing with this. I can usually get by all right. But sometimes, like now, I get pulled so far into it, I can't get outta bed. I can't eat. Then I eat for hours. I can't get out of bed, but i can't sleep. I skip work and school. These things might seem small to you, but I am a fucking mess. I hate it. I hate myself for it. I feel like a damned waste of skin and space all because I can't be perky and happy and shallow like every body else on this godfersaken planet.... I'm not bragging about my depression, or whatever it is that's wrong with me. This isn't a proverbial cry for help. I just wondered if anyone had any ideas, any herbal/theraphy/alternative/home remidies that they have found to work in their lives. I don't have the money for a real therapist. My parents think the answer is to "get off your ass and live a little!" I don't even know what the fuck they mean by that... If I hear my mom say "this too shall pass" one more time, I'm gonna bury her under the porch. She's been saying that for years, and nothing has passed except time in which i could have been a productive member of society...Walk it off, deek... | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Without getting into my life, I just wanted to let you know that if you have health insurance, most cover visits to either a psychiatrist or a psychologist. They do not give you an unlimited amount of visits, but some are better than none. Also if you don't have insurance, you might want to go to a support group or something like that. Good luck with what you are going through, and be strong.... why do I say I'm fine when it's obvious I'm not? why's it so hard to tell you what I want? why can't you just read my mind? | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | quote: "Life is pain, highness. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something." Sorry, I watched The Princess Bride today, but the quote seemed appropriate. My point is - most happy, bubbly people that you see are 100% fake. Anyone acting so incredibly happy has probably just trained themselves to bottle their pain like no other. These are the type of people that explode into misery binges when no one else is around - but around everyone else they're perky as shit. I should know, my own mother is in that boat. Actually to find solace from the bullshit of everyday life, I've used music and the internet for the last 4 and a half years. Sick, sad, pathetic, sure.... perhaps.... but hey, they've gotten me through some of the worst bullshit I've ever had thrown at me. I'd put on some depressing Cure CD (their album "Disintegration" is WONDERFUL for depression) and/or get on the internet or AOL. In other words, when the real world deals me a shitty hand, I go to a fake one. A fake one that exists in my mind, and the minds of all the folks I've run across in my time on the internet - the entire board included in that crowd. As I said, it may be sick, may be pathetic..... call it what you want, but it actually has worked wonders for me when it comes to depression relief. You go from a world that hates you to a world where people are happy to see you. And those who aren't happy to see you are easy enough to ignore.  Me droogies: None. Syndra has graduated and will one day take on droogs of her own. Two positions available. Come and get one in the yarbles.... if you have any yarbles. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | Katya...I know exactly where you are coming from. My parents alwayd told me the same thing too...and sometimes I would just feel like a dumbass for being depressed and hate myself even more. St. John's Wort is definately worth trying but doesn't always work. I also found writing and drawing to be very therapeutic. Hey, just trying to help! If you wanna tak, please feel free to E-Mail Me. Nothing chessy about helping or anything. I just know exactly where you're coming from. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Nov. 00 | I went to a therapist a few weeks ago to find out why I'm so moody. People are always saying to me "Is it going to kill you to smile and be happy once in a while?" I seriously can't stand shiny, happy, peppy people (you know, cheerleader types). This therapist wanted me to go to a psychiatrist and get on anti-depressants (he told me this after one visit). The truth is that psych's and therapists are concerned with getting rid of the symptoms of depression instead of listening to you and trying to figure out what is causing the depression. Soon after, I talked with my chiropractor (who is also a good friend) and he told me to look into my diet and to commit myself to getting to bed earlier and getting into a regular routine. When I told him I was tired all the time he sent me to my regular doctor to have my iron levels, thyroid and cholestorol checked (my results come back Tues.). So I've pretty much resigned to the fact that I am fine---its the rest of the world that is screwed up.... ;) fp://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/ea29fad2/bc/Yahoo!+Photo+Album/O%26A+Cat2---1.jpg?bcJWNGqBVbXs4KJT | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | DJ, Not all psychiatrists and psychologists are like that, and obviously you went to the wrong one. It can take going to a few different therapists to find the right one, and not all problems can be solved with going to bed early and a change in your diet. I am glad that it worked for you, but it doesn't work for everybody. why do I say I'm fine when it's obvious I'm not? why's it so hard to tell you what I want? why can't you just read my mind? | ||||
