does anyone here suffer from it or know someone who does? And have you/they recoverd from it?
 
yeah it does... i 'm not the same as you... i don't really know what i am.... but it really does suck! this fall it's just been worse and worse(i think it all started when i was 11... i just figuered out what it really was not to long ago, and my aunt she is exactrly the same... )

do you get some treatment for it? how long have you had it?
 
I'm pretty sure I'm depressed. I'm like never really interested in doing anything, and most of the time I just want to be alone. My life really seems to be sucking in the past 2 years.
 
I've had it since i was like 12 right before teen years i'm supposed to take meds for it cause i've harmed myself over it but i dont i've been doing ok with myself lately and haven't been toooo depressed but i'm always alittle depressed its strange
 
i've read some about depresion? i think there shuld be aist of symtombs somewhere on the net.. and i think that in most cases you"Need" to have like 5 symptoms... or something like that!

i have been deprssed since i was atleat 11.. now i'm 20. it's been pretty good for a year or so..(that will say; more of a periodic thing) now it's so cronic... i feel it all of the time!

it's really bad...

wow.. i'm glad that you haven't hur yourself in a while!!!

i've been totaly down the last few months, and on the side of that i have a lot of school work exams and work... it can get pretty though!

does any of you have probs getting out of bed or falling asleep?

i do.. and for 3weeks now i've had nightmears almost every night.. or maybe it's a 4weeks when i think about it, i'm lways tired!
 
i mean i've had it for like 3-4 years so i mean its not that long but yeah its been bad alot th dr. said it might not be as bad in my 30's he said if i am lucky but he said if i start to get to depressed i need meds lol
 
I've been depressed since 4th grade. This past spring I was in the hospital for being suicidal and for cutting, the only way I got out was lying to the doctors. I'm still not over it. I feel nothing now, just numb. I'd take feeling depressed then numb any day.
 
I hope you get lucky!!

have you ever gone to thearapy?(the reason i'm asking is that i wonder if it works! i've got a hard time imagin that it works)

this holyday has been so up and down! alot of bad memories being in my hometown, and i got some old well know feelings back!! and i really REALLY remembered why i HAtED that town when i was a teen, and a kid!


MISS_WORLD: i get that some times, when i feel too much i totaly cut of and i feel NOTHING! it's sorta scary!
 
Im glad im not the only one, when your depressed you dont want to get out of bed whats the point when you've got nothing to get up for, i can never get to sleep and when i do i cant/dont want to wake up. ive suffered from manic depression for about 18 years now ive been in and out of hospitals most of my life because of overdoses (its not nice having your stomach pumped) and cutting myself, ive been to psychiatrists etc but they never helped i tried every antidepressant there was but they didnt help either...
Im now 25 and for the last 2 years ive been taking a new antidepressant and it did really help but then about six months ago i met a guy who ended up beating me up and threatend me that if i ever left him he would kill me, he spent what money i did have, wrecked my car and left scars all over my face i finally broke up with him a month ago and for the last month i had basically given up on life as he left me with nothing i had no money, no car and no confidence.
But for the last two weeks my antidepressants have started working again and without sounding corny being on the buffy boards has helped a lot, talking to different people who are all so nice and have different backgrounds and experiences 🙂 im still struggling to even get out of bed but i feel a bit more positive about things and dont feel suicidal anymore 🙂
Anyways sorry to be rambling just wanted you guys to know your not alone...
 
Polexia, we really have been thinking a lot alike lately...

I know it feels lonely and I know it can be very hard. Therepy can help...but that depends on you and if you can find someone you're comfortable with. My suggestion would be to go to your primary care doctor and get a referal from him to a family center or a psychiatrist for a psych evaluation. That will help you to narrow down what your problem(s) may be. Don't just let them shove pills at you without an evaluation from a mental health professional...the wrong drugs could make it worse. Get the evaluation first! Seriously, don't just blow it off...even if it's just depression that can turn into worse things if it's given the proper time to manifest. YOU DON'T WANT THAT. So yeah, you're not alone. None of you are. You have to try cause hey, what could it really hurt? But...you gotta want the help. You have to want to try.
 
I've been really ill since i was 7 and the doctors think i'm depressed because of it. i know loads of the time i am, but i won't tell anybody else. They tried to put me on tablets but i won't take them.
 
Well be careful hon. I was the same way since 5 but with OCD and bipolar and now I'm damn near screwed. Don't let it get worse. Espescially if you plan on kids someday. The change could damn near insure destruction! Post Partem depression can result in bipolar disorder. Don't let it get worse. See a therapist! Just to be on the safe side!
 
yea I got it to, but mine is like not as bad, I dont need a docter or anything, sometimes I feel like just going all suicidal and te maybesomeone might notice me or even care I was there....
 
I've been depressed since I was bullied a few years back...I mean yeah, now, I'm gettin better but then I was a mess. Just now, from the problems thats happened in my life (from the bullying and other stuff) I also now suffer from panic attacks which sucks. But my depression either depends, I mean yeah now I have more happier times in my life but one miniute I could be so happy and the next out of the blue or caused by one little thing, I could go back to my depressin self. One day I hope to get better, but I just feel, in a way it wont for me. I guess everyones problems (maybe anyway) truelly does scar them for life, like me. So yeah, I hope to get better.
 
I've been depressed for just over a year now. It sucks. Sometimes I just get so p***ed with others because of it.
I'm deperessed because people neglect me and I am ALWAYS getting critisam and never get a good comment. I seem to be in a very bad place in my life!
 
My mom has depression. I had it *yeah im a guy* during the summer when things were really really bad.
 
I suspect one of my best friends is depressed. at one point she asked me if I thought overdosing would be painful....I was worried, especially once when we were in class together she was flipping through her notebook and I saw this drawing, and I made her turn back...she protested greatly, and it had a picture of her and all the different suicide techniques. I've been watching her closely...but some days she seems like herself and others she just seems so sad. *sighs* It's getting to where I don't know what to do anymore, I try talking about it with her and she denys anything's wrong. I don't know what else to do besides what I've been doing, just being there and praying she doesn't do something dramatic....*sighs in frustration*
 
trustno1: i'm glad you are watching your friend closel! seems like she can really use it!!! she is very lucky!

i was bullied in school as well... and i was kept alot on the out side! and my father was never around(well for half of my life! i have contact with him now though!) and my mom, she has had a prob with pills, which has screwed me and my siblings up pretty good!(we all suffer from depression.) my mom, even though i don't live home, still bothers me sometimes(i feel so guilty saying bad things about her when she is not being hard to deal with, when she is herself, cos she is really allright then) my mom always tries to controll me, she tries to tell me what to do, and we have such big differences in our views of things... something she can't seem to always acept. it can be really hard to deal with!

and no one was ever there to take care of me(mentaly), cos i never complained i never had anyone talk to me about it.
 
I became depressed almost 2 years ago when my dad died from a airplane accident. There had been a few deaths in my family before that, and that just pushed me over the edge. I was a very very very hyper child, and it seems since then I've been pretty mellow and tired all the time. It takes me hours to get to sleep at night, and hearing my mom crying at night doesnt help either. My mom wants me to see a therapist, but I really dont want to spill out my life story to someone I dont know. So I've been writing a lot of poetry and stuff, it seems to be helping a little.
