Are you suffering or have you ever suffered from Depression..?!


Question: The main drive for me is holding onto feelings of guilt and loss. Unfortunatly, I drink and take painkillers regularly just to feel some relief.

How and ever, not to worry about me..!! That is not the point of this question.

I am interested in how many ppl are depressed or have been. I wreckon its an awful lot..

If you wish to remain anonymous, star the question or whatever, i dont really care.

I have never had problems until recently. I seem to have the perfect life, and at the root of it all, it is great, but due to recent financial issues I stand to lose it all. I went from a stay at home mom, to a restaurant owner, to losing my restaurant and waiting tables for someone else all in two years. Now I am working two jobs and taking out loans to pay the bills every month. My family won't even answer my phone calls because they think I am going to ask for money and the only thing keeping me from ending all of my problems is selling my old house ( I am paying on 2 houses right now because it hasn't sold yet) but it is almost impossible to sell a house in the USA right now. I too drink and take pain pills to help me get through it. I am not sue how much longer I can hold on , yet I come on here say words of encouragement to others who need it every day. I guess I just finally met my breaking point.
I think I am going to repost this on the main board.

Lived with it for ever since i could remember about 35 years.

Yes

Yes. I hate it so much.

I was depressed for about 2 years.
The worst years of my life.
But i think it's helped me see thing more clearly.
I enjoy everything about life now.

I do have depression, but not from a lost or guilt. I just feel angry and as though life has lost its color and joy. I used to smoke weed, but that is a major downer and only makes you feel good for a small amount of time. I try to refrain from drinking because i have seen where obsessive drinking leads too.
My partial antidote is playing computer games. seriously.
Once you get into an interesting game, it sucks your soul and feelings right out.

Oh boy do I know it well. Depression has been in and out of my life for as long as I can remember. I feel for you. Good luck man.

Yeah I have definatly went through times of really bad depresion ,have done drugs, and partied alot but in the end I am back to liveing a normal life and I love every minute of it!Wish you the best :>)

I have been treated for depression for over 15 years, so I know a little bit about it.
I don't know the number but there are a lot of people who are depressed.

Hi yep i think at times depression hits us all mine really started when i became agoraphobic followed fairly swiftly by the death of my mum and my marriage going down the pan. Heres how i deal with it i try hard each day not to drink to much i have a l have a cat which makes me get up every morning because she needs to be fed and i try to cook a new meal evry week cause i dont know if you live on your own but cooking for one is so boring

I had a minor case of depression for a while.
I realised that being sad isn't going to solve anything. I faced it head on. Now nothing can ever, ever get to me.

I also have used alcohol and drugs to numb the pain.
Its not healthy and it definitely wont cure me, but i think there are a plethora more people than we could imagine that have mild to severe depression, although i think sometimes it gets mistaken for just having a bad day. I'm no shrink, but i am of the opinion that more people need to not necessarily "suck it up," but realize that everyone has problems and that positive thinking can do a lot more wonders than pharmaceuticals can.

If I remember reading correctly depression is only second too one with cancer! I've been dealing with it since 7th grade and I am now 50.I feel suicidal 24/7 and that is also being with a therapist and taking meds.The guilt comes out of nowhere!Your self worth is non-existent.You hate crowds and small places!And the one thing that will "piss" me off the most is when some idiot will tell me too just"Snap out of it!". Not possible!

Suffered from Depression and anxiety for years in my twenties. It took a lot of searching to find something that really worked. Now I am 100% better, and have been for many years.
