I have depression too. It's in my family. My mom has it too. I would love to do the park and meditate and think happy thoughts but my depression is WAY to more intense than that. Don't write the med's off just yet. You should see a psychiatrist who can rotate your meds to help you find a good combonation. NOT all antidepressants make you feel weird. I promise you really! What makes you hate them in general?
Kidains (that's as far as I got with your name) People consider you a good guy because you ARE a good guy!
For those that say suck it up or don't take antidepressants I would give ANYTHING to be in their shoes. To feel good enough to give that advice. It would be a dream. When I was younger and my mom would get super depressed I didnt get it. I used to say "Mom get out of the house, go for a walk, just don't think about it". Those words have now come back to haunt me. I am now going through what she goes through. I feel bad for practically telling her to suck it up.
I would take 10 years off of my life just to have 10 good years with no depression. I don't drink or smoke. As I got older it got worse. Each child I had put me into Post Partum Depression. I thank god that my depression wasn't that bad then. If it was I would not have any kids today. I thank god that I was able to.
Please try to see a psychiatrist (that you get a good vibe from/there are some odd ones out there) there are so many new meds out there. Don't be talked out of it by people who truly don't understand what true clinical depression is. It's like Kryptonite to Superman. It robs you of your life.
The ONLY thing that keeps me going is the fact that I am being proactive trying to get well. I take antidepressants AND I meditate. Listen to new age music. I always have a candle lit to remind me to keep up the fight. I am starting therapy next week.
Remember what does make you happy. Kid, your a Punk Rocker who plays the bass (right now your chick magnet material!). Oh and your a skater (add more points for being chick magnet material as a skater). Write music, get it out with lyrics. Go and skate your *** off! Do those things that you enjoy.
Get to a therapist, they will help you get rid of the stress. You need to decompress. You have not done that in a while. I bet there is a part of you that felt better after you wrote this question to us.
You can't give up. You have way to much to offer. Go take care of yourself, write some lyrics, and rock on! Please listen to what I have said. Remember NOT ALL Meds make you feel wacky. I have been there done that.
Depression is VERY much a medical condition. You have to have it to understand it. Please talk to your Doctor before you stop taking medicine because people tell you to do so. Your in a very special place right now in your life and anyone offering serious advice should be a therapist or an MD. I don't want anything happening to you because you took any advice on here too seriously. Life is too precious. I have a support group so big it could fill a stadium. That's not what my depression is about.
Kid I added you to my contacts. It would be cool to stay in touch with you and to know how you are doing.
Kimmie
Kid are how are you feeling today (Monday)? Are you doing okay?
Sounds more like the lyrics of a song to me! You alright, mate?
Hang in there cat.
We each one of us have had days like this.
Call a counselor, or send an email, or text a counselor.
Hang in there, cat.
You shouldnt think about those things first off, it is not good for you. Try to get out and do activities that will help you stop thinking about all that depressing stuff. Sometimes just talking about it could make you feel a lot better. Try to find a friend or someone who knows what you are going through. Breakups are hard, but that just means it wasnt meant to be, there are plenty of fish in the sea, go date. Good Luck, and feel better. God Bless!
well i think whoever dont drink or dont do drugs are the best, why dont you just get on with your life, stop worrying
BE ACTIVE
Join a sports team, that will definately cheer you up, get busy, all the stressing part in our lives comes whenever we are alone and nothing to do...
Get a job, Be organized, Have fun , because you can never trust when will this world come to an end !!!
Don't think Alot, Just do it whenever you get a chance to do it, Be Free !!!
im going thru that as well...depression and suicidal thought that is. I find it very helpful to keep myself busy, from working out ALOT! writing, surfing the net, computers, watching the tv, just anything at all.
Well alright. Let's assess things one at a time. I don't mean to sound like a pyschologist, but here goes...
First of all... if you skate and play bass, does it make you feel good inside? Do you feel like you're on a high, do you feel good about yourself, feel like everyone admires what you do? If so, keep it up and if not, you know what to do...
Secondly, the meds for depression are sort of like a quick fix. They work only when you eat them, and who knows, depression meds could possibly create bad affects in your future. Anyway I strongly suggest you go out and find peaceful, day to day activities. Have you considered meditation? It calms your mind, clears out all the stupid thoughts. Especially depressing ones. You must find peace and happiness somewhere else. Maybe a nice park? Do you have a dog? Its called pet-therapy and really helps. It worked on me.
So anyway just find things that make you feel good, go out and have fun, work helps too, it makes you busy and gives you purpose, while providing money.
Well hope this helps, good luck =)
I know exactly what u mean. At school I'm always really cheerful/joking, but at home I constantly worry about stupid things(I had OCD but am getting over it). Also, I spend way too much time on the internet like right now haha. But although I haven't ever had depression like what you are talking about I know how it feels when everybody thinks that you are normal but you don't. As for the medication, it doesn't mean you are crazy or any less respectable than anybody else. It's just a medication like any other, only your problem is in your brain. Also, you may want to see a therapist if you have had suicidal thoughts. But just stay involved like you are and talk to people about your problems and actively fight the depression! Hope this helped
start putting periods and commas in your sentences
first of all...you are normal.
more and more people take antidepressants.
keep something in mind. the pills are to fix an imbalance. it does not mean that you are crazy.
when my husband got home from iraq antidepressants helped him get through stuff but they also have terrible side effects and he struggled with it. he took them while he started therapy and once the therapy got him to a place where he could start to lower his dosage he did that...
you never NEVER NEVER want to just stop taking them suddenly.
he had a suicide attempt between medications.
suicidal thoughts are very dangerous and can be brought on by some of these medications. you need to take them very seriously.
if you want to find peace within yourself and get away from needing the help of an antidepressant than you have to work a little at it.
find a therapist you really like. look into EMDR it really helped my husband get off his medication quickly.
most of all.....
do not take suicidal thoughts lightly. don't be afraid to talk to someone right away and be open with someone you trust who will not take these thoughts lightly.
take care of yourself.
part of the battle is learning to look at life differently.
also.
a girlfriend should come after you work on you. you don't need to be in a give and take relationship until you feel good about yourself and where you are at.
understand yourself before you long for someone else to understand you.
hang in there and good luck
What if I said I take mood stablelizing meds does that mean I'm aka crazy. It just doesn't make it so. I know so many people who live with what you live with chronic constipation and depression. If you truly don't want to feel this way anymore, Try anything you can Take your meds as prescribed , Maybe seek counseling, Give yourself some time. Say "I'm gonna do this for a month or a couple of months. Because I promise you it will get better. You can't always see that from a depression fog. But I promise you things do and will change for you . The fog will lift
Aw man, that totally sucks.
Well, first of all. . . you might want to speak to a doctor about that constipation issue. . . or if he/she can't help, then try asking around at a healthfood store. You'll find there's a lot of different vitamins and things that your body needs, but all too often we're lacking in them, and that's where all sorts of problems occur, such as digestion problems. It sounds to me like you must be lacking in something.
Secondly, sorry to hear about your girlfriend leaving you, however, I'll tell you the same thing I tell everyone else. There are billions of different women in the world, and probably thousands in your area alone, and believe it or not, your girlfriend was nothing special. Somewhere out there is someone even better, it's just a matter of running into her.
As for those people who say take your meds, don't do it, man.
It's been proven that all those things do is mess up your head.
Besides, depression isn't so much a medical condition as it a reaction to a lack of emotional support. You're not crazy or anything like that, it just sounds to me like you need some support. So, do what you can, try and make friends wherever, offline, online, it doesn't matter. Just try and find people you can talk to who will listen to you and help you get through the tough times.
Also, just don't sweat the small stuff.
All too often people let the little things get them down.
There's so much to appreciate in life, don't let a few bad things let you lose perspective in the good.
And lastly, don't look at yourself so poorly. You sound like a cool person, but if you don't first learn to respect yourself, then no one else will be able to respect you either. Just keep yourself motivated and you'll be okay.
Sounds a lot like me at one point, and a few of those things still. I suffer from constipation as well.. ill go days.. and often bleed (no joke) when i shight. I stopped takin my depression meds cuz it had mad sexual side effects. Plus youre right, takin them just says im weird and i need them. You'll get over the girl. I dont know how old you are, but i was crazy depressed over that first big one at like 19. I took this stuff called accutane when i was 18 for acne, made me severely depressed. And i think it had something to do with my battle with constipation since. Lifes got its ups and downs brotha. You know its true too. Hang in there. Wellbutrins a good med that doesnt have sexual side effects,.. and either way, **** em if you think you might need the meds just take them. Nothin to be embarrassed about youre not crazy. Do you have any idea how many people yopu know take those meds? A lot more than you think believe me. If you think you dont need them and life as it is is workin for you, then dont take them. What helps is bein around your buddies. They can always make you laugh. Play some music go skate. Dont hide in your room, then you just might go crazy. Good luck to ya
I feel bad for you and want you to know that you aren't alone. If you're depressed doesn't mean that you're crazy. Sh*t happens, but what can you do? It's part of life. You're still alive, you can still do something and pull yourself out of this hole.
Try expressing your feelings. You said you play the bass, play the bass. If you're a skater, go and skate. Talk to your friends about how you feel, if you feel ashamed, why should you?
Remember this: You aren't worthless.
You've lived through that 6 months already, why throw it away?
There was this girl from Taiwan featured on Reader's Digest last September '07, who was also suffering depression and was on some sort of antidepressant as well, but to keep the story short, when she tried to commit suicide, she was saved. She realized that the people around her do care about her, even though she felt . She was able to live through her crisis.
You can too. Don't give up.
Don't buy into society's stigma about meds. The fact is, if your brain is wired a little differently, or has a hard time maintaining the right chemicals, it will make you depressed no matter what, and the meds will help that. However, if you have had problems in your life that you haven't had help dealing with, you need to see a counselor. You gotta talk it out. That may sound lame, but it's absolutely true.
You sound like you might be a teenager or young adult...I don't know how to say this without sounding like the 35 year old I am or patronizing, which I am TOTALLY not trying to be, but it WILL get better. That is a tough age. You have so many interests and skills, in time you are going to really appreciate how wonderful and cool you really are.
