Does anyone else have "depression attacks?"?!
Question: Does anyone else have "depression attacks!?"!?
Im generally a happy person!. When I was in high school I had about 2 years of some pretty bad depression, but I learned how to make things better and to feel better!. Anywho, lately Ive been having these overwhelming urges to kill myself!. Yesterday I cried for about 2 hours off and on for the most ridiculous reasons!. And now, today I feel fine and dont have any suicidal feelings!. I dont understand where all this emotion is coming from!. I feel like I have a really good life, Ive moved to a new city which I love, Im starting a new job, and Im starting college next month!. Im excited about a lot of things and I dont understand why I feel the need to kill myself!. Does this happen to anyone else!? How do you handle it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

And here i thought i was the only one who had this going on, lol You're not alone!. Okay, i can tell i'm going to write alot because i relate totally!. Everything you've wrote, is like reading my own words!. Started in high school and came off and on and there was absolutely no reason, everything in my life was going good!. But then i'd feel like killing myself and all that stuff and it went on for years!. i still get it off and on, its just something i have to live with and learn to handle it constantly!.
I was labeled as 'Bi-Polar' , 'Manic Depressed', yadda yadda, both which well!.!.!.to me seem a little exaggerated, noo not me, I don't have that, only extreme crazed people have that lol !.!.But you're not crazy and you don't need to be feeling like that 24/7 to be "labeled" as such!. Some people mite say , you're just down it will go away, and that might be true!. But there are other people who it doesn't go away for!. You'll have to be the judge of that yourself!. You know if it's something that isnt going away!. You might have an imbalance somewhere, it may come and go once in a while, or it may come more frequent!. Not everybodys the same!. A lot of people have it and don't even know!. Here's how i handle my world, maybe it will help you handle yours!.
1!. Fight back!. It took me years to learn to fight back against those thoughts!. When they come, and when you realize you're thinking them!? Get mad at them, swear, whatever works for you!. Tell yourself "No! i will NOT think this stuff, i will not do this stuff now!."!. I find this really works good for me and snaps me back!. Even if i still feel like it, i've just set the rules down!.
2!. Food and exercise!. Surprisingly, if you're someone who naturally doesn't seem to have a normal balance of chemicals going on like i do, what foods you eat can have some effect!. Try to eat healthy, yea yea, everybody says that but trust me it helps your chemistry!. Your brain lives off what you feed it!. Exercise helps, medically i don't know how but it really does!. If you don't believe it, try it!. You'll be surprised what a good walk can do for your body chemically as well as physically!.
3!. Try to open up to your doctor!. You've already opened up on here, so obviously you're getting to the point you feel like something needs to happen or you're going to end up hanging from a rope soon!. Its scary as hell!.
Don't let it win!. You're worth fighting for!.
Sorry for the book sized reply, hang in there okay!.

First of all, take notice of when you get this depression!. Is it around your period!. If you started your period today and felt better, you are experiencing PMS!. If it doesn't have anything to do with your cycles, you need to see a doctor and find out how your depression should be treated!. I have had it all of my life and if you take good care of yourself, you can live through it!. It's certainly not fun and there is sometimes no rhyme or reason for getting an attack!. Lots of meds work really well, though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

perhaps you have borderline personality disorder - they often have bursts of feeling very low then are fine the next day or a few hours later!.
do you get bursts of anger too!? check out borderline personality disorder!.
if not - do you get really happy at times too - bipolar disorder!?
perhaps i am thinking too far and too dramatically!.
if it persists, i'd say talk to your doctor about it definately, if it's interfering with your life and annoying you!. see how long it goes on for, yeah!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

You might want to chart these depressive episodes and see if they coincide with your menstrual cycle!. It sounds like you have these very short duration bursts of depression which might be connect to the short duration bursts of hormones that go on with your cycle!.

At least you admit it, that is good!. You have taken on a lot of stress lately, and I have to admire you for being so fearless, I couldn't do all that at once!. Also, we women are so hormonal, I have found that does not help in my own case!. Do you have someone to talk to about this!? If not a friend then maybe a counselor!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Depression is a MEDICAL problem, not a personality problem!. Talk to your doctor about antidepressants!.

It could be just too many adjustments at one time, and even though you don't THINK it's alot to handle, your body might be saying otherwise!.!.!. Deep down you KNOW killing yourself would be the most ridiculous thing to do, especially when everything is going so well!! I would suggest talking with your family or friends about it or write your feelings down in a diary and let some emotions out onto paper!.!.!. it helps alot! Sometimes even smiling when you're in the worst mood can help your mood SOOO much!. You're going through alot of adjustments right now and I think these feelings will subside once you are settled in, but just be patient!.!.!.!.things will ALWAYS work themself out in the end! :) And like the others said, it could very well just be period hormones! Try relaxation techniques also!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
