Answers:
I understand where you are coming from as I have suffered from this as well!. When I was depressed, I put on more than 70 lbs! But have hope because there is a way out and it isn't found in some pill!. The reason why we feel depressed is because we CARE TOO MUCH about certain things and become very unhappy when they get taken away or don't work out the way we want!. The way to happiness, therefore, is something called DETACHMENT!. Hard as it is, we have to learn to not allow things to MATTER to us so much!. We need to learn how to say "that doesn't matter to me" when we are feeling down!. Learn to look at these things that are making you sad as being insignificant!. When you learn this, you will find NOTHING has the power to hurt you anymore!. Its very hard to do but it is the only way to overcome these negative emotions!. Say to yourself "it doesn't matter!"Www@Answer-Health@Com

There are multiple people in my life who have suffered from depression!. My friend claims that people with depression can't do anything about it on their own!. Recently, though, I watched a segment on 60 minutes that proved her statement wrong!.

The segment was on an inspirational speaker whose words have changed many peoples life, including many like you who feel depressed!. You can find the videos on youtube if you search "The Last Lecture!." I hope that his words will influence you to live your life to its absolute fullest!. There are many like you who go through a time of depression, but it is something that you can defeat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I went through this years ago when we were losing the house and no jobs, four kids, car repossed!. I had everything planned out on how to end life and my kids, and I turned to "God" and a week later my husband got a job and the kids are grown and on their own!. Sometimes you just have to look deep inside yourself and tell yourself to snap out of it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i agree with melanie, i havent seeked god but ive had to look inside and find strength for my kids!.

Only you can do this , please speak to your doctor and a close friend- just realise youre not alone and you can do it :) good luck xWww@Answer-Health@Com

quit feeling sorry for yourself!. That is all I think depression is!.!.!. ppl feeling sorry for themselves and drs!. seeing this as a way to line their pockets by placing ppl on meds!. These meds azre dangerous!. Try vitamins,and st!. John's wort!. U can get it in a health food store or at wal-mart, wal-greens, ect!. Do not ask the dr!. for this! They will try to dissuade u from it and make u see them to get anti-depressants!. I know, I was there at one time!. If u believe in a high power, like the christian God,then pray and do all that I have instructed u to do!. DO NOT try to do this on your own!!! The st!. john's wort,prayer,eating better food, and excersize will do the trick!. If u feel like u will harm yourself, ( you know what I mean,) call and talk to someone!. DO NOT HESITATE ON THAT PART!!! The st!. johns wort is a mood uplifter, and is all natural!. That is the best part of it!!! You can not snap out of this by wishing someone else will do this for you!. YOU HAVE TO DO THIS FOR YOURSELF!. Take control,take your responsibilities seriously and you will get better!. Right now, your resposibility is to get better!. that is your job!. I hope I have helped!. Nothing worse than someone feeling sorry for themselves and not doing anything about it!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
