Answers:

Depression is one of the worst things in the world. Infact 2 out of 4 people suffer from it, and you can never hear them admitting that they have it. Look around those busy cities, new york , london , tokyoe , ontario, any major big fast pace cities , they are millions who sufffer from it.

I think the reason this world is getting more people who are depressed, its bcoz of the system. We were not meant to work this fast paced life, with high epxpectations set by family and school, or work place. Everyone is programmed to think to be somebody or valued in society , u got to be soo goood at something . Hence we find ourselves hitting the wall , where hope is never found. Basically , when you have no hope , tried everything in ur reach , then depression waves begin.

You first get the sypmtoms, panic attacks , sweating , feeling moody which at times cause u to avoid social places. This is called social anxiety . Personally , i find social anxiety the deadliest form of disorder. It literary robs ur life like no other thing i have come across. yea its an early stage of social anxiety , it gets uglier as time goes by without attacking it head on. The more situations you train ur mind to dodge, the more your mind is programmed to act defensive when your out at social places.

I suffered this for over 10 years, but am getting a hang of it, No one should lie to you it is going to be easy , only you will manage to work it out.

I hated relatives big parties out, i hated buses and trains, i certainly hated libraries, i hated queieng up on super markets, i hated almost anything to do with human beings around me. It a problem tht started when i got bullied for my teenage odour, like i used to imagine that i smell in publics, thinking tht my armpits wrecked badly. Eeverytime i went out i would sweat and fear it offending others. I tried bathing three times a day , and used all types od deodrant and perfumes, but it never worked. It was a problem , that wasnt phsyically rooted, but my twisted mind .

How did i work through my social avoidance, well....
My first and foremost step was to check in to a doctor who prescribed me citalopram 40 mg and diazepam [ which sometimes is called vallium else where } 5 mg. I think the diazepam worked wonders , coz it hits the nervous system responsible to make u nervous, and have panic attacks when u are in social places. It calms u down , u feel ur ownself so calm tht u can try to handle tasks tht u wouldnt manage. Take the diazepam only when ur out in those situations, dont take it daily like the citlaopram. The citalopramm helps to bring ur serotonin and endorphin levels to balance, those hormomes when ur depressed and anxious , they are so low tht u feel very uncomofrtable, tht is why u feel like u are almost dying, or u fear alot for no good reasons.

THEN MY NEXT MOVE Was to tackle a problem head on , for example going to supermarket. I would start off with the smallest thing, pehraps, just enter in , see around the fruits isle , and walk out again . Then when two hours got over walked back in , take another isle, walk around nd come out, i made sure by the end of the day i finished all isles, and my awarded myself by buying a snack and paying it out on cash counter.

The earlier you tackle the things u avoid the better. The trick is to find ways to re programme ur mind from fearing such places. Citalopram and dizepam will help u to calm u down , and also eat plenty of salmon fish and whole nuts like almonds and cut on ur junk food, take instead oats poridge, eat whole meal bread, take rice, potatoes, plenty of vegetables, cut processed sugar . Such measrues will make u into a happy bunny.

I am now free from this mental enslavement, i wish u were here and i help to work with u , coz i know how bad this thing can rob ur life , u will dodge friends and many things tht are good to ur social life .

I am 31 and have the same problems, to the Nth degree. Find a good psychaitrist. I did and it really seems to help. At least with the anxiety. Depression is another battle entirely, and although they can be related, they are two seperate problems. Having one does not necessarily mean having the other. Where I live EVERYONE has guns, and it's crossed my mind a million times how easy it would be to pick up one of mine and end it all, but I always talk myself out of it. Perhaps this is not something I should be mentioning to someone with a depression problem. You are very very young. You need a hobby. If you don't like school, hey, that's ok, survive high school and get a certificate in something you can stand to do. Work in a field that keeps you busy. Keeping busy at work and being TIRED at the end of the day are MIRACLE CURES for depression and anxiety. I find that the majority of MY depression and anxiety is directly related to 1. unemployment, and 2. substance abuse. Avoid substance abuse, but if you get caught up in it, TALK TO THE ALL-IMPORTANT psychaitrist. And if someone says that you have to go to rehab and you don't want to, DON'T GO. It'll only do you good if you want to go, and that goes for rehab for ANYTHING, not just drugs/alcohol. You're young. Chances are you have a very bright future ahead of you. Sometimes sensitive people need a helping hand. I'm not afraid to admit that. And it makes me more of a man to come out and say it. You've even taken the first step by asking US for help. But if things get too tough, get professional help and anyone who calls you crazy or talks behind you back, FU**'EM. I say phuck-you to a billion people a week in my own mind, and there's nothing wrong with it. It's your life, run it the way you want, but if you want to be happy, you may need the occasional 'helping hand'. Just consider it. -john in davenport, iowa



Lack of confidence. I suggest hanging around family members who u do find more confort in and over time your confidence will build and you just move on to other people outside the family.



well, the only way to reduce anxiety I would suggest you to watch good movies(like titanic), listen to songs or read up some books. Hope it helps!!
