I need Help with my Depression?!


Question:

I need Help with my Depression?

Ive been really depressed lately and I really dont know why
it seems like the littlest things piss me off and cause me to be more depressed. Lately i have been crying for no reason I just feel depressed and have suicidal thoughts. I would never kill my self but for some reason i cant get the thoughts out of my head What should I do? I think I just need to move far away and start a new life. Any advice?


Answers:

There are medications that can be taken long-term with little or no harmful effects. People take medicine for life for high blood pressure, because they have high blood pressure. I'm sure there are other examples. Besides, taking medication that may ( and may not) have minor side effects is better than feeling suicidal, angry , or sad all the time.

I suffer from depression and it wasn't about finding hobbies or diet and exercise or talking to someone. My brain was not receiving enough of the chemicals that make you happy (its called serotonin).

I was feeling similar: I had been depressed for well over a year, and off and on through my whole life. The last two months I was cycling between not wanting to get out of bed, extreme sadness and anger. I knew my life wasn't that bad, but my brain was not allowing me to feel any joy anymore. I started anti-depressants a week ago, and I still feel down but not as bad, but the anger and sadness is gone. I feel like I am slowly turning upward in mood again. (That's how many anti-depressants work, they work gradually, by replenshing the chemicals in your brain).

My advice see a doctor as soon as you can. Again, see a doctor who is a professional in dealing with depression and knows how the human brain functions. If you feel suicidal, call a crisis hotline.
