depression

The fact that you said she should have sex to get rid of depression is not the issue. The fact that you told her how to get rid of it is, when it was based on a personal experience.

I am not going to discuss it, though. I will simply conclude with a word of warning. Be VERY careful what advice you give a depressed person. Even specific medications can be a bad advice. You are not dealing with a bruise or a cut, you're dealing with a psychological sickness, and not one with absolute fixes. Every individual is unique, and sometimes, so is their sickness.

Giving the wrong advice can be the end of someone. See it as a plead from me to you. Phrase yourself better in the future, and don't give personal experiences out as factual solutions. Give them out as they are: Experiences. Pretending to know exactly what you're talking about won't help. Many times, it does quite the opposite.

How about just go to a psychiatric doctor and ask for abilify and welbutrin...

see no sex there...

Telling you antidepressants/western medicine works wonders.

Not for everyone.

The ones I've tried just made matters worse.

Drugs are not for every single person...but that really sucks.

I would say that some forms of depression....just form my research....can only be avoided, not suppressed with medication. It can take decades to "avoid" getting into those slumps. You can never cure yourself, I think: you just teach yourself how to avoid the thoughts and the "slumps."

I've already abused sex as an anti-depressant.
It works up until I begin to think I'm a whore.

Ughhhh,
ED recovery 2: Fail.
Maybe I should take a break from this site again.

You sound like you need to get lion king'd

Scar.

This could work.

wuut

you are not a whore.... you just love to have sex... thats not a whore.

a whore is a prostitute.

I just take pills to suppress my depression and other negative feelings. Granted, I'll probably snap and go on a violent slaughter spree once I'm off them, but I figure it was worth the few years of peace.

I have bipolar II. It's not particularly fun.
