I have a friend who was able to deal with it through medication. Personally I am not really depressed ever...but real depression can certainly not be dealt with as easily as our resident dolts here propose.

True.

Yes you have...liar.

Personally, I use drugs

in general, "depression" (the 'I feel so bad's) is fairly easy to get rid of. It normally just comes from frustration, or it is a natural grieving process, and mostly time will make it better.

Depression (The capital D, real cognitive/affective disorder) is one of, if not the most debilitating disorders on the planet. Therapy/medication is somewhat helpful, but we just don't know enough about brains yet for there to be a magic bullet.

I think a lot of people have bouts of the "big D" Depression, but it is very much different from the regular depression that comes from life. A scary, though illuminating, statistic is that people with major depression are at the most risk of suicide once treatment starts. A majorly depressed individual probably doesn't have the motivation to kill themselves, but once the treatment starts and they get some motivation, and they are still unhappy, they do it.

Sounds cliched to say, but "...one day at a time."

butsekz.

Hmm, I used to try a lot of things to handle my depression.

I'd try illegal drugs, try legal drugs illegally, and I used to cut....

But now I've realized time just takes care of it, really. Or you have an epiphany, and you just get over it, or realize something about your problem you are depressed over.

I recommend to anyone, not to ever cut yourself or do drugs to get over shit.

Drugs can help.

There are better reasons to use them though.

When I'm feeling down I sleep or jerk off. Works.

Ever tried both at the same time?

It's hard.

I knew someone who took acid and went sky diving once....

Oh, nevermind.

Ironic, drugs also cause depression.

My local shop keeper just got submitted to hospital:

he has been on anti-depressants for a number of years now. 4 days ago he stopped using them and today he got submitted to hospital, as he collapsed while working. His state is critical.

A lot of my friends that used to be on prescription anti-depressants, when they stopped taking the pills, they were actually a lot happier afterwards.

It's weird how they can just make you worse sometimes.

It's not weird at all. Everyone reacts differently to different things.

Oh I know that, it's just that it's supposed to make you feel less depressed, but with some people, it makes them feel even worse.

Sniff saint john's warts -the tenture-

Dehydration can lead to depression, stay hydrated.

Check your home for mold or other allergants that can lead to serious mental & physical health problems.
