I've never been real depressed, I guess it's cause I take everything so lightly and I try not to worry.....ever.

buck up lil' camper.

i was down for a long while when i first moved - no friends, no job, no money... all meant nothing to do.

but it'll all work itself out sooner than you'd imagine. just do something, anything (like skiing! concerts, exercise, or some other hobby)- otherwise your sadness may take root.

 
i was very depressed about 2 years ago. bad family life. and school sucked. i dont relaly remember how i got over it. but while i was it was harsh

i dont know so much
 
What the hell are you guys talking about? Your speaking about superficial long term bad moods, boredom and unhappiness. Do any of you know what clinical depression is even like? From what you've said you have no idea. My father has been an enimic depressive for as long as I can remember. It tears families apart, pits people against people, and makes for one hell of a bad time for everyone. Being 'down' is not being 'depressed', there is one hell of a difference.

feeling down means your depressed phattytim. yea your dad might be a manic depressive, but if you feel shitty then your depressed. there are lots of different kinds of depression...long term...short term....clinical....non clinical.

Don't think just jump.

 
my sophomore year in high school, i had the worst time, i didnt want to go to school, the only thing worth thinking about was skiing...just take everything easy, dont take things too seriously, and do what you want to do...whatever puts you in a good mood, do that, and eventually you'll figure out a pattern that works for you...just becuase every other person on the planet has a routine in their day, doesnt mean you have to...vary your activities and you might find that it was just pure boredom and monotony that was getting you down. later

 
Bad song to listen to when you're depressed: Wish You Were Here. It doesn't help at all, yet you can't stop listening to it.

Anybody out there have to deal with shrinks?

Gosh they're fun

ok Tim. im calling you out on this. i love you and all. but WHAT THE HELL! your being a complete ass hole lately. all your posts are rude and degrating. last time i checked people on this site were free to talk. and almost every post i've read that you've made lately has been what i previously described. who are you to talk and say that everyone who responded to this thread doesnt know what they are talking about. i was clinically depressed. yes i know your father was/ but that doesnt mean he is the only one in the world. and so what people didnt want to go into details about their depression. it is a problem. why would you want to go indepth to a world of people you dont know... im sorry but you've become way too much of an asshole. wake up and begin to realize...

i dont know so much
 
why would you call out tim? what he said was true. a used to get down a lot, and last year i did get diagnosed with clinical depression. there is a huge diff. if you've been in a situation like Tim's you would understand. it hurts hearing people complain about something that they know little about. oh yah and tim.....i'm a tim too....the tims' gotta get each others back sometimes.

ps...i meant no offense to the person who started this thread or anyone else. i apoligize if i seem cold.

....west
 
Yeah well I'm a tim to and I don't got your back. How old are you six? Does it really matter how severly someones depressed? The fact is we are talking about people under the age of twenty dealing with months of depression. The UN estimates that by 2020 depression will be the most common health problem in the world. It's obvious most of you don't know very much about psychology because your talking shit. My dads I psychologists, I've had the talks you need to go get your shit straightened out.

What I would suggest to anyone who feels shitty is to go and get the book 'on the road' by Jack Kerouac and if that doesn't fix you I would go to the shrink or reevaluate your life.

peace

 
thanks c lo.

i cant understand how people can tell others that they dont know what they're talking about. especially when the issue is depression.. and for the '2nd tim' how can u say they are just whining or whatever you said.. go back are read my last post. NO ONE went in depth on their problems. so u dont know anything about the situation therefore you can keep your mouth shut if u want to be factual. stating an oppinion. fine. but calling them liars for something you ahve no proof or evidence of. just gives me the right to tell you to shut the fuck up!

i dont know so much
 
Okay Cryss, if I'm seeming like that then it's because I'm sick of most of the arrogant little punk ass wannabes that make up this site.

Thank you Brooke

SUPilot, you are quite wrong, my father is not a manic depressive, he is a depressive, you obviously know nothing on the topic so please shut your stupid ass mouth.

And yes, Depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Anti-depressant medication such as 'Aropax' will fix that imbalance to a certain degree so that the brain operates with the correct levels of certain hormones (Which I won't go into coz most of you wouldn't understand). Which is why 'being down' is not depression. It is quite simply, 'being down' or sad.

And yes, some of you might be going through a bloody hard time. I'm not saying that you haven't. I'm merely pointing out that a lot of people use the word 'depression' too lightly. A lot of people walk around and say 'oooh I'm depressed' when you have no idea what-so-ever what it is like for A) the person who is really suffering or B) the family and loved ones of that person. Don't take it lightly, it's a serious condition.

you can use depression as lightly as you want...depression is depression. you can have depression for 5 minutes or 5 months. either way you are depressed for whatever reasons.

you not depressed unless dr.phattytim says you are...you have to check with him first. you see his dad....

There are different stages of depression tim. Your dad has it bad it seems, just because this guy doesnt have it that bad doesnt mean he cant be depressed

 
You're exactly right Martin

And dude who made the last post, I never said that there aren't different stages of depression? Did I say that? No I did not. Go and read every single sentence I've made on this thread, go on, do it, did I say that? No I didn't. Why do you people always abuse people for things they didn't say, it's downright bloody stupid.

I know you didnt say that there are different stages of depression. But you jumped on that guys ass because he said he was depressed.

Then you said that he didnt know what he was talking about, and told your dads story.

 
I didn't actually jump on anybody's ass. In fact I was making a sweeping generalisation. I'll say it again: People use the word far too lightly. The only person I'm abusing here is SUPilot coz he's a cock. Go read some other threads if you want evidence of that. Everyone else in here (pretty much) are all good peeps, probably including yourself 'Rip'. I'm saying that far too many people say 'oh man, I'm so depressed' when really they aren't at all. They're feeling stink or down for a short or long period of time.

Depression is actually a mental illness, not a state of mind.

you are absaloutly right and i stress the 'absaloutly' part.

martin, you don't sound like phattytim's bitch, seriously, you don't.

i find it odd that phattytim's definition of depression overides the websters dictionary definition.

p.s. hey martin does phattytim make you give or receive?

Taste Death. Live Life.
 
Feeling down or stressed for long periods of time can lead to depression or can be symtoms of depression. But it doesn't apply to everybody.

But maybe I shouldn't try to express my opinion because this whole thread has become a shit flinging contest.

In that case, fuck you, too. (To no one in particular)

It's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees.
 
hey tim, when i saw your first post on this thread i was very upset... but if you're really just busting on SU then that's cool.

because you absolutely can not tell me that i don't know about depression. i had a completely psychotic roommate once and also have dated a guy whose entire family has rampant depression.

and i'm just bored and a little less than happy now, but i was depressed forreal before the snow fell this past fall.

 
Depression sucks, if it's for 5 minutes or 5 years... if it gets bad I suggest you talk to sombody, get on some medication. It can really turn your life around.

 
you can be depressed without suffering from depression. Obviously. When your depressed, your body tends to slow the production of seritonin...essentially a happy chemical that attaches itself to neurological receptors and make you feel content. When somethings got you down, the body slows the production, keeping you from being happy. Now, this is a perfectly normal thing to have happen when something happens such as a broken relationship, the death of a friend etc. (Low seritonin levels can also be a genectic problem, meaning that you don't need something to make you depressed, you just are and can also be the result of just a general unhappyness with your life ie social standing, family life etc) The problem is caused when the body doesn't naturally increase the release of seritonin as a result of the healing process. This is when clinical depression can set in. Most psychiatrists won't consider someone as being clinically depressed until the person has felt this way for a long time..such as longer then 6 months straight, though this probably varies from doctor to doctor. There are several different types of depression, major depression, dysthymia and bi-polar.

Major depression would be the most common. This can occur at one moment (how long it lasts can vary) in your life, such as after a traumatic event, and then disapear forever, or come back several years down the road.

Dysthymia is chronic depression. A person who suffers from dysthymia has a daily depressed mood for at least two years. Suffers usually have low-energy, suffer from sleep and/or apetite disturbances and low self esteem. This person often can't remember not feeling depressed ever in their life. This is a chronic imbalance in seritonin levels.

Individuals with bi-polar disorder have a unique pattern of mood cycles, combining depression and manic episodes, that is specific to that individual. There is strong evidence that bi-polar disorder has genetic links and typically begins in adolecence and continues through adult life.

All types of depression are treatable, but treatment isn't always effective. Psychotherapy combined with anti-depressent medication is the best treatment, drugs alone is usually about as effective as healing a broken arm with pain killers.

....that's just a quick overview.

i hate those pills they put you on. so addictive...if i go like a day without them i feel like i'm falling apart at the seams. its' crazy i tell you!

joey: whats that?

me: i dunno

Joey: me either but it's comin back!
 
I was going to post pretty much exactly what 'Jibs' said but most of you guys either wouldn't read it or are too stupid.

Swissmiss, I'm sorry if you feel that way. I also come from a family including multiple depressents. Why did what I say actually make you angry/sad? I never said anything even suggesting that you don't know what it's like. Please people, read things carefully and suss out what people are actually meaning before you reply.

SUpilot: I'm supprised you even know what a dictionary is. Why don't you get two of them, put them on the insides of a vicegrip (if you know what that is) and then insert your head between them. Then you could turn the handle until it gets tighter and tighter around your skull until your head breaks. Yeah, that'd be cool. Fag.

linechick1260: That's why pshychotherapy is important while treating depression, the pills help you to cope, but to go off the pills, you need to feel as though you don't need them to be happy anymore.

Depression = bad

If somebody thinks that they ''have'' depression, of any type, to any degree, listen to them goddamit! Don't tell them about your hospitalized uncle Lector and how he blahblahblah. You all seem to know a little aboot physcologly, so imagine the repercusions of trivializing their pain. Aight Tim? Bitch.

jk, I love ya man.

And about medication; since I nearly memorized several sequenial issues of Adbusters, including the 'Mad Pride' one, I'm VERY weary of both physcological drugs and the social mentality that encourages their use. Recent trends in anti-depresant research and development have brought about a shift in thinking that the old medication is better that the type used today. So, today's drugs, how shall I say... not something that I would want to take. Simple one on one therapy worked for me. Those of you who have gone to therapy know what true happiness is. Its that belief in a better future. That is what cures depression; hope, founding in realization.

Peace ya'll.

Right on brutha.

It's like education. I don't know quite how the system works over there but down under they had a great system a while ago and then they changed it and now all the kids coming through a few years younger than me are retards so all the supid ass politicians are like oh oh oh, it's somehow not our fault and trying to change it back. Running schools as businesses = not a good idea.

Ok...many things got me down and once your down its real hard to think normal again, like you have to tell yourself its all in your head and stuff, and try do as much stuff as possible, yeah friends help, but its bad when your all confused and you think aha yeah that tastes good or that was a rad song, then you go ok its only a feeling that doesn't mean shit, its nothing, what do we mean living everyone strives for perfect health and stuff coz its instinct, but what is instinct?..and it goes on like this, and i gennerally freak myself out and end up shaking myself to sleep.

very scary, i dunno what got me down, maybe injury or knowing that all my friends are all leaving for Uni next year, and i have still one year of school left and it feels like i should be leaving to. i generally freak out. plus OCD doesn't help either.

so i was wondering if anyone else gets it like this, and you fully don't wanna tell people about it coz of judgement, and stuff, i can say on this coz you guys are all on the other side of the world pretty much.

anyway peace out im coping, and alcohol helps, think happy thoughts.

heres one,

my friend just won the national bodyboarding champs under 18 and open!

he's the best in NZ!

Uh... yeah. But maybe we should start a whole new thread about poorly (notice I didn't say under) funded schools eh? Or is this thread dead enough already to change it topic? And dam it late and I'm going to bed as soon as the disk I'm buring is done, yeah.

yeah man, I'm going to bed also.

Hey Nicky, I know what you mean bro. You start thinking about something straight forward like an instinct or a feeling for example and then you go further and further into thought. And if you're anything like me then you'll end up at how infinatley insignificant you are in this huge huge universe right?? Yep, I do that a lot too. For me, alcohol really doesn't help that much, usually makes it worse. Well it does while I'm awake coz I just chill and listen to Pearl Jam and Pink Floyd and hang with the girlies but when I'm asleep I have the most amazingly incredibly freakishly weird dreams you could ever imagine, good times, haha, but yeah, keep it real bud.

i suffer from OCD which is a form of Extreme anxiety. it freaks you out, everything you do you wonder what people are thinking, then you think if i tell people this what are they going to think of you then? get me? real freaky.

and yeah tim i fully freak out when i think how insignificant thoughts, feelings, but i generally turn to my family ah, they help heaps. don't tell them but its just good being round people that don't judge you in any way.

and can't 'down' just be a word for expressing the disorder deppression, i wasn't meaning feeling sad, coz arent deppressed people down?

just a word you see!

peace dudes

OH DEAR and tim i have been having reallll coool dream lately heaps of them they are cool, and you wake up and its normally 'phew it was only a dream'

now its like my life when i wake iss the bad scary part! that sucks.
