Depression

kinda how i have been this year as well. i just realized how gay a lot of my friends are, and how much i truly hate a lot of people. i just really hate people that are assholes, act stupid, slutty girls etc. and it pisses me off, and kinda makes me depressed. nothing like what people have said in the thread in fact i wouldn't even consider it any type of depression. my friends just act fake a lot, never act serious and can be boring. i have like 3 true friends and that's it. a few acquaintances, and the rest of the people i could truly care less about...
 
You really need to go to talk to someone. That is no way you should be acting, or feeling about yourself. You need to change shit, and start by talking to someone. Have you ever put your feelings down like that? I bet you feel better. At least a little it. You really should get all of this off your chest, and then start from the bottom to make things better. And you might not be able to do it alone. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Chin up girl.
 
i would definately suggest talking to your mom and/or a psychiatrist. i would also suggest a healthy dose of skiing. don't do drugs or start drinking.
 
bump, a healthy dose of your fav sport helps and right now for me its skiing so you wont catch me elsewhere but shredding
 
i found what has helped me was talking to someone, religion, friends and exercise. brab a rain jacket and go for a run. exercise does wonders, even if you can't go very far try. then try to go farther the next day. you'll feel better for atleast accomplishing something. but mostly talk to somebody especailly if you are thinking about doing something "stupid".
 
I went through that shit for like 6 months in a row once and although its better now, I'm so afraid that it will come back. it was the worst time of my life and I cant stress that enough and I never ever want to deal with it again. I wet to counselors and tried a whole ton of shit and honestly the thing that helped me through it the most was music. I just listened to it and really got into it and thought about it and took it apart and idk since then it just really became a big part of my life now. And things are going good now so I'm going to stick with music. Idk if this even helped at all but if you want any other advice or anything pm me
 
A midwife is not like your regular obstetrician. They prefer to take a more natural route. Plus, I feel you are closer with them. I started with an OB, but they just seemed to not care. They treated me as the next pregnant girl who was preggo. The midwife treated me as a future mother, and helped me embrace it. Their office isn't in a hospital, but in their own private practice, which is nice. Plus, I gave birth twice with no drugs.

Actually, that's a lie. They gave me Stadol, but that just made me feel sssuuuppppeeerrrrr high, didn't take any of the pain away. Awesome drug.

 
I've been there man. I have suffered with depression most of my life, it runs in my family pretty hardcore. But you gotta learn how to force yourself out of it. Its the hardest thing to do because when you are depressed, you just sit there and think of how shitty everything is, and that forces you deeper into depression. It feeds off itself. I still battle it from time to time... girl problems generally set me off. But its possible to beat it man. Some people say take pills, it stabilizes chemicals in your brain but I say screw that. Its a real disease, but its easily overcome if you find the good things in your life. Find things that make you feel good about yourself. Hobbies like skiing (that has always saved me), go run, get your blood pumping, just anything to get active and find things in your life that make you feel good about being who you are. Good luck man, it's not easy, but you can beat it.
 
pm me if you want any other advice by the way. it helps talking to people who understand it and know things that will help your brain unlock itself from that state.
 
I went to this AA conference with my dad one time in california, he hasnt drank for like 19 years, but talking to the other kids helped me realize that my life was fuckin glorious. I know its kind of bad but seeing how unfortunate some of these kids had it made me look at my life and see that it wasnt so bad and i was just drowning in my own tears.. like this thread if you look at it, you'll realize that everyone gets depressed but do any of you REALLY have anything to be depressed about? yea my parents got divorced when i was 13 and i got picked on in school around that period of time, but thats just normal. other kids parents are killing themselves or drunks or addicts who beat them... thats something to be sad about... anyway thats just how i feel i hope it helps someone
 
after reading the replies the majority of kids on NS have never been through depression.

medicine DOES help. if you combine meds with talking to a therapist or counselor you can easily get better if you want. be open to it and DONT be ashamed of it cause it happens and its not your fault. You have to give depression meds time but eventually they help with your serotonin levels.

DO

1. Tell your parents and ask for them to make an appointment with a professional

2. Be patient with the medicine. (you may have to change meds a few times before one works)

3. Talk with a counselor periodically while taking medicine

4. Become physically active if you're not already. get into a sport or lift weights

DO NOT

1. turn to drugs or alcohol... you will fuck EVERYTHING up if you do.

2. care if people think its weird you have depression... if they do they are douches who have low self esteems and focus on other people’s problems rather than their own

3. do nothing... at least see a professional

I've been through it man, its a hard road but when you’re done you have overwhelming pride at what you've overcome. I really hope this helps
 
so you think it's ok to take medical DRUGS vs recreational DRUGS?

not only ok but you said a few different kinds????!!!!

yeah everyone load up on scripts!!!!!!

you're dumb

go run outside in the fucking sun and enjoy life. don't take speed just because a doctor says it's fucking good for you. being depressed is not an epidemic.
 
i eouldnt get into drugs, but you can get pills prescribed that will make you feel the exact opposite. they make you feel great

give those a try

my friends mum had depression and she uses pills still now to help her out
 
everybody gets down sometimes. Just go for a run or something. Look at the brightside of life. Just accept sadness and have fun when its good. It's probably a teen thing.

Good Luck .
 
By reading this I realized how content I am in my current life

situation. Just that I'm sad sometimes, but I've been happy for days

now, much thank to this thread. Can't really explain it. But anyways,

thanks!!
 
i didn't post in this thread to get into an argument. i posted it to help someone who is going through what i went through. you haven't gone through depression so please don't give advice to someone because you think you know what you're talking about.

depression meds take weeks to work and they are not at all addictive. coming out of depression is a combination of medicine, therapy and a will to be happy again.

i've been through it and now i'm happy (not always you still have bad days). but you want to get up in the morning and you feel like you have a purpose again... i have been off depression meds for about two years.

seriously though i can read through this and tell who has had clinical depression. if you want more advice or have questions don't hesitate to PM me, because i can really feel for what you're going through
 
Do you have problems with reading comprehension? Your post doesn't even make any sense in relation to what he wrote.
 
guys honestly, don't listen to this shit. try and do it on your own first. i've been through depression like 3 times in my life, what i've found helps most is being active which is one of his point in there but its not just being active that helped me, you gotta make changes to your life, i found i got depressed because i would get too bored and comfortable with my life and pissed off cause nothing was happening except shitty things. Take up something new, I took up skiing, djing, guitar, piano etc. that shit makes life more interesting therefore making life worth living because you have something to be stoked about again. When your in a positive happy mood, good things tend to happen.

Honestly, you can take meds and spend thousands of dollars on a shrink but take it from someone whos been through it many times.. pick up something new and exciting that you've always wanted to do.. look at your life and figure out whats so shitty about it and change it.
 
If you live by the beach go there and try surfing. It is honestly the most relaxing thing. Whenever I surf there is nothin else I think about. To me its better than any drug. Skiing isnt bad neither but it takes alot of energy and isnt always relaxing. It helps me alot. Also try meditation and just clear your mind.
 
i feel like i should chime in on this..........

only thing i can think of saying is..........

the worlds a fucked up place and loves to keep beating you down.
 
some of the best ways to deal with depression are really straight forward: healthy eating, excersise (releases serotonin in your brain which is what makes you feel good), sun (also releases serotonin) and finding things that you enjoy that keep you occupied ( this does not mean watching tv or playing video games)
 
if you can afford it theres nothing BAD about going to see a psyciatrist (sp). its not a good idea to try and convince someone NOT to see a doctor.

yea, you have to change stuff if your life but a psychiatrist will help you figure all that shit out. sometimes its something so important and vital to your life (at the time) that you couldn't imagine changing it. thats what it took for me, and it took me like 6 months of counseling to figure it out. i don't recommend trying to just do it yourself. i bet this guy HAS been trying to figure it out himself for a while, and its not working and he's finally realized that he's depressed.
 
word, don't wait till you hit rock bottom to seek help. Seriously, as much as one can reflect upon one's self, one can't counsel one's self.
 
yea this is a good point, what i was saying may have been misconstrewed. I meant try and attempt to do what i said first and if this doesn't help then go seek professional help. but before that even talk to someone who is really close to you and will understand a lot of shit.. I would actually talk to my ex girlfriend a lot but i realized she ended up being more depressed than i was ahaha.

(off topic but whatever)but anyway after listening to her problems and hearing what other girls are depressed about I find that a lot of girls are the same. *This is to one of the girls in the thread*.. anyway after talking with her i realized that most girls feel like they dont fit in, a lot of girls feel like people think there a whore just because they like sex and a tonne of girls are insecure.. i would hate to be a girl cause no offense but you girls are fuckin mean to eachother.
 
drugs aren't the way to go.

Talk to a real doctor, a neuropsychiatrist, a neurologist, or a researcher in the field. The brain has a delicate balance in terms of genetics/epigenetics/molecular interplay that really is not understood, and to fuck around with your brain like that for something as simple as unipolar depression, or the typical depression that you see every day is a BAD CHOICE.

What you should do, is develop a healthy lifestyle, don't opt for the "easy" way out, because it won't fix any problems you have.
 
Just gotta keep the faith man. Life can be tough sometimes for long periods and you just gotta keep pushin through. Also, try to stay active. If you are just sittin around doin nothing felling sorry for yourself, well that won't change anything you know? Try and get out and do something, anything, even just go for a walk or a drive, even if it is raining. Also, sometimes if you are feelin depressed for a long time, you start to feel like you need to be sad, so try to be happy about stuff, even if you need to force yourself at first to do so. Everyone can be happy, satisfied, and have a sense of humor, you just gotta find it. I'm sure you will get through this man. And remember, drugs and alcohol are NOT the way to go.
