So I had a mono test and shit cause i was feeling super tired all of the time and i rarely have that big of an appetite anymore so i lost like 10 lbs. Anyway she thinks im depressed, i dont really know if i am or not cause i've been like this for like 2 months now. Anyone ever been on cipralex or effexor? cause thats the shit she wants to put me on... im pretty against it though
 
If you don't want to take the prescription meds, you can try out this herb called St. Johns Wort.
 
comment of the week. lollerpop.

but, dont take fucking anti-depressants. And dont smoke everytime you get depressed
 
I know depression affects appetite, so who knows. I'd say give it a try but keep in mind it's only a temporary solution. get a gf and I bet you'll be 100%
 
highly possible man. But remember i dont feel 'down' or anything, im just tired and have no appetite. my doctor just said i might be depressed.

 
dont take that shit. get the opinions of other doctors if you think its serious. depression isn't something to be taken lightly.
 
yeah dood dont put shit in you to feel good.... thats what pot is for =) the season starts in a couple months.. well all be more happy then!
 
Coming from first hand experience, if you have depression, your gonna know it. However, your symptoms are typical of the onset of depression, so watch yourself. Depression is a mental illness, it can happen to anyone, you don't have to truly be sad and have problems in your life, its not necessarily because your "emo" or whatever. if you do happen to have depression, I recommend taking the meds if you are truly sick, they definetlywill help you. Also, force yourself to stay active, listen to peaceful happy music (bob marley) and talk about with your family and friends (weed can be good too). Stay strong.
 
thanks for the info guys, ^ i think i will go talk to other doctors, i doubt ill actually go on anti depressants, i can do other shit that will make me happy. maybe quit my job cause that isnt making me happy at all
 
i dont smoke weed, never have liked it much

i just told one of my roommates about what happened and he was like dude, im on antidepressants its not a big deal lol
 
You seemed pretty happy when I met you and those random british dudes in April. You have bendy-ass skis.

I had mono for 2 months. Then it went away for 2 months. Then the tiredness, appetite loss, and some of my other symptoms like balance and memory problems came back without any of the other mono stuff. Right at this time of the year too. I had MRI's, CAT scans, blood tests, all kinds of stuff done. The doctors thought it may have been depression, but I had nothing to be depressed about. They didn't prescribe anything in the end. No one figured out what was going on, and it eventually faded away. YAY

Send me a message if you want more info.
 
here's the thing no body seems to ever get. you can be suffering from depression without being upset about something. what can happen is an imbalance of hormones in your brain that causes you to technically be depressed. so you may want to consider taking the prescription even if you're not upset about something.
 
ya man, everyone who meets me feels im super positive, i am happy too. i live in a sick place to ski, go to college, have a hot gf and have a job as a bartender (which i might quit cause all this shit is too much work, but ill hold out for a few more weeks for money purposes). but im just tired as shit and cant eat a lot anymore. I used to be into bodybuilding and shit and would eat 5 or 6 meals a day, now ive lost 15 lbs and cant eat a lot anymore. i might start heading back to the gym and get into it again cause exercise creates endorphyns which make you happy and give you energy so i dunno. i think im gonna hold out on the drugs for a few weeks and try to change some things in my life and lifestyle and see if it goes away.
 
i'd take the medication into very careful consideration. My chick is on effexor, it's extremely habit forming. Like, if she doesn't take it every day, at exatcly the same time, she says it feels like her brain is "shaking." terrible stuff.
 
you should try doing something creative... put all of yourself into a song/painting/film... whatever you want to make... i find that it helps a lot when im not feeling to sweet on life
 
yea man. im applying myself at organizing a bus from my college to whistler every weekend right now and starting to do some pre designs for a clothing company me and this pro snowboarder might start up. i find that when im doing things that require effort i don't think about bad things at all and i work up an appetite.
