deppression sucks, but the only way to get over it is to get up and do somethin bout it, you cant lay around and feel sorry for yourself


'Tis true. However, easier said than done. The lethargy that often rides piggyback on depression, at its worst, makes it virtually impossible to do anything worthwhile.

For many of us, there's not a lot to do about it. The depression will continue to return periodically our whole lives.


i have problems with depression, you cant let it control you, or you might as well give up, if you cant control it on your own u need to get to the docter and get some meds, ive been on and off medication and it works wonders


I wouldn't say it controls me. It hits bad from time to time, sometimes more or less frequently than other times. I control it by thinking positively, taking my mind off things, reminding myself that others suffer worse than I do. Eventually it passes and I return to my regular state.

I don't know, this may sound peculiar to you, it may sound like I put myself through a lot of hell in this way. I'm just desribing to you my way of dealing with it. I do this because I don't trust medication, never have, and I think society's answer to everything is to prescribe, prescribe, prescribe, just my opinion.


yea i do the same, but sometimes it gets to where you cant control it on your own, everyone is different, i also hate medication, i never stay on the stuff for more than a month


But..don't some of the meds take up to a month to work?

I've had depression for a far back as I can remember.Talking to me you would never know it.I try to sleep as much as possible so I don't have to think about my life.I'm not sad or feel like crying...I just don't have anything to look forward to.

does any 1 here have or ever had depression?


Yea I am a manic depressive and get anxiety sometimes that would probably rip your chest in half... The one thing I don't have though is a bad attitude towards others.. I read what you said to civilian joe and man did your true color come out fast..

You don't give a **** about anybody but yourself.. How do I know this? b/c you give a false representation of yourself to others in order to help perpetuate your career.. If you genuinely cared about people you wouldnt have brushed of Joe b/c he didn't know any better. Your role as a counselor is to relate and help untangle any hardships your "patient" has while being professional at all times.. If you have never been clinically depressed then how can you honestly say you understand how these other people feel? You can't.

Most people who are depressed in fact have nothing wrong with them. The problem is they care to much.. I know this might sound strange to you but think of it this way. The most creative people in this world are typically the most depressed.. It is their fine attention to detail and extreme sensitivity to the world around them that usually pushes their plate off of the table... Want an example?

Like I said at the top of this post.. I am a manic depressive. If it is one thing that hurts me it's knowing that your just shoveling dirt over what may be serious problems for some people. If anything you are more a cause then a solution for some peoples depression, and you do it for a career. Go write a book Mr. Freud/fraud and I hope you can sleep at night. It only proves you aren't human..
