Anyone else out there suffering from depression?

I just feel a bit down at the moment

Try a toaster waffle!

I am.. i am trying to figure out what god has intended for me and how
come i cant find any work yet

I have depression..I was actually born with it..its apart of my
disabilty..and it sucks..I have really bad mood swings with it and its
made me go off on people that I really cared about..they understood
tho..mostly

My toaster's broken.

I get alittle down from time to time that is when I ask for strenght
from Jesus

Yep. I got the same problem jeff.

I'm feeling down too.
I always feel pretty crappy.
But I don't wanna be this way forever...
So I'm just trying to find a way to make myself better.
Try to fix what's wrong and just try to be happy.
But it's definitely not easy...

i do, i posted a thread about it a couple of months ago..depending on
how bad yours is..dont wait, get help! its soooooooooooooooooo worth
it..i did and i see a difference a little already..will take time of
course though

I take lexapro 2 tablets aday 20 mg a tablet

I've taken lexapro..doesnt work for me

if you have a history of being violent dont take lexapro.....

yeah so what do you take around the holidays I take one welbutron that
is the hardest time for me is around christmas and new years

I am not violent but thanks for the advice Peg

I used to suffer from Depression....I think everyone does at one time or
another, in their life. I got out of it, with the help of God and also
some medication.........Don't need the meds now though.

I do have Anxiety........That I cannot control. It's generalized anxiety
and I plan on being off the pills at some point soon. It happened when
my ex left and I ended up in the hospital.

everyday is hard for me..they wanted to stick me in a mental ward some
years ago cuz i was talking about killin myself

I used to take welbutron

They wanted to try me on that too, Peg.......But it's also to help quit
smoking......Which is something else I need to do.

I know how you all feel......I've never wanted to kill myself, but there
have been many times where I wanted to just crawl up in a ball and
shrivel up.

With the discussion on different antidepressants: If the person actually
has some bipolar going on (manic/depression), an antidepressant (vs.
mood stabilizer med) will catapult them over the depression and into
mania. Also, people have to watch out when they first begin an
antidepressant as it lifts energy faster than it lifts mood. So if you
are suicidal, you finally have the energy to try to take your life, as
your mood as not caught up with the increased energy. Good luck. MJ
