depression is 'Ã la mode' right now, it's almost in to have a little depression.
i met very few people who actually had a REAL depression, meaning for more than a couple of months.
people to often feel sad for a little while, which is very normal, and right away, they want to get pills because theyre convinced to have a depression...

I'm not ''clinically'' depressed, but I am a very unhappy, dark indiviual. I think too much... that can never be a good thing.
And this is thinking/intelligent music... so it goes with the territory.

ive been pretty good, since goin on the zoloft, over a year ago.
but winter is the worst
when i first knew i was depressed, id come home from school, go to my room and cry. for no real reason. everything was just horrible. but in real life everything was fine.
my mom dragged my ass to a doc, and got me on zoloft (depression runs heavily in my family, so she recognized it).
anyways... yeah.
im alot better, but sometimes i get my moments...

Depression can be genetic.
I know a mate who's family line has manic depressants in it, and he used to be on various chemicals.

I look like a goth sometimes, what with my very black hair and VERY light skin, and I'm a gloomy morbid bastard with Goth-y tendencies, but I'm not one of those over the top ''I'm so different because I dress like all the other Goths'' Goths.
I'm just depressed, and it's going to take a lot more than a fucking GIRL to fix this... I envy people who just need a bitch to make them content.

id say, if you cry for no reason, if alls you think is bad thoughts about the world and yourself, and nothing really makes you happy, you sleep alot, eat little... then id say there is a good chance you have depression.
and it needs to be in periods longer then like a month or 2.
unless you have manic depression... and then its a different story. with manic depression you have you lows... and boy are they low, you seriously want to kill yourselve, but them you have highs, and you are the happiest most energetic person alive
and it goes back and forth
if you have any doubts... go see someone. its hard i know... my mom had to practically drag me to the doctor. i just didnt want to deal with it. like whats the point. but luckly my mom is one tough cookie. :)

so even if ur like "whats the point" now.... u would not regret going to a doctor? it actually changes ur mind?
cus now i dont see how i could change.. everyones like: "get motivated, stupid!"
...which really does not help but i dont really want to try to be motivated
so anyways... what im saying is: are you saying that: thats how u felt and it changed?

the difference from what i was before i was on meds and how i am now is like night and day.
sure, im still a pesimist and kinda antisocial etc... but not to the point where it cripples me, and i feel like it can only get worse and worse.
i used to not hang out with my friends when theyd call, and id make up some excuse, cause really i just was so depressed alls i wanted to do was stay in my room, and sleep/cry
i wouldnt even laugh at my favorite tv shows

well, thanks
this actually has been helpful... since nobody knows anything about depression... they dont even seem to know it exists
i cant really talk about it w/ my friends.... they'd probably call me 'gay' and thats that
but if the difference is as geat as u say.... then ill definitely consider it more seriously

yes, its very hard.
the biggest step, is goin to the doctor.
and its a big step. you want to put it off. you want to forget about it.
my mom schedualed the apointment for me, so i was lucky in that sense.
if you dont have someone doin it... i suggest this..
just go get the phone book, and put it in an open spot...
thats it for now... just go get out the phone book.
put it on your bed or something.
somewhere that you cant ignore.
after that... you gotta open to the pyshiatrist page
then, finally, call and make an appointment.
but man, if you are depressed, you owe it to yourself to try and fix it

I'm generally quite happy now, due to a lot of things- music, friends, but in the past i've been quite down, but i feel like that is something i've came past..it's always possible to feel little reminders and similiar feelings from time to time, and i have, but i don't see it coming on as extreme as that again
