i'm trying my best to help a girl i know feel better, she went through harsh depression and was into cutting..i'm sure completely she can only fix things herself, but i will try to the best of my abilities..It's strange though, it's like we're in two different worlds in the mood thing, like i used to feel that way to a degree, now i'm fine, but it's like i'm entering a world i remember somewhat, and trying to still remain safe..zeus, i'm glad you've been taking steps, i wish you the best man :)

I think I have that SAD thing, Social Anxiety Disorder... in fact, I DEFINITELY have it, no doubt. I'm almost happy being miserable, though... :-) :-(

zeus, yeah, it's strange too since she's 15 and i'm 18, but i can relate to her still, she seems a bit more mature (though she's still quite silly in ways) than most girls..she likes radiohead too, haha, which is cool..I think i used to have some sort of anxiety disorder or still do, i used to go to school in grade 8 and 9 and every morning pretty much, be quite sick, and then i think i started worrying about the fact that i might be sick at school, which probably made it worse..i hated that

acctually its seasonal affective disorder.
it means during winter you get very depressed, and in summer, you are mostly happy.
i dont know why though....
but as far a social... im kinda anti social... and i get panic attacks alot when in large crowds...

oh, and a good thing to do...
exercise... move about... do stuff
its hard when you are really depressed... but if you can get into it, it helps alot
me and my dad made a pact this summer to get in shape and work out.
we do it everyday. weights one day, cardio the next, and so on
i feel alot better and more confident.
1. becasue exercise releases endorphines that make you happy
2. because i look better, and feel better about myself.

I thought SAD was Social Anxiety Disorder... I definitely have THAT. Well, either way, you've made me cry and I'm off to hang myself. :_-(

Is depression contagious? Does hanging around depressed people make you depressed? Is there a psychological virus?

I don't, I'm not bragging about it, but I am an exception to your theory. I sometimes sit and listen to records just staring at the wall, but I've never really suffered from any kind of serious depression.

i've had clinical depression since childhood but wasn't diagnosed until recently, i'm now 25 and just started Celexa, an antideppresant, and Zyprexa, an antipsychotic, 6 months ago. These make a world of difference for me. I can do things now that I couldn't before such as feel more comfortable around people.

I spend my days in rumination thinking about what could have been... Chewing on shadows. It's like an great black buzzard on my back, flapping and spitting, squawking nasty things in my ears and digging it's talons into my shoulders.
We need to stick together lads!

suffering from 'depressive illness' for 8 years i guess its never gonna go away
ive seen 6 psychiatrists 3 councellors
ive taken 6 different anti-depressants i was on chlorpromazine*** (major tranquilizer) for 4 years i have also had ECT 6 times and also takes lithium twice
i have also been sectioned twice (urgh)
its a killer, i grant you that
i dunno really what to say excpet it DOES get better although i'm hardly an advertisement for complete recovery
i really don't usually share this shit with anyone but i guess if anyone learns anything from what i've said then its been worth it
i don't wanna say too much more but i only hope that this community can bring like minded people together to share their experiences in the hope that we will all eventually figure out what exactly is really going on in 'our' world
stay together people, all is not lost

I don't have a depression. I'm 25 years old, doing a research degree and trying to find a nice part time job too, while I feel like I'm floating over time and I can't change dat. I'm mostly very freakin' tired... anyway...

I'm depressed because I think about how fucked and trash the world is and become very sad, and I become angry at most of the people I meet because they are such fucking lame idiots that have no idea how trite their bullshit is. Most of the people I've met here are not like that however, guess thats why I've been spending so much time here as of recently... I don't really know if this qualifies as being clinically depressed, i doubt it, but I have felt this way for more than a couple of months tho so who knows?

clinical depression is a physical phenomenon, not mental. if you're not clinically depressed, just down because of circumstance and you take the antidepressant i'm on it will have no effect on you. just a factoid for ya.
