For those of you who are depressed...

Does everyone in your life know about it?  Have you tried to get help?  Does anything work?

If you hide it, how do you hide your depression?

 

[Sinon]

A few people close to me know, outside of them I keep it hidden. I used to see a counsellor, but he was terrible and stupid, so I stopped. Medication made me feel worse, so I stopped that, too.

Oh well.

Been there. Did that. Got through it. Twice.

What worked for me the first time through. when I had some serious heart problems. The second time... nothing worked but time, but it was a totally different situation.

1. Flush the damned pills down the toilet, tell the head shrinker there's suddenly an opening on their appointment books for somebody they might really be able to help, and never look back.

2. Found a part time job. It wasn't much of a job, but it was a reason to get up, throw some water on my face, get dressed and show up.

3. Told the "negatively charged" friends who were feeding the depression to go bother somebody else for awhile.

4. Planted a garden. It wasn't much of a garden, I still Do Not Have a 'green thumb', but it was a few tomatoes, some peppers, and a zucchini that tried to take over the entire yard.

And in a few months, I noticed I wasn't depressed any more.

I can't say I'm suffering from full on depression, but a form of it. My mom has to know I'm slightly depressed because I just yelled and cried at her on the phone about it, but I don't think anyone else knows. I think part of it stems from my ongoing anxiety.

the first step into conquering your depression is to get to the root of it and then move on from there...

i know a few people that are depressed, and sometimes they don't know why, trying to pinpoint what's going on or what's wrong is a vital part of entering the way towards recovery...

Trying to pinpoint that is difficult and many times requires the intervention of a professional who deals with depression and other mental health conditions on a daily basis.

that's very true...

every first step is the hardest...

but once you go pass that first step don't give up until you reach recovery in your mind...

I know the reason for mine and I'm trying to work through it, but no luck so far.

just be strong, i'm sure it'll resolve sooner rather than later...

Things have been going pretty good in my life lately so its hard to be depressed. I have been down in the dumps and depressed for long periods of time though so I can relate. Some times life gets stagnant and stale feeling... Thats when its time to shake things up and do something drastic to make yourself feel alive again.

No, No, Booze & Music

Yea I hide it, My mum once told me. If you don't snap out of it, I will personally take you to (the nearest) mental home.

Yea thanks mum, cheers for you help.

Ever since then I've told no one. I've done tests online (proper ones not stupid games) they come up Medium to clincal depression.

I know what my problem is, It's happened I can not change the past, but I don't know how to leave it behind. It is always there, one step ahead of me, haunting me, blocking and ruining my relationships.
My best friends don't even know what the problem is they just know I feel down alot, I don't think they even realise the severity.

I have attempted suicide in the past. It wasn't a cry for help because there was no-one listening. but now I do want to live. I want this ****ing curse out of my life, but I know I will always have to live with the filthy, heatbreaking, dirty, bretrayal that can only come from a 'loved one' bollocks to that, ****ing prick.

Sorry, I hate him. HATE! Makes me so angry.
