Depression

Agent Smith

This is a Personal Issue i'd Like to share...


Recently, Lifes been dealing me a few bad hands, and ever so-often i just like terriable,

I come from a good Family, I have a Nice house and (almost) everything i could ever want or need is provided for me. But ever so often, i just feel depresssed for no reason what so ever.( That i know of)

i like to think that i have confidance in Things... But lately things that shouldnt be getting me down, are just leaving me down right depressed.

Before anyone Shouts out " go to a shrink", I've seen one, when i had my Accident in 2002, it was helpfull*



*(its one of the Best feelings In the World being able to talk about your Problems to a total stranger, no matter how Bizzare they are)

This is More of a Personal Issue to me, rather then a Request for help or advice....


Anyways,

Joe

Hmm , Maybe this might be a start then ? This girl your see-ing maybe ask yourself how does she make you feel about yourself ? Do you look forward to seen her or just see it more of a rountine these days ?

We all get depressed from time to time dude, I find myself getting this way alot more lately but it's because I've just finished college, just came out of a four year relationship and I'm kind of scared about what lies ahead. I was in a serious accident in 2003 in which some of my friends died. If you want to talk just drop me a PM.

Best of luck buddy

Hey there,

Lots of people will tell you that "we all get depressed at times" and whilst they mean well, they haven't a clue what they're talking about. We don't all get depressed sometimes. People get fed up and have bad days but depression, as some people on here will know very well, is a different animal and it definitely can't be cured by "appreciating the good times more" when they happen. It doesn't work that way!

Having a love-life or not having one has nothing to do with being depressed and if you've been to see a therapist then you'll know that there's no point in looking to other people to make you happy. You have to look inside yourself first. My advice (and what has helped me out in the past) is firstly not be afraid of feeling down. Sometimes you just have to let it happen before you can come out the other side. Often recognising the feeling is a good first step to helping yourself fee better. If you really don't know what the root cause of your low times is then I'd suggest going to see someone who is equipped to help you find out. Whatever you do, don't let it escalate into not being able to get out of bed in the morning to face the world. Trust me, I know that from first-hand experience it's a much harder climb to top of the hill from that place.

On a brighter note though, it sounds like you're suffering from, at worst, a very mild form of depression and getting out and about with good friends, taking time and space for yourself when you need it, and simply trying to live the life you want to might just help pull you out of that place. Don't beat yourself up over it though - depression doesn't discriminate on the basis of wealth, social standing or martial status - it can affect anyone.

Do you feel a bit empty spiritually? Maybe your 'nice' life is making you feel guilty. Charity work is one of the most fulfilling things you can do; are there any old folks homes, or after school centres near where you live?
