Everyone suffers from it every once in a while. Gaming helps lift my moods if it's only a slight case of it but a lot of the times, if i'm depressed, I don't feel like doing anything at all. You'll never catch me using something like Prozac though cause I feel like most people don't really need to be popping pills. They are usually just trying to be run away from the problem that makes them depressed. There are people who do suffer from a mental disorder that actually will need pills but most people don't.

I take Lexapro and some anti-psychotic/mood stabilizer for my depression. If only I took the other pill earlier than before bed. It's supposed to be for my sleeping problems, but it works better than the Lexapro sometimes. Of course, nothing really ever keeps the feelings from being there. Meh.

Hey, sorry if I'm cauusing some concern over the knives comment, I could see it was a joke, it really lightened the mood and everytime I see your picture, I burst into laughter, depression, what depression, hee hee, Sharpening knives indeed, that must appeal to the Celtic blood inside me as it grand.
Hey, thank you for talking so openly about your meds, its amazing how many people are too ashamed to talk about them, I have been on many, but off them now, the only thing that helped was sleeping tablets as my depression ususally keeps me awake all night and that is when I play games, so the two are so linked I cannot think of one without the other, and now my doc wont prescribe more, oh well looks like my nighttime antics are going to rocket.!!!!

Totts :
Well. Them medications are keeping me from exploding in a frenzy of nervous depression. My medications help me stay off the markers. Okay, joke aside, my medications are very important to me since before I began being medicated for my depression, I was suicidal, and even had plans on running away from home. I was a mess. I don't want such a mess to be me again. Depressed laughter? Hmmm... Waahee waahee waahee. I'm not the most upbeat person you'll meet, even if you weren't referring to me, but I am always happy to make a little joke. I like to make people smile, and laugh. If I'm not able to be like the people I make laugh, why not make people laugh? What truly matters is what you did, not what you made, after all. I have tons of sleeping issues due to my ADHD. I have bad ADHD, and I also have Asberger's. I don't mind having so much wrong with me, but it gets annoying. I have a problem with speaking and can't pronounce many words. I also have a hearing hypersensitivity that makes it hard on me when it comes to daily life. I want to be a metal musician as a little hobby thing, and well... You know what good hearing means for that. I use comedy, gaming, and art to help me through my problems. I've been practicing growled vocals are months, as I like death metal, and I feel somewhat happier since I started. It seems to get all the crap out of my system. I don't know why. It's like when I had so much anger, and I was cured by death metal. Death metal is pretty much my therapy. I also have a second family, which really helps me, on the game Runes of Magic. It's a mercenary type of clan, but we all love eachother. About my night time antics. Just going online, and gaming. Meh. I don't understand why one would be ashamed of being on medications, as half the world is on them now. Well. Them medications are keeping me from exploding in a frenzy of nervous depression.

I have, in the past, I have had problems with Cronic Depression and had to take medicine for it for a year, but recently I haven't had a whole lot of trouble with Depression, and whenever I do I try to find constructive ways of dealing with it. (Like blowing the heads off of never ending Zombies!) |

I've been diagnosed with depression. Most of my family has a mental disorder. I've taken Prozac. I've been a cutter. I almost committed suicide. I've had therapists since I was in 4th grade. Now though, I'm happy.
I've found a good balance. I'm not taking anything for depression, I haven't seen a therapist since March. I'm in a happy loving healthy relationship. Sure I have moments of stress and unhappiness but in general I am very happy now. It was mostly the fact that I'm more comfortable with myself now. And I'm not in a constant state of stress anymore. I'm much more laid back now and it helps tons. So yeah. Thats me in a nut shell. PS. I used to sell knives. I've found a good balance.

I have suffered from depression in the past. It seemed like everything bad that could possibly happen to me always would, and it would just make me feel awful. I've never had to take medication or had any therapy before. I usually just sit there and think about everything until the feelings gone. Sometimes games help, sometimes not. But ever since I met my fiance I've had a lot less feelings of depression because she always puts me in a good mood when she's around.
Oh by the way, I have three swords. So instead of sharpening knives, I sharpen swords. Oh by the way, I have three swords. So instead of sharpening knives, I sharpen swords. |

Gosh, all this talk of knives, think I will get myself some, hust for those special ocassions when I get really depressed, hold on.......that don't kinda sound right....... but then again having a few knives around for those desperate times of the night.....okay scrap that one, if you could all donate me one knife from your...... yeah I am not making this easy on myself, anyone got a shovel!! and thats another story.
Thanks again guys for opening up, I find it takes much courage, yesterday was a bit of a downer for me, so reading all your comments really cheered me up big time and reminded me why I love this site and you guys so much, I beleive it take sreal confidence and courage to come on here and say what you do and share your lives, medications, relationships and stuff.

I totally think that anyone on this site who suffers should come on to this thread and share their expreinces with us so we can comment and help them, with advice and such, some of us may be doctors, others may be lay people, but none of us can perscribe anyhting thats for their doctor all we can do is suggest but take no legal responsibility for any advice we give out, gosh could you imagine if people could really do that and all te times when we have said... take a running jump off a short...... could you imagine if they did and they hurt themself or if we said "Buddy go F%^K Yourself" and they did and then tried to sue us for sexual assualt like assisted rape, the mind boggles but then again so does the law, politicans suck, well some do when drinking through a straw.

I actually struggle with many forms of self-harm... I try to stop, but it always comes back to me. I'm practically addicted, but my mom will not believe me because I have only a few marks. Not really a good thing to say to someone who's wanting help, no? I've gotten deeper into my skin just because of those comments. Not for attention, but for help. Until I found out that Children Services would take me away if I got stitches. Now I despise Children Services, and my mom uses them to scare me.
I wish I never got myself into this. .-. Now I'm stuck with withdrawal and finding whatever way I can to get my fix. My therapist would take my medication away if I told him about my problem, just because they have side effects. Without those medications, I could do worse than I already do to myself. I am ashamed of this, but now... I don't see a point in hiding it. My mom is scared to death everytime she checks me. I fear myself and can't get away from the highs a feeling of pain gives. *head desk* My mom's used threats to take my door away, scaring me out of the crap(yeah, sorry, only works if I wasn't addicted), and even just using her classic leg pain tales. God. I love her, but I'm to the point where she's basically feeding the fire. She never believes me. She just wants to help, when she could listen to me for just one minute at best. She just makes comments that make things worse when I tell her this crap. Remember kids, don't make Klawed's mistakes. Make smarter ones. Now stress... I have severe anxiety, so I sorta am just a walking nerve ready to explode. I wish I never got myself into this. .-. Now I'm stuck with withdrawal and finding whatever way I can to get my fix. My therapist would take my medication away if I told him about my problem, just because they have side effects. Without those medications, I could do worse than I already do to myself. I am ashamed of this, but now... I don't see a point in hiding it. My mom is scared to death everytime she checks me.

My god, I am so humbled to be in the presence of you guys, you are all so amazing and all so beautiful, its as if each one of you has been touched and created by god himself (and before you say it, no I am am not some sort of crazed god nut, god can be anyone or anything you you, earth, buddha, what ever) I am so deeply touched again by your honesty and openness my heart goes out to each and every one of you, I love you guys.
Its with much sympathy I read your last few postings guys, sympathy and empathy as in there go I and not pity like those patronising docs and some parents are. But lets not forget there are also good parents and docs out there too, friends and loved ones who want to help us, sometimes we are not in a position to accept their help due to our mental state and other times we are not ready to receive it to. My friend no longer cuts, its been 10 years, her scars are so deep that even if she ws to do it today she would not feel it, and can I say she scared the crap out of me when she told me the difference between cutting your wrists to self harm and cry for help and to kill yourself (which I wont post here as the moderators respect the fact that I am a sensitive and caring poster, who although honest and chritian catholic decent Irish I am not irresponsible, just refer to my and comment on my herpes posts for evidence) I am suggesting that here we can share a little of our hearts and souls. Try this instead of cutting yourself, post on this thread, dont say unless you reply I will cut myself, thats your issue not mine and anyone elses, I want you to know the only person who decides what to do is you, you have a choice I want to empower you, you can decide what to do, heck post here and tell us first and then see how you feel after, I am not your mum, I want to let you know that someone is reading your posts, we al are. And guys, show some respect, even if it is to post your support with online, let a sufferer know you care. Depression is too scary a topic for eveyone, it affects 1 in 4 of us though thats like a quarter of the population. Thats huige and yet its all in the mind, people cannot see it so they ignore it, including the suffers themselves.

Totts : I know someone will read my post and think, "God. What a nut. Just get help!"
The problem is... In America, Children Services is kinda crackheaded in some areas. Here in Ohio, a child who lived in a meth lab was left to suffer just because there was little more than a meth lab in front of them. I've always had distane for the service since that story. I respect them, but they ruin lives, take nothing out of what is deadly, and don't even think a child in a meth lab who saw his brother get his head cracked open is hard evidence. If getting help was simple, I'd do it, but it's not. It's just a huge hole with some benefits. I could be wrong. The problem is, I don't wanna ask if I am. My anger towards Children Services is big enough, I plan to write a song about it, and even compose it to people just in hopes of them knowing the services isn't all good. I like your friend. She sounds evil enough. /joke While we're on this topic. Time to post something that my favorite black metal vocalist did that was funny... He was depressed, so it's on topic! He hated cats, you see... Well... He lived with guys who owned them in the house that the band Mayhem owned... Here's a funny story. "Dead also couldn't stand cats, just hated them. I lived with them and I remember how one night some cat didn't let us sleep. Dead grabbed a huge knife and rushed out of the house undressed to cut him down. The cat jumped into bushes, but when it got out of there, Dead dashed off after it snarling and brandishing with a knife." Think about seeing a man running around in his boxers chasing a cat all over Oslo, Norway. That would hilarious to see. Now if he saw a furry dressed as a cat... Good Lord. No. He'd be in prison before he could die. I love the hilarious stories about this man. He may have been extremely depressed but... Him when he was in Morbid. Hahaha. I use metal to deal with my problems more healthily. The problem is... In America, Children Services is kinda crackheaded in some areas.

Okay. More depression! Yum yum. Joking aside, meh. This person is curious. May as well give the goods. Besides, I don't have any point in hiding what I have become anymore since it's obvious enough that something is going on in my head that's not good if you can notice my anger is really a facade to keep people away from me. I don't like people much in real life. I don't hate humanity, but I don't like it much. I'd rather be a cat if I had to choose what I could be. I can't, so whatever. Suicide cults are anywhere. They're wrong, but meh. I doubt depression isn't how the cults start. For example, the black metal vocalist Dead was a cutter who believed cutting was an expression of evil. He was cutting for the evil factor. He made comments on other people who seemed evil because they cutted, but he was just that guy who stood in the background, and maybe gave a dark humored quip every now and then. Even his suicide note was just this sentence, "Excuse all the blood." A member of the band Emperor or Celtic Frost attempted suicide on stage in the 90's. Okay. Now I'm making extreme metal seem like some suicide cult. The thing is, some stuff just happens. There's people with tons of screws loose in the head that are bound to do this stuff. I like black metal, and enjoy reading about the 90's wave, but I'm not likely to do anything that the guys of that scene did. I like death metal, and enjoy gorey lyrics, but I'm not violent. I have a dark sense of humor, sure, but I would never kill a human. I enjoy the dark side of life, and I'm actually not like it utterly. I like that side of life because the bright side has bored me. I'm still enjoying life if I enjoy the dark side, no? This thread disturbs me a bit, but I may as well just give the goods, like I said. I hate suicide cults, but I know things happen, as well. Okay.

Lets not get carried away, if the doctors thought that depression groups led to suicide cults then the millions that they sponsor all around the world would close tommorrow.
Lets get this in perspective, not all depressives cut themselves (yes my friend is pretty cool (thank you the poster who said this). But some do and they have every right to come here and discuss their problems. p.s. you dont if you choose to, to start cutting yourself to prove that you are depressed, there are more painful options that cause now harm, one friend crushed ice in her hand, said it was da biz. p.s. for safety measures always make sure you wear gloves beofore doing this to prevent frost bite (LOL) Lets get this in perspective, not all depressives cut themselves (yes my friend is pretty cool (thank you the poster who said this).
