What Happens During Your Depression?

July 26, 2008 5:48am CST
When you get depressed, what do you do, basically? When I am depressed, I start to cry, think that I'm useless and want to die. I don't nhurt myself, but I feel like I want to. When I think about getting a knife and slitting my wrists, though, something weird happens... My wrists start to hurt where I want to cut them, so, I never cut myself because I already feel the pain... Isn't that weird? Anywhoo,what happens when you get depressed? Do you get depressed frequently or not?

when i get depressed (about anything really) If i was downstairs I run upstairs and slam the door and go into my room (but can't lock it -.- lol) sometimes i sling soft stuff Oo because my comp is there so don't want to dmg it or got other electric stuff there -_-'. I cry bad and I feel like killing myself but i never do because i havnt got guts anyway. i get depressed and angry |: and i take my anger out on msn and when im not angry anymore i stop and tell them sorry Im upset at mo. that makes me only upset which means i need comforting. All i do is lay in bed crying trying to sleep in afternoon to get depression away and tries not to think bout the reason. I get depressed from people saying bad things bout me -.- lol.

yeah, when im talkede about rudely i get depressed. My friends can tell quite quickly, because im usually a happy person. when im depressed, i change completely. Most things make me depressed, like insolent people at school who have no heart for others.

Depends on what triggers it and the severity of it..I've been dealing with medium to severe depression since childhood and each bout/flare-up has been different in all honesty....

When depressed, one of the things you can do is find a friend with whom you can open up things and pour out your sentiments. Finding a hobby to keep you busy would also do the trick. Sometimes we also need this feelings to heal some emotional baggage we have been carrying for a long time. It is not weird to feel depressed. The weird thing is if you don't. But being depressed all the time is not good, we have to consult medical help in order to prevent any harm it will inflict on us.

Lots of stuff. I tend to be a much more cynical person. Sometimes it feels like I have two different people living inside of me. It's hard to try and fight these feelings, but it's next to impossible to get rid of them. I don't think the wrist pain is weird because I get that too.

When I am depressed I just sit and be very quiet... then I will start to think, I am useless, good for nothing and wanted to die... And then I will start to feel really down and then I'll be like that for a week... I dont think of hurting myself but I do want to die... Also, I only get depressed rarely

Most time, its my work..with ontime deliveries and work loads. I try to divert mind on music and i feel better. We need to manage depression, as it is part of life in busy world. But if we concentrate, we can manage it. I does it through my yoga, listening music and going out on vacation.

Well to start, I've had a really bad year and I am starting to feel better. I have been depressed for as long as I can remember, i guess since 13 or so. Anyway, I take meds for depression and will always take them. When I don't, I get really bad. What happens when I get depressed, I used to isolate myself really bad which is really bad, the worse thing you can do. Now I try to think of the things that are right in my life instead of the bad. And church helps, It has made me see what love is.
