Do you suffer from depression?

I use to manage depression, listening musiq, playing violen and i like chocolates, and i feel i get refreshed after having my chocolates. And best remedy is Meditation, try breathing exercise, it will help you balance and handle depression.

There are lots of people that suffered from depression and I’m one of them. I have it for years now and I don’t think that I can totally snap out of it. Years, back I feel exactly the same as you do. I sleep a lot and the feeling of hopelessness and emptiness are always there. Sometimes, I tell my self that if I sleep, I will not wake up anymore. But I’m still alive, lol. Right now I’m bit okay, I still think of taking my own life but tried my best not to. I know I can do it. Having someone that depends on me helps me a lot and my dog is there to give me unconditional love.

I have had depression for most of my life. I take Effexor and as long as I take it like I should it helps me a great deal. Forcing myself to go out and to interact with other people helps too. It is not easy and it definitely helps if you have a good support system. My husband is awesome with me. He makes sure I don't just hide from the world. Writing in my journals can be a big stress reliever for me as well. Just being able to pour everything our can sometimes make me feel better. After I am done I just close the book. I don't sit there and dwell on it. I have also just started therapy again for the first time in years. We'll see how that goes.

Hi there. I suffer from severe depression and social anxieties. It is no fun. I spent two years in bed basically. I took a medical leave from work and ended up taking an early retirement. The medication does atleast balance you out. I would hate to be without it. It is a serious illness that people who do not have it will not take seriously. You must do all you can to stay above the dark line that draws you down. Every comedy, every friendship, every hobby is utilized.

I agree with you. Depression is very bad. I used to have it so badly that i tried to kill myself. And almost succeeded i flatlined in the ICU at the hopital but the doctors were able to save me. The medicine that i was given for depression did not work. In fact that is what i used to try and kill myself. I think you just need to find a really good psychologist to talk to. I talked to a few that did no good but then i found a really good one. I only talked to her a few times and i felt much better. Good luck!

Okay I suffer from anxiety and I think that well. I for stress we so much drama in our life plus school and relatiomships that it gets us worried and make up get nervous and we get anxiety. Depression I think is because we think to hard on the world and all of the bad things that happening and its just make us feel like there is no control and happiness so we get deppressed and eating disorders is because of the image we have in this day and age in society we have so many thing taughting us about our body that is make it feel horable and we try to make them perfect. Hope it helps...

I suffer from depression and have for many years. I think the only way i will ever be able to truly overcome my depression is to deal with the main things in my life that has caused it. I tried medication, i have been on so many different ones i can't remember the name of half of them. They helped very little. The last ones i was on only made me angry, so i gave up on taken them. Since i have quit taken them i am emotionally fine and i only think that is because i have come to terms with a lot of things in my life that cause my depression. Also i went through a great therapy program to help with some of the mental issues i was suffering from.

You are not alone. I suffer from depression and on meds to help me, I keep a journal and compare my days, when some days look really bad and I go back to read what I have wrote there have been moments that were wonderful and i just didn't see it at the time. i seen a counslor every week and that helps me to. Don't give up there is help out there just have to find what works best for you. GOOD LUCK.
