Have you ever been depressed in life ? If so..

You are right, depression comes in when the things doesn't work my ways. Sometimes I have tried to do or have some things in my life in which I think I was selfish but never realized it that early so got depressed. It is really hard to get over the depression once I am in it, but understanding myself helps me. I have to control my life to live it in a happy way.

Hi Kiran! There are many occasions when I feel depressed perhaps because of the fact that am sensitive. Whenever I feel down and out, I try to distract my mind to some other activities or simply go for a stroll (if possible). To lie down and take some rest with closed eyes also helps. Sometimes I resort to deep breathing, when I feel upset. I find that indulging myself in other activities helps and gradually I am able to overcome my depressing feelings. I think many of us feel depressed during different stages and feels that no one is able to understand ourselves or no one cares for us.

I have had ups and downs in life and a few disappointments too but luckily I have not had a clinical depression or so. People who have been clinically diagnosed to haVE a depression normally are advised medicines.

I envy you being so positive. I have had depression all my life. I was diagnosed with severe depression with panic attacks in 2004. Just think about living in a world just the polar opposite of what you live in now. Total negative and depressed on a nearly daily basis. I take medication for it and I would hate to live without the meds. I live with stress and it is no fun. My daughter is bi-polar and my grandson is ODD. It is just a matter of make it a day at a time. I wish it were as easier as #1's response. Depression is alot deeper than that.

I think I may have depression right now. I haven't been to a doctor just yet. I just received health insurance, and I am looking for a new doctor. The past two, three years have been rough, with all kinds of things piling up at once, with the climax of it coming last year with everything seem to fall apart at once. The events of 2011 have made it difficult to come out of it, especially since a lot of it carried into 2012. In 2011, I dealt with unemployment, losing my apartment, being kicked out of school, having no income, getting sick, and though I wasn't dating her, being blindsided by a person who I liked with her lies. 2012, I am dealing with fighting my way back into school, a crummy job situation, moving back with my parents (which by the way is not a positive environment to begin with), a fighting a uphill legal battle. I am not sure how to cope with any of this. I don't have much of a support system, and I learned the hard way who my friends are in a time of need. So I am treating all of this from scratch. The first thing I am doing is go to a doctor while I have insurance, to see how much damage I have done to myself. My health assessment I did for my insurance provider said I need to take care of the mental issues first. I had one other bad point in my life, and that was when my dad passed away. It wasn't so much that he passed away, but I had to authorize taking him off life support. I couldn't sleep for weeks afterwards. I was feeling like a murderer, trying to justify what I did to myself for weeks. Eventually it just came to me one day, and I was feeling better afterwards. But this situation, I need help reversing this sinking ship.

ghost ride on my body and press me tightly for many hours in my dreams and i feel helpless. my dreams were very dangerous. i was prescribe deswal er 250 libotryp p and szetalo 10 mg one tab each at night. my dream gone. but now above medicines showing me illusion dreams. what to do. if i stop medicines then dreams are more dangerous

I went to a naturopathic doctor. He taught me to figure out what was going on in my body, what made me happy, unhappy etc., and to focus on the things that made me feel happy, healthy, etc.

Every person face problem of depression in their life. But person with strong determination get out of it in shore period. But some person will take enough time and in some case they will never get out from it.

very often i get depressed for petty things and even silly things and i wonder about it all the time,its inevitable for all

hi there, good, i think that many people and almost everyone got depressed to a few limits i guess yani becaue this speedy life is really have some things that you need to be strong to get it. and live in this time of life and people also so

Hi KiranG- No, depression is not the right word for me, not in my case particularly. You can call it disappointment at the most but for a very short span of time. I have gone through so many such moments in my life being a marketing professional but I was trained to counter such moments. In case of experiences of life, these are part of the life and should be tackled that way. Maybe a few hours or even minutes and I am back on track. I have a punching bag in my personal room to make me free out of such problems. Cheers.

It is a normal to feel depress, we are humans. In times like this, I used to divert myself to something and be productive.

We each have our own share of problems which sometimes lead to depression but since we are individually different from one another, coping with it differs too. As for me, I've been depressed a lot of times. Big time or just a simple depression that would only make me feel low for a short time. Depression hit me badly about 6-7 years back then. Good thing I still have my family to depend on and they embraced the whole of me no matter what had happened. A good support group helps one overcome depression easily.

I was very depressed as a teenager partly because I was being bullied. I'm not sure how I got out of it I just did. The bullying stops and I grew older and stronger. It was a difficult time but I'm glad I went through it because its made me the person I am today.
