Depression

[Tamagirl_Desy]

This is a mature discussion on depression, if you're depressed, advice on how to feel happier, and to simply talk about how you're feeling.

PLEASE; No immature/rude posts. This is a sensible and mature discussion, and to avoid silly/offensive replies I've placed this topic in Seriously (Non) Tamatalk.

Thanks.

Well, I'm so glad that I have a good life. But when I just feel down in the dumps, I draw.

Thats just the best way to get rid of stress, do something you love more then anything else in the world.

I ussually feel depressed when I'm lying down thinking about my family and friends that I haven't seen for a long time. I just pray they know I love them and hope they remember me and things like that.

Eh, I don't have depression but sometimes I just feel so low.

I know I shouldn't- I have everything I need and everything I want but sometimes I'm just down in the dumps. :/ It's hard to pick myself up sometimes... The other sunday I was just not happy- nothing made me mad or sad or anything it was just kind of a bored dispair and I feel bad for that effecting my family [the worst part V.V].

Currently I'm feeling pretty good though- thank goodness! ^^

 

[**UrItChI**]

I've been depressed before.

In fact, I kinda still am...

I'm taking an Antidepressant, but I need advice now.

I always feel sad and worried.

(AKA Anxiety leading into Depression.)

And to anyone out there who's ever felt depressed,

Know that one day, you'll feel as good as gold.

Advice is greatly appreciated to me right now.

Thanks.

If your sad and depressed, just remember all the people who love you and are your friends and things like that. Think of why you are feeling sad, and if someone was feeling the same thing what would you tell them to do to cheer up? You only live life once so better make the best of it. Just think of things that make you feel good and get them to help you keep going.

I have been depressed for a looong time, since I was pretty young. I have learned to cope with my pain -.- Knowing that you have no one that cares about you (Not even your parents x.x only on Rare occasions) Best thing to help me cope with it is just trying to be happy despite the pain (Oh yeah that REALLY works <.< Makes people hate me even more) or play a Fighting game to take my anger off on my brother by beating the snot out of his character

Yeah thats what I do, 20% of the time it works <.<

I can be depressed sometimes... I've had a really really hard time the past 2 weeks and about 2 weeks before that I was all depressed for like a month. I keep smiling but sometimes it hurts so much inside. I'm so sick of feeling all bad. I'm trying my hardest to move on (my bf and i just broke up and he was my first REAL bf... I loved and love him so much....)

 

I get all anxious and I am the "Dear Abby" of my friends so i get all wrapped up in the drama.... it all builds up inside of me and one day it just breaks and I have a break down. I have litterally gotten sick from all of that.

 

A lot of times i'm just really sad....

I've been depressed in evry part of life. and to make matters worse,no friends to heal the pain. I envy you. and anyody else whose had friends to help them in life.

I'm Bipolar, therefore I have experienced depression. It's no fun, but one way I coped with it was to do something physical, like I'd play soccer, that kept my mind off of the depression. The manic state is worse, but that's another story. Anyway, just try and get some exercise. As much as you want to curl up in bed eating jelly beans, it won't help.

I am depressed right now. My friends are calling me a baby, foureyes, and brace face. I am so mad! And everyone is making fun of me! I am so sad!

 

[Bubba28]

I used to have depression o.o

Thats the first time ive ever mentioned it on here...

It wasnt that long ago... I only had it for a few months, and luckily I had help for it

 

[Tamagirl_Desy]

Right now, I am depressed......not deeply, it's just that I always have this sadness in me; and it hurts.

I smile and laugh everyday, pretending everything is ok. But it's not. I am only hiding behind a mask.

Everyone is. No one is really happy. I don't think there is such a thing as happliy ever after or true happiness. Though there is no such thing as saddness ever after or true saddness. Emotions change. That's life.

Well, I am currently quite happy.

When I was younger I used to get quite sad because I had no friends, and I had that feeling that no one wants to be with you (being left out).

Now I have some very nice friends, and things are smiling more my way than they used to, so I guess I am entering a stage where I am allowed to be happy.

Still, I still have my small worries and manias, but now I know 'better' of how to fight them back, or to push them to the back of my mind.

Last year, I think I had something real close to depression. Sometimes, I get real depressed.

But lately, I've been better. It helps tons to have friends and talk and do fun stuff.

But now, when I still do get depressed, I write it down. It helps lots.

[TigerLily013]

Before 2007 started I was depressed off and on regarding how much I was missing my best friend. We'd talk a lot for so many years and we were unable to be torn apart. He's going on with life now, has his own place and fiancee. I'm happy for him but I miss his company a lot since I don't have too many close friends besides him. He's been awesome though letting me call him and check up on him. I think I'll call and see how he's doing today

 

[Anime girl]

Lol i rememer when i was really depressed...

I had no idea why I was. o.o I felt like nobody loved

me, and like my bf didn't really love me either. <.<

But yet I was really up-beat and happy at school. So nobody knew.

And at times it can drive you crazy...But in other words

just think happy thoughts, just think of all the good

things in your life and be happy about it. :]

Sometimes I cry alone at night for no reason too. :[

I don't know why- I really don't have anything to cry about but I just feel all sad inside occasionaly.
