Have You Ever Suffered From Sever Depression?

[EastLDNgyal]

have you?

how did you deal with it?

[FlashBack21]

It's spelled severely. The best way to deal with it is to go to a doctor if you can afford it. The doctor will most likely put you on anti-depressant drugs that will help you.

I'm still on meds and not coping very well. Living day to day mostly.

I would think severe depression has to be treated clinically. They say it's brought on by a chemical imbalance rather than just being sad about something.

But if it's just a person feeling really down, I'd start with the hard advice first: Love yourself first, otherwise nobody else will. Then the not so hard advice: In life, there'll be ups and downs, smiles and frowns. Then the good advice: Drinks on me :D

I have. Mainly, I shut down, sleep and won't eat. I tend to worry during that time as well. Medication is not necessarily the answer,(I'm not an advocate for medication) but learning how to focus your thoughts away from what depresses you.

Having a strong mind and will helps with dealing with depression, but it is a constant struggle. Try talking with friends, going out to some place tranquil and sitting there taking in the sights. Start listening to uplifting music. Take yoga or meditation classes.

Watch comedies, they will eventually help lead you out depression. If nothing else works, then see a doctor before it is too late.

Oh Boy ,Ive been waiting for this one,this is gonna be FUN !
Im assuming you're talking about that "Bi-polar" nonsense.
No,I never had it because it doesn't exist but unfortunately I have had to deal with others who thought they had it or were told they had it and they're all WHIMPS !
"Oh me,Oh my,Im depressed boo hoo ,whatever am I to do?
Barf !
Bi-polar depression is as big a crock of shit as global warming !
Its an immaginary disease or condition that is planted in the heads of WEAKLINGS by quack Doctors in bed with pharmaceutical companies.
In the U.S. its taken full advantage of by lazy worthless people who dont have the strength to get their ass out of bed ,hit the traffic and go to work so they can suck off the taxpayer and get a free ride off the backs of those who do work.
What a bunch of sugar dipped Pansies !

Bullshit,dont tell these people that crap,it doesn't work.
Ive known folks going back to the early 1980's that were told they had that crap and have been taking drugs for years and none of them ever get better,instead they get worse.
Ive got an ex Sister in law thats totally off her rocker from taking and becomming dependant on all that chemical soup they prescribe for that junk.
Its poison.
Dont mess with your brain.

I go thru spells where I have just stayed in bed for days at a time to being mad at the world. I have been depressed for so many years that it has mostly turned into anger at everything.

When I have a bad spell I try to sleep thru it or watch my fav tv shows, anything to clear my mind and not think about anything.

yeah. my friends told me about the meditation, to keep my mind at rest. That's why i hardly get any sleep cos i'm worrying all the time and never have chill out time, that's why i had that break and goin to trinidad did help a bit but when i came back my depression became worse.
i feel sick a lot and i'm losing weight too cos i'm eating less than i used to. I did go to the doctors about the weight issue and he did give me some meds but it isn't helping.
i look healthy but i don't feel it.

The best thing is exercise. Studies have shown that exercising is the best thing that you can do when you have depression. Drugs work faster but exercise is a better long term and safer way to beat depression.

[Bew Hew]

Sad. I always recommend exercising hard. Even if you already do, push yourself harder. You get an accomplishment boost and plus you get a rush of natural opiates that your body makes :)

And also, inject random things into your life that you've always thought you'd like to try (only non-sexual things). It'll give you something fresh to look forward to in your day and you might be surprised at how well a small change can shake a mental bugaboo loose.

And of course, smile.

[FlashBack21]

If you wanna feel better faster than I highly recommend you seeing a doctor immediately and he can get you on a drug that can get you feeling better in about a week but if you wanna wait a couple of weeks up to a couple of months to get better than I recommend exercise.

There is something that is troubling you that you may not want to acknowledge yourself. Remember though that you need to eat. Eating actually helps because it brings some balance back to your body. Your body handles depression like fighting a cold, it knows something is wrong. The chemicals that control the happy aspects and the negative aspects are in constant struggle with each other. Not eating does not help.

Depression is not just mental, but also is physical pain. Your body aches and hurts, not from having bed sores like some jacka**es want to state, but that the body is losing the will to live. There is a such thing as that. And the body starts slowing down necessary functions. Then the individuals start feeling so worthless that the big S pops in their brain.

Your problem is you're not getting enough sex.
