Depression.

[Demonic Angel]

Yeah, i've been depressed for almost a year now. I just don't know why. Maybe it's because that my parents got divorced, or maybe because I've been away from my parents starting when I was in the age of 7 to 12. My life has never been changed. It's like I'm living in hell. No happiness. No laughter. Nothing is better.
Now Im feeling a little bit much better, but my life still saddens me.
Does anyone know how I feel?

[Guest Crimson Spider]

Not really. I go through a wave of severe depression each time I get really ticked off. Causes me to see red.

[size=1] Regular teenage angst? Ha...nevermind.

I've never truly been depressed for more than three days, even though I worry about my family, [i]a lot.[/i] If you've been away from your parents, who's been your legal gaurdian?[/size]

[size=1]My dad says I show a lot of signs of depression, but I would not say I am down [i]all of the time[/i]. Sometimes more than others. Sometimes not at all. My dad says that he has thought about putting me in therapy, but meh... I do not think so.

I do not really know depression as you do because my experiences have been different (though my parents are no longer together either), but I do know it. I am pretty sure a lot of people do.[/size]

The only thing that pulled me out of severe depression was Jesus Christ.

Call it what you will, but I don't come home every day wanting nothing but to blow my brains out anymore. I [i]turned my life over to Him first.[/i] Then, and only then, was it possible for Him to begin doing His ultimate will, and pull out of the junk I was in. Depression included.

You see, once you accept Him, He sends you the Comforter that He promised--the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit is just that, a comforter.

All that I had to do was turn from my life of absolute self-pleasure, and turn my life over to God, meeting Him half way and doing my part, and He handled the rest.

Anyway, may the Lord bless ya with mad abundance.

Well can yourself not the only one. I was depressed for about 2 months because of love, yes of love with a girl that didn't liked me..blah blah and there were days were freinds and persons in my class would tell me whats wrong and I won't speak like to anyone, never laughed at jokes made in class....But it finally past away without going to psy even if it was the next step I would have taken because I finally figure out that this girl like just one guy and the others were invisble to her eyes so why bother more...All I can say to you is just keep hope in yourself and it would get better....

There's always light at the end of the tunnel...

[COLOR=#707875]I have never been depressed bye divorce. But I have been depressed and I have been in therapy. Infact I'm in it right now. But It's not for depression.

I've been depressed a little because my granfather dying, but other than that I haven't been depressed in a while.

I was once depressed because I didn't score a goal in any soccer game for one whole year. It made me mad, but I got better and over it so yeah. I'm not depressed anymore.[/color]

To maladjusted, my legal guardian is my aunt and uncle of my dad's side. I've been taken away from my mother in the age of seven bcuz my mother was dating this guy. I think this guy looks dangerous so my dad took me away from them and then my dad went abroad, back to his work.

[HaUnTeD]

ah, depression, my favorite topic, my life is a big heap of depression. I'm lonely, and....well....lonely..I guess thats a big deal in depression. but eh, who cares, i havent killed myself yet!:D thats a good thing..is it not? but yeah...im not that crazy...im actually pretty afraid of death. i guess im just a normal girl..but i get left out quite a lot. High school isnt all glam, and I know I should be focusing more on my work, but I have no social life, whatsoever, Im not noticed, and, frankly, im starting to get used to it...ive always been left behind, maybe one or two good friends. And this year im gonna make a change, once and for all, people are going to know my name...and fear it...MWAHAHAhAHAhA!!!!! :devil: *e-hem*...well, maybe not fear it.. but that would be kinda cool...:angel: ok, well im done complaining...:D seeya




:butthead: heh..

Yeah, I went through a whole year of depression. It sucked. I think it's just a phase of everyone's life, where you start wanting more out of life, you think there's supposed to be more to it, and it gets you really frustrated. Looking back, that's what I think it was. And at least my dad agrees with me on that theory.

I think you just have to wait it out. Depression is some kind of disease, and just like with any disease, you'll be perfectly fine if you can outlast it. Some people need meds, but others really just need to focus on themselves positively. That was my case, at least.

[Fall]

I was depressed a while ago. Actually, about half a year ago it was, if I remember correctly. It was so sad, I hated my life, myself, everyone around me, the world. I felt as if I wanted to die to let everyone else out of their misery.

Don't know though.. I got over it. It was like a phase. Like something I'm interested in for a while, then get bored of it. I guess depression got bored of me, and ran away.

That's the only way to get rid of the depression your currently in. Ignore it, and make it get bored of you. If it can't get what it wants, which is to see you suffer and worry about everything like a shag on a rock, then it'll go away. Worked for me. Though then again, I'm not you. It's the best solution though, I think.

You just described it perfectly. Depression is [i]exactly[/i] like that.. atleast for me it was. Nice, Skyrose. :smoke:

[Jubei Yagyou]

I think a person gets depressed during the early teens because you get a touch of reality. And later teens because you know what your gonna be when you grow up, usually something not exciting. And like 30's or 40's because of your mid-life crisis ((everybody knows that)) So ya, life is depressing but its the little things that let you go on.

[Zen]

I don't get depressed unless soemthing big happens, like some one that i was close to dies, but it never really sticks but for more than a week, then i learn to get over it and go on with my life. I try not to be depressed. I just wake up and try to live my life happily. I try to forget my problems so that it doesn't burden me and i don't try to bottle them up because then it only festers in side. I have a big reason to feel depressed because i havn't been able to keep my freinds for more than about 2 or 3 years becasue my dads in the army, but i try my best to forget it and look to the brite horizons. I just live life in the present. I don't stress myself over the future, nor do i burden myself with the past. Thats why i don't get depressed.

If you're in high school you pretty much are guaranteed to be depressed, I think that it is just normal that way. It seems lonely because most people who have problems or are depressed don't show it outwardly to everyone. This kinda makes it hard to relate even though chances are that most of the people you know get sad about stuff pretty consistently. Then what you have to do is go to college where you can pretty much find only people you are compatable with and make good friends. When you are dating, or single you will no doubt get depressed about girls or boys but its totally normal. Thats my experience anyway. Things look better no matter what at 22 compared to 17 years old. Its all about perspective and realizing that your situation is not permanent, things are always changing in your life and will get better eventually. Girls are always greif, but they can make you damn happy too...that idea works for a lot of situations.

well, for me, depression is when there is a hole in your heart, and you can feel the stinging ache that is left. it is feeling heavy with sadness, achingly sad, so much that you feel like you are drowning in it. it feels like there is no one there for you, no one to catch you when you fall. kinda like being lonely in a crowd of people. or being in a scary dark room, all by yourself. there is an underlying numb feeling, like when you get rejection all the time, so many times in a row, that kinda numbness. whats worse, unlike rejection, you never get used to these feelings, no matter how many years you have them :(

[Zen]

Wow, that was deep Lea. And all this time i thought you were the preppy, bubbly type. Guess i was wrong. But that kinda speech is what makes me not want to give into deppresion.

[lea]

you know? i think depression can change a persons personality, and change how you see things. when you're depressed, you might see everything as hopeless (meh, why try out for the play/team/band? i know i am not going to get in...i stink at everything) and you might see that you dont have friends, when you really do, all because they havent said outloud "i'm going to be here for you, if you ever need to talk, i am here. by the way, you know i love you, right?"(like a really good friend way of love) it just doesnt occure to people to say that outloud, because unsaid messages might not be readable to depressed people (they might be to surounded by their own sadness to see or feel them)

[Mitch]

[size=1] We all get depressed on and off I'd say. Some more than others--and those usually get help, or whatever.

I usually get depressed more than once in a day...sometimes for long periods of time. Sometimes even for weeks. But you just deal with it. It's not the end of the world.[/size]

[B] It seems lonely because most people who have problems or are depressed don't show it outwardly to everyone.. [/B][/QUOTE]Most people don't, no. But I did. :drunk:

When I went to school, while I was depressed, I was so uptight and angry, I wouldn't talk to anyone, and everyone near hated me. I showed it alright. And then, once I was over it, I was normal again, and everyone was like "OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL happened to HIM?! HE'S DIFFERENT!!".

[lea]

well, mitch, maybe people feel depression at different intensities.....some people can handle it, some people, it consumes them everyday, and those people cant fight it off.....

That's a wonderful defenition Sky. It gives hope to people, hope that you can outlast it if you stick it through. Thankyou. I also like Fall's point. Maybe it will get bored. After a while.

[Guest yalborap]

I had depression during May. I frequently contemplated suicide,until some people at another message board talked me out of it.([url]www.gamefaqs.com[/url]) Of course, it's easy to get depressed when your best friend is better at all you care about,short of knowledge(games,art,love)/

*Points to her self* Anyways I'm usually always depressed...but I try never to show it. I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing. Back on topic, I usually get depressed with out knowing why. But I think maybe, alot of people go through depression not knowing why. Depression...To me it feels like your slowly losing apart of your self. Till there's nothing left.

[Wintermute]

I'm skirting it right now. Almost exactly a year ago I had an experience which made me realise what my ideal girl is. And it's a rare breed indeed.

A year later, I found someone just perfect. She fits everything. She is fantastic. I'm no poet, and can't use words to good enough effect to describe what I mean.

A few days after I got to know her, she started going out with one of my good friends....
