Thank you for your words of wisdom Iwantthatname, I can't take long walks or do much exercise (as this is part of my medical problem/s).

The spiritual side of things, well I can see where your coming from, but I don't think it would be for me.

I am fortunate enough to have all my limbs and my faculties, Jesus, they do say there is always someone worse off than yourself, but when your deep down with depression, you would obviously beg to differ at that moment in time.

Just stumbled on this thread! I had a breakdown last year! i was off work for 10 months luckily i had a job to go back to! surviving on our so called welfare state wasnt good either and i think i went back to early! it was either that or lose my home etc!!! I'm still suffering now! i really dont think anyone can truly equate to you because they dont understand what you are going through! i locked myself away for months and i still find it hard to mix normally now!

Depression is a terrible illness, i seen my mum suffer from it for 25 years odd, and all bloody doctors doo is feed you with medication to keep you quiet, I suffer from it and i just try an snap out of it by getting up and doing somthing, anything, I don`t want to go near a doctor cause I have seen what they have done to my mum and the drugs Never work, I think just a good honest friend is what we need

The secret of being miserable is to have the leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not. The cure is occupation.

I have a medical condition id rather not have and other things get me down, but this may sound very cliche, but i look around and see there are way more people in a worse situation than me. I know it's easy to say, but thats how it is with me.

For me the feeling of depression is being so totally stressed that im living on my nerves all the time!!!! i can thoroughly depend on the circumstances that preceed the illness! mine began with harrassment at work! over a period of a year or so! then one morning i just cracked! i couldnt face it?????

I had it from a very young age after being bullied and beaten up at times, which made me become reclusive and at times suicidal and even after the loss of both my parents which made me worse. I never saw a doctor about it, as I knew that if I was to start taking anti-depressants, the pain could just come back even when I thought that it had gone. But then I turned to my friends in times of despair and they've been of great help to me and last year I've recovered and now I'm just trying to enjoy life more.
