| Ringer, yeah once new someone at uni who suffered from true depression.
People find it hard to understand the condition, thinking people should be able to just shake it off. As you know, it doesn't work like that. |
that's very true. unless you've experienced it for a long time you don't know jack about it. depression is truly the worst thing to have. just have to go day by day with it. some days it'll be ok others bad. just the way of life.

| 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. |
I suffered from depression for at least two years. Yes the medication helped a lot, but only up to a point. What really helped me was seeing a psychotherapist who helped me to accept what was causing my depression and find the strength to deal with those things. Since my separation (yes the marriage was one of those things!!) I have had the odd 'down' day but no more so than anyone else and have had no return to the dark depths only someone who has suffered from this terrible condition can understand.
For those of you still suffering, all I can say is persevere, lean on those who are there for you and accept all the support you can get. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, even though you cannot see it, or even believe in it. I am so glad that, although there are still many problems in my life, I am still here to live it and have re-discovered how to find joy in it.

Chicken soup is also good for the soul. Kalamity - depression usually goes hand in hand with boredom - too much time to think and analyse life. You need to get busy to lift those spirits! |
You obviously know very little about depression Magno. Sufferers of Bi-polar frequently work themselves into the ground, then have periods where they are too exhausted to do anything. Many 'artistes' (pop-stars, actors etc) seem to suffer this and it's the 'up' side that keeps them going. I could rant loads on this subject as I know it all too well, but I won't!
Be sure you know your subject before you dismiss it so easily.

Redoctober you pressed the right button there! I'm a sufferer too! I'm currently off sick with it now! on high dosage medication absolutely knackered all the time but the brain keeps whirring away!!!! I tend very much to dissapear into a deep hole when i get these bouts and shy away from human contact. My only contacts are one or two people on MSN and posting on FB So there you have it! No physical signs of damage so no one recognises that you are ill! I dont expect sympathy or anything else i've been on my own too long for that

Coming through possibly my worst bout ever at the moment. Talking on here and through my OU sites (open University chat forums) is keeping me going. I do laugh and smile a lot still, but when I have the time to relax I nigh on collapse with exhaustion.. so a vicious cycle starts up. You keep going til you drop, but you're too scared to drop incase all the darkness comes crowding in, so you keep going ... til you collapse!!! Bloody mental!! lol

the only description i could give for depression is it's like being in a cave when u know it's bright outside but u can't stand the sunlight. u can keep busy in this cave if u want, u might even forget u're there for a while, but u'll still be in it. the only way out is to figure out why ur'e there, put that to rest then peek your head out and in again until u start to enjoy the sun again.
apologies for the tired cheesy metaphors.
i'm don't suffer from depression, although i have been depressed, and it's different for everyone. what should also be added is that the majority of people during their lives suffer from this, even though a lot of them never admit it.
just a take........and for all those out there suffering at the mo i hope u can come to grips with whatever is causing it.

No apology needed Nig. That's frequently what it's like. As for getting a grip on it, for those that have a cause, it can be done, but unfortunately many sufferers have a chemical imbalance and there doesn't need to be a cause or a 'trigger'.
I know for myself there's frequently a 'trigger'. Sometimes it only takes a word. Most of my depression is learned behaviour (tho' unfortunately not all). Therapy/counselling etc can be a great help there. For those that do take medication or have been recommended it and don't like it, think about how you would treat a migraine. You'd take something for it!! Mental health is the same (in some respects). Don't be afraid of taking whatever help you can.
