Question

DEPRESSION, how do you cope when the world you know is falling apart?

Answer

Hang on for all youre worth.brbrI really struggled with this in the past it getting easier now but still cant go into town by myself, cant always get up in the morning, dont look after myself . . . . the list goes on.brbrHow did do I cope?brbrfirstly I went to the doctor got antidepressants took a couple of tries, but found one that really works for me.brI also found a really good counsellor luckily shes a student counsellor at the university i went to and i dont pay. shes also really good cos im not doing a course at the moment, but she still sees me!brbrThen and just as important as the first I got myself a really great support network, and that included getting rid of people who were not good for me including my husband!.brThen I started to take things one step at a time sometimes literaly!!, I have so little motivation that if i said right today i am going to clean the house form top to bottom there is no way any of that would happen but if i say ok today im going to do bowl of washing up there is a fair chance that that will happen! and sometimes I can then go on and do morebrbrDont be hard on yourself you are suffering from a disease if it was a broken lag and you couldnt do stuff that would be ok, but because its something that cant be seen, and something that most people dont understand sometimes especially those suffering from it! then you are expected to carry on as normal.brbrFind things that help you stay comfortable I suffer from really bad panic attacks, but find that using a MP player, and having a cuddly toy with me helps to keep me calm and yes at i walk down the street holding my cuddly toy in my hand and stuff what other people think if it helps me!brbrAlso try to work out the cause of the depression mine is a result of being sexually abused as a teenager its only by working on the cause of the depression that we can hope to have a long term solution ie healing!

Depression help?

Question

Depression help?
What is the best techniquebesides drugs that can help someone get over depression? Maybe a website that has tips? Maybe you have a technique? I need something because I am getting worse.

Answer

Depend what type of depression. Your life, a single person, or a specific area.brBut what I do if Im upset is just sit quietly and really think about it and try to see there point of view if thats your type of problem. But whatever you do, dont lead to eating, it is just as bad as drugs. You just wont stop and get fat. And it will only make you happy while your eating it.brAnother solution is telling someone, like a close friend or family member as long as they are not the person you having the problem with. Sometimes I tell someone at church not the catholic way through a box, I just go up to one of my close wise friends called Anne and she always gives the best advice.brBut as I said it all depends on your problem. If its work maybe discuss something with your boss, if he is reasonable he can help you out, maybe those guys who make you talk while lying down on a couch bed thing and he just ask questions and takes notes.brBut if your depression is like quotsuicide stylequot, you should just think of all the the things youll be missing. Like the world has so many thigns to offer. If you angry at certain people, you should just forget them because there is another billion to meet! Which will take you about a lifetime to meet them anyway.brAnd there is so many great things to see and experiance in the world.brAnd so many people will miss you. My mum wanted to commit suicide, because she thought the only point in her life was nothing, because all she was was a house wife and she was hating my dad and because we are all at school there is no one to help her out at home. But we would all miss her. We wouldnt be able to survive without her. Im sure some people would feel the same way in your case.brIf its death, just remember there probably in a better place, and they have left this polluted world hopefully for a better one.brIf its lonliness, just get out! Go to places, ring up long lost friends from high school and go out with them.brIf its a combination do all.brBut as I said its hard to help you out seeing as you havent told us what your actually sad about.brBut good luck anyway and I hope that you have your problems sorted out.

Question

Depressed and I want to die. Can anything help?
I take Wellbutrin SR. My children dont want to be around me and I understand thant. I have taken just about every antidepressant made. I really am tired of living. It is getting too hard.

Answer

Dying isnt the answer to becoming happy it would seem.brPeople appear to think of sadness or depression as something that is an abnormal condition. Sometimes it is and professional treatment is needed and if your suicidal then it is appropriate to seek helpits out there. Contact me if you dont know how to seek help and I will be happy to advise you.brMuch unhappiness and dissappointment in life is associated with the notion that quotlife should be fairquot.brOne of the hardest thing to come to grips with is that life isnt fair. Even harder to realize is that its ok that life isnt fair. brbrIf you can somehow come to the conclusion that quotlife isnt fair, but thats ok I can deal with thatquot, and quotI dont have to be happy constantlyquot you may life might be more pleasant.br

Wow what are you missing ??? Why do you think you are worthless ??brWhy do you think you are hopeless ?? There has got to be a reason why you think these things about yourself. If you have all the things you said you have a great family a great boyfriend lots of friends, than what is missing ?? You may think you want to kill yourself but do you really want to do that. I have walked in your shoes and let me tell you it sucks, but there is a way out of it. Seek help as fast as you can before it really gets away from you.

Answer

Hi NickbrbrI know you have a lot of answers already but I hope you get to reading right through to me!! Please ignore some of the idiots who type stupid answers because they can hide here. It is the same as the people who make you feel bad at school they hide their own insecurities by picking on someone elses. brbrNow, to the crux of the matter. You have acne. Badly it seems. This is horrible but something which will pass. One of my sons is unable to achieve continence and has to cope with the constant possibility of messing himself. He is not your age yet but has found the last years of school difficult and challenging because of the way others see him and increasingly the way he sees himself. And this is why I am telling you about my son the real problem you have here Nick is how you feel about yourself. It is not all about the acne. You feel different from others you would still feel that if you didnt have acne, but it might be a bit easier to cope with of course! brbrThe things you say about yourself make you sound like an interesting person not a sad one or a looser. You are at an age where everyone feels the things you are feeling but some feel them more strongly than others. I cannot stress enough that you must go to speak to either a dr or school counsellor or other person that you trust. You will be taken seriously and you will be valued. brbrUltimately, you sound as if you are going to grow into an interesting and confident young man even if you dont believe me right now!! Take control of your own future do the things you enjoy even if no one else is doing them you will find out later that lots of people were doing the same things but not telling others so as to fit in! and talk to someone urgently about how desperate you are feeling. The internet is not the place where you will find answers, tho you may find support here.brbrGood luck and very best wishes to you Nick.
