I have it too...::rolls eyes::

I never got meds for it though. They wanted to put me on meds but my mom said, "no"

Um, I guess all I can tell you is take it one day at a time.

Um, I was really down yesterday but I took a nap and then woke up by the sound of my boyfriend IMing me on yahoo. It was nice..

Oh, I have to see my therapist today. I don't want to but um I have to.

Maybe she will cancel!!!

CANCEL!!
CANCEL!!

I didn't do anything though, I didn't hurt myself, I didn't think of anything, just took a nap.

Okay,I bury my emotions and I act as "normal" as possible. That works!!

LoL, the only people who know "the real me" is my boyfriend and my family.

You should have someone to count on that helps.

I am on Effexor XR, and it doesn't work for me. They had to increase the dosage from 37 mg to 75 to 112, and it still does nothing.

i used to be on zoloft, it doesn't work. Try Wellbutrin XL tabs and Fluoxetine (or prozac if you can afford it) hcl caps, that is what I am on, and it works really well, ask your doc about it.

Zoloft.

I'm sorry, have you tried other types of depression pills? What kind are you taking right now?

I understand. You see, I seem to be even more suicidal than before I got on meds.

Medication does not work for me.

I went to a psycaitrist and she gave me meds and they really worked. People could see the difference in my attitude.

depression is a curse and it always will be one. i wish i could tell you straight up how to deal with being depressed...but the truth is idk how to either. lately i havent been myself...i keep brooding on past, upsetting memories and it is bringing me further and further down. i look to God, my famliy, and my friends, but my heart still feels so heavy...idk. maybe, hopefully soon, i will get over this little stage...hopefully.
I know how u feel!

i have been depressed. it was pretty hard. i got over it, but sometimes i still slip down into that deep pit of spiraling darkness never ending....i'm so happy that oOMentalPillsOo is doing better. i know what it feels like to feel like you have noone there for you,...everybody hates you noone understands you. i used to sing that song to myself,"nobody likes me, everybody hates me, guess i'll go eat worms..." because i truly felt that noone cared. i thank god and my family everyday that i was rescued from that. over a year and a half ago, a friend of my friend who was a really cool guy killed himself. i can't stand seeing his family because they are so sad. please if you feel like noone loves you, remember, I DO!!!!!!!!!!!! i love everyone so much and i wish only for happiness in this world. if you need a caring heart and a listening ear(as if ears do anything else) email me@:fantastico1990@hotmail.com. love tina

I'm afraid to go to the doc's and see if there is anything wrong in my brain for two reasons:

A- they tell me somethings wrong and that makes me worried

B- they tell me I'm completely normal and there is nothing wrong

I guess talking about stuff can sometimes help, try and solve problems that are bothering you and if you can't solve them, learn to accept them and that you are most probably not to blame for them.

im diagnosed with bipolar disease and deppression i have tried taking meds but they dont work so after awile i started slipping my pills. i only realized that i needed them after i tried to kill myself and ended up in the hospital. yeah deppression is a horrid thing but you must survive because only after you try to end things is when you realize what you will be missing so take it from someone with experience stay alive you will get over your problems!!!!!

I've tried pills. Didn't like them.

I've tried talking to a councelor twice. Can't stand it.

I've tried self injury. Quick fix but that doesn't really get me anywhere now does it?

What I've tried that has worked is talking to people I already know and trust. I also, according to one psychiatrist, treat myself for depression. I have worked very hard to become aware of the causes and reprocussions of depression and other problems and I try to confront them head on. I've made a lot of progress with this... long term progress. But it is incredibly hard.

As a side note. I've seen other medications (like for ADD or even birthcontrol (hormones)) work well for people with depression... especially that type that is concentrated around the teen years.

Art also helps me. Just another idea.

I hope if you do go on meds they work out for you. It's nothing to worry about. Pills are just right for some people with some things some times, but not for other people with other problems other times, you know?

There's a difference between depression cause by a chemical imbalance and the depression most teenagers get from things going badly. I know a number of people who have taken meds for depression but only one whose depression was caused by a chemical inbalancement.

She still take medicine and crap like that.

I really hate the word peppy. But it describes her so well. If you knew this girl you'd understand.

My brother's girlfriend went to the hospital and now she's fine and peppy again.

i was diagnosed with depression after having to see a counsillor because of my theries of life, (im sorry if i spell theries wrong), and recently something very terrible happened and it made my deppression worse, i refuse to take pills because it makes me feel like a test animal....i mostly take out my depression on paper, writing out songs and then transfering them to my guitar, also ive been told that for those who cut themselves, if you hold ice in your hand and feel and watch it melt, it gives off the same emotions, cutting your self is addictive..it gives of thoses hormones

Another conspiracy theory.

I've only met one person that was depressed, and she dealt with it really well. She said that she just thought about happy things and found things to vent with. For her it's art, and speaking to her stuffed animals in ASL
(American Sign Language). It can be really stupid, but if it makes you happy, go for it.

I'm just saying what she told me, because I've never actually been depressed.
