Hey Mental... Don't crash... I've been there... I have been diagnosed with depression and now I'm free as a bird! The trick is simply this. Take your meds and find what makes you happy. The meds are there to sort of balance your system. They will bring you out of the hole your in and allow you to function in everyday life. Then all that is left to do is figure out what can make you happy and keep you balanced without your meds.If you can let life lead you instead of always trying to lead life you can accomplish anything...
Just remember... Don't live in the past, because yesterday is gone.

Don't let a guy get you depressed. Break up with the loser. He's not worth your time or thought. Talk to friends about how you feel. They're there for you. If you ever need a friend email me.

Your still young, boyfriends come and go. I know that it's a really tough situation to deal with a boyfriend cheating. That seems to be mt life story. You just have to realize that if hes gonna cheat then hes not worth your time and definately don't deserve you. If he has to result in cheating then that really don't say much about him. You need to look at your problems, find what the real problem is ( like why that is a problem) and try to look at the plus side to it, I know that its alot easier said then done but there is actually a good side to everything. Once you find out why its a problem then try to work at that or work around it. I believe that you are a strong person, I can tell that by reading your posts. You just need to find the things that you really enjoy doing and that make you happy, and focus on those things.

I think that in my life I have been faced or know someone that has been faced with so many problems, when my friends have problems they become my problems because they are my friends and I am concerned with them. I think that I am a good listener, so if you ever just feel like venting to someone, please feel free to NOISEmail me, and I would be more then happy just to talk to you. I know that your a strong person! And I know that I sound like a corny fool but I just want to offer support.

my boyfriend cheating on me makes the depression worse......i think im going to brake.

I am sure that I have clinical depression, and have even once been unoffically diagnosed with it by a trusted friend that was a psychology graduate, but I know there is not much that anybody can do to help me, so I simply mask it. After attempting suicide by razor blade, I was sent to a psychological hospital for three months, where I underwent repetitive pyschological testing to diagnosis why I had done it. But the sad thing is that even psychiatrists and psychological institutions are not fool-proof. It was easy for me to mask my feelings and actions, and having read about pyschological disorders in my own free time, create false evidence of a disorder that I knew would allow me to go free.

So after it was all through, I was calmly let go and treated as though I had post traumatic stress syndrome, which in this case, was nothing campared to what they would have done to me if they had correctly diagnosed me. But even though I know what I have, and know I need help, I know there is nothing they can do to help, so I simply live a facade, a fake life I set up for my parents and friends so that they do not realize the true person beneath. As mentioned in other threads, I am a frequent self injurer, relying on cutting primarily to cause a physical pain that distracts me from the emotional pain bottled within.

But do not give up. I continue my life, in search of some way to return the tattered pieces of my life to normalcy. I have not yet succeeded, but I do not doubt that someday that dream will yet come true. I have problems, but I deal with them, and take them in stride day by day. I do not see my depression as a negative aspect of my life, but a positive aspect that allows me to concentrate on my problems with more sincerity and consequence. I have been told I am in serious need of medication, due to my public opinions concerning life and death, but I believe that I can deal with my disorder by myself, with no need for a helping hand. I hope this helps.
