I have been very depressed too,for many years.But anyway so long,that I don't even know what "happiness" is.Now I have,for luck,been much better and less depressed.I also have that kind of problem that I think people want to hurt me and I can't trust them.I don't know it is psychosis or is that due to that my mother has been very aggressive and scary toward me.Doctors said that is it psychosis but here in Finland doctors says so easily that you have psychosis,though you really don't have.
I understand what depression is,and I wish your depression will vanish like mine.

Depression is such a serious illness. Please see a doctor Bianco

THE CHRISTIAN LIFE WITHOUT PRAYER IS LIKE COMPUTER HARDWARE WITHOUT THE SOFTWARE!!!!!

As me, I am Hypocondriac

i'm often melancholic and depressed too..but food is quite a good comfort

.

hey Bianco

depression is a debilitating illness, friends and family try to help but unless they themselves have experienced it, they are often more harmful. i had pre-natal depression and was quite psychotic. because i was pregnant i was not offered any medication, i forced myself to get out, meet new people and find at least one thing a day to make me smile, i know its difficult and there were days that i didn't even want to answer the phone, but i pushed myself. i am now a lot happier, i still get down some days, but doesn't everyone, the best thing for me is the friends i have made along the way. validate your feeling but also try something new, i hope you have seen a doctor, if not see one straight away, do not be embarrassed depression is more common than you know.

i hope you feel better soon x

Yes, food is good..but sometimes too eat and too drink soft-drinks..

I had often stomachaches when I small..I think this was Hypocondriac..maybe..

Yes, depression is really debilitating illness..it needed long rest..but I knew depression try to
protect to the mind..so it is not enemy for me though it is very suffered me..it must quite hard
without medication..I hate even sounds of phone..I avoid to even just see the mobile-phone..

Thanks for your advice.

You are the cure. Pills won't work.

~und Justiz für alle~

I'm appreciate your the advice..

i am depressive, too. most time it feels like there's a little demon in me who wants me to feel bad, to be aggressive and hate people. i went to a psychiatrist who gave me anti-depressive pills but they didn't work. nothing happened. now i'm trying st. john's wort pills which i bought on my own.
my main problem is my loneliness but i don't know how to get out of the circle. i have hardly any social contacts.

i'm nervous, too but i think not the same way you are. but the phone scares me too. maybe i have been online tooooo much in the last years.

it's hard if others don't understand. my family knows about my problems but they still treat me the same.
i try to be strong, listen to positive music and read positive things.

During I have depression and I can't feel ease..full of anxieties and fears..I can listen to
TOO BIG even music with most small volume from earphones...I can really know about
loneliness problem..I need long term for heal and recover..I often listen to music depends on my condition..mind can't see in our eyes..mental problems aren't understood..I can't read long one like a book..

Depression has lots of forms...not to mention them here, and I'm absolutely not entitled to do that..
Reasons could be multiple
Specialists aid should be the best option, in theory,if there's a minimum of trust between the "patient" and the "curative persona"
Medication, on the other hand, can be beneficial or not...depends on the cases

Good advice. thanks.

I know a lot of people who suffer from depression ....... the 1st step is admitting u are depressed ...... i think u should try and talk to sumone ..... your doctor or some kinda support ...........

You say u hear TOO big voices and sounds. what do these voices say to u (u can reply via PM) .....

I know people who have heard voices that tell them the worst things

Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, 'Grow, grow.'

I've had many mental problems. I've been paranoid, manic depressive, bulimic, I heard voices, and more... For me, it's back and forth. It goes away and comes back. I'm assuming that professional help is not first on your list. I never sought professional help. One thing that really helped me was having someone to talk to about it. It doesn't have to be someone you can talk to in person. I talked to a friend I had met online. So, I believe the first step is just being able to talk about it. If you still hear voices, you probably will need professional help. I wouldn'y recommend pills, however. They often make things worse. My friend has to take pills for ADD (or ADHD, I can't remember) and she's a completely different person when she uses them, but not in a good way. It also has several physical effects on her. My aunt who suffered from depression took pills, and she ended up killing herself so I'm assuming they either didn't work or increased her depression.

Thanks for the details advice..

Depression can be really annoying at times... But sometimes you can cheer up by listening to music or doing somethings exiting...

I just let my mind wander, and it never came back!!!!!

Bianco I completely understand believe me. I battled through two very difficult years of clinical depression. What you might certainly benefit from more than most is talking therapy. Depression is probably THE least talked about major illness in the world despite the destructive nature of it.

But of course I know nothing about you personally so I can only recommend you see a doctor. He/she may prescribe you something to help you cope, depending on their opinion but they may very well offer you some form of talking therapy.

Many of the "add on" problems (you mentioned nerves and BIG VOICES), that accompany depression is, in my opinion, almost certainly down to a culture of sweeping the problem under the carpet or bottling it up inside. They say time is a healer. With depression, if you're not encouraged to talk openly about it time can be quite the opposite. It may also help you Bianco to talk to anyone who may have experienced these things before or perhaps in the process of such a cruel illness.

Don't give up!

As a almost psychologist , Try this:

Counter Depression
- Go to the quiet place that you ever there or go to your room and close all the door and the windows (if the voices outside is too loud.
- Turn off the lamp (effective to relax your eyes)
- Make sure your room is ventilated well (for circulate the air)
- Sit on the chair
- Your sitting position must be straight
- put your hand on your legs
- Your foot-sole must be on ground
- Look straight in front of you
- Close your eyes
- Relax your mind
- Take a deep breath, hold them and blow them slowly
- Do it again for 7 times or until you feel relax (concentrate to the breath, DO NOT think other problem)
- After that, open your eyes slowly
- Say a positive words
- You must believe that you are the words that you say
- while stand up, say this : "STAND UP FOR THE CHAMPION"
- Again, you must believe to your self

This is my last advice:

ONLY YOUR SELF THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIVE, OTHER PEOPLE JUST MOTIVATE OR HELP YOU, SO CHANGE OPTIONS IS ONLY ON YOU, YOU FREE TO CHANGE YOUR LIVE, AND PLEASE, FOLLOW THE EXISTING LAWS.

WELL, GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY WHO WANTS TO CHANGE THEIR LIFE TO THE BETTER LIFE.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL,

TOGETHER WE'LL NUMBER ONE.

LET'S WE STAND UP TOGETHER FOR THE CHAMPION

THE CHAMPION IS YOU, ALL OF YOU.
