take xanax. depression is in your mind weather people want to believe it or not. just start living positive.
I don't have depression or anxiety issues (generally speaking), but I have worked in the mental health field for a long time, so I know a thing or two about it. Have you ever tried medication and/or therapy?
Otherwise.maybe you need to find something to do with your time that's actually enjoyable. Maybe it's by yourself, doing whatever it is you want to do (maybe even something you've never tried before), or maybe it's with someone you know and trust. Either way, you can't just stay in,freaking out inside yourself. You need to find a way out.
Depression--Ding!
Anxiety--Ding!
I work with my psych doc on finding the right medicines that overall reduce my symptoms.
I work with a talk therapist at least once a week on ways that I can work with the stress that enters my life and prevent it from upping my anxiety and depression. We work on the methods I can use to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression if/when they do creep through.
I remind myself that the goal is not to live anxiety free--every one has anxiety, the goal is to live my life WELL on my own terms.
When I am controlling the course of my life instead of anxiety and depression controlling the course of my life, that is one path to happiness for me.
When control of my life is fueled from my anxiety and depression, I have learned that I must not berate myself, hate myself, blame myself, be angry at myself. I need to get back on the path I want to be on to live the life I want. It's not simple, or easy at times, but it is what works for me. Yelling at myself, being afraid that life will never get better, and other self harmful talk doesn't get me back on that path.
I am (slowly, grouchily, frumpily) learning that falling off the path is normal too--and that everyone does that on the way to the life they want. It's all about the rebound time.
very miserably
I take medicine for it and it went away. There is no stigma attached to taking care of your body. If you felt like crap because you were anemic and didnt' have enough iron it you, you would take iron. If you felt like crap b/c you were diabetic and didn't have enough insulin in you, you would take insulin. Some people do not have enough of a brain chemical called serotonin. I don't know why. Maybe it's genetic. Maybe it's what we were exposed to as kids. Who knows. But just like the other conditions I described, if you take the medicine your body needs to function, the world is a pretty cool place to be again. At any given time 25% of the adult population is on anti-depressant meds. They don't make you "happy" but they prevent your body from being miserable so you can live your life again. Trust me, it beats the alternatives and it's nice not to want to kill yourself anymore and to be able to hold a job, smile, laugh and to be in the car and realize the voice you hear singing along happily to the radio - is yours. I've been there and my ONLY regret is that it took me as long as I did to get my butt to a dr and get the meds. Life has been so much better since. Good luck.
just keep telling yourself that you're ******* awesome, even if you're not, and try to find logic in you depression and anxiety. i can't find any reason for me to be depressed or anxious so i just ignore the fact that i actually am. look in the mirror and say "i'm better than this! i don't need this ****!! life is what i make it so if it sucks, do something about it!"
yaaaaaaaaahh, that's how i roll :P
thanks kikidismo, I'd give YOU
the 10 pts. if I knew how to do
it. Your answer was great!
Yeah, Tito V, "depression is in your mind", you freaking, dumb moron. Spoken like some idiot that has no idea what they're talking about. Your idol must be Tom Cruise and scientology. Freaking prick.
Depression is a serious illness that is recognized by every country in the world, except for places like Nazi Germany where Tito is from. Yeah, we all want a leader like Hitler. And he wasn't mentally ill, right?
It's hard to cope, hard to do anything at all. I've been disabled for 9 years and I'm only 30. For me, it's not about "living" anymore, it's just survival, it's just getting by.
Tito is Michael Jackson's brother. He's a frickin idiot with a freaking perm. I guess I should tell a pregnant woman what it's like to have a baby, something I know nothing about, right?
Stupid freak.
