Question:
Answers:
I plot suicide attempts, and it gives me peace that I have a way out if I can't handle life on it's own terms.
I have been on paxil since I was 12 and it has been the best thing for me. I tried therapy and it just wasn't for me.
Always think on the positive side of things and think about how lucky you are for all the things you have e.g family/children/friends etc.
Or if it gets too bad speak to a cycologist and hopefully they will help you.

Take your life back. Stop being the victim of what everyone else is doing or what has happened or is happening to you.
It's your life. Take it back. Make things happen, good things. Do something important with your time and energy. Maybe you can do like I have and choose work that will help other people out of similar dark places in the mind. Reach out to others and help where you can. Volunteer, make your life a beacon of light and warmth and people who need light and warmth will find you.
I draw and talk to my shrink. Even though i cannot stand the guy. I listen to music mainly for comfort and hangout with my friends. I just try to act like i dont have it but eventually it goes away but you need to find your own savior out of depression.
As a mental health professional with 20+ years experience, now retired, let me share with you the remedy that a psychiatrist continued to give our patients, and for those who followed his recommendations, depression became a "thing-of-the-past". He told them to "go for a walk". He said for them to start out slow, just ambling along, letting your arms just swing loosely by your sides, until you began to feel "loosened up" or warmed up. Then, he said, increase your speed a bit till you feel your heart and lungs working a bit harder. No marathon or sprinter stuff here. Just a little but noticeable increase in heart beat and breathing. Then walk for "a while", to your own comfort, before you begin to slow back down and let your muscles cool down slowly before you get back home, to avoid cramps. He told me that if all his patients did that, he wouldn't have to write so many prescriptions for anti-depressants. As I sat there with maybe a somewhat nervously astonished look on my face, he said, "Don't worry. Most of the patients won't go for the walk because they want some fancy prescription and some fancy diagnostic label, and they won't be satisfied with a remedy that's free and doesn't require any expensive running shoes and exercise outfits, so we're always going to be in business." You know, he was right. No matter how many times we pursued a healthier way to feeling better, most of our patients were too lazy to follow through with it, so they kept paying big money to see the psychiatrist, and bigger money to buy the prescription medicines with all their possible side-effects, and kept on feeling miserable. Funny how weird people are. They want a cheap and quick remedy, and when you give them one, they just leave it on the floor somewhere, passing it up for some more expensive remedy which can't do sheeiiittttttttt in comparison. But many of our patients had Medicare or Medicaid or private insurance, so they never had to feel the out-of-pocket pain of their thoughtless approach to feeling better. Maybe you'll be smarter than the rest, and quit looking for some fancy medicine, or "the latest cure", and get down to basics and really get the job done, for free! God Bless you.
