Depression Understood Forums

1. Use another software such as WordPad to type, then copy and paste into the browser. 2. Type it in a browser but select all and copy now and then to "save" as grok suggested. But make sure the browser has reliable undo capability, a wrong keystroke could wipe you out when you select, but...

My recipe for peace: cut out TV, stop caffeine, go to the park and quietly watch the water or the wind blowing the leaves in the trees, or wildlife if there is any. That soothes me. Not sure if it works for others. Only problem is that winter is coming on... Plan B: If you're staying at home try wor...

Do me a personal favor and stay away from the aspirin. That's too yucky, besides, your body is an important asset, don't damage it. No matter what happened before, the future is what's important. If you have sufficient health and energy, you can make money, pursue meaningful activities and have a su...

Just 16 in your class...that's tough, I see the problem. Don't give up on the school group, but at the same time you could learn a little more Chinese (I assume hk is for Hong Kong?) and try to make a friend or two outside of school. Hopefully someone your age around your neighborhood to be real clo...

My body is not cooperating; I have a disease that wears me down. My physical abilities are like someone twice my age, or worse, and on bad days every movement is costly. Work is difficult, and I spend a lot of my time off resting so that I can manage to work the next time. Even rest can be tedious o...

Hey, hope things will get better for you. I believe meds and shrinks aren't the only way, but maybe there's some kind of free help out there if you need it. Or you can try a different approach yourself. Try to find just one small thing you can feel happy about or succeed in, or enjoy. It can be tiny...

Hey there, welcome!

The problem is the social group. These girls are not necessarily all bad people to start with, they are just part of their own little subculture that's making them mean because they've developed these social rules that guide them. They aren't really thinking individually, they depend on each other. ...

Here's an idea: instead of smiling, try raising your eyebrows. That would look pretty cool! If you have few words, just say "Hi" and wait for them to start the talking. Social acceptance seems all-important in college, but focusing on the classes and choosing the right major and career pat...

Yep, I'm here. Been pushed to the max lately, too busy at work and at home. Right now I'm feeling painful but cheerful. I feel glad that just being around makes someone happy! Take care.

This could be a controversial viewpoint.... But I think medications are not the only way. They surely serve a purpose, but they are one of several possibilities. For example, everyone knows of some natural ways to relax. And fulfilling some needs or rethinking life can also have a great effect. Find...

The imagining is good. How to make it real....

I think it's great when women don't have to work outside the home (I know women that have to work very hard physically to pay the bills) but it would help to find a couple of friends in the same boat--other homemakers--and invite one over for a chat sometimes. Lots of hobbies to pursue. Or a part-ti...

I've been lurking a bit!

It's actually one of the things I like about this forum, that there isn't so much anti-religious sentiment. Many places on the Net these days any faith belief is attacked, because atheism is becoming trendy. The attackers always say that religious people are stupid. But the reality is that most of t...
