Depression Understood Forums

Well, at the moment, I feel great. I'd been having a panic attack for about a week and a half up until about half an hour ago, and well I've shifted into one of my wacky moods. It'll shift back sooner than I'd like so I'd like to try and think and get some things into perspective while I can. So I w...

Thank you all, it was nice just to get a little support over the last couple weeks. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do or how I'm going to do it, but I guess that's just sort of how it goes, since at least I know now what I don't want at least

Thank you (((((EVERYONE)))))

It went very well! I managed to catch her and she took a couple hours to listen to pretty much my life story and all my issues with my folks, and my ex and my friends and stuff and... well I've finally put a couple things together. I consider my childhood to be good for the most part, but there are ...

----------------WARNING TRIGGERING------------------ Thanks for the support guys. I've started understanding why I am the way I am today though... my dad received news that I failed chem pretty badly and ended up hitting me a couple times. I ended up calling my brother. He's eighteen years older tha...

I've just felt bad for the past few weeks. During the event, I started feeling better, but then the feeling just creeped back up to me when I came home and woke up after a short nap. I've been feeling sad whenever I'm not doing anything lately, so I've tried to make myself do things, but I've also f...

So today, I did a lot of things to try and move my life forward. I'm the VP of Student Government at my school, and we've been trying to coordinate more social and community events. I like to dive into those activities to distract myself from my depression. We're pretty autonomous, so sometimes it's...

Thank you, crystalgaze! I appreciate it. I generally just took the last couple days to figure out what was going on in my head and try to stabilize things. At the moment, a break is definitely what I need right now, at least until the end of the semester. Things are only complicated when I let them ...

A year ago, I posted on here some stuff about ex-girlfriends and whatever. In the end, that really didn't matter so much. I decided to take on my real problems, which was my procrastinating in school and not taking my life seriously. Long story short, my life got better. Much better. But I still fee...

Thankyou, Monty. The past month or so, I've been working out to fight back against the depression. Weird thing is, it's almost like it knew I was fighting back and increased in intensity, drawing my mind back to thoughts and words that shouldn't affect me, but do. A few days ago, I was speaking to a...

Thank you for the greetings! Basically, I can try and force myself into a semi-stable sleeping schedule for up to a month at most, before it inevitably slips off the slope and I find myself unable to sleep except for maybe four hours at night, and maybe two in the afternoon. It's better now these da...

They said in ancient Greece that the worst kind of misery is to have once been happy. But y'know, love is out there. And you never know when it'll just walk right up to you. Until then, live for yourself. It's difficult. Near impossible, maybe. But take solace that there are people here who know how...

Okay, so here we go. I've had issues with depression as far back as I can remember. But for a long time, I thought I had them under control. I wasn't lethargic, or apathetic, and I didn't spend too much of my time feeling sorry for myself. When the feelings came, I could fight them off. But then my ...

Howdy. My name's Jacob, I'm 23, and I've had issues with depression for a while. Since I was around 11 or 12. Just thought I'd introduce myself. Another terrible day led to another sleepless night, but this time I did some websurfing instead of self destructive thinking. Either way, y'all seem very ...
