Depression Understood Forums

You know.... This is a hard one to handle. I have something similar & I'm close to 30. It's hard to give good advice. The sooner you can move out, the better off I feel you will be. Let them keep your brother, and I don't mean that in any offensive way at all. Weigh the situation and do what you...

Let's see.... Did you go to the doctor with her originally?? It may help to go with her, if you can. I would go back to the doctor with her & share her concerns. There was someone on the forum who had posted a while back that a nurse had come everyday to make sure medicine was taken. The person ...

The best thing I can say is to try to have a lot of supportive people around you. Have you gone to your doctor and inquired? That's what I would do. I had been off of meds for many years (about 5, I think) before I had become pregnant and had not realized it (defective pregnancy tests). I was only t...

Hi there, if you are religious, then pray even if it is to the universe. Or what I mean to say is do something that will give you a release that will not be damaging to you. Okay. On a non-religious tone, please slow down, stop & think. Please don't continue to binge. Alright? Is there any way t...

I think everyone who posted already has said it best. What I will add is get a new set of friends, if possible. Begin posthaste. If your other friends did not stand up for you also right then and there, please ditch the whole group. I never stay any place I'm not wanted, unless I have a really good ...

I had a friend who witnessed another friend die and truly, he wasn't the same since then. He did his best, though. I don't know where he is now.... Regarding the girlfriend situation, I want to encourage you not to take it so or too hard. That might not sound right to you, but I'll explain. What peo...

That's the kind of anxiety I had for many many years, regarding intimacy. Don't ditch those condoms; you're doing the right thing. Just make sure they are kept well: no direct sunlight, no extreme temperatures, no back pockets, no wallets, etc. Okay, I'll stop there, lest what I say becomes X-rated....

I am again in reorganizing mode. This time, I put all the beds on 1 side of the house. It will have to clean again soon. I am trying to have an exercise room in the house. The point of having the beds on one side of the house was to make the exercise room but also to ensure I would have a decent wir...

I don't drive too much anymore. Gas is expensive where I live, & it's going to cost more soon.

When I do drive, I try to get 1/2 a tank to last 2 weeks.

I feel like playing FF VII again. I really do wish they would remake it (the entire game) with updated graphics so it would be as beautiful or even more so as Crisis Core was on PSP.

If I do get around to it, I'm going to play it differently this time.

Let's see. I did check out the latest Nexus 7. The problem for me was that it was a 7, as in a 7" tablet or so. I really must have a 9.7/10 inch screen for my eyes, at least. Also, compared to an iPad, the content really wasn't the same. A game I had for iPad wasn't available on Android. It was...

I was having these muscle spasms, which freaked me out royally as a seizure-prone person. I drank a protein shake the other day & it seemed to stop them. Mind you I mixed about 3 different powders (plant based).

Indeed, I am looking for another job. I left about three weeks ago now. When I quit, I had not been paid. I did not like how it all went down WHY I ended up not getting my check. I had been shouted at earlier in the week by my coworker again & then when the end of the week came, on the exact day...

I've had a little anxiety lately, just hyper for no reason..... It has been really something lately, but it seems to be more under control now. Thank goodness.

Right now, I'm not really dating or anything. I feel good about it. There are people I like, but no one is committed to me, really there for me (supportive, encouraging) and also there are no keepers. Work was helpful to me with stabilizing my life somewhat. I realized I had some issues to sort out ...
