Depression Understood Forums

Write, thank you so much for your message of hope ! While I think depression is very different, from one person to the next ....and "even if" I thought none of the things you mentioned would help me, the fact is > you have apparently 'fixed yourself'.... and their is often so much truth to...

Thank you Sean. BTW, one of my best friends is a total, self admitted nerd, and we all just love the guy ! Women like him too. He's not even the best looking guy.... + he's built about like the Pillsbury Doughboy, however he never has a problem with finding a woman who wants to be with him. {absolut...

Thanks again Ieris. To be honest, even if you do hear me say something that sounds like I've completely given up, I can go somewhere, get 1 smile from a pretty girl, then I'm right back beating my head against the wall of futility..... .....I hope so too. But some things never change. ~~~~~~~~~~~ BT...

Ieris....... First off, I do appreciate your responses very much, and thanks again. But I swear their is nothing that fires me up more than to hear this BS > "You have made up your mind... you have already decided... you have put yourself within those constraints" Urgggg ! To which I say, ...

I think most of my friends, especially my closest ones, "know" that I hate my life, and have some really serious issues with depression. A few weeks back I was kind of going through a phase when I was like, "Screw it ! If anybody asks, and maybe even if they don't, I'm not going to ke...

CitM, hmmmmm..... You said > If we could step back from the emotional distress for a minute and take a more objective view of what you really want or need. Then the 'quick fix' loses its power and you find yourself stronger to resist the quick fix later and again attain what you really need over wha...

I assume pretty much everybody here has at least 1 or 2 peeps (friends, family, or acquaintances) who, no matter how much you try to explain where your at, and maybe why you think you are where you are...... They just don't get it ! I mean, my boss {the big boss / owner} is a fit, good looking Itali...

Hello Maria :) You have come to the right place ! Oh, Maria, and 100ft... Yes, if you went to any other forum, and started talking about your depression, most of the people reading that, would not understand it, would not want to hear about it, and might quickly label you as a whiner.... But here, &...

Okay well, I was born into a Christian household, so I had my mind made up for me, from the start. However, in the last few years, I've started to bounce all over the place, and have now settled with..... > I am a completely open minded atheist. I'm totally willing to listen to anyone, who thinks th...

Well thanks all. I really appreciate the feedback. 100ft, I watched that vid, and IMPO, the guy that asked if he was ugly.. several X's, was a little too pushy. However, because he was medium build, medium height, and brown skinned, he'd almost certainly get 10 X's more attention than me, from women...

Oh, and I meant to say, Isn't it ironic that so much of the time, I'm feeling obese, weak, scrawny... {dysmorphia in full effect} and at the very same time, I am positive, their are at least some woman, who probably think, "I bet that guy thinks he's the shiz, because he has some muscle, and is...

Thank you Ieris :) Insecure about my looks.... Well kind of, but only because of the lack of attention I get. To say, "bewildered" by my looks might be more accurate. I say this because as I have said, I don't think I'm as hideous to look at, as my almost complete lack of attention, would ...

Oh and BTW, I wonder if anybody here, or anywhere, for that matter, who is morbidly obese, and in terrible physical shape like I was 5yrs ago, ever thinks to themselves > "If only I could lose a bunch of weight, and become really fit and healthy, I'm sure it would help, if not cure my depressio...

It seems nobody posts photos of themselves on this forum, and that's fine..... But with my situation, maybe my looks are a BIG part of the problem ? Not so much by being just flat out ugly, but rather, by just being mean, and scary looking. Sorry. It's called genetics. ~~~~~~~~~~ Oh, and all that BS...

Well ya' know Tazy, in all of my nearly two decades of loneliness, I have had times when I certainly tried too hard.... and lots of times when I didn't try at all..... Then times when I felt great about myself, and my accomplishments, and times when I felt like a worthless POS. Times when I was in h...
