Depression Understood Forums

Hi BP + Brownie21! Nice to see you again (as always). I think there actually is a way to be happy.... It may sound a bit odd. My questions to you both are: What is it exactly that you want? What do you think will make you happy? Of all that you think will make you happy, which is the most important...

I don't know how to be happy either. It's seems like I just get bye. I am never happy for any length of time. Right now nothing keeps my interest. I am fixated on death and dying and I can't do anything. All I did was sleep today basically. I got new medicine, Cymbalta and I am upping my Seroquel b...

Recently a very interesting question occurred to me. What I am incapable of being happy? This occurred to me at several points. One of them was because of living with this disease of depression, this heart palpitation of the mind. Of course I can smile and laugh every now and then but really I can't...

Surviving to be honest with you.

The one thing that I'm mildly good at is writing. But then again, how good am I when not even my school literary magazine rejects my work? Writing.... :) Wow! That's good! Then, that means your hard work + trial + error moments weren't for naught. You found something. Still, the sad thing that I've...

But what's wrong with that? ^_^ (the geek, nerd + otaku part) You're alright! :D Alright.... Alright.... I can't help but ask.... Now who will you cosplay as? ??? ;) Well, I've cosplayed as Vash the Stampede and Nicholas D. Wolfwood of Trigun. Neo of the Matrix Trilogy. Colonel Roy Mustang and Scar...

My daughter loves anime, plays D&D, and always has a book in her hand even when she goes out to dinner on a date. She plays online role playing games such as WOW and Everquest. And know what.... she's just like me. I found a husband and was married for 22 wonderful years. My daughter is in her ...

Perhaps, the people you see are shallow??? It's really interesting that you mention that.... because that's the same thing that happened to me. I got along better with people who I didn't see than people who lived next door to me, people I saw in class, people I did projects with, etc. etc. Oddly e...

In regards to the stigma we all have attached to depression I'm really proud to be a part of trying to disipate it! I am part of a group that is going into schools and talking to kids about mental health awareness and the stigma that surrounds it. It's our second year but I have 4 presentations com...

I'm trying not to. But I keep looking at my situation and how bleak it is.

Nearly 30 years old, never had a job, and the only thing I'm even mildly good at, no one wants or needs anymore.

How does one go through that without becoming addicted to something?

If only others felt the same way. At least those that I see and speak to face-to-face.

If you did your best, then don't bother with that person. If you did what you could, even though it was not 'your best' or 'perfect', then you did what you could, & the only thing to do is to try to improve. Please don't let anyone make you feel less than a person. Grades are just grades. Peopl...

I'm sorry to hear that, but have you been able to find out what 'exactly' creeped her out in the 1st place? Has anyone ever said what it was??? I believe that there will be someone that WON'T leave you hanging like that. Please don't give up. That's the thing they all say that to me but they never ...

Recently, I had been taking this fairly difficult class and I had gotten back my first paper and had gotten a 67 on it with a lot of comments that I thought were rather scathing. "1 source? 4 are required! Why not just turn in these pages from the source as your report?!" Then there's the ...
