When I said socialising, if you drag your depressed friend to the pub while they will be all doom and gloom, as long as they are there you can keep an eye on them and stop them doing anything silly
getting beat in the head with a golf club 30 or 40 times, that'll get you motivated, atleast to get out of the bed, find your shoes.
I downed 2 bottles of St. John's Wort. Does nothing. Over hyped, herbal crap. My brother has serious, clincial depression. So I just take his antidepressents when I need a pick me up.
Depressed Guy: MORE SEX, I'M FEELING DEPRESSED AGAIN Girl: OMG, But i'm still sore from a few minutes ago, plus were're out of lube! Depressed Guy: *Points to mouth*
Seriously, I'm only 15 and I always take fish oil capsules. My mum brought like a 500 pack bulk of them ages ago. Their not going to do any wrong anyway, the only benefits are good. If they help with depression.. I should start taking more. They help with dry and cracked skin, general health, arthritis, Among many other things. Do a google search to find out what it does.
Ive never had depression before, just the really down feeling. But since just before christmas ive been feeling really down, more so than i ever have before so maybe im what you would call depressed? Im just down about everything, and im finding it really hard to see any good in anything i do, like whats is the point. all i seem to want to do is sleep all the time, which isnt like me at all. I just cant really put a reason to why im feeling like i do. I feel guilty. The whole socialisation thing isnt really helping, im not really fond of the people i hang with anymore....just feel like i dont have anything in common with them anymore which makes me feel worse when i do go out with them. So now im just staying in a lot of the time which increases the loneliness feeling which then adds to the feeling of being down. The only thing keeping me going is training, so i guess to all who are feeling down or are really depressed exorcise is a good way of dealing with it
I realy hate summer. Im only happy if it rains or is in general what normal people call bad weather. Ice and fog is my favourite. Summer makes me depressed because as a child I allways heard kids playing outside and I never went out because I felt awkward around people... still do.
From experience I would say definitely not taking Seroxat! My Dad was on it and it really turned him into another person who was pretty terrifying,he became suicidal on several occasions. He has struggled with it for years and never really found anything to "cure" him as such.It's awful having to watch someone close to you go through it,it's so frustrating as you do want to just say "Snap out of it" or "Pull yourself together" an such,and it was so frustrating for him too. The continuing love and support of the family seem to help somewhat but there are still times when we all feel utter frustration and helplessness.
