Was manic depressive when I was eighteen and tried to end it all numerous times,aspirin overdose,wrist slashing,stabbing,the last time stabbed myself in the stomach and barely survived.Dr told me and the caring nursing staff the only one to decide was myself.
I swore I would never let myself get so low again,Spent 6 months in hospital and another 6 recuperating,decided I needed a goal to aim for so joined the ambulance service,loved the job,never looked back,got married to a nurse,had two wonderful children and now a grandson i doat on,its taken a lot to admit to this on here but it goes to show you can master your own feelings. So get up and do something like me and you will make it.God Bless and be strong.

Hello, my name is Philip - I haven't been suffered from dep. yet. Still i hope to help you with this toughts.
If you hvae been diagnosed with depression, you may wonder why it had to happen to you. There is a fact: anyone can get depression. Like any serious medical condition, depression needs to be treated.Depression is not something you can just switch off. It's caused by an imbalance of brain chemicals, along with other factors.
Major depressive disorder, commonly referred to as "depression," can severely disrupt your life, affecting your appetite, sleep, work, and relationships.
The symptoms that help a doctor identify depression include:
* constant feelings of sadness, irritability, or tension
* decreased interest or pleasure in usual activities or hobbies
* loss of energy, feeling tired despite lack of activity
* a change in appetite, with significant weight loss or weight gain
* a change in sleeping patterns, such as difficulty sleeping, early morning awakening, or sleeping too much
* restlessness or feeling slowed down
* decreased ability to make decisions or concentrate
* feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, or guilt
* thoughts of suicide or death
If you are experiencing any or several of these symptoms, you should talk to your doctor about whether you are suffering from depression.
Realize...Diagnose...Treat...Feel better.
Best regards, P

Real depression prevents the sufferer from knowing they have it .
It's usually family and friends that bring it to the attention of a doctor .
doctors can help with medication in the short term but the medication can become the problem in the long term .
If you or a friend feel the need medication ask a doctors advice but be certain to tell him that you would like a date entered into your records stating when he should start weaning you of medication because all to often they just don't bother .
IT CAN BE BEATEN !

My therapist told me for nearly 9 months that she thought I was depressed. Until I crashed & burned up I thought I was holding my own. Silly me.
Once I went down I realized that I had been in a cycle of depression for a really long time. Sometimes I was really bad & other times I did do ok.
I actually went and got the book "10 days to better self esteme" and that is my savior. Sounds funny I realize, except that I have told about 3 of my clients (Im a Massage Therapist) who suffer from depression as well, and every single one of us came back from that wicked abyss with the help of that book.
Its written by a shrink - its Really, Truly helpful!! It worked better that med's for all of us.

i found my self in an isolated area thinking what have i done. you cant eat, your losing weight......etc
?
It depends what has caused this bout of depression, or if you have had it long term!!!
I have suffered for year's through past events. Psychiatry, Therapy, all helps but you need to get to the root of the problem, before you can start proper, self healing. If you would like to talk, chat to me, you are quite welcome, in confidence obviously.
Go to you doctor aslo, he will help, either his-self or fereral.

It is really hard at 1st to know.ultimatly if you remain unsatisfied and unhappy whilst everything in your life is really good them u may have it.
there are about 8 syptoms like:
sleeping too much or too little
appetite being too much or too little
constant depressing thoughts including self harming and or suicide (although that is at the extreme end)
over anaysis of small issues (thats what I had)
leading to constant internalysing of thoughts and issues (this is mild shitzophrenia (when you can turn it off or there is a running commentry in your head of what your doing)
anti depressants are good they do work. but short term eat alot of fresh salmon and oily fish and consume omega oil pills, tghey are a natural antidepressant
speak to a doctor.
It may cure other issues that may have seemed unrelated including.
I dont think most people question whether they are depressive unless they are to some extent, cos its not a conclusion most people jump to, I think more people have it than realise and for me anti d's didnt make me happy like I hoped, just level and took away the mental anguish and over-internalising
good luck, (search up depression symptoms and see if they mach with what you have.

I currently suffer from depression. Not everybody has the same symptoms when they suffer from it. The symptoms can include, sleep problems, weight problems, withdrawal from your normal activities, tearfulness for no apparent reason. These are just a few. If you feel you are depressed go to your gp. It may take time but depression CAN be defeated. Although I'm not quite there myself, members of my family who have been depressed HAVE defeated it. I wish you good luck and please see your gp.

yes it can be defeated but you must allow yourself to be helped!!! sometimes medication is necessary and you have made the first step by admiting you have it....its ok you will get over it mine comes and goes and i have little episodes now and again I personally find excersize a must as it releases the happy hormones in your body.....no1 see your doc no 2 be easy on yourself no 3 let people help you well done hon for making your first step your 1 step nearer to recovery....xxx
