Depresion

[west12]

I felt this way for a long time...and I really thought that ..hey this is me...a pesimist whit no energy whatsoever who like to sleep all day and who really gets iritated about ppl when they open theyre mouth or suggest me to do this or that.
But today got the word depresion in my mind...just wondered if saddnes and worthlessness may be the cause of depression and looked on the internet about it

This bazzled me....I found all the symptoms to match exactly my character and the most disturbing, the suicide thoughts which I have for a while ( thinking about it..watching on the window and imaging how would be if I would jump or in the car how would be to veer left and fall 100 m on my road to the country side..do not get to impacientated..i didnt made any plans..not there yet..) are listed as a symptom for depresion


I don;t know..the thought of knowing that I might have depresion leaves me whit no emotions whatsoever..guess I m not surprised
But I wonder if I have depresion and my personality right now are symptoms...then How I am whit no depresion?

Anyway..I just wanted to ask if theres some techniques in curing depresion..meditation I guess....smth..
Is hard to go to my family ant tell them that I might have depression...and if I tell my mom about suicide thoughts she;ll just freak out...don;t want that,it will get me cranky

Maybe some pills

Depression is something that has to be diagnosed by a qualified medical professional, and even though you may have all the symptoms, you need to get seen by one, and soon, especially if you are having these suicidal thoughts.


Is hard to go to my family ant tell them that I might have depression...and if I tell my mom about suicide thoughts she;ll just freak out...don;t want that,it will get me cranky You don't have to tell your mom you are having those types of thoughts- just tell her that you believe you are clinically depressed and should see a doctor. You can go to a regular medical practitioner, and he/she will refer you to a professional. If you are old enough you can go to a doctor by yourself, and if you are not, you can talk to your school psychologist, and they can then refer you to other help.



Maybe some pills No one here is qualified to tell you whether you need to take something or what, and to do so would be against forum rules.

I've been there. I definitely second what CFTraveler has said about seeing a doctor. Just go, talk to the doctor, and proceed from there. If the doctor (or some other specialist) thinks you should be on medication, they'll sort that out.

Generally, there are also other things going on with depression, though. Medication can help relieve the symptoms in some cases (again, this is something only a medical practitioner can decide), but usually there are other issues that can be dealt with through various kinds of therapy. Once the other issues are dealt with, the depression will often spontaneously heal itself. Mine did.

Definitely see a doctor. That's the first step, and it was the first step I took.

I have been through that, I am afraid. I still feel the clouds sometimes, but I am aware enough to manage them. So, what did I do? In my country, psychiatry is not that developed. And I don't believe in pills. As far as I am concerned. depression is caused by wrong thinking patterns. I tried a blend of NLP (neuro linguistic programming), yoga, pranic healing, and meditation. The horror passed away in no time. :) I really don't know what will work for you. Let your inner self guide you. Take counselling, do meditation, exercise your body, develop a love for something or someone, or see a doctor. Any of the above methods will work. Wish you all the best.
