Depression and Love

Beholder_fod said:
My life is often governed by the urge to find a mate. If I could stick a pencil in my ear and sever the portion of my brain that pulses love and sex I would. There is a heavy weight on my chest that makes it hard to function, and I fear my despair is caused by loneliness. Yet, I am unwilling to expose myself and enter the dating realm. I have lost the part of me that relates with other people, and it becomes harder to recover with each passing day.

I have depression, but I think depression is a word used to describe a lack of self. I’m a ghost of my former self; more observant, but far more desolate. Does that make any sense? It barely does to me either.

forgot to mention this.....

I know being single is like being unemployed or hungry.

You can act like it doesn't matter, but you still want a job, something to eat, and a relationship

All of us are single at some point in our lives but hey one day at a time will suffice for the time being til you snap out of it :)
 
Kai.. you can't snap out of depression. I know.. I have depression. Being with someone helps, but i still have to deal with it myself.

Depression isn't funny. Having days where I'm so depressed I don't even want to get out of bed is not funny. There are days it's hard to even eat. Sometimes it's like you think nobody in the world loves you, and all you want to do is crawl into a hole and forget life.

But I've been lucky to have a man who loves me uncondintionally and a family who sticks by me through thick and thin. Can you imagine someone with depression without all those?

Depression is not an emotion, Jessica. It's a medical disorder. Therapists have been prescribing medication for it for about 20 to 30 years now. Look it up online, it's a serious problem for the people who have it. I've been on Prozac and other antidepressants on and off since i was 15.

Don't tell a person with depression not to get emotional, they can't help it. It's a chemical imbalance in their brain. Most of the time medication helps, but not always. So I'd read up on it if I was you before making comments like that.
 
I also know that depression is just something you have in your head and u dont need to drugs to cure it. If you're strong enough you can over come it so i will make my comments cause thats my opinion thank uu
 
Ok.. You have your opinion,

I have medical facts and personal expierence...

we can agree to disagree.
 
i have depression for years. i hve tried to get out of it but it doesnt work so medicine is the only way for me especially when u went thru bad experience 3 times.. it can throw your body in a shock, stress, confusion which lead to depression, anxiety attack and panic attacks. it is hard to snap out of it but medication can help you improve but not cure 100% well but it can help you manage with your life better.
 
I believe you need love in your life. and i'm sure anyone would be llucky to have youu they'll love you no matter ur faults! hope u over come ur depression and gd luck with the lovee!:D
 
haha that would be the day i found love.. its just illusion i guess..
 
i have been depressed since i was 11 and was on therapy on and off all those years

and last month i became more depressed when my ex broke up with me and i don't have love one to be in my life and lost lot of weight and refused to do things i normally do and i went back to therapist and i still do therapist for 2 weeks now

depression is serious mood disorder sometimes can lead to suicides
