I rather be depressed than to take medication and to go seek therapy.

Depression helps me in some way, I don't wanna feel good or be happy all the time.

It really feel good to cry....

Go ahead Arnold Schwarzenegger, approve gay marriage!!!! Make

Naw....

Just like someone said, "then if I would feel like I'm not myself"

I feel the same way, I don't wanna take medication or anything....
I like the way I am... I feel comfortable with being this way.

Just like some people in New Orleans who refused to leave their homes...
even when they are in worst shape, they are scare of being rescue.
They rather be in their home where toxic water and diseases surrounding them.
And even people still stay in Florida or California... they don;t care
about earthquake and hurricane, they like living where they are. They rather rebuilding their homes there, no matter what.

I like being in a Depression State....
When I was in California, I cried so hard, during my cousin's funeral,
afterward, I nearly had a pneumonia...

Me being depressed is like when a person being an alcoholic who refused
to seek help...
 
What is the purpose of taking medication and getting therapy
when you're still have to come home with your mother saying "You're stupid".

My mom keep saying I am stupid or whatever bad things she would say to me.
And I didn't like the way she talked to my nephew, putting him down.
And my nephew's mother keeps calling him "chicken head"
Sometimes he would cry or be confused.

So that is why I just stay depressed... because happiness wear off quickly.

Every couple of months or so I go through a small period where I am severely depressed. I don't want to do anything, I'm frustrating with everyone, and I go through withdrawal. Lately I've been experiencing this more frequently, and for longer periods. I just don't know what to do. I've never taken any medication for it, and I don't want to. Anyone got any advice? And don't just say "snap out of it."

My advice may sound cliché but ride the mountain bike at mountains & hills, take a long walk, weightlifting, boxing, play street basketball games, swimming, etc.. most of the time, these kind of exercises or outdoor activities will help you out but it does not 'guarantee' result though.

I had that problem time to time for few years and my mother gave me a strange advice (at that time). I took hers and it worked for me. It is quite 'radical' for many AD'ers around here so I rather to keep that to myself unless you'd still want to know, I can pm you a advice that my mother gave me few years ago. Actually, I did what my mother suggested, I haven't felt depressed for a long time.

AJ's advice is good. Talk to someone else who you'd trust do help a lot.

:smoking: ah cool 'cause I already like somebody else but thanks for the clear up. :rofl:

I dont get along with any catohlics, no offense.
 
miss p... u are strange.. if you think that is depression, u need to think again.

# Psychology. A psychiatric disorder characterized by an inability to concentrate, insomnia, loss of appetite, anhedonia, feelings of extreme sadness, guilt, helplessness and hopelessness, and thoughts of death. Also called clinical depression.
#

1. A reduction in activity or force.
2. A reduction in physiological vigor or activity: a depression in respiration.
3. A lowering in amount, degree, or position.

u are just pessimistic seeking for attention.

anyway pills does help depression in some ways, because some depression like mine was caused by chemical in my brain, the chemical in my brain was not level and it caused me to get depression, so meds does help that to make it level again. For other people who have depression and not caused by chemical is probably cuz of one big impact in their life and dont know how to deal with it. ie.. a death in the family 4 years ago, and still dont know how to deal with that guilt, sadness, etc etc.

that is my perspective of depression.

sweetie, you are being verbally abused. Your mom is abusive. I am sure you are NOT stupid.

She is, by calling you stupid, making herself feel better about her own self. Which is wrong and not right.
No wonder you are feeling depressed, I would be too if my mother, the most important person to me, was putting me down like that.

Your mom definitely should talk to dr Phil - like :) and parental classes.

You, you can only help yourself, and when you do you'll change and sometimes people respond to the change by treating you differently, too.

Why don't you try a psychotherapy for yourself? Most likely you indeed don't need any medication because you are sad because you are being abused verbally.

Of course I can't say for sure because I am not a doctor but I have some personal exeprience which I speak from.
Get help sweetie.

Psychotherapy is basically counselling, and it can work wonders if you really want to change yourself and your life,
but you need to find a therapist whom you trust and feel comfortable with and sometimes that means trying a few professionals before settling on one.
I am sure your family dr could recommend someone.
Good luck sweetie.

i get depressed a lot , I don't deal with death that well, and when I finally feel happier something else happens. Even if it isn't somebody i know ....the war makes me depressed ..stuff that happens in detroit makes me depressed. But i try and write in a notebook or listen to music to drain it out.
