Is depression a gift or a curse?
I go through moods of depression as everyone does but mine are heavier.. last week I was on a high, happy, fooling around with my friends when it hit me.. the depression bug t'was like a train. Getting to my question is it a gift or a curse? In this mood of depression I sat in the corner not talking on my own.. and as everyone was still happy and joking around no one noticed me.. it was as if I had faded. But in this fade I could see how happiness was fake more like a veil that people put on. I could see how others acted.. it was as though there was more than just black and white. It was like there was a black, grey and white and I was able to see who was in what colour while I sat there in the grey.. My point being is it good that you are able to see happiness as a curtain people hide behind or is it bad that you feel total disconnection from everything...
I don't know what to do (depression)?
i've been depressed for about a year now. i've had quite a hard upbringing parents divorcing, sexual abuse 3 times, eating disorders, low self esteem but now i actually don't know how to cope anymore. i'm 14 years old, and have absolutley NO self esteem. it's killing me. i can't walk to school because i know it's going to mess my appearance up, i can't look people in the eye because i feel like i look horrible and i still starve myself because i have a constant fear that i'm fat.my mum knows about all of this, but she doesn't understand properly. she doesn't realize how hard it is for me to go to school and face people. teachers are always hard on me because i tend not to talk to them, and my friends call me an attention seeker because i occassionally self harm.i actually just want to stay at home and do my work there but i know that's not possible.i want to get on some type of pill that's going to make me happier, but i'm not sure if i can get one?i just can't face anyone at the minute. i never leave the house, i don't want any hobbies, i break down in classes and even though i'm in therapy, it's not helping.i just don't know what to do anymore. Can anyone give advice on what to do?I'm desperate Thanks< 3
Help! Intrusive thoughts, OCD and depression:(?
Okay. So, I am a 15 year old male and have a wonderful family who i love very much and many friends. I also play sports. I also smoke pot and drink. Lately, I have become very depressed. Since I was a kid, I have always had thoughts like " If I dont put that ball in a different place, something bad is going to happen" . Recently theyve gotten worse. I also go through days of depression. I am sometime extremely hyper which leads me to believe I also have ADHD. The worst part is the intrusive thoughts. Picking up a knife or what not always makes me think " what if I go kill my family?" and I am always thinking I'm some cold blooded killer because of these terrible intrusive thoughts, even though i know i would never act on them and I am scared of them. I dont even let my cat sleep in my room because I am scared I will kill him in my sleep or something. Its very depressing, and scary even though I know it is a symptom among people with OCD. I just want to know what to do to get rid of these thoughts other than meds because i am not telling my parents, and I know you will say I should but im sorry its not happening anyways, I am so sick of these sick thoughts coming into my head. I have never been diagnosed with OCD, depression etc. because I don't want to tell my parents. I also obsess over schizophrenia always thinking I have it, even though I show none of the symptoms. Kind of a side note though, because I'm pretty sure thats just part of my OCD hypochondria. Anyways, please respond, or if you have a similar story please post it, I love knowing I am not alone thank you

Can depression hit anyone?
Hey guys, My best friend has been feeling really depressed. Shes always crying at school, & Last tine I saw really bad cuts on her wrists. I always ask her whats wrong & she tells me its nothing, Since she always has been the girl that had it all, she got really sad when they told her she had High Blood Pressure, & shes always telling me her stomach hirts, & her head hurts & im guessing she stresses out about that? But her parents really do love her & i dont wanna see her or her parents go thru anything. Can depression hit anyone just like that or their has to be a reason?What can I do to help?
Is there a way to STOP depression?
I'm 14, and I had a hard time with anxiety, then depression the last few months.to make a long story short, A few weeks after school started, I got anxiety, and so I started skipping class. There was so much pressure that I guess I got depression. The psychiatrist thinks my depression was situational, rather then something I've struggled with for a long time, since it seemed to come and go with my anxiety. But I'm starting to have times where I feel more depression then normal for a teenage girl. I'm not aware of anything that has happened recently to make me feel like this. My life has actually gotten quite a bit better recently. The psychiatrist mentioned bipolar, but I really don't think that's a problem. The depression feels too controling to do anything about it, where as normally if I was in a bad mood, I could do something to make me happy again. Do you thinks its possible I could actually have a depression disorder? Not just when my anxietys bad? Believe me, I'm not one of those teenagers who wants everyone to tell me something wrong so I can go tell my friends for attention. I've had about 5 different therapists all tell me something different, and I really would rather be perfectly healthy. I've gone through too much mental sh t, and all I want is to be normal again, but these depressed moods are getting worse and more controlling for no apparent reason. Is there any way I can basically stop whatever depression I have? When I had depression before, it was based on my anxiety. But even now, my anxietys getting better, but I'm feeling more depressed then I should. What do you think?.. Thanks
Are these feelings of depression normal?
I'm an senior in high school, and 18. I have Senioritis, and I'm ready to go to college. I'm a sweetheart guy and I could be one of the nicest people you could ever meet, I have tons of friends, but I feel like I need to be looking for true love. I really want a girlfriend that I can love forever. I don't want to be single forever. Everyday when I go to school I feel sad and a bit lonely. I like to play video games, but I feel like I should be dating and hanging with some girl that I would love. Is this normal? What should I do?

My depression is ruining my sleep pattern. What can I do?
At night, I force myself to stay up late because if I go to bed at my normal sleeping time, my depression kicks into full gear and I feel suicidal I end up just lying in my bed for an hour or two before I can finally fall asleep. When I stay up to the point that I'm very tired 1 3 AM , I can fall asleep without having to deal with negative feelings. No matter what time I fall asleep, I have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning simply because I don't want to deal with the real world and wish I could lie in bed forever. Last year I went through a period where I would go to bed right after school and force myself to sleep till the next day.
How should I combat my depression?
I have been really sick the past few days and I did not go to school today. My girlfriend and I got in a big argument last night she is taking another guy to a school dance, didn't ask me how I felt about it first and she won't talk to me. I have a history of deep and heavy depression. I don't know what to do. I have been playing my piano for hours because it's the only thing that keeps me occupied. But as soon as I stop, I just feel depressed again. I'm afraid that one of these days I'll attempt suicide when nobody is home and I'll mess up the lives of my loved ones. I almost swallowed a handful of tylenols this morning out of grief but didn't at the last second because my girlfriend texted me. I need help What can I do to get rid of these feelings?
