Could this be the cause of my depression ?
i read that stress leads to depression , about 2 weeks before all this happend to me i played these 2 games on the xbox 360 called dead rising and elder scrolls 4 oblivion. in the first game you had to play a mode where you had to play 14 hours strait but there was no save points and you could pause it so you can come back to it later. the 2nd game you had to find 100 of these rare hard to find plants. these 2 things in the 2 games for some reason was very stressful for me. i had stress playing games alot before but it was fun stress if that makes sense

Help! Understanding and dealing with depression in a young relationship?
Hi all. I'm new to this, but I really love reading the advice you all give and so i figured I'd take a shot at asking a question. So, for almost three months now I've been in a relationship. It's been really great, but lately it's been tough. The thing is, she has depression, and she has had it for around a year now. Up until a couple weeks ago, it would cause an occasional strain, but it always resolved. However, over the past couple weeks, it has gotten worse to the point where our relationship seems to be failing. We don't talk as much, and she seems a little distant. We still have nice moments, and we talk, but it's hard. She is very unpredictable, and I've lost much of my confidence around her. But I know that this is just the depression and I shouldn't take it personally, but it's hard. She seems more cheery around her friends sometimes, and I feel like I do a horrible job helping her sometimes. She hates talking about her feelings, and before when I would bring it up she would get annoyed. She gets upset any time you ask her what is wrong, so I've decided to stop doing that. Is that a good idea? I want to be there for her. I'm beginning to think that i love her. I just miss the old times so badly, when we were so happy to be together and talked more. I don't want to leave her, I want to stick with her through this, but it's just so hard sometimes. please guys, give me some advice, give me some encouragement. I promised her I would stick with her through this shortly after she told me she had depression a couple weeks after we started dating . I don't want to break that promise.Oh, one more thing, I feel like I should mention that we are both in high school.

How do people not fall into depression?
i'm 19, suffering through community collegehave 0 friends that i talk to regularlyand i'm a quiet guyand i've never had a gf due to physical insecuritiesi'm feeling real down, and the only thing keeping me going is the thought that one day i have a strong feeling that i'll make it big in somethingand with that money i can do hobby things that keep me happy, like traveling, working on cars, have high tech electronics, etchow do people stay happy even without those things? if it weren't for the faint possibility i could achieve that, i'd probably have quit a long time ago
A question about depression.?
I've been depressed for about three or four months now. I was kind of in denial at first, but I came to realize that I was acting completely out of the ordinary and after doing my research, I guess I came to that conclusion. I'm doing exercise, eating well, getting as much sleep as I can not a lot... , but it's still there. But that's not what this question is about. I've started to notice a pattern in how I act, and one of those patterns is that increasingly, I seem to try to find reasons to be more depressed, or to justify my depression, maybe. Talking to people about my problems helps in the moment, but afterwards I become more aware of how terrible I feel and it gets worse, too. I have difficulty talking about how I feel, and I always end up purposefully remembering all of the times I kept my feelings to myself, of the things I didn't feel I could talk to them about, and I start thinking and being retrospective and then I start digging myself into a hole where I push shame onto myself for anything I can think of. I'm not even trying to use it as a way to motivate myself to feel better, but I have this automatic instinct to make myself more depressed in reaction to just about anything. Not to ramble or anything. I'm kind of interested in the psychology of the human mind, so I was curious as to whether anyone else has reacted this way to depression, or if there's some kind of explanation for this behavior. I really think it's ridiculous but by the time I realize it's happening, that realization just turns into another thing I can use against myself. Any ideas or thoughts on this? Interpretations?
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...

Ex-Friends, Depression, and Attempted Suicide. (PLEASE I NEED ADVICE)?
Hey guys. I just turned fourteen, and for the past few months, my life has slowly started going downhill. The group of kids I used to call my best friends, has abandoned me. I managed to keep a few of them as buddies, but the majority have left me. They thought I talked trash behind there back and that's why they shut me out of the group. This has really, really, REALLY messed me up. But, this is not the only reason I'm depressed now. I have been depressed for about two years now. My family has been ripping apart, starting with my parents. They have been fighting and it makes me want to just break down and cry. On top of that, my brother and I have been arguing like crazy. He always makes me feel like worthless trash. He insults me every time he see's me and it really bothers me. A little background information about me I'm not FAT, but I'm not skinny either. I'm in between. I have long hair, sort of like Justin Beiber's, and I get crazy amounts of hate for that. I can't tell if the guys are just jealous that girls love my hair or what's going on. I have been in depression for two years like I said , and even with my old group of friends I have been extremely conscious. Because of this, I am anorexic and never eat. When my parents found out about my anorexia, they flipped out on me. Now for the suicide part. About two months after my friends dumped me, I decided life really wasn't worth the pain. So, one day when I was home alone, I texted my friend Jake we've been friends forever , and told him that I didn't enjoy life anymore and I wanted to kill myself. He kept telling me no. I had stopped answering my phone at this point. I took a big knife, at least 9 inches, and slid it across my throat. I didn't start bleeding, but there was a big red line across my neck. I pulled it back, and slid again. This time I did bleed. My blood shot all over the place. But, that's not the end of it. I was rigged, a tight rope around my neck, slightly above my cut, standing on a chair. I tried kicking out the chair, but it wouldn't go. To this day I have no idea what was keeping that chair still. Then, I bursted out crying and untied the knot. I got down, and cleaned off my neck. The blade did not reach my jugular vein. I don't know how or why I'm alive, but I do believe it was a miracle. I'm not religious, but it seems like a work of god. I understand if this a bit un believable, I barely believe it. A bit of extra info, I did not go to hospital. I was pretty good at hiding the cut. The cut wasn't huge like I imagine your thinking it is. It was about 3 inches wide left to right . I covered it with bandages and got my parents to believe I covered it up because I slipped on my bike, and I was fine. Now, I have no idea what to do with my life. I don't know how to get my old friends back, I don't want to be depressed anymore, and I want to move on from my attempted suicide. I think about it every day and I am sick of it. Can you please give me advice? Anything is appreciated. Thanks, Griffin

I am a junior in highschool and I have been blowing off school due to my depression I can't think straight . But now I really want to go to college and get a good job I want a job that will let me travel to foreign countries, like being an english teacher .My question is, is it too late for me to start working hard to get into a good college?I have barely done any school work in the past year or two, is there still a chance to redeem myself?I currently have a 4.1 GPA due to my freshmen year and beg. of sophmore year right before i entered into my depression. I know im naturally smart but my work ethic is destroyed now, and Im pretty far behind in my knowledge of things, I havent done homework at home since last year.
