16. I do feel depressed at times, but today was a pretty good day, actually.  I typed all the numbers into my graphing calculator as I did the test.I am not taking any drugs or talking to any professionals about my moods, though I did for 9 years when I was in school. |

Originally posted by Tarale I don't do a single thing about it. I did once go to the doctors about it, but I chickened out. So yeah, unmedicated, untreated, and pretty much no-one knows about it. They all just think it's pure laziness why I can't be bothered doing anything, and ignore pretty much the other signs of depression that I probably have. :/ |

| hmmm, 30. Well, a little higher than i expected. I went to the doc once and mentioned the depressed moods i've been getting. He said i don't have clinical depression, and saw no need to give me any drugs. He did recommend a physc. but i haven't really decided whether i should go...  Right now, its a no.What i feel seems a little strange...it can last for weeks and then all of a sudden..... Kazaam! Its gone for a couple days. And when I least suspect it, the moods come back and strike me with a heavy blow. Sometimes with just a little nudge. Its either severe or not so severe. Since it seems so random at times, has its highs and lows, i can't be diagnosed with clinical depression. Anyway, I've had this for several years now. At first i thought it was a teenage thing, but now that i'm 18, almost 19, I can't help but wonder.... |

The Tarale says...Originally posted by Slay To clarify, I do know the difference between clinical depression and feeling the blues, but I must apologize for bringing an argument to this thread. I take the problem quite seriously, having suffered clinically-diagnosed depression off and on for my entire life, even young childhood, but it was not my place to bring debate into this topic. I apologize. Anyway, to contribute properly to this topic, I'll divulge how I handled depression in my teen years and how I currently handle it. The depression of my teen years was sudden, and unexpected. I was as happy as most people are, but after a Christmas break, I couldn't bear to go back to school. The thought of interacting with other people terrified me, I lost all interest in anything that I once considered fun. All I wanted to do was sleep, all day, everyday. I began to skip school. At one point, it got particularly pathetic; I wasn't bold enough to simply run away from the school, so I hid in the bathroom for the whole day. Another aspect of my depression is that I was embarassed of it, I was mortified to let anyone know that I was depressed. It was, I believe, my mother who started taking me to a psychiatrist. I hated going, it was the worst day of the week to me. It got to the point that the psychiatrist wasn't really involved, I'd spend the two hours explaining my feelings to my parents. The worst part of it was, that they would repeatedly ask me "why" I was depressed. I tried with all my might to explain that there is no single cause, that I just feel this way, but nobody, not either of the psychiatrists or either of my parents, would believe me, which only made things worse. Looking back on the situation, I reason it like this; from the time I was very young until my teen years, things just kept building up, and I kept it all to myself. Imagine you take a ten gallon fish tank and put a single drop of water in it every day. It's going to take years to fill up, but eventually, it will overflow. That's what I think happened. Therapy wasn't really helping me, because no matter what I said, nobody believed a word I said, so what was the point of saying anything at all? I tried drugs, Paxil in particular, to no avail. All they did was give me side-effects to worry about, on top of dealing with the fact that I saw life as pointless and meaningless at that time. I suppose my case was unusual, because though I hate nobody, I've never loved, nor even liked any of my family members. I hear other people talking about going through depression all the time, and one thing remains true; they all had someone in their family who was supportive and who was helping them through it, or wished them the best. I was always on my own. The way I overcame my depression (I never use the word "cured" or "got over" it) is not a method I would reccomend to anyone else who is reading this. I packed up some of my things, and I left my home of the time. I had to get away from those people, those people who were making me so miserable, I had to be on my own. I went deep in the woods, where I spend a week living off food I had packed with me. Once that ran out, I had to do the thing I regret most; I had to lie to my friends. I would go to payphones and call up a friend, asking to spend the night, lying to them about the fact that I wasn't living at home anymore. Each night I spent eating different food from different people, sleeping under a different roof, having different surroundings and no constants. It sounds lousy, but it was exactly what I needed. I felt I was trapped in a horrible world, and I finally got a chance to escape it and see a little bit more of the world. Being able to go out there and experience things lead me to overcome a huge hurdle in my depression; a feeling that the entire world was as horrible as my world. I saw that this was not the case, and very, very slowly, my torpor began to fade. But I wouldn't reccomend running away from home to anyone else; my case wasn't the usual case so it probably won't work out as great for you. I deal with my depression today in a similar, if less abrupt way; by retreating from the rest of the world temporarily -- with due notice to those around me, of course. Some people need to visit a chiropractor regularly, to relieve stress on their spine. Some people need to get their ears cleaned out regularly, to relieve stress on their hearing. I need to escape reality regularly, to relieve stress on my very being. Another thing which helped me was finding my own spiritual beliefs. I considered myself Christian for my youth and teen years, even though no one attempted to force it on me. I tried my best to live up to the apparent expectations of the church, but I never felt I was good enough. People around me told me I was a great person, but I didn't listen to them because I thought that God was watching me, judging me, and that I didn't meet his approval. This was, obviously, one of my biggest stressors - though don't mistakenly think I'm accusing Christianity of anything - it's simply not for me. When I removed that from my life, I was greatly relieved. Now, I have my own beliefs, and on top of that, I've found a totem, which I confide in in the same manner in which many people confide in God, Allah and so forth. If I were to give advice to anyone else who's depressed, above all else, I'd reccomend removing all the stressors you possibly can from your life, and don't let anyone else tell you to stop crying. Cry as much and as often as you can, it can really make you feel better. Aside from that, I believe that - just as each person is unique - each case of depression is unique. There is no one method or practice or word or drug or anything that will make it all go away; you have to overcome it yourself, but that's not to say you're on your own, so try new things, you may just be surprised at what helps you to hang onto life. Today, when I get severely depressed, I am lucky enough to have people who can help me through it (something I probably would have benefitted from in my teen years). Hopefully, you all have people you can rely on, too. Being loved is, perhaps, the only universal thing which can deter depression. |

| (first off, sorry for bumping a topic this old) I got a 4. Maybe because it's in my blood to redirect it all into rage. I figure you can wear that down fairly quickly with the right outlets, being depressed is a self-feeding cycle I don't want to mess with. Then again, I'm at the point of where I have a fair amount of control of my adrenal glands, I think that's a bad sign considering the experience it takes to manage that (the "on" switch is a looot easier than the "off").

Clinical Depression isn't just feeling sad, sometimes it's flat out fucken SCARY.
