Fuck depression
    #10287866 -

It's a bitch.

I was treated for it 2...or was it 3?...years ago, but it's been back with a vengeance for months.

I can't decide if I should get treated for it or not.


Help me decide? Advice? Anything's welcome.

I can't really tell you anything concrete, just that I would suggest trying to exercise vigorously and meditate everyday for a while before doing to a doctor.  But if ya need pills, ya need pills.

Been trying to conquer this shit for months now. I quit treatment last time because I didn't want the pills and thought I was strong enough to deal with my shit on my own.

I was wrong *sigh*

Stupid fucked up brain

See see "stupid fucked up brain" calm down relax. You may need some meds to help cope with you're disorder. I recommend 900mg Seroquel.

I mean if that's what you think than just go ahead and get some pills.  But I refuse to believe that any human being inherently needs pharmaceuticals to live.  If I were you, I'd just do somethin drastic and crazy.  Grab a tent and go backpacking by yourself or something insane like that, just replace your surroundings and get yourself a new mindset.  I know its easy for me to say shit like this, but by the same token its easy for you to just say "my brain is fucked up."  So get out there and don't let depression get in the way of your life. :rainbowcloud:

It's really not that simple...believe me I wish it was.

It's just hard when things that should make you happy have no effect on your mood, except make you feel even shittier when you realize it's not working.

And it's affecting my relationships too. Pfft...I just feel so weak knowing that I can't deal with this on my own, even though I know from my studies in psychology how horrible a disease major depressive disorder is.

Sorry if I sound emo or whatever.

Yeah, I know it's not that easy, but you gotta do something.  There isn't gonna be an easy solution.  You have to basically reprogram your brain naturally, and that's not an easy thing to do.

Well...cognitive therapy failed to keep me going for longer than two years. I know if I were the doctor and my patient succeeded so well in therapy but failed to keep it going, I'd recommend drugs.

Maybe I should look on the bright side of this. Since I refuse to take SSRI's (I don't think they work at all, except for making me a bundle of horny nerves), I might end up on something awesome.

You never know.

What's up with all this stigma around depression? I don't understand why so many people are so dismissive about it, like it's not even a real disease. I mean, the reason I'm so apprehensive about going back in to treatment is that my dad, whose insurance I'm under, thinks depression is a bullshit illness.

No. fuck those pills. depression is not caused by a chemical imbalance, pharmaceuticals cause chemical imbalance.

http://www.health-essentials.info/science/health-issues/ssri01.html

Please, PLEASE before you decide to pick up a prescription, look over the book Medication Madness by Peter R. Breggin. It's probably at your local Borders. If you just skim through it that alone can make an impact on you. I'm currently writing a research paper on how prescription drugs for treating mental disorders cause much more harm than good. The evidence is staggering, so are the court cases, so are the adverse effects.

http://www.breggin.com/

:heart:

I am struggling with depression as well, and it is absolutely terrible and can seem impossible to get out of that I understand. These drugs will only dig you deeper while giving you a false sense of getting better (maybe).

Oh... I didn't read all the posts, lol. Yay you won't go to meds. Psychedelics can perform miracles. A bit of ego loss is what everyone needs. Take it one day at a time. Live a healthy lifestyle. Try and remember the joy and peace and love.

Believe me. I know where you're coming from.

The only drugs that really have ever helped me feel "normal" were xanax and opiates. Not together, of course. I don't know why but when I'm mildly sedated I feel so much more positive and energetic. Other drugs are usually hollow highs (ecstasy, alcohol) that don't make me feel any differently about my situation or exacerbate the problem to the nth degree (mushrooms sometimes, weed always).

Probably something to bring up when I talk to the doctor.

Won't go to SSRI's, MAOI's, and probably not Tricyclics or however you spell it.

I have to agree fully with this statement.
