Depression

[Alex H]

Hey, I don't know if this will be any use to anyone, but this site is Australia's best on depression, whether it's a chemical imbalance in your brain or looking at personal "issues".

The info on drugs that are avaliable is excellent. And drugs DO work even if you don't like the idea of messing with the chemicals in your body. Even if you don't like the idea, anti-depressants can at least get you out of your current mood, so you get a break from the low you're on where you can have a proper look at your life and decide on any changes you need to make.

Beyond Blue helped me identify my depression, (SAD) which was a great thing, as no-one had been able to give me a proper answer as to why I felt like slashing my wrists every February.

If you are depressed, please have a look. If you aren't, have a look anyway. Chances are, if you don't hit a big low sometime in your life, one of your friends, or a family memeber will and you will be able to give them some help.

Dammit... I was supposed to do it this morning... but when I woke up, I just knew that I couldn't. I'm seeing a therapist tomorrow, maybe he can help me... and I'm gonna ask for stronger medication...

That's great!! You are rising again!! It's a very, very brave thing. Remember, therapy isn't about what others are doing to you, it is about what you are doing to yourself.

Keep rising, and don't look down!!

Love,
Ann

That's the spirit Petri.

Remember, there's lots of people that truly care about you and are always here for support.
Don't ever lose faith in yourself. We never have.

Obviously you must have some of your own narcisistic mental issues you need to work out. There may come a time when you may be in the same position... what will you do then? (Petri, don't listen, this one is "beneath" us.) Respond if you want, my ignorance button is lit. You aren't even worth arguing with.

Suicide is normally not as turned out as it seems when your dead, because you may never live again. Or you could be born as someone with an even worse condition.
Even if you havnt made any new friends in a "long" time (any amount). that doesnt mean you cant start over.

Here&#39;s some help:

If your in school (most depression is in highschool):
You should try to look hard for others that are also like you (trust me, your never alone). Alot of normal looking people are actually depressed and have barely any friends also. Once you get out of school.. collage is very spaced out. Classes are much shorter and people are more mature and friendly. You could start a new life in collage and the workforce. You wont have to worry about those people that hurt you, because you could allways easily change the place your going to just in case.

A friend of mine has depression (it&#39;s a major secret), and i&#39;ve really helped cover his back.


If someone wants to fight you: hell, running is not for wimps. You could report him for "PHYSICAL ASSUALT" which is a "CRIME"

If someone totally talks shit to you: do something to really make him regret it, like try to Pat him on the back really hard a few times and say," Soo, why are you here?" .. "I wasnt aware that I accidentally went to class clown school instead of getting an education" .. "Please, please&#33;, keep that lame stand up comdey in the bars. Thanks a bunch". ... and if he tries to fight, heh laugh really loud and say.."Oh my god, now your asking for an assualt charge on your perminant record.. that&#39;s haaaalarious". (if he hits ya, run to a staff member of the school and let them know that some guy out of nowhere deliberately hurt you for no reason".


hope this helps

Shut the fuck up arsehole. If you don&#39;t want to try to help the guy with a few kind words and some advise, piss off. No one is forcing you to post here.

It&#39;s ok mate, he&#39;s got a history for this kind of thing. Once a troll, always a troll. He&#39;s having a wee bit of a tantrum just now because I made the mistake of ribbing him for being an "amoral shithead". My bad, sorry about that.
