Ive been feeling very depressed recently, Ive suffered with depression for years, but only recently its really been getting to me. cry Whenever I think about my life I get sad, and its really hard because my family dont seem to understand me much.

Has anyone got any tips/ideas for me about feeling better with my depression? Thanks! wink

Yes, a few things like my pets, music, games and stuff like that. But its just when I'm not doing those things, i feel really sad, and feel like I have no purpose in life, like im never going to be anything/anyone..

and then I start thinking that im useless ect. sometimes it really feels like there is no way out and that im gonna be like this forever..

well when you feel like that you should think about your pets or anything else that makes you happy
really you are worth and you will be somebody someday
your just conflicted with yourself right now but it will get better
it just takes a while

i know how you feel but dont worry i also know there will be an end to this to *hugs*

Thanks Shadowly darkness *hugs* I hope there will be an end to this. Ive had depression for years now, and its so hard when I see other people/kids being normal and happy all the time. its like I'm weird or something, because i mainly feel sad and depressed.

Do you think its possible to truly overcome depression? or do you think people get through it, but still have it? confused

well personally i think people are depressed with a reason...
there sensative for everything around them
so i dont think people an truly overcome depression
i think a person wil always have it but wil life with
ups and downs
what i do truly believe is that a major life change can change
your downs into ups
cause you leave every thing that made you feel bad behind
so yeah i guess thats what i think of it...

Thanks Shadowlydarkness, yeah, I'm feeling abit better today, I think i have more ups when i have something to look forwould to. and I once read that depression is just a 'state of mind' like a feeling, like your sad, happy. but that you can just change the way you think about things, and then somewhat overcome it. but i dont know, i think when i let myself feel bad, i feel bad, but when i make myself 'force myself' to feel better, then i feel better, it kinda works sometimes xD

well it sounds logical that when your depressed you start to imagne things
like when you really want something or think about it much you dream about it
i think its sort of the same with this...
maybe you are feeling lonely and you want someone close so you think you hear voices
atleast thats how it is with me
i feel lonely specially now my best friend is no longer living in the neighbourhood
so i keep hearing voices calling my name
but i dont find it negative
i dont know about you though...
PostPosted: Tue Mar 10, 2009 8:28 am


Yeah, it could be that, but I dont know who this voice is, or who it sounds like. its a woman who keeps calling my name sometimes. its like someone is whispering in my ear. My mum thinks it could be a spirit or something, like my nan, but i dont know.


It could be just me, and my imagination. or just another symptom of my depression. rolleyes 3nodding
