People that have earned my love and sympathy

If you find what I'm about to type pathetic and a cry for pity/attention and have nothing positive to reply in it then get the fuck out. Over a great number of years in my life I have felt suicidal, depressed, hatred, homicidal, and anger. I still do to this day. I have told myself over the years no one out there is like me. I did some search on the forums for threads about suicide and a lot of the threads others replied saying, "It's a cry for pity and attention." Some of the reason I think people replied to the authors thread saying those comments is because the author was still replying to the thread. I must say that people on here that deal with depression and mental disorders like I do have earned my love and sympathy for two reasons. 1:because they are hardcore and strong. 2:they know how to survive their depression even when life is tough and you feel like you can't live a second longer. I find what I just said a positive thought and I'm going to hold onto it for the rest of my life and I don't care who finds it stupid or laughs at it. Those who are reading this that have suffered with severe depression and suicidal thoughts feel free to pm. I've just got into psychology and I'd like to start bettering myself with helping out others that are like me. I don't have anything else to add so peace.

I just would like to add that judgemental assholes wouldn't last one day in my or anyone else who suffers from mental illness. They'd be dead within one hour from the depression.

 

i relate. i had major depression for a long, long, long time. ever since 17. i went through the mill with it, tried therapy, hospitals, anti-depressants everything. depression is real and it should be taken seriously, not least of all by the sufferer. i'm quite over it now, i think. the only thing that worked for me was the sedona method which i've been doing for a year. it isn't 4 everyone but there are ways out there to overcome depression. u have to find what suits u best. good luck dude

jitter b I don't know why the fuck you posted that gun, but it was a very fuckin immature thing to do. What are you fuckin 8 years old.

 

No.

Everyone gets sad. Not everyone has depression. Depression is a medical illness that requires treatment by professionals. Your statement is about the same as saying "Everyone gets hepatitis."

And those of you who say, "Just snap out of it," or "It is just a cry for attention" - once again, imagine saying the same thing about hepatitis. It doesn't make sense. People who say "I was depressed for a while and then I just snapped out of it!" most likely were never truly depressed in the first place.

 

thats a bit fucking patronising. try being so depressed you're hallucinating because you're scared but you don't know what of, you can't work you can't sleep you end up with no home and no way out of the situation. you have no money you don't know who to trust and you end up cowering in hospital because you litarally have nowhere else to go and you're scared you're gonna end up selling yourself for money because otherwise you're gonna starve.

i'm pretty sure thats not what 'depressed' teenagers all go through. try getting an idea of what real depression does to you and then come back to us with your 'advice'.

 

Over half of the members on this forum (or in this entire world for that matter) do not understand mental illness. For their sake, they better hope to never procreate, because their ignorance alone would make their child's life a living hell, if they were diagnosed with a mental disorder.

 

[/QUOTE]your life isn't that bad dude, try living in Iraq.[/QUOTE]
My life has been one of the shittiest I can think of. I'd say it's a bunch of shit to say my life isn't that bad. Yes, people in Iraq have it bad because Bush is just another fascist trying to force democracy on their nation. The only others I can think of a worst life than mine would be a state-raised convict. Here's some info on that shit that I've been with through mental illness. I was in and out of therapy since the moment of my birth. I've been institutionaliazed four times. The longest stint was on a residential home. I've been on many prescription drugs. Too many to list, but here are a few lithium, prozac, respiradal, well butron. And if anyone says i considered suicide, but I'm doing fine. Then they just thought about it in my opinion and they weren't feeling like I can't live a second longer or ways of doing and planning on doing it.
