I'm depressed

I'm really depressed. I can't take medication for it. Paxil was too activating, Wellbutrin gave me chest pains and panic attacks. What should I do?

 

You should force youself to change your life and get out of your depression. Medications will not solve your problems.

 

try and find a t-ball team to go watch practice or play a game. I always get a kick out of t-ball.

 

Crummy- Not to be rude but that sounds like you are making fun of me. Depression is a serious psychiatric illness that affects many people. Why would you make fun of someone for being depressed? T-Ball is like for 10 year olds.

 

ok? so try being a kid again . go out and have some fun. For all we know you could be one of those people who hangs out at coffee houses and thinks theyre too mature for the rest of the world.

 

Whats depressing you?

 

i didnt say play it, I just thought it might cheer you up to watch. Forgive me for not being a clinical psychologist.

 

interesting how all the boys try 2 come up with solutions and the girl asks why are u depressed. anyway, that's a good q and one u will need to eventually answer if u r to overcome this thing. at the moment tho u may not know exactly why u r depressed which is q normal. i've had serious depression 4 many years and it's only been in the last 2 years, maybe less, that i've started to really get over it. i've tried medications, psychotherapy, all sorts of bizarre treatments, and i've been in hospital b/c of it. so i do know u r suffering kid and it aint nice. what finally helped me was meditation: i practise a special kind of meditation that enables me to release suppressed emotions which lie at the heart of my illness. it's still not plain sailing yet but i'm feeling much better than i was and continue 2 improve. good luck.

 

I think it's stupid to take medication for depression.. as Pavel said you should just change your life and try to be positive..

 

medications are for assholes... it actually takes awhile to get used to suppositories but after a while, it easy

 

Clinical depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain. It's a physical problem not a mental or emotional problem. To tell a clinically depressed person to just cheer up or change their life is like telling a person with diabetis to just produce their own insulin.

 

I feel really bad for clinically depressed people then... cause drugs have so many side effects..

 

Get some therapy. It worked for me.

 

I'm horny...............

 

I was clinicaly depressed. I got out of it without drugs.

 

I Doubt you even really know what's it like to be clinically depressed..

 

Do you mean me?

I was diagnosed by a good amount of shrinks.

 

do you??

I was clinically depressed a few years ago, no eating, sleeping all the time, no talking... and I didn't take any drugs... and I got out of it, when I found love.
I know it sounds stupid, but it's true, dammit!!

 

eat right and excercise and start to love things other than yourself, and pray.

 

Everyone has depression these days oh and they all beat it to without any meds because they are so strong minded and brave.

Congrats.
