there are a lot of ways to aproach depression. my best advice is to let it out.

cutting yourself doesnt work, it just makes you bleed...

punching squirrells does work tho, cus squirrells deserve it.

The best solution I've found is to get a psychotherapist. Granted, it's a double-edged sword. If you get a bad one, not only does life still suck, but the thing that was supposed to be a solution turns out to be another kick in the nuts, but if you get a good one(like mine), it really helps. The other thing is to find someone who loves you and who you trust, and just talk it out. Family member, Boyfriend/Girlfriend, or even close friend, it doesn't matter, as long as you find someone with whom to talk about it.

Also, Kat, I recommend seeing a doctor as soon as possible, because your problem might not be solely psychological.

I hope I have helped. Smile

edit: Also, getting a girlfriend(or boyfriend, depending on your preference) helps too Very Happy

BFs and GFs are NEVER the answer for problems like this, cause you'd be getting into the relationship for all the wrong reasons, and that will not only make your day not happy all over again, but it will also make the other person's day not happy because, ultimately, it will end badly. However, Damion is also right in saying that your problem might not be purly psychological, that it might be physical, and that you should see a doctor about it.

Not what I meant. I was just saying that if you happen to come upon a relationship like that, it tends to brighten you entire outlook on life. It's a really nice feeling.

Ah depression, a long time friend of mine who has finally gone away lol. Well, my opinions are as follows, but its mostly personal experience Im speaking of, what works for me, may not work for everyone.

but one of the best ways I had to deal with depression, is friends. Friends can help so much. Sure they may not always have the right things to say, but who cares, if they will just listen to you, and even hold/hug you when you need it, then you are set Smile

Ive even seen a councellor before, and those honestly can help tons. Note that I said councellor and not psychiatrist. And also, sometimes writing in a journal can help, or you can do like i did and take up new hobbies or obsessions, and just become terribly busy. If you are constantly busy, it doesnt let you think, because for me, thinking was really bad...it only made me feel like i was going deeper into depression. I probably had depression a good...4-5 yrs. its not an easy thing to deal with, so I hope you dont have it, hopefully its just "growing pains" as cheesy as it is to say that, I truely hope it is.

but either way, if anyone ever wants someone to talk to, they are more than welcome to PM me or AIM me. Im always happy to try and help if I am able. ~hugs Kat, Breezi and anyone else feelin down~

I agree with everything sciler has just said and I extend the same offer, as always.
After all, if friends are what you need to feel better, than what better help can there be then offering friendship?

I am depressed right now and here is why.

ten days ago my left knee swelled up and when i went to go have it looked at they took a sample of blood and used a needle the size of a ink tube from a ball point pen to try and take fluid out of my knee. Sad

after going to my aunts for spring break a few days later i go to see another doc who uses the same type of needle to try and get fluid out of my knee and he accually get some. then the blood test come back and it turns out that i have Lime arthrits Sad

which is why my knee went bad. Sad

know I have been taking a few meds for my knee but now to treat the lime stuff i have an I.V. in my arm and have to give my self meds through it for the next two weeks. Sad

So now I am really dawn because of all this crap and it had to happen to me on spring break. Sad

on top of all that I haven't been sleeping well for the past few weeks and with an open heart surgery coming up this summer my general health has been going down hill. Sad

I really feel like crap. is there anything you guys suggest I do to try to cheer myself up??? Sad
