Depression sufferers?
I have recently suffered depresion due to my mother and father dying within 9 months of each other. This coupled with illness and work problems due to that illness have all added to it. The main reason it hit me was the fact i lived with my parents and have had to do most of the dealings aswell as cope with the loss.
As it is now i have recently stopped the anti depresants and thing seem a little easier and rosier.
I dont know what your circumstances are but with the right help and support from the medics and family it will be easier.
As for the SH link well i suppose the lifestyle can be stressful at times with so many personalities ect. but i suspect its no ore or less stressfull to anywhere/thing else we do in life

I remember posting a little while back that a huge percentage of SH'ers seemed to be affected by depression Shani. Hopefully it's A) Just a co-incidence that it seems to hit lots of people in close proximity to me :shock: and B) That your problems are short lived :therethere:
Not depressed here!

I had an experience of this a while ago. Counselling worked really well, I'd recommend it.

I have coped with depression in the past and it's certainly no picnic. What worked for me was the stiff talking I gave to myself and maybe one or two anti D's
I'm sorry that you had to cope with all that at once Goosey and I hope life is being kinder to you at the moment.

It used to said that 1 in 4 were PRONE to Depression, not actually suffered. Trouble is now, that life is more and more stressful, so 1 in 4 actual sufferers is probably not far out :!:
If it is any help, you are not alone.

At the risk of destroying my already slim chances of meeting another lovely woman on here I will share my knowledge and experience. I make this decision because i know how much stigma can be attached to any mental illness.
The most common cause of death for men under fourty ish is motor accidents. Suicide is second. I wonder how many of those accidents arent really accidents.
Mental health care is woefully underfunded. Ive spent time in my local NHS menatl helath ward. Frankly id rather stick my dick in a blender.
If anybody wants to share their hurt may i suggest:
A lovely bunch of people who talk about their experiences quite openly.
Bi polar or manic depression is all about mood swings. I stumbled on thsi site when i dodo a search on regular swinging.
And dont forget teh samaritans could save your life so phone them. If u cant face taht message me coz I will always offer u an ear.

That's an excellent link Ben :thumbup:
My best mate suffers with Bipolar and they sent me some excellent leaflets and info. It's now one of the charities I support each month.
As for me, I've suffered from menopausal depression for almost a year and I've been helped with medication and the support of my wonderful GP.
Shani, there have been a few really great threads about depression which would be worth a search for.
Many thanks to you
I have suffered bouts of depression following post traumatic stress disorder as a youngster. So I should be used to it. This is a very bad bout worst in 15 or so years or so. My meds have been changed 2 months ago cos old ones stopped working these arn't doing anything but make me eat and sleep grrrrr. Seeing Shrink again tomorrow, but I am very cynical and suspicious of Mental Health teams sadly as they have in the past done more harm than good for me personally. That isn't a slur on people who work within that area as I can imagine it is a nightmare. But having being experimented on before am naturally wary. Anyway thanks all.

depression is one of the things lots suffer with and mostly in silence, they paint on the smile in the morning, getup get ready for work pshcy them selves up for the day ahead... the effort it takes to keep it hidden and not let anyone know your suffering in silence is sometimes the hardest part of it all.......
When i was suffereing it took every ounce of energy to get me out the door...so when i got home i would almost loose allmy bones an crumble in a heap on the floor.. and stay there till i had to do it all again the next..........
The lesson i learnt ... is that its better out than in.. suffering in silence is worse by far than suffering in public.... your not alone, there are people out there that are feeling the same as you, its not your fault... you didnt cause it... and that its going to be ok...... and it will be ok.... takes time courage, support and and inner understanding of what triggers a deprression you have to look within yourself to know yourself... to learn tools to notice the start of the drop down, and figure out how to pick yourself back up.....it will be ok....

I think the word depression is used far to easy and sometimes people are just feeling a bit low, i remember a while back my hubby going to the doc about a totally unrelated issue to depression and the doc gave him prozac :shock: he wasnt drepressed and he didnt take the pills but docs just had them out far to easy now days

Drugs can very well help, because they can allow someone's mood to lift, but do not in themselves cure the causes. What they do is allow someone to function normally enough to be able to go out and change their lifestyle or get the appropriate personal help to find out whatever is causing the depression, whether by, for example, counselling or other advice or therapy, or finding a new interest of some sort.

Yep!
Please can we accept that some folk have lives destroyed by mental illness ( depression is the most common mental illness). Belittling it really doesnt help. Pick yourself up and pull yourself together doesnt help either.
What makes me cross is if i dont turn up for work for 6 months cos Ive got a broken leg thats fine. If its cos Im a bit sad nobody gives a flying fart.
Its a real illness it kills thousands of people and makes life a misery for many thopusnads of others.
Its about time the people woke up and smelt the roses.

I began suffering depression after months in hospital a three day planned stay gone awry. I was tranquilised to stupidity and back. In the end I was let 'out' of hospital for my mental health (and I think the NHS staffs). Depression left immediately. I was lucky, but I did grab a look at the dark side for a while :smile: its a little self absorbed and a lot frightening.
As for counseling. Fantastic! really really advocate it to anyone thinking they maybe run down or not mentally coping. Of course sometimes it may not seem great, and a waste of time with a particular counselor, but remember there are lots of counselors out there it make a bit to find one you can work well with. When you do however it can afford great relief.
Oh and a big up for the families coping with members of their families suffering mental ill health. Totally underestimated and undervalued in a lot of cases.
Wishing you well Shani :thumbup:

Living with someone who is clinically depressed is traumatic. Losing someone who thought they had nothing to live for and were better off dead, there aren't the words in the English language that can discibe that.
All I can say is if you do feel depressed, please seek help, don't be affraid to ask.

Yep!
Yep again!
and we all feel like that from time to time.
There's a massive difference between feeling a bit low and having full blown manic depression (now bipolar I believe?). I've witnessed full on depression with someone in my family, it's not nice, it can ruin people's lives.
I think also sometimes people can mistake depression for anxiety.

Quote by naughtynymphos1i i totaly agree i think pepole take pills because the doctor said so if your husband had started taking prozac he might have ended up depresed.
