How to defeat depression

Feeling a lot better these days... 15 months ago

I think it’s seasonal depression, because I’m feeling pretty good now. I’ve been eating lighter and exercising more and forcing myself to drink teas and water. Also doing COLONIX which, I am liking. On the Colonix site in the testimonials section, there is a man who explained how this product got rid of his depression. Interesting. Maybe many of us just have stagnant poop depression.



I had a very hard night last night. 17 months ago

I had been doing good lately with not having the suicidal thoughts. But last night it hit me again. I was just sitting at my laptop loading music on to my iPod, I listened to Tyra B’s song “Givin’ me a rush” (which I am addicted to the sound of). I was feeling good, singing and just chillin out, then I got in bed and tears started running down my face. It shocked me because most times I have the bad thoughts then the tears and last comes the suicidal feelings. But last night i didn’t have the bad thoughts, it just went from happy to tears to wanting to die. I don’t know why exactly, I mean yeah I have been going through a hard time lately and it has been a drain mentally for me, but this came on with no warning at all. It scares me. Plus I know I am never going to kill myself because I’m such a wuss but still, this was just too weird. I kept picturing me hanging myself. I called my doctor already. Because this was wayy to weird.



Not making any progress on this. 17 months ago

I’m sitting at my desk in tears right now.
What reason? Well I don’t honestly know, but I feel like a failure.



It's really time for a change 17 months ago

I think I’ve been depressed and angry since I was a toddler. I have seen counselors here and there but never for more than a few sessions, and have tried a few anti-depressants, but also not for much longer than a few weeks at a time. Always seemed to have a bad reaction. Lexapro just made me want to give up on life altogether! I have felt like I’ve been living in a haze for as long as I can remember, the earliest memory being in 2nd grade. Currently not seeing any doctor but wondering if I should really give it an honest shot. I can barely make it out of bed, I can’t keep my room clean, I never go out anymore, and I feel like there are few people I can turn to. I get little enjoyment out of life. My phone barely if ever, rings. I’m out of touch. I also feel depressed that I can’t seem to find a boyfriend or date, when I used to be able to so easily. I don’t even feel I look that bad, I started working out in October and I feel I look better than I used to. I must just exude the “I’m depressed, don’t bother” vibe. I’m sick of living like this. All I see is negativity, and I’ve been trying to apply the principles of the Law of Attraction, trying to think more positively, and it’s a struggle to do when you’re feeling so down, I end up more frustrated. And I’m a whiner, can you tell?



depressed 20 months ago

ummmmm… i don’t know how to start this… all i know is that i’m depressed… i’m taking medication and seems i need more at this point..constantly getting panic attacks to the point that when i am not getting ‘em attacks, i feel very thankful…even little things ruin my day…, i get mad and am mad at my girl for small things all the time, lucky she’s good to me and i know it’s my fault but it happens over and over… everyone tells me how good my life is…, but i don’t see it and i don’t think i ever will… they don’t understand that it’s not my problems that’s causing my depression.. it is because of my depression that i see n feel everything negatively. I need help.



Lots of relaxation exercises and self-brainwash 22 months ago

It took lots of relaxation exercises and self-brainwash to get that done, but boy, was it worth it.



And here it comes... 2 years ago

Its slipping back in. The random crying. The extreme “lonely” feeling. The dramatic mood swings. It’s funny how I isolate myself, and then I feel like I’m lonely. My “friend” wants me to come over. He’s a guy. And he wants me to come over. Put 2 and 2 together…I’m not in the mood for it. I feel everyone just wants something from me and I feel like just disappearing and not coming back.



Ughhh.... 2 years ago

When I get depressed I do really very stupid things. My relationships get messed up and I suddenly think that the world just hates me or something. I know that a “happy pill” would make me feel better because I used to take prozac, but I’m not really into taking medication. I prefer to take better care of myself so that I don’t get stuck with high dosages of twelve different medicines for 6 different things. I dunno, it’s just a bad day. I’ll just hope it passes sooner than later.
