well guys i am doing a research paper on depression and i kno almost all the info but can i get some points of view from some others who suffer from depression? like when was you lowest low, and like what you do to get out of it when your really deep into it.
as for me-
my lowest low is when i had tried to hang my self in April 2007. my little brother had walked in and he started punching and kicking me screaming at me "why woulld you want to leave me???" and " Derrick no matter what i am always going to love you" and for a kid whos 8 years old now he is the reason as to why i am still here today. he keeps me going, and striving to do well. he now suffers from mild depressiion and when he gets down i do a little something extra with him. weather it be watch a movie, play basketball with him or whatever.
*guys lets try to keep this serious and thankas in advance*

Expect some people to post some childish comments.
I used to suffer from depression, happy one moment, depressed the next.
I had no idea why.
Then i took up weightliffting and i've felt great since.
I always say to myself "It could be worse"
Some people cut themselves
Some over-eat
Some commit suicide
Some drink
Some do drugs.

When I'm depressed I just try to hang out with friends more often. If I'm doing things with friends I'm fine but when I'm loney that's when I will get depressed.

I dont want to go into detail, but yeah, I had a pretty bad case of it in late '07. Basically all of Sept/Oct/Nov were terrible months. The person I seeked help from was crazy themsleves, so I just pulled myslef out of it.

A few months ago due to my parents seperation and the reason for it, I was diagnozed clinically depressed. What I tried to do to cheer myself up was hang with friends, a lot. They really came through for me. Cheering me up all the time. Last month they said I was no longer clinically depressed.

i've been suffering from severe depression and ADHD since i was about 11. i didn't have a great childhood.
i was also recently diagnosed Bi-Polar. which doesn't make matters help. there's been a lot of living on the streets and all that. but i'm terrified of death, so i'd never kill myself. so i guess i'm lucky in that sense.
i've also done about 2 stints in rehab facilities to kick the habit of drinking. still hasn't worked.
basically, like Snake said, it could always, ALWAYS be worse. and just do the best you can.
my lowest low was in grade 12 when i completely dropped out of high school about a month and a half from graduating and locked myself in my room after i took my last paycheck before quitting my job and spending it all on booze. i couldn't even bring myself to get out of bed in the morning.
at least i had a wikid beard.
i'm lucky though, since i have a ton of friends and teachers helping me out all the time. performing helps a lot (i do a lot of improv comedy and plays with a few movies under my belt).
the only person who can help you out ultimately though, is yourself.

Well, I used to get depressed sometimes over silly things but have come to realize it's not worth being depressed. For the past 3 weeks I have been feeling fine about everything, But compared to a month or so ago I felt depressed. It would be one hour I'm happy but the other sad and feeling like crap. It's not worth becoming depressed because in my view you only live once and to be sad sometimes isn't worth it. When I was feeling depressed I'd listen to music and try to call up my friends and talk. I'd get depressed over money, life in general, not having a girlfriend, But I realized just a few weeks ago it's wrong.
I thought about all the good in my life. I have an awesome room with everything I love in it. I'm fortunate enough to be living in a nice place and have everything I want. My dad is very generous to me and buys me a million things. Why be sad? I got alot going for me and worrying/getting worked up over little things is stupid. Very stupid. I can say it's been a month since I felt depressed. I never tried anything stupid because I wanna be here in this world, and be alive.

I have never been depressed, thank god.
Write this line in it: "Suicide is a permanent solution to a problem". Don't ever try and kill yourself, you're gonna die sometime so make the most out of it.

As much as I WANT to agree with Kliquid, I can't.
I am not clinically depressed, no. But I am never a happy-go-lucky person. Heartache is what gets me the most to be honest.

Believe me, I've had times in my life where I literally felt like I had NOTHING to live for. I'm extremely lucky to have the group of friends that I do, though, because they are all outrageously fun to be around and they can get me out of feeling bad about just about anything. |

I'm depressed, and zoloft doesn't do jack **** either. But I guess it doesnt help that I'm bipolar as well.
Not just good, it's great depression

Depression is caused by alot of common day things Money Family School Bullying Job Addicted To Drugs/Drink Etc. Love problems. As i said i used to get depressed alot after my girlfreind dumped me. I locked myself in my room and just drank and smoke. Then i put the bottle and fags down and went outside. I went for a run. Did some weights Hang out with my mates. And i felt GREAT. When your depressed drinking and drugs will ONLY making it worse. Feel free to talk to me about any of your problems  |

I was depressed in 2005-a bit of 2006.. I was kinda different.. I was never suicidal.. I always felt like I had nothing to live for and no reason to be alive.. I wanted to be dead, but I didn't want to die... It's weird and I have no clue how to explain it.. I'd just look up and curse God "What... What did I do?? I have done nothing to deserve to get this"
My release was music.. It helped me get away from it all.. I listened to heavy metal and hardcore punk rock then.. Now?? I have no clue why I ever liked any of that music, but it got me through it..
Now?? I think I'm mostly through it.. It sometimes sorta comes back and hits me, for no real reason.. But when it hits, it hits.. Maybe because I build it up and keep it in, until that one moment the damn breaks..
I still get through it with music.. Now, like I said, I don't get through it with screaming and nonsense.. Now I get it through Christian rock, and through God..
I tend not to talk to anyone when I get down.. It tends to make it worse, cause I talk about nothing but it, and reasons why i think, and most people deny all of it.. Which gets me even more down... What do they know?? How do they know whats going on?? They don't, and mostly never realize what I'm going through..
Just wake me when it's over, please

I suffer from depression, agrophobia and nausea alot since I missed alot of school after being really sick, I've tried meds for sickness and I had therapy for agrophobia and depression, meds didnt help sickness and therapy helps agrophobia but depression is something I deal with on my own, sometimes just a complete change of pace can help, if I'm not up to going out and I've been watching TV too much I go play a strategy game that i haven't played in ages which keeps me occupied, when it's really bad though I sometimes get hit by agrophobia and depression at once which then brings on nausea, I end up pacing for ages and sometimes have to do things like stick my barefoot on ice to give myself pain and distract myself, I then go and meditate in the most quiet and relaxing room. I dunno if it's the agrophobia or depression but I often find colours like white or light blue calming and pleasing but intense colours like bright yellow or red really dont help.

I've dealt with some bouts of depression in my life, most of them came after my dad died. I was 13 and I had no clue how to deal with something like that. Without him in my life things went downhill, my weight went up to around 320 pounds, which lead to me having no confidence and not doing certain things that are somewhat essential to growing up.
Luckily for me I had some friends that made me get off my couch and get into the gym, and with that came weight loss, which resulted in me gaining confidence. I'm not in the greatest shape, and I still feel rather inadequate at times, but I went from being depressed all the time and attempting to commit suicide twice to being pretty happy.
I think the corner stone of getting over depression has to be having friends that truly care about you, that and the desire to change your life for the better.
