I personaly like Marijuana, it is more good for me than anything else, but i have a friend who just gets angsty on pot. He stopped doing it (which was a good idea) because he just got tired and sat in his room all day. I on the other hand get really social when i am stoned. It makes me want to get out and make friends, and that is good for me because i generally hate everyone. I don't get depressed often, but when i do i just force myself to be with friends and to go to populated places, or i shut myself off and spend alot of time alone either way gets me out of the rut, so i guess i would just suggest a change in the monontony. Try something different, it doesn't matter what it is just do it. |

Heh, I was taking a sip of orange juice as I read your post Doopa. Counting that and eating oatmeal during one of pope hentai's posts I'm starting a food/post coincidence trend. |

Listen. I used to think folk who needed such stuiff were weak until I needed them A long time ago now, I lost a b/f, my job and a baby within the same month. So of course I was depressed. But if I was so damn miserable I couldn't even open the curtains and leave my house, how on earth was I to get another job before I lost my home too? So I took anti-depressants from the doctor for a couple of months until I got a job and had something to be positive about. Coming off them was rough for a few days but worth it. Now I have a job I love and a lovely boyfriend. So hooray for anti-depressants! And those lovely pills made me laugh my socks off within hours. |

I don't reallly care how I die or when so long as I'm thrown in the woods behind a crematorium and left there to rot with lots of other corpses. I've stipulated this in my will. Say, know what's great for depression? People you love and depend on dieing senseless, painful deaths. I am so serious, THAT really can get you depressed FAST! |

| AChimp | See a psychologist and get counselling rather than go on drugs right away. It might be that your depression is purely mental (like mine was) rather than biological. | ||

Thanks. I think I'm going to do what I can to hold off on any medication since I really have no interest in becoming a zombie. The one time I tried pot I was so paranoid that I could hardly enjoy myself, but I'll probably try it again sometime since the friends I'm starting to make are into it. I excercise religously. Sunshine depresses the hell out of me (I don't know why). I eat very healthy. So far I've been told that all I have is a conditional depression, so medication would probably just impede on me trying to fix the actual problem. I feel better today because I'm making friends. |

CB- I haven't had personal experience, but my long time girlfriend went through several different kinds od anti-depressant drugs, and I'd say most have probably harmed her more than helping her in the long run. She was on this shit Depicote (sp?), which is apparently really rough stuff. The answer for most doctors these days seems to be rather reactionary, like, drug them up, sedate them, that'll fix them. She isn't sick like she used to be, but her memory is shit now, post-drugs. I'd say do research on any pills they wanna shove down your throat.... |

Bathtub crystal Meth and killing are better than any anti depressant any day of the week. Don't let anyone tell you any different. Oh! And whores. Don't forget the whores. So if you quit your paper route, get it back. The don't call them whores because they work for for free. |

Since I don't smoke pot I can't go with anymore than hearsay, but doesn't pot just enhance your mood? As in, when you're genuinely down, it just makes you more depressed? Plus, if you're using it as a deterrent for depression you probably run a serious risk of mental addiction. |

| Blue | I got really depressed coming down off treatment for ADHD and the drugs they gave me just made me very dull. So i stopped taking them and locked myself in my room pretty much and wrote heaps of songs and poetry (sounds gay but works) and listened to sickening amounts of music, I was fine in a few months.. RPG's are a good cure aswell. Keeps the mind preoccupied. | ||

I too would stand by the hash option. Several years ago i was on seroxat- a serotonin based drug. For me it cted as a dampener leaving me in a kind of cotton wool bubble. Yes it meant had lost the rage and self harmful tendencies but it also meant i lost my creativity and sense of selves. The side effects were no orgasms and the inability to yawn which is very frustrating. As for the suggestion that religion can help thats just bullshit. Yes, people may find support in the other people at a church but you can get that from your friends (assuming you have any). Hash will help increase you appetite for and enjoyment of food- often depressives will stop eating. It calms violent tendencies and is great if you are an artisitc person. drawing and writing are great theraputic tools when you are down. A small joint in the evening will bring out your creative side. it will also make sex wonderful and sensual, rather than the deadening effect that serotonin based drugs can have. If your condition is bi-polar it can take the edge of the painfully manic highs and alleviate the crash of the lows. I am not suggesting that you become a 'pothead' just sitting around all day with mates and giggling at the wall, but the relaxing qualities of a small ammount of hash to help you review your situation. on the downside, the paranoia factor is worth considering. if you are really low and unused to smoking then you could become withdrawn from the world. whatever you decide to do, keep a close watch on yourself and monitor any side effects. Dont let doctors assume they know what is best for you. Any drug you take will alter the way your brain functions and everyones brain is different. chojin's claim that DDR helped may seem silly to some people but any form of physical excercise is going to be a great thing. |

| Dole | What is it about this place and depressives?? Or is it just the majority of American youth are depressed? I am not being facetious, I am genuinely curious... | ||

| Perndog | Religion helps some people - find something you can really lean on to help build yourself up, or change something in your spiritual life significantly, and you might come out the better for it. The two times in my life I went through big religous changes brought me out of the two worst emotional ruts I'd been stuck in. | ||

I used to have bad depression, to the point where i couldn't even get myself to type. Meds just zombified me, but getting out and playing DDR is what really helped. Stacker 2 also works better for me than any prescription medication. |
