How does it effect them and those around them? How can you tell when they have it?
Please don't give me really long medical answers, I won't understand. Thank you!

For me, when I start to think or get impatient that everything or everyone around me is moving in slow motion. Then I crave for alcohol. I think people are intolerably stupid. I am very receptive to information input, I'll surf the net a lot.
However, I reach a point where I would lose concentration and even if I wanna read, I couldn't bring myself to do it.
I needed alcohol on top of my sleeping pills and other meds coz before I'm done with one thought, another one would budge in, and another, and another.....then a ridiculous song.....and I'll go back and forth with the thoughts. So damn tiring.
Care to share your experience?

As a 15-yr old guy, I feel very girly in wanting this, but my sexual fantasy is to cuddle with a chubby girl, about this plump: (http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/3024/a006820xgmo3.jpg [worksafe, I'm not mean like that D:]), while listening to some light jazz and talking. Is there some genetic wrongity with me or something? Becuase it's like, every guy I've met is always checking out girls, "rating" them and being all "I'd hit that" and etc. I think this is wrong, but it seems to be the norm for guys these days.

My Friend: I am asking you the most important question of life. Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good you are, nor if you are a church member, but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die?

God says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Ye must be born again.”

In the Bible God gives us the plan of how to be born again which means to be saved. His plan is simple! You can be saved today. How?

First, my friend, you must realize you are a sinner. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. “For the wages [payment] of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). This includes eternal separation from God in Hell.

“ . . . it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

But God loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place. “ . . . He hath made Him [Jesus, Who knew no sin] to be sin for us . . . that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).

Jesus had to shed His blood and die. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood” (Lev. 17:11). “ . . . without shedding of blood is no remission [pardon]” (Hebrews 9:22).

“ . . . God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our place. He became our substitute. It is true. God cannot lie.

My friend, “God . . . commandeth all men everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:30). This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross.

In Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: “ . . . ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ And they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved . . . .’ ”

Simply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected. His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as Savior.

“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12).

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).

Whosoever includes you. Shall be saved means not maybe, nor can, but shall be saved.

Surely, you realize you are a sinner. Right now, wherever you are, repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer.

HERE IS HOW YOU CALL UPON THE LORD

If you are willing to admit your sinfulness and would like for God to save your soul, just ask Him...

Dear Jesus,
I admit that I am a sinner. Please forgive me of my sins and take me to heaven when I die. I now believe upon You as my personal Saviour and as the Lord of my life. Thank you for forgiving me. Amen.

Just take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no lodge, no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving. All of it!

God’s simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus Who died in your place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith.

You say, “Surely, it cannot be that simple.” Yes, that simple! It is scriptural. It is God’s plan. My friend, believe on Jesus and receive Him as Savior today.

If His plan is not perfectly clear, read this tract over and over, without laying it down, until you understand it. Your soul is worth more than all the world.

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:36).

Be sure you are saved. If you lose your soul, you miss Heaven and lose all. Please! Let God save you this very moment.

God’s power will save you, keep you saved, and enable you to live a victorious Christian life. “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it” (1 Corinthians 10:13).

Do not trust your feelings. They change. Stand on God’s promises. They never change. After you are saved, there are three things to practice daily for spiritual growth:

Pray -- you talk to God.
Read your Bible -- God talks to you.
Witness -- you talk for God.
You should be baptized in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ as a public testimony of your salvation, and then unite with a Bible-believing church without delay. “Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord . . . .” (2 Timothy 1:8)

“Whosoever therefore shall confess [testify of] Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 10:32).

What was your major depression like and did you find meds that got you to a place better than just merely chronically depressed?

I'm now taking effexor which got me out of the horrible dissociation I get with major depression, but I still have no motivation and nothing seems to get me jazzed or feeling genuinely happy. The pdoc wants to add Wellbutrin on top, but mixing meds sounds like it might cause more problems. Is there hope?

Sometimes when I get crappy news, am devastated about something, etc. I literally can't function for a day or two. I waste a day or two just sleeping, reading, lying and staring at the ceiling, or answering people's questions here all day (LOL). Sometimes I have to take a day off work. But it almost always passes after 48 hours, and although I've wasted a couple of days of life, it seems better to me than spending time/money going to a doctor/therapist, getting drunk or doing drugs, etc.

I've been wondering how other people deal with things...I mean when you can't sleep and you feel like crap what do you do? What do you do to stop yourself from thinking about something when it seems like you can't stop thinking of it? How do you deal with depression if you have it? Do you run from your problems or do you confront them? How do you handle leaving people you know and meeting new ones all the time? Do any of these bother you so much you feel crazy?

It has been 10 years since i was raped. I'vnt told this to anyone, except to my ex husband. I told him about it before we got married but even then he blamed me for it afterwards. Same reason he divorced me though he knew before. Now I blame myself even more. I want to go for counselling but am too scared that my family would find out. I belong to an asian family. I blame myself for telling my husband. He said that if i get married again i should keep it a seccret. The reason i'm saying all this here is coz it is totally annonymous here. Will i ever get over the guilt? is there any way i can get over it with out counselling ?without any one knowing about it? I also have a child so dont want him to know about this incident.

At first I didn't think twice at the idea of this cocky sucessful football player even considering suicide. But after thinking about it, he could easily have had a depressive episode and tried to kill himself. His behavior is manic like, he is very aggressive and diffucult to deal with which is a classic sign of someone with bipolar disorder. I thought about it for a while, and it seems as though it is possible that he has bipolar disorder. However, I'm no psychiatrist, but that is the only thing that would explain his possible suicide attempt, if that is what happened.

Not a self-help book or a book that just lectures about it. I am looking for one that has been written by someone who has suffered from major depression and tells of their experience. I have read Sheila Walsh's "Honestly", and have ordered Brooke Shields' "Down Came the Rain" although it is about post-partum depression. But can't find any other good books. Any suggestions?

And worse they dont even realize how they hurt me, don't care or make any apologies and blames all their mistreatment of me on me. And it was over quite a long period of time and now I'm free how do I stop myself from being so intensely angry. I just want to get over it but it's hard. All I went is for them to feel sorry but that will never happen.
