I have been depressed for about 4 years now, but it was minor depression until about two months ago. I took medication for a month, and when I was done with it, started taking St. John's Wort. I've tried telephonic counseling, breathing techniques, getting more sun and exercise, writing in my journal, etc, but I'm still having these thoughts, telling me that there is no point in living, that no matter what I do, I'll always be unhappy, and that anything that happens in the future will be bad, even if most think its for the best. Can anyone suggest more things that I could do to help myself feel better? Thanks.

I'm not doing as well in school as I used to.
I'm very much single and hating it.
I feel like I'm stuck where I am with regards to school and job...because I have no security to leave.
I feel like a ***** every second of every day and I can't stop.
People find that it's better to "take me in small doses."
I need help to be better.
Any suggestions?

I have a SIL that is constantly wanting to move. In the last year she has suddenly announced she wants to move several times and started making plans! She has actually moved briefly 200 miles away from her family (she is married and has 2 college age children at home) and got a job. Mediocre jobs, mind you as she is not educated and her husband is the bread winner with a decent job. She is also a job hopper and quits within weeks. This is taking a toll on her family and causing stress on them but she won't get help. Usually, they just let her go on her way and she eventually comes home disallusioned. That is until the other day she convinced the family to move south.
Does this sound like depression or something else" I think she is chasing happiness that she will never find.
There is no good reason for these moves, either. No job, etc. Just running away?
How can the family help her?
Thanks!

This is about the 10th try this year. My biggest trigger is thinking about my ex, who dumped me 11 months ago and then the fact I'm in debt and struggling to find myself career wise and other.
I hoping the no smoking will be empowering but realize this might be a long term benefit.
I'm grateful for any help you can offer, thanks

For the last couple years, Ive been having recurring flashbacks of just memories that I have. They're not neccisarily bad things either, but they're very vivid, and give me a feeling of loss when they stop. For instance I can be watching a movie and something will trigger me to have a flashback of something that might've happened a couple years ago. I can actually see and relive that moment, and when I'm done, I feel a great deal of loss, as if I can never experience that moment again. Come Christmas things trigger me and I see my childhood of me laughing, and memories with my siblings. They differ from memories considering Im not forcibly retaining things. It's just as if something stops me conciously and a video of the past plays quickly in my forehead. Occasionally my breathing pattern will even change shortly afterwards and I'll hyperventilate for a few seconds. Can anyone tell me if theyve experienced this? What it is? Please help...

A family member of mine has been an addict for a couple of years now. He has done the rehab thing a few times but never for long..the first time being only over a month (I think insurance couldn't cover any more) and the second and third times were only a couple of weeks each. He has no money (what addict does...) so he can't afford to pay for another rehab and I don't have any to help him either.

He says he wants to quit but that whenever he tries he can't sleep the entire time to the point where it drives him crazy. How can I convince him that not sleeping is better than what he is doing right now and that he needs to stop? I live in constant fear that I am going to get a phone call that he is dead. What can I do to try and stop this..the rest of my family has given up and gone back to living their lives and pretending it doesn't exist but I am not going to sit around and wait for him to die.

I recently f
found out that my best friend has been cutting herself for the past 6 months. I know the basics of what not to do and what to do-obviously, let her know that I'm there for her, that I'm not mad, ect. But should I tell her things like, say the best way to stop bleeding? Things to do instead of cutting? Reasons to stop? As I myself am coping with bulimia/anorexia and cutting, I feel like I'm being hypocritical. Please, anything would be helpful, websites, phone #'s, ect. Also, is there anyway she can get reduced cost therapy? She really does want to get help, but her family cant afford 100$ a pop sessions.

I know my husband loves me and my children do as well. My children are everything to me, and they always want to be with me. Could it just be the start of the winter blues for me? Does anyone else get these feelings? Am I going totally nuts? Did I just read to many other question on here and make myself depressed?

i usaully act quiet, Sometimes i can just laugh outta nowhere for no reason and do it for 5 mins, other times i dont find anything funny, just annoying and stupid. I have crazy ideas at times from no where, and people find this random and funny from me cause they dont see me acting like that.

My sister died about 9 yrs ago. before she passed, she talked of having children (having a little boy first), buying a house and getting married. She achieved 1 of those goals. Getting married. She was married for 6 months before dying due to an epileptic seizure and passing while in her sleep. I have done all that she wanted to do, including contributing to charities in hopes of one day, being able to find the exact cause and treating the disease. I would like to know what you think would be an honorable way to keep someone's memory alive.
