How can someone take steps to deal with depression, without taking prescription drugs?

I'm currently working 2 jobs, and I like both. Whenever someone says something about leaving my part-time job, I either mutter something about leaving it "eventually" or say how much I love working that job. I'm paranoid that as soon as I leave one job I'll be fired from the other job & be SOL. I actually was fired once & ended up not having a job for a few months, since it was so hard finding a decent job that paid enough for my bills. I think that only fueled my work obsession. My two sisters have had terrible times keeping jobs, so my family has kept emphasising my work ethics. Now they're starting to say that I work too much.

I'm working my entire life away. If I'm not careful I'll work away the time that I could be spending on education, friends, & relationships.

Taking a huge vacation isn't really an option for me, since that's too huge of step right now. I have taken a step & asked to work fewer hours at my other job, but I'm afraid of allowing myself to overwork myself.

I don't know what the hell's going on with me. Most of my day I am seriously depressed, depressed enough to where I want to hurt myself and I know that's not normal. So is it just depression or do you think I have a hormonal imbalance...or both? Because I've been this way ever since I turned a teenager, and I'm 20 now. What do you think?

I feel very irritable, angry & depressed right now, & I feel like I'm going to lose my temper. I'm trying very hard to not allow myself to become weak enough to get mentally hospitalized. I've been having a headache & nausea & feeling tense & full of anxiety all day with my stomach feeling like it's twisted in knots, & I can't even eat. I'm about to cry.

I usually feel stupid calling the crisis hotline because my family shuns me for it & teases me about it, saying that all I'm doing is telling STRANGERS my personal business. Personally, I find the crisis hotline very helpful. If I talk out my problems, it helps me calm down & feel better. I don't really have any friends to turn to but 1 friend. I'm really struggling with a lot if issues, & the other so-called friends think I'm just a drama queen who complains too much & wants sympathy & attention, when that's not so.

Is there anything wrong with calling the crisis hotline or is it OK?

Let me start out by saying that I've been feeling weird all day. It's hot and I didn't sleep well last night and that always makes me feel weird...
But earlier tonight I had the sudden urge to just cry. I didn't, but all I wanted to do was cry. Don't know why, nothing sad, but whatever. Then all of a sudden I got really tired and really nervous and scared and a little shortness of breath. And now I'm really scared to go to sleep because I'm afraid I won't wake up.
What can I do? Is this a panic attack? How can I calm down so I can sleep? Please, please help me.

Two part question: I read up on hypochondriasis and it fit me really well. I lean towards mental illnesses rather than physical illness though. I think I am a genuine hypochondriac. But how do I know if I'm not just "thinking" I have this disorder when I don't? That's really confusing.

2nd question:
In Florida, to go to a hospital or clinic or more public places like that do they take young adults and check you out and then get payment or can you just get care without paying or how does that work? I want to look into a few things that could be wrong but don't want parents to take me nor would they accept something might be wrong and I just can't tell them what's up until I see if I'm just being paranoid. So, is there any way I can get help for free?

For instance, what is if someone is fine but then lose it like start to uncontrollably cry and feel like they can't physically go on. If they just didn't have any energy to function throughout the day? Is there a medical term for these symptoms? And what are some ways of relief from this or do they need to just rest?

It was really hot today when I was walking to my bus stop (about 27 degrees celcius.)

This girl walking on the other side of the street was wearing a big winter jacket, snowpants, gloves, a wooly hat, moccasins with fur trim, and a scarf.

Why was she doing this? I found it very odd... is this associated with a disorder of any kind? Maybe they get cold easily? She smelled extremly gross when we got to the bus stop, i could smell her body odor and it wasn't very plesant...any ideas?

First off I did go to the doc and they put me on zoloft. But I'm wondering if this is normal for panic attacks.

I have EXTREME fear in the morning that wakes me up but yet I fully realize that I'm not dying. It's just impossible for me to relax. Then during the day I will at least once just start getting real scared and things just don't matter. No matter what I love it just doesn't matter for that period of time. I can't stand anything during that period.

After talking with a friend or relaxing I'm back to normal for the most part. But the EXTREME fear during the panic attack is what bothers me so much. I'm not suicidal by any means but during the anxiety period I would cut my own leg off if it released the pain from my brain.

Thanks.

On Monday, I'm starting a Grad Prep program for graduate students with a not high enough GPA to get into grad school. Here's my problem. I'm mentally disabled & get distracted very easily. Also, I struggle with concentration & focus. My Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder causes me to have unwanted, intrusive, inappropriate thoughts, & it gets the BEST of me when I'm trying to do my reading assignments for homework. I find myself spending hours & hours reading the 1st sentence over & over again & eventually give up on trying to concentrate on reading because of the repetitive unwanted thoughts. This also makes my mind go blank during exams & I end up flunking. This isn't fair that my grades have to suffer for my psychiatric disabilities, & the meds NEVER seem to help.

I find that it hurts me very deeply when I've JUST taken my antidepressants & be told, "You're crazy & you need to go take your medicine." What, do they expect me to overdose?"

I made a mistake & Im worried what I did could lead to someone who is hurting & lonely & crying right now to self mutilate & commit suicide. I asked questions regarding bipolar boyfriend so it would be searched & counteract the evil unfairness & stigma & pain & hurt & intense loneliness to the point that I wanted to die & never exist again.

I put things up pretending to be some who said bipolar boyfriend's penis' should be cut off, or be sterilized. I dont really think all are like that (some do believe in people who are bipolar not breeding sort of like Eugenics) even if not mutilated. I intensely thought about suicide but was frightened. Many girls & boys have had the courage to do it. I thought of it many ways w less pain No2 but was scared of pain. Some are more courageous or different. You have no right to judge them.

Many of you, probably most, dont know the pain or loneliness & the total loss of hope.

I hope Yahoo will take down my posts & not hurt me. Dont mutilate.

I've recently started sleeping more often and longer, than usualy, owing to an article posted in a FAQ forum.
Since then I've found results that are bothering me.
It seems that there is no standard in terms of a sleeping schedule.

mood swings are unbearable, spending is through the roof (own money, not family $$$) selfish behavior - no drugs or alcohol in 4+ weeks. Experts want to get him back in therapy, blah, blah. I don't want to change him, I just want the man who's a great dad & husband back without fighting. Can it work? Where do I start. I've tried to talk, but it ends up him not listening and the family scratching our heads.
Is there ever any way to get someone to truely understand?

Recently I have found myself thinking very negative thoughts and thinking more about death than I have in my life. I knew this was bad and knew it was depression. My parents don't get along well, maybe not at all actually. Last month a huge fight occured that scarred my heart until now. In brief description on how it was, it was scary, lots of screaming and shouting, and things breaking around the house. I have been agonizing with the pain since then. I don't know what to do, or who to tell, except asking of your help and what to do. I can't ask my parents to take me to see a psychiatrist because they'd ask why and what's wrong with me, and would refuse to talk me. I don't have any friends to turn for help and talk to for letting everything out of my chest. I'm also having thoughts about cutting my wrists to help relieve the pain, but I know it's no good, and it's only a thought that occurs during depression. Any advice on what I can do would be greatly apreciated, thank you!
