depression is serious, and i've had it before. but its all thanks to my friends that motivated me to get myself out of the pit. TRY to, even if you don't want to, to stay around your friends, and when they're worried and they ask you to talk about it, try not to refuse it, because even though right now, you might not like it, it'll help you. talk to someone who understands you the most, and try to hang around your cheery friends-that's what i did, they were so cheery and they were trying so hard to make me laugh, it was hard not to. contact with people you trust and love is the best way to help with your depression, you feel like you want to be left alone, but that's not what's good for you. like people love french fries, but its not always good for you. same thing. you don't want to talk, but talking and having someone listen is the best cure. BUT don't forget, only YOU can get yourself out of depression, your friends are there to help, but if you don't want to get out, nobody can make you. always think happy things. communicate. hopefully things will work out like it did for me. and trust me, i wasn't a mopey girl 24-7, i just felt like that at times, just like you. its better to stop depression when its still light. good luck =) smile<3

You sound like you already know what's wrong, you just don't like the solution. Let's think about this for a minute, though. Could being on medication really be any worse than the way you're feeling now?? There are different kinds of depression. Some kinds of depression have cycles where you'll feel fine, or even great, for a while, and then get depressed again. It doesn't mean you're crazy. It's because your brain cells re-absorb the chemical called serotonin too quickly. It's a medical problem. The medication they'll give you will prevent your brain cells from absorbing the serotonin so quickly. I know being on meds sucks. Being sick with any disease sucks. But it's better than feeling like crap half the time. Check out the website for the National Insitute of Mental Health. They have quizzes you can take to figure out which kind of depression you think you might have. And then go see the doctor.

You are wasting your life. You need to be creating value with it. Working on something will make you feel better.
