It's been almost a year. I've been really depressed, but I kinda hide my feelings from everyone. I tell myself everyday that I'll go to the doctors and have a chat with them, but I'm some what scared and don't really know how to say it without bursting into tears. I don't really know why I'm depressed. I guess I think life sucks?? My dreams went down the drain! I was supposed to leave for boot camp for the Coast Guard late July. Soon before that I found out I was disqualified for my heart. So I had my heart checked out by a doctor around me and they said nothing was wrong! The Coast Guard still refuses me. I suppose that plays apart in it. Advice anyone, everything helps! Thanks!

Dont be afraid of going to the doctors, thats the best place to be able to talk with someone. You may be able to save your life by doing this. Whatever you do, do not take any antidepresant drugs, this alters your brain, into thinking your not worth living , then you'll try to harm yourself. Therea other jobs out there besides the coast gaurd. If they found something wrong with your heart, take heed in that. You can always be a police officer, or a security officer, or even a jailer, in the police department. Things will get better

Life can really suck it's true. Maybe there's something other than the coast guard you'd like to do. Try to do some light exercises , even walking, it can help to make you feel better. I'm sure it's really dissappointing about not being able to leave for boot camp and stuff. It can be so hard when our dreams don't come to pass how we envision them, just remember it doesn't mean life doesn't have some great things in store for you around the corner. Hang in there.

Antidepressant drugs are not bad...in fact, Zoloft (an antidepressant), is the 7th most prescribed drug in this country. If you are depressed for a reason that you cannot pinpoint, it's always better to seek professional help. What's there to lose? Your life is waiting...you'll be better afterwards. Hang in there!
