Answer 1

The only way to get out of this depression you feel with all the voices you hear in your head with all the lies you hear is to give it all to Jesus for he is the way, the truth and the life! How do I know? I to dealt with depression and the one thing that really turned my life around was these three things: 1. Knowing that God and Jesus Loved me and I was valued! 2. Knowing I had people on my side at church, in my social life and in my family that cared about me! and 3. I had to get myself out of the atmosphere that I was in! If all you do is stay in the darkness thinking about how it is never going to get better and think why life is not worth living. Than your going to be proving yourself right and it will not get better! I found out that No matter how hard I tried or what means I used--material possessions, money, pleasure, drugs, etc...the emptiness from depression was still there. But, if you build a personal relationship again with other people and most importantly a relationship with God! Then you will see yourself back with a renewed joy! Know what the bible says about depression: We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed! (2 Cor. 4:8-9)God said: Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired and weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall; but those who HOPE in the Lord will RENEW THEIR STRENGTH! (Isa 40:28-31,41:10,Ps.50:15)
I would not be telling you this if I had not experienced what you feel myself! Know down inside you are looking for love and happiness but you will never find it the way you are living right now. However, God loves you, and He wants to come into your life and give you a joy and peace that you could never experience any other way. Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you" John 14:27. God created you, and God loves you. His only Son, Jesus Christ, loved you so much that he gave His life on the cross so you could be saved and break free from in perfectness, sin and this depression to become a child of God. I know you feel like you are caring your own cross on your back right now but, PUT IN DOWN THIS INSTANT! And give Jesus all your worries and burdens. When you accept Jesus Christ into your life, something wonderful and supernatural happens. God Himself comes to dwell within you! You become part of His family, and you can know the joy of His presence every day. Pray right now and I encourage you to invite Jesus into your heart, ask him to bring back your social life and the joy back into your life! I to will be praying for you sister because I was too once where you are now and the only way am still alive is because my faith and trust in Jesus saved me and he showed me the better life I could be living if only I put my faith and trust in Him. I encourage you to read a bible! start with the gospel of John! There you will find a story of a man named John the Baptist the paved the way for another man named Jesus that loves you and will bring you guidance and hope to your life, if you look to him and follow him for your life's answers instead of yourself! I can't stress enough how I know what your going though and you really need a change of atmosphere in your life, get out of the darkness and try to meet new people! A lot of Church's have small groups and support groups! So, I would encourage you to do that because it wasn't till I started putting Jesus first before myself that my life started to get better, I had a whole new image of myself and I started to see how much I was really loved and valued in God's eyes. I leave you with a passage from the bible that started to pull me out of the darkness and into the light: TRUST in the Lord with ALL of your heart and lean NOT on your own understanding; in ALL your ways ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, and he will make all your paths straight. Prov. 3:5-6. I would like to recommend two great books to you for finding purpose in your life: 1. Joel Osteen: You Best Life Now: 2004 and 2. Rick Warren: The Purpose Driven Life: 2002. Now I encourage you to Go ahead right now, this minute, pray to Jesus! ask him to lead your heart so you may trust him that everything will be all right and the next step you take will be right in line with what he wants for you in life, and what life is suppose to be like in serving him! Amen

Answer 2

I get depressed also. The only thing that gets me out of that mood is a really funny movie. Watch it by myself, and if you can get a real belly laugh every now and then it's worth it. Try " The diary of a mad black women" You will laugh, trust me.
Ya know, I'm 47 and have been depressed most of my life. I wish I would have gotten some help, and maybe even told my family, but I didn't want to burden anyone, but you know what, Life passes you by so quickly, before you know it you're life is half over. Please do something about it now, tell someone, tell everyone. Get the support you need. And get on with life.
And you are not a cry baby. Don't let anyone tell you that either. Stay away from people that are negitive. You can do it. Be smart, be bold, get help, there's nothing wrong with it, I know that now. I wish someone would have guided me in the right direction, but when no one knows, they can't help right!!! Good luck to you.

Answer 3

I've been going through depression too. Its real hard to have depression and its even harder to realise that its something you cant cure when you snap your finger. There are two choices you can make. Talk to a doctor and ask about going on meds, or tough it out and use coping skills. Eat properly, get as much sleep as you can and exercise. Also spend as much time with your friends. All those keep the thought of these feelings at the back of your head. It may not be easy but go ahead and give it a try.

Answer 4

As a healthcare provider I can tell you that you need some professional help. You cannot 'make yourself feel better' no more than one of my diabetic patients can 'make' themselves better. Depression is a real illness...which most of the time needs medication. I wish everyone could know that just because depression affects your emotions and your mind, it doesn't mean that you can use either one to 'cure' yourself. Seek help...life does not have to be this hard.

Answer 5

If you are truly depressed you can't just "get over it'. You need to see a doctor so you can be treated with counseling, medication ,or both. If you are just feeling down in the dumps then it is probably just a temporary thing...we all have days like that.

Answer 6

Then learn to find your centre of consciousness by practicing daily for at least 20 minutes, the techniques to be found at: http://www.relax7.com/7.php and in the blogs of Shan Eris on "tackling depression" at: www.myspace.com If it continues for more than 2 weeks, a doctor needs to diagnose whether it is clinical depression, but medication can take a while to be effective, so employ at least one of the techniques, which can be invaluable in times of adverse life events.

Answer 7

If this has been going on for 2 weeks or more you need to see your family doctor. No one has to suffer the pain and agony of depression. I am taking Lexapro for depression and it really is amazing how much it has helped me.

Answer 8

No smart remarks necessary- it stinks to be sad. Have you tried talking to a counselor or an adult? Counselors really help, they always know what you're thinking and can really help you understand why you feel the way you do. :-) just talk to people.
