Are you depressed? Has anyone ever SAID anything that helped? What? Serious answers only please.?

Question

I prefer people not taking medication and using other methods to cope with depression.

Answer 1

I know this sounds absolutely nuts, but when I got a puppy, my two year depression slowly but surely evaporated. I was so in love, so full of joy and having to take responsibility for this little creature that it wiped out my pity party.

I did it without medication and my depression was so bad I could not even walk or get out of bed. But when that little puppy was whimpering to go to the bathroom, I jumped right up and helped her.

I think the point of the story is when you truly get outside of yourself, you find a wonderful world.

Answer 2

Everyone experiences depression and if if they don't, they are very lucky.I do take meds. for seziures. I lost a friend in the summer of 2005. She lost control of her car,she was 20.
It was the neighbor's daughter (NO! we weren't going study or actuallu realted), I felt like an uncle to her, I knew her siince she was 5. She was shy and I tried ti work to get her over some of it, I guess that's one reason it hurts so much..
I'm also around aome griping and stuff which almost drives me nuts.But as an epileptic, I have learned that life isn't fair. Those of us with disabilities were chosen for a special purpose in life.
At least one of my meds.(possible) have a side effect - depression. But if u hv to takem 'em, you hv to take 'em.

Answer 3

Well, what kind of country would it be if a bunch of melancholy people were sitting and lying around being sad and feeling like everything is hopeless-the least depressed people are the ones who find things to distract themselves-so, why not force distractions upon the melancholy-if they dont know the source(s) of the distraction is unethical how can they complain?

There is a point where depression breaks and your soul dies

Answer 4

I was once depressed several years ago. My mother and friends changed that, however, by showing me a place I belonged. When they proved I had a place in this world, and potential to help, I grew optimistic and my luck changed. My grades changed and I understood myself better, and now I am helping others depressed like I once was with the help of my therapist. In addition, my goal to write a book kept me going when everything seemed hopeless. It was really just a mixture of support and motivation that saved me.

Answer 5

any sort of depression can be tide over by faith in GOD and sincere prayer.

Answer 8

Most depression manifests itself in a chemical imbalance in the brain. Meds are adept at correcting that imbalance. If you have a chemical imbalance, nobody can say anything to you that can correct it.

However, after it's corrected, counseling can help prevent it from returning.
