Answer 1

Let's say it this way--(not "easy" for me either)--as a psychologist, I should know the answers? Right? Wrong. I can only be subjective about myself. But I have to say--that after over a year of adversities, absolute hell, there has been one & only one thing that has truly made me realize my value. There have been times when I honestly thought the only logical thing was to jump off a bridge. BUT. I CARE about someone. (Not "some thing.") My cat. My companion, who could not, even in the vet's view, ever survive without me. I couldn't abandon her whatever stress I'm going through. So, this is MY reason for "going on." Well, not entirely, since before we were so bonded, there have been many, many dark sides to my life. Yet--there truly is a survival mechanism that kicks in at the worst of times. I have been feeling over whelmed. This works for me, but may not for you. I invest myself in those who need me. I remind myself every day, of the"positive" things in my life. I use humour to soften the edges of what might be "dispair." & I remember, that the "dark sides" of the past have been overcome. I'm still here, aren't I? I think that says something. I wonder what "pill" you're on. Some of them may NOT work for YOU. Some can be very effective as you address your current issues. PLEASE fell free to email me if you like. I would like to help, if I can.

Edit: Have you seen how many people care about you? Can you care that much about yourself?

Answer 2

Wow, I am so sorry. I know how you feel well enough to tell you that nothing any of us can write will help that much. This time a little over a year ago I was so depressed I couldn't get up off my sofa. I didn't eat. I didn't answer the phone. I didn't go to work. (And I lost my job because of this.) I didn't even shower. I didn't leave my apartment. I was completely alone. I just couldn't function for over 10 days. I was so depressed that I just wanted God to take me in my sleep and then when I woke up the next day I was pissed that I was still alive. Depression can be bottomless pit that seems impossible to climb out of. It seems endless and hopeless and you can lose your will to live. Here's some advise that will sound really uncomfortable to you but it will help:

If you are feeling at all like I was this is what you have to do to help yourself. Since you are able to use your computer I would guess that aren't quite as depressed as I was (Thank God!) but your depression is severe and needs immediate attention before it gets worse. This can't wait for two weeks. You're in misery and you don't want to suffer two more weeks, do you? Why suffer when there is a light at the end of the tunnel and you can start feeling better in one or two days? If you need help with you kids, there are people that will help. If you are alone and can't drive EMS will come get you. I know people that work EMS and they do that sort of thing all the time. I know your misery. I fear what you are feeling. I know that darkeness. Please get help now. Nothing is more important right now than getting help.


Note: My depression started because of a car accident also. I had a neck injury and chronic pain.
At this current moment and for the last 8 moths I have been happier than I have ever been in my entire life. Things will get better for you too!

You need to confide in those that can help you and just tell them the truth or tell them there is an immediate emergency that you have to attend to. You'll be surprised how much people will help and how some things that seemed very urgent can wait. All of your stress is perpetuating your depression.

Answer 3

The trouble with depression is that it is a downward spiral that feeds on itself. You have to recognize that downward spiral and think of something else to break out of it.

If you think about it logically, things are not as bad as what your brain has created. Get outside. Look at the plants. Hear the birds. Have a nice meal. There really are things that will lift your spirit. Think about the good things. Think about work or a project and focus on that and not your depression.

I'm surprised that you are on meds and not feeling more happy. It does take about 3 days for the meds to kick in. Each day you take it, builds up on the amount left from the day before until you get to the point where you are inputting as much as you re getting rid of.

Answer 4

1) Try to calm down your mind by breathing deeply and slowly.
2) If you are theist, pray.
3) Don't watch TV or online movie (e.g. YouTube). It may affect you mind.
4) Do what you usually do. But be more focus than normal. It will hopefully distract you from the depression.
5) Know that what is past is past, let it go. Write the depression on the paper, crumb the paper, throw it into dustbin. It's work for some people.
6) Exercise.......
7) Share with your closest (and most understandable) friend about this depression.

All the best and take care.

Answer 5

Wow where to being, hmmm, well first and fore most I have to say we have all been there at one time or another. Fear not, this like most things in life is only temporary. What I would like you to do as soon as possible is find a local comedy club, or a college comedy club that practices often...and watch one of their performances regardless of cost. This is crucial, there is nothing greater in life than the gift of laughter, and you seriously need to laugh. No matter what happened in life, if you place yourself somewhere were everyone is laughing at least partially, if not fully reserved and crying, you will laugh, and then you will feel very good about being human.

If anyone was injured or worse take care of them, seriously being Strong for others builds your character in ways none can ever imagine. The Japanese have a saying..."what you pretend to be you will soon become." So in that regard, you will become a stronger person by pretending to be strong.

Get busy, if you are stuck in your home all day you will eventually get depressed, and eventually imagine that life is as boring as your current state. That is NEVER the case, there are so many things in existence today that boggle the imagination. I dare you to find an activity that preocupies your time, that makes you want to become better, and more importantly allows you to see your true potential. Take up dance classes, martial arts, join a book club, and just well be social. You will find your niche, but it is not at home. It is in the presense of your peers "as iron sharpens iron, so man sharpens his fellow man."

Just Do It, Laugh, Care, and Do something.

You will become stonger than you ever believed you could if you make a sincere effort to get out there and start.

Answer 6

Cry, dance your @ss off. write a poem about how you are feeling, Make a list of things you wanrt to accomplish in the next ten years.Look at animal websites. Make up a resturant menu with prices and specials. Design a great outfit. Keep yourself busy, and when you finish this list... make a list of all the peple that have made a good impact on you as a person.

Answer 7

General advice:
-talk to friends or family,
-do things you like,
-or things you liked when you were a kid
-find something to keep you busy - work, school, volunteer work

My own tricks (I am weird):
- play mmorpgs like WoW or AnarchyOnline.com (which is free). They give you clear goals, and easy way of achieving them. And you can talk to other people.
- listen to heavy metal music. It makes you feel you're not alone in your suffering, and encourages you to live on in spite of all hardships that life/God/people throw at you
When I feel depressedI listen to metal,
