What do you do when depression hits you hard??

Question

And you are sleeping/eating/enjoying yourself less?

I listen to music, eat a lot and sleep. That's all that seems to help.

Also, WHAT TIME IS IT THERE??!

It's 10 minutes before "Pot smoking time", 4:10 AM...

Answer 1

eat, sleep, and cry

Answer 2

When depression hits the world narrows, and sleep is something others do. Fear and pain are nothing, terror- is a joke. Moving through life like a ghost and not caring if you get hit by a car or a bus, you just hope its a quick end, but know that it won't- God will torture you more by making you less then capable of completing the task.

People that have never been really depressed, have no clue what its like.

What depressed people need is to get up, take a walk, or better a run, have sex, work out, watch children play or better laugh.

Depression is a tough thing to get through.

Answer 3

i sleep a lot too, dont listen to music (which i love but for some strange reason, when im very depressed have no desire to put a cd on let alone listen to it)

but i do watch a shitload of movies with depressing endings, and cry then fall asleep, when i had bad depression a few years ago, i literally couldnt get out of bed,it was horrible and i had severe insomnia, would be awake for about 4 days then would be knocked out for 2, only reason i would wake was to go to the toilet, then would return and go to sleep again, the strangest period in my life so far, had no energy whatsoever, i hope it doesnt come back, i still get off days tho, when dont feel like getting up, but i just force myself and before i know it, the days passed

if its a short term bout, i usually hit the bottle, not a good idea i know

Answer 4

I have been suffering from post partum depression for the past one year when I gave birth to a baby boy. I couldn't stop thinking about how my husband loves him more than me and how things might be better if he wasn't born at all. Thus, I stayed away from him because I knew that I might do something I will regret for the rest of my life.

Almost instantly I went to a therapist and convince them that I need help. Among other things, I've tried herbal supplements and other book to treat depression but nothing works like the Depression Free Method. So now I'm proud to say I'm one of the happiest mother in the world. My husband loves us both very much and I thank the Lord for the blessing he gave us.

Depression Free Method?

Answer 5

When depressed nothing matters to me, I mean nothing.
Couldn't care less if i hit a tree in my car, just make sure no seat belt or airbag and have to be speeding over 100 MPH, or If I have a heart attack and die just to get that over with as well or I go to the local Pub, drink a lot of rum straight then hit the first asshole who says or does the wrong thing to me.
Or i answer these questions,. it is 3:22 am here.

Answer 6

I listen to depressing music watch sad shows. Think a lot. I call people as part of that reaching out thing, but they're usually too busy to talk.

Answer 7

Same time here in Ohio, USA.
What I did was cry my eyes out.
Thank God I only had acute clinical depression, not chronic.
9 months of counseling and doctors' care and 7 months of prescription antidepressants, but having a best friend to help me out and finally making plans for the future helped me the most.

Answer 8

When I feel depressed I eat like a pig, and sleep too!
I isolate myself from everyone.

Answer 9

I do absolutely nothing but sleep or watch tv, things that require no effort on my part. Sometimes I even "forget" to eat, and when I realize I haven't eaten all day I don't care to get anything.

Answer 10

Wow, you can sleep while in the state of depression, its unusual.

Looking for an exit, I go out with friends. Sometimes, I prefer to be alone, do housekeeping and gardening until I sweat.
