you need some counseling and medication to get you through this, if you let it go too long it will only get worse. I have been there, still go there at times. I have to really keep my depression in check. just remember its not you that is causing these thoughts its the depression. you will get better, I promise.

Hey, don't I know those feelings. I can't tell you how many times they got me into trouble (not physical violence). It is all of those things about people that piss you off about, coming out in one shot!!! Mine was caused from depression too.
My doctor recommended Celexa, and I have to say that I am on the lowest dosage given, but I feel 100% more in control. I still get aggravated, and I still feel emotions. They just don't take over me anymore.
Please try to get some meds. You will feel so much better, I promise. Remember that it takes about a month for some of the medications that they prescribe to get into your systems, but after they do, you will be very pleased. It just depends on what they prescribe for you.
Also remember to tell the doctor about any bad side effects, because every med works differently for different people. You may have to change a time or two until they find the right one for you.

Hey you did it!!!! You admitted to behaviour you don't like - great, awesome. This is such a good thing. I can relate to what you wrote.
Surround yourself with positive people.
Forgive and let go of the bitterness inside. Counselling will help. Unforgiveness of others and yourself in addition to holding grudges does a great deal of harm - it can cause depression, illness and a sense of emptyness.
Get active - exercise! Walk, jog, crunches, push-ups. Exercise raises endorphines in the body which elevates your mood.
I take Celexa for depression. I works wonders for me. It is best to visit a doctor and ask what the side effects are.
Control your thoughts. Conquer bad thoughts with positive ones.
Write down what you like about yourself - it does not matter how short or long the list is. Put it by your mirror and read it everytime you look into that mirror.
When you look in the mirror, smile. Fake it till you feel it. This takes practice.
God is always there - so talk to him. He helped me and countless others.
Life is so worth living. Deep down I think you understand this. Be persistent in changing your negative thought patterns, for they are stumbling blocks, and feed yourself positive thoughts.
Learn to be comfortable with yourself and learn to enjoy your own company.
Take comfort in those who have answered your question because they have gone through something similar to what you are now experiencing.

See site below for natural help for depression. Also Dr Phil is saying that people with a lot of rage may have heavy metal toxicity. See Natural Cures page for help with that. Also see Finding Happiness page since happiness is the cure for all mental issues.

See depression treatments, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris in section 2, and consult a doctor, to eliminate thyroid problems, etc. as possible contributing factors: also seek a referral to a therapist using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy. It is your decision, and yours alone, as to whether to take any antidepressants offered, but, before you do, read section 1, and check medications out at www.drugs.com so you will be on the lookout for side effects, like sexual dysfunction. My strong recommendation, however, is to follow the advice of my doctor, his associate, and also Marcelle Pick, OB/GYN NP, and Dr. Mercola, as well, at http://www.mercola.com and avoid antidepressants (pages 2V, and 2Z refer, & antidepressant websites: page 2). The reasons why we all share the same view on this are explained in full, as you will find, if you read the whole section. All of their advice, (except prayer, because many people are not religious) I have incorporated into the "core treatments", including others as options, such as herbal remedies, Inositol, or SAMe. If you are diagnosed with clinical (major) depression, antidepressants may be necessary for a while, which will give the treatments time to become effective. The antidepressants themselves need at least several days, or even many weeks to become effective. It's a good idea to taper off them slowly, with medical advice, after several months, say, to a couple of years, at most, because they are only effective in the long term for about 30% of people. Because of this, you would be well advised to begin the treatments immediately, and maintain them. I'd just thank your mental health care provider, and pocket the prescription, trying the treatments for a few months, to see if they are sufficient for you, before considering filling it (unless clinically depressed, and having great difficulty functioning, or suicidal, in which case I'd take them). Suicidal thoughts are addressed in section 5, loneliness, and bullying, in sections 9, and 37.

i've never taken meds, but i once saw a commercial for a depression medicine and i swear that it said "side effects may include suicide, suicidal thoughts, and severe sadness..." among other things. I couldn't believe my ears, a pill to treat depression that sometimes makes it worse???? I don't think you should take meds, but try replacing EVERY negative thought with a positive. It makes a huge difference, i know. and pray and believe in God and Jesus. He loves you no matter what

the best way to handle this is the meaner people get to you the nicer you get to them it leaves them with no where to go nothing to fight about and leaves them feeling stupid. Forget about the ex ntohing feels better than that first kiss from a new person completely different from your ex not a fake relationship. Better times are coming but dont wait for them no longer.

Go to a Dr. and see if you can get on some meds. I am on Effexor right now for depression, but have been on cymbalta, paxil, welbutrin, prozac, and celexa, they all seem to take the edge off a little bit.

i've been to that same situation like yours before. dealing with depression is quite hard, but then if you get yourself so busy, like doing your favorite hobbies, sports, and hanging out with your closest friends will most likely help you step up. :) keep yourself happy as much as possible. this aint a very good advice but smoking helped me a lot in losing depression, it releases out all your tensions your having at the moment. also, PRAY a lot. :)

I understand... It is very important that you exercise everyday... remember you don't need a gym membership to do push ups squats sit ups pull ups and dips ,run.
exercise will help you feel much better, also make sure your decisions in life are what you really want to do.
