Are you depressed?

Azumarill · June 29, 2015, 03:19:03 AM

ofttimes, i lie to myself and say that im not but i live in a state of near perpetual melancholy. its been negatively affecting my work and my relationships for years.

some people live in despair for so long that they become addicted to the negativity. im not sure if its necessarily a bad thing though, to live this way. i dont really know what its like to not be depressed, so its hard to discern the truth of the matter.

Doctors said so. I'm not on any sort of medication, which is great.

Ah good, I didn't get to address some comments that were made about depression medication on the anarchy thread.

No, depression meds do not work for everyone, and the only way to take them effectively is to start in large doses and wean yourself off of them.

I went from taking three pills a day to at the end of the year taking it twice a week, because if your brain gets used to having that new chemical balance, and you slowly stop providing the supplementary chemicals at a slow rate, your brain will actually work to produce that where it did not before.

This does not work for everyone, but its absolute true that doctors will lie to you to keep you dependent on meds if it doesn't work for you, because they lime to take advantage of psychiatric patients.

I took the wrong meds for a whole year and became increasingly dependent on them before I started taking meds that would actually help me.

i used to be. i don't think i am anymore; i feel significantly better in every way than i did a few years back. still showing some common signs of depression but honestly it's more likely a vitamin d deficiency

I don't think I've really been depressed.

I mean save for when I lost family. I was pretty down then. But I'm generally a positive person.

Not anymore really

I love people on this thread saying, "Nah, I'm not depressed. I have a pretty decent life so there's nothing to be depressed about!" as if depression was a logical thing that only happens to homeless people and failing college students.
