Thanks hun. I will.

Awww...*Hugs you back* ^.^

Well, generally it doesn't take a lot. Companionship, friendship and nice times. But this has been strongly lacking more and more and I'm nearly without anything. Alone and sad.

Yeah, it is very nice and a moment of fun. I had found my first friends from rping at a forum a while back, but since then the forum has died and most of those friends have moved on.

Not really. I have at most 4 now.

Thanks dear. I'll try. ^.^

Murrrrrrlll...*Purs and wiggles my pawtoes* ^.^

I have taken them and while I wouldn't advise you against them I will warn that they don't always work. If you have major depression they are a must but with minor depression, at least from what I have researched, don't always work.

Oh...I was afraid of that because I don't think my depression comes internally. Mostly situationally. So as I would imagine, antidepressants would be by a case by case situation for people who can't help it. Not like me who would only need it to get by until my situation improved.

It's any wonder why so many people can't break free from this as there doesn't seem to be quite a good solution. I am slowly running out force of will and resolve.

Sadly the thing is anti-depressants can't "cure" depression. It is a long term problem. The best possible way to deal with depression is to have a good support group (ie: friends and family) to help you through the harder times. Trust me, I deal with depression myself so I know how you are feeling.

It is weird how depression is so common and yet like the common cold there is no outstanding medicine to deal with it.

As I would have imagined. It's why I've been sinking lower as I've been getting less and less friends. And having moved away from my family.

Well, if you ever want to chat I can be around skype. If at the very least to be someone to try to comfort you.

Thanks so much hun

I don't personally but people I know do. Sorry if this isn't a great answer, but there are a lot of different antidepressants, and they all affect people differently. But I'd encourage you to talk with your doctor, some trial and error and you can find something that works for you.

This does help though, thanks. As I would imagine it's not quite as easy as I would have expected. I will discuss this with my doctor.

Talk to a psychiatrist first. There are many many many different ones and communicate with him often to adjust the dosage, prescription, and
timing. Good luck.

Okay. Thanks

Leave those fricken antidepressants alone!
The sideaffects from taking them,does more harm than good!
I dealt with my issues of schizophrenia and depression. The shrinks had me taking lithium
And I believe that it was the reason I've become diabetic. You can Google that!
I have come across some books that dealt with the studies of the human physiology on the college level.
How to study the "patient",diagnos him/her with a certain mental condition/s,the possible treatments of those conditions, prescribed medication,therapy sessions, and so on....
Lithium, according to what the book says of it,if a patient has a family history of diabetes . Prescribe with close supervision!
Of course, most of those antidepressants impair judgment to a certain degree ,uncontrollable involuntary movement of body parts and Sometimes even permanent!
Feeling tired and drowsiness.
Even sexually affects you!
Let's see
... ah yeas! RESPERIDONE! STAY AWAY FROM THAT! I was prescribed that! I had twitchy fingers, my boy tits started lactating!
I advise you to find other ways to ease the discomfort of depression besides taking the risks of taking antidepressants!
You remember news reports of people who was prescribed Prozac?
If you are planning on seeing a shrink and unfortunately want to prescribe medication. ....
Be sure to ask them to inform you on the side affects that medication may cause!
Don't just take it because they say so! HELLTOTHAFUCKNO!
You like mah typing pattern, how what I am typing makes sense and then it doesn't, missing words that makes a sentence more understandable, and seems like I speak mah own language?
Uh huh! Take those antidepressants and you'll understand !

Oh my! That's what I was worried about! Those sound horrible. o.o;

Like I said, there are many different ones, and report your symptoms. This isn't an either or decision.

Absolutely are!
I wanna can I slap them with multiple lawsuits?
I learned to deal with my issues and stop taking those medications!
Speaking of "sound" ,I hear and see things that aren't even there!
To deal with my issues.
I go hang out with friends that knows and accept my issues, listen to my stereo, fix,something, draw,wait for the flea markets to open, watch the tv,torture ,feed the pigeons!

I hope that this depression thing wasn't a lifelong history?
Maybe a therapy session with people with similar issues might help? Best to talk about things to another person.
I've been to those kind of sessions. .. you might think you had problems until the next person share theirs! I tell ya!
Makes you feel better about your own or make you feel like you issue ain't no big deal!
You'll laugh, cry,or crouch low and tiptoe on all fours,out of the therapy group session!
If all else fails and you do get prescribed antidepressants. .. may God have mercy on you and those pills too!
I hope that there will be none at all and may it short term if possible! *hugs*

Thankfully, it's not a lifelong history, just a situation based thing. I'm trying to fix my situation but my luck keeps ruining things. So I can only push through.

*Hugs back* Thanks Tyrone. You're a great friend.

I take Paxil. It has helped me a ton. Just discuss this with your doctor first.

Thanks, I will.

Any time sweetie

I'm agree with , but I raccomand you to use natural antidepressive. Nothing beats Mother Nature's creations!

Okay. Thanks so much. I will look into it.

Antidepressants can have side effects, and in some cases make things worse. Even natural ones you have to be careful of, because there can still be side effects. So if you do take anything, a pill or a plant, do the research first and understand what side effects go along with it.

But I do agree with what was said before. A support group can work as well. Have you looked into going to a support group? Sometimes just being able to talk it out with people can help.

Thank you for the information.

Thanks so much. That video is so emotional. :'3
