Shrinks/therapists/counsellors suck... they make you imagine you are more than case number X34M756 but you aren't. Long time ago when I had a shrink I told her that I don't need your help because I am a number in a file and I can help myself in more ways than you can help me.

 

I have depession every so often

 

I was diagnosed about a month ago and I am taking Paxcil CR....I think it's really great, done me some good, and I changed a few things in my life that I think were not helping.

 

mine helps.

 

Going through it as we speak. dealing with my girl and everything. but just turning it over to God and letting him guide me.

 

Same here.

Everyone goes through depression at least once in their life. It's life. When you go through the down time in your life... it's important to think about the ups. When I was at my lowest. I turned to the one thing that was important to me. And engrossed myself in it. I know that you said driving was one of the most important things to you.. and the privilage was taken from you.. except for certain situations. That sucks. But few people have one interest in life. Find something else you love.. and focus all your energy on that. Keep busy... you'll rarely have time to dwell. I can imagine how much things must suck right now.. no job... no driving. When I was depressed.. I at least was busy. I had my job. And I had my friends.. so I wasn't alone alot to dwell. But there were times when I did.. and it SUCKED. Just keep your head up.. and don't keep things to yourself.. share with friends.. and your parents if you can. Good luck. :happysad:

 

yup, depression sucks. i can control it sometimes, but now i'm getting it again. and it sucks. i don't even feel like going to work or going out.

 

I have been dealing with serious depression since I was 12 or 13.

I have taken meds for it but left them for self management....its hard but its better than relying on drugs for the rest of my life to get through the day.

I have my good days...weeks...months, and i have my bad ones but they last much less than before as I have learned what to see in myself and what is triggering thie fits of depression.

not easy but not impossible to deal with on your own.
