Title: Depression?
Post by: smt on July 18, 2012, 07:59:56 PM: I hate to bring my stupid personal issues to CG but I've been feeling really shitty about generally everything lately and I've been wondering if any of you guys know if it's depression, something else or just nothing, I dunno.

Some shit I been feeling: I can pretty much list every symptom off the NHS page for depression (http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Depression/Pages/Symptoms.aspx) and I've felt it at some point over the last couple of days. Kronic told me I should try get some sleep but really I've been having shit sleep for years and never felt like this before.

So uh, share stories and discuss what you think I'm feeling I guess? idk :-\

ps. Don't get confused if this thread suddenly gets removed I'll probably hate my self for posting it then remove it

Post by: The Mysterious Stranger on July 18, 2012, 08:16:15 PM: Yeah, I had the same as you. I felt depressed most of the times and became more aware about my surroundings. I had shit sleep and started to feel light in the arms and legs. It's probably anxiety and happens in the earlier stages of teenagers and adolescence. Try to get some more sleep, keep the bad thoughts off your mind by countering it with good thoughts, get out more to get those thoughts off your mind. It will wear off soon.

Post by: smt on July 18, 2012, 09:43:44 PM: Almost 17, it's just strange 'cause I've had some really shit times but this just feels different, tiny things make me more mad than they should and stuff

sigh

Post by: TheKrusader on July 18, 2012, 09:57:27 PM: A few months back I had the same thing that you're going through. It sucks, I know, but what I did to pass by it is just talking to some of my friends, they usually cheer me up and I thought "Hey, why not give it a try." Another thing I'd recommend is keep yourself busy, get your mind off things.

One question, you don't have to give me the specifics, but did something happen before you started feeling like this- or was it just out of the blue?
Title: Re: Depression?
Post by: smt on July 18, 2012, 09:59:15 PM: Something sort of happened, I guess, the same sort of thing happened before though, never been like this
Title: Re: Depression?
Post by: TheKrusader on July 18, 2012, 10:03:08 PM: Hmm.. well the only advice, other than what I said, is that it will pass. I know it seems and feels bad right now, but you will get through it and it will only be a memory. About the sleeping, have you tried taking some sleeping pills or something that will make you drowsy? Or if you don't want to take the medicinal approach, you could drink the very cliche 'warm milk' before bed, or maybe play classical music as you go to sleep.

Post by: ??. McBullet on July 18, 2012, 10:42:11 PM: You've only had it for a few days? It's not clinical depression. Depression is a long-term disorder which cannot be determined in the first few weeks- after two weeks of feeling the symptoms, you could possibly consider it as a possibility. I'm going to guess you have dysthymia, which is a low-level, short-term feeling of sadness. It usually goes away in a few days to a week, perhaps you should try to get more sleep, engage in less-stressful activities, hang out with friends, etc.

Puberty hormones are later with left handed people, so as someone suggested it's the late hormones that could've caused it.
Nothing related to what you assumed xD

Post by: smt on July 19, 2012, 03:11:06 AM: Right handed

I go outside often enough, I used to go out less than I do currently though lol

And yes I know it's not depression it's just all the same symptoms and shit, sometimes It's really bad other times it's okay (last few days)

Give it time, If your still feeling bad consider visiting a doctor or something.

Post by: Kryptic on July 19, 2012, 10:11:10 AM: I've felt like this a lot. When I get depressed I just listen to music and stuff. Also I don't know if its already been said or not but what is causing you to be depressed? :'(
Title: Re: Depression?
Post by: smt on July 19, 2012, 10:12:39 AM: I'm not really sure, if it is this "one thing" I think it is I'd rather not say, but it's happened before and I didn't ever feel this shitty, sometimes I feel fine sometimes I just feel complete shit sigh
Title: Re: Depression?
Post by: Rory on July 19, 2012, 11:27:26 AM: Try to figure out your depression first, try different things and do different things. Maybe take a break from CG and do a new daily task that will take your mind off of old shit.

There not even drugs, just natural melatonin pills.. melatonin is found in milk when you heat it up, it's all natural... I take it when I can't sleep, I don't need it the next day.

They contain ingredients in a capsul, they can be used for certain things and are prescription only pills, they are drugs... It's a drug. They can be good for you but it's a drug.

He doesn't need pills, anti-depressants, weed, or any other sort of bull shit pills or drugs to calm his depression.

Post by: Khub on July 21, 2012, 05:12:07 PM: I am not sure if you've tried that out already; but try talking to someone about your problem. I don't mean over computer, but in real life. Discuss your problems with your best friend / girlfriend, anyone with piece of brain will do his own best to help you. Talking about my problems with someone else usually helps me.
Title: Re: Depression?
Post by: .technoSprint on July 22, 2012, 03:33:34 PM: I had depression for a long ass time but it was probably just hormones. I was prescribed Prozac(an anti-depressant) for it for something around 2 years, and it must've helped because I've been off of them for a couple of months and feeling great. My dad was depressed too, and still is, so it runs in my family.
Prozac is definitely a recommendation from me, along with counseling. It's always good to have someone to talk to, and I did counseling for the longest time. Plus, their offices tend to be really relaxing and uplifting :)

I don't think illegal drugs are going to help your depression much.

Post by: Commissar on July 28, 2012, 02:32:41 AM: I've felt like this but I dunno if it was a phase or what cuz it went away around the beggining of the year and i had been depressed since around 14 , 17 now and i feel happier in life. I think it might pass for you later on but dunno. (Hint started smoking weed HEHEHE)
Title: Re: Depression?
Post by: Martinerrr on July 28, 2012, 06:24:27 AM: Weed is just being a dumb fuck, people smoke weed because they're bored to shit or just acting cool to tell others. "I smoked weed bro."

And to be honest, I think Smt lost his depression, although he seems to be dying from the heat.

Weed is disgusting, so is all other drugs. Regardless of how you feel you should never smoke it or anything.
