i dunno what my diagnosis is anymore, ive been on anti depressants for nearly 8 years continuous, im now off anti depressants but on an anti psychotic to help with my mood swings and my low moods i get, i can go from being really happy to so low that i wana die in the space of a few hours, sometimes days. So i dont think mine is clinical depression but something else

when i went through it it was soooo hard i was always sad angry i'd cry just out nowhere i was very pessimistic and at one point i did feel like killing myself i was one of those people who thought others were actually stupid for thinking that way but i was soo wrong it can realy happen to anybody its like not being alone and still feeling lonely and i completely understand now what people go through i thought it would never happen i geuss thats where that saying comes in ''never say never''

Everyone thought just had a massive drink problem as I did. Drinking stops you thinking. you are sllf medicating with alcohol and that is dangerous. alcohol is a depressant and will exaggerate your depression. its a short term fix to a long standing problem. I am on the verge of loosing my car, house and girlfriend but I feel 100% better than I did 2 months ago because I am now being treated for depression.

drcoxy9 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

go and see a doctor straight away xx if you seriously have suicidal thoughts he/she will help you. if someone told me 2 years ago i would have depression i would have lol. I did not know what depression was and how distructive it can be.

yeah drcoxy9, i understand, but with out alcohol, how can i prevent depression? is there any way i can go thru it, atleast not killin it, but go thru it, not to feel the pain, and weakness, if u you know what i mean, ppl think different. and i haven't been to the doctor yet, so i dont know whats my type of depression is. but thanks for the advice

street1g1, I have been self medicating with alcohol for the past 18 months. I felt so bad but I didnt know I was suffering from depression until I took an overdose 6 weeks ago and then was diagnosed with deppression. Im on meds know and dont drink at all.....feel alot better. keep of the drink and you will feel better too.
