Ok, here is the situation. For the past couple of months, give or take a few weeks i have been feeling really really down. I'm on medication and i got put onto a sleep-aid because my doctor thought that if i sleep better i may be in a better mood. right. so i have been taking this sleeping pill for over a month i think, and my mood isnt any better. I am in councelling as well, but we havent gotten in depth yet. Sometimes i feel like it's all just in my head, like, i just THINK im depressed, but i'm not really. But even if that is true, its still effecting me. I have been in the hospial 4 times for this, but there is this treatment centre that is very well known. I dont know if i should go to it or not, or if i should toughen up and just...work on it myself. The only problem with the last choice is, i have no motivation to do that, i just want to sleep all the time etc.

i defiantly talk to people about how im feeling all the time. i just, feel like they listen to me only because they HAVE to cause they are my friends, and i cant help but feel that they dont understand what im going through at all, because they havent been through what i have been.

MsMaxie Ok, here is the situation. For the past couple of months, give or take a few weeks i have been feeling really really down. I'm on medication and i got put onto a sleep-aid because my doctor thought that if i sleep better i may be in a better mood. right. so i have been taking this sleeping pill for over a month i think, and my mood isnt any better.

I dont know if i should go to it or not, or if i should toughen up and just...work on it myself. The only problem with the last choice is, i have no motivation to do that, i just want to sleep all the time etc. I have that feeling too, like I just want to sleep all the time. But sleep and depression are almost 2 entirely different things. As for toughening up and doing this yourself, I have a little story for you. One day I was feeling like crap, as I usually do, but my mom noticed and decided to talk to me. I told her all about how depressed I am and I told her that I feel like theres something wrong with me. She asked me if I had done this and that and I told her I had already tried everything she suggested on my own. She told me "Thats it. Your doing this alone. You cant do this alone, you need someone else to talk to to help you." So that kind of stuck with me. As much as we want to, we cant fix this by sitting in our room for hours until we figure it out. We need to get out there and interact with people and get help. All the lone meditation will most likely only make it worse. I suggest you go to the place, but thats just my opinion.

I feel exactly the same way. I often feel like no one cares when I tell them how I feel, but I did find someone whos been through the same thing at some point and she gives me advice sometimes. Try finding someone whos been through it too or find someone who genuinly cares about how you feel

i have a councellor that is just awesome, and i'm going to start seeing him more now that im not in school. sometimes i just feel like i dont even care about getting help, because everytime i seem to get ahead i always get pushed back. but i am thinking about going to the treatment centre, bt first i am going to get a job and see i me getting out for that and getting to know more people will help at all. if it doesnt, than i am for sure going to go.

I kno exactly how you feel. I have to force myself to find a reason to get up in the morning, and I'm never in a good mood. I don't go to therapy, I'm not on meds, but I'm beginning to move on. I was a cutter for a while, but then, I talked to my friend. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to commit suicide. My friend is more of a sister than a friend, I can trust her with anything, and she cried when I told her about everything. I didn't kno what to do, but I talked and now, I'm starting to feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I still don't fall asleep til about two or three in the morning, but it's better than pulling an all nighter like I used to do. I'm always a snappy person, I yell at people for no reason and then cry because I think I hurt them. Talk to anyone you can, find somebody to play games with, to have fun wiht, it helps.

i do talk to someone, my councellor. i can't talk to my friends because none of them really understand, and i dont expect them too because they havent gone through what i have. or when i do talk to them, they get all mad at me for talking about suicide or thinking of cutting. so i just dont talk to them anymore. just my councellor cause hes awesome and although he doesnt understand, he tries and he just lets me talk about what i want, and lets me cry etc.

You should talk to my friend Rika_Suuyari, she's the one that helped me. She's really kind and understanding and doesn't get mad at me for talking about suicide. She helps a lot, and I'm sure she'd be willing to talk to you.

I have a similar problem.
Most likely, you ARE depressed. Maybe you've just repressed it, or felt depressed/sad so much that you can't feel it anymore. It's just like a regular thing to you, and you can't identify it as well as you used to.
That's what happens to me. So, maybe you're going through the same thing.
And I don't think you should go to the mental hospital...
Not because I don't want you to get help, but because those places can make it worse.
They'll talk to you about your deepest issues, and, if you really ARE repressing the things that make you sad, they'll dig them all out of your mind.
I doubt ANYONE would handle that well.
And you sound like a strong person, I'm sure you'll get through this.
All you need to do, is put the peices together, and try to think of little things/big things that would normally make you sad. And if they aren't, then you're definitely repressing it.
If/When you find out about your repression, you need to do this:
The second you FEEL the sadness, cry.
Cry it all out. Don't stop, and cry even if you don't want to. Believe me, it helps.

☆☆ oh i know im depressed, i got diagnosed with it years ago. but, i have no idea why at this moment in my life i am. i mean nothing THAT bad is happening right now. i have been to a hospital for this...4 times already. i mean, my bad moods are starting to control my life. i mean, i get into a bad mood out of no where, and i have no idea the reason either. i just want to give up on it all and just be an extremely depressed person, but something in me, some small part in me, knows that i deserve better

It is good that you always talk to your friends, you deserve them, but just believe in them a little more, that might help your situation a little bit.

Have you talked to your doctor about increasing the dosage of your depression medication? Maybe you're not taking enough.
