Does anyone like suffer with Depression?
Or an ED?
or like anything else...
diagnosed or not.
Yeah I used to but these days I try to get over it although there are times I feel really low but even then I manage to move on and just carry on with life.
diagnosed bipolar (used to be depression but they changed their mind) but unmedicated.
I try to just get on with it though and it mostly manifests through emotion which I can hide
Never struggled with depression.
Erm I guess. For like 2 years it was similar to depression (I really kinda don't wanna say that word 'cause some people might get pissed if you flung a mental disorder into ordinary use) and then nearly 2 years after that it just seems to be constant swinging from 'depressed' to 'over the moon' yeah.
I'm much better now though, past few months really have had an impact :P
Haven't been diagnosed with anything, I guess because I've never had the guts to tell anyone/doctors truthfully what's going on, but I'm sure there's something going on up there.. ;//
My mums bf has struggled with depression for years though, was on medication etc.
DAMN.
I do love you all aye..
I've had depression for roughly 6/7 years and some other **** aye.
I have two mental health issues.. I'm pretty prone to depression but I've never let it get on top of me. Defo not taking any pills either!
Been recommended by my doctor to go to a psychiatrist to get propperly diagnosed for depression, didn't go. Too scared to find out what they'd say.
If you go and they diagnose you, you could just refuse tablets and demand counselling? or a psychiatrist? I prefer a psy, they aren't as sly and horrible as a counsellor.

(Just to clarify I wouldnt, or couldnt take another humans life (unless they were trying to kill me)).Quote:

It's more of a "get to know people" thread than an insult someone by denying their diagnoses. aye :)

i don't but i have relatives who do suffer from depression and other stuff
i was diagnosed with panic disorder a year or so ago which is basically panic attacks which comes with anxiety, from there i developed GAD (generalised anxiety disorder) which is basically restlessness, trouble falling asleep, ongoing worry and difficulty concentrating.
Hello!I've recently been re-assesed for my mental state. I suffer with clinical depression, GAD & OCD. I am currently being treated for my anger problems. Tbh, they can diagose you with something but they will never know for sure! Each mind is unique and each disorder is different in every person. Now i'm learning to control my problems, all I want to do now is help other people who were like me to get better.
you are super !! What are your panic attacks like?
what causes your panic attacks usually? :O
I have panic attacks daily, but I don't like break down. I usually just feel like my heart has been ripped out and my stomach caves in, my spine folds and my body snaps. so idk

If I get any worse, I tend to have small fits after.Quote:

lol welcome to hxf..
eh diagnosed with depression at age 15 but my depression was only just starting then & also diagnosed with body dysmorphia disorder (a preoccupation with a particular part(s) of your body) at age 17, the only two times ive seen a psychiatrist lol. deffo had social anxiety but never been diagnosed for that. im over most of the depression, still get preoccupied with my looks but don't let it ruin me and i still have social anxiety to an extent but accept the fact that sometimes i will get shy but have to soldier on anyway!
seems like a lot but tbh they all roll into one, the bdd eventually led to avoidin people because of feeling too ugly which then led to social anxiety and further exacerbating depression. when i have my bdd under control (usually with a bit of makeup or being around good ppl!!) then i generally have the anxiety and depression under control too :)
It depends really, when Ive bottled my anger up its quite good getting it out.. When I end up fitting which usually means I head to a&e, i hate every minute haha.Quote:

It's tough to stop thinking the way you do - or stop actions that you're so used to doing (you don't even realise).
I'm one of these people though - if I didn't have a disorder, I wouldn't understand it myself. I genuinely feel sorry for people with these sort of troubles because I know the genuine sufferers can't help it. As I've just said to @Gina; my girlfriend's mum has a disorder and it's a very nice thing to have someone there who understands. Laura a lot of the time doesn't understand but because her mum's disorder is closely related I feel like she understands whole-heartedly.
I'd watch programmes on TV about some mental disorders and a lot of the time I could relate - I know how they feel about certain things.
It is really nice to have someone who understands your "condition". In real life it's difficult for friends and family to understand why one may get panic attacks or something and therefore easily jump to the conclusion that its self-inflicted and that it could have been avoided. If anyone ever wants to talk...feel free to PM me or ask for my skype x
In my line of work and also study, it's damn near impossible to not at some stage end up depressed or with PTSD.
Everyone at some point in their life hits a low, it's too common these days and I can't understand why people are afraid to tell someone about it. I'd be curious to know how many people on this thread have self harmed in one way or another i.e starving, dehydrating, burning, cutting, self neglect etc. I would recommend anyone feeling low should talk to someone, you've got nothing to worry or be ashamed about.
Just remember, if anyone judges you ask them if they've ever been sad.. If they say yes, you tell them they've experience depression themselves and should be ashamed to have contradicted and ashamed themselves.
I have been in and out of depression for the past 2 years, sometimes it gets really bad and then other times I feel like it's okay. It was the worst when I was at school. I was also diagnosed with OCD just over a year ago which I take medication for
quit the antidepressants while you have the chanceQuote:

it's like holding your breath and then breathing 2 minutes later. You've focused so much on not breathing that nothing in the world matters and then once you take that next breath it's like you're free again
Would you rather your emotions be trapped in a locked chest or free?
i've never been diagnosed with anything, and i don't feel like i've ever suffered from anything
Never suffered from depression or anything like it.
you speak so much truth sir. antidepressants are just given out willy nilly now and so many people who didnt need them are now completely dependant on them..Quote:
