Have you ever suffered from Depression ?

[blah blah blah]

This year for me.
Coming on here gives me something to concentrate on and i dont have to think about anything else.
Ive been suicidle before now. And actually started popping pills.
Im starting to get over it now but still a looong way to go.

Its horrible for me, all the time my brain feels like a total melt down and all the time i feel like crying and screaming.

That reminds me of me. Yet im not over popping. but i dont think we're talking about the same pills =]

blah blah blah seems the only person here who actually suffers proper clinical depression, everyone else from how they've said "it's getting better" due to life changes, that's unlikely to be depression. Depression often has nothing to do with how happy you can be, and as stated before it's not a mood. Being unhappy for long periods of time does not constitute depression, and people confusing the two often means that people with true depression don't get the help they need because it's not taken seriously.

Ok well i was acutally meaning a totally different pill then =]

With what alot of people have said i dont think you have depression but just going through a very sad stage in your life because of something or someone. Though you can develop depression, if you did its highly likly you would have develop something else that could possbily classify you as "mentally unhealthy".
In other words, if you have it and you dont treat it, it will lead to other unhealthy illnesses over time.

I think 088 means trying to take his/her own life?

Sorry if i got that wrong.

I hope its all better now/getting better now 088!

[Alkaz]

[BobX]

Well firstly, congratulations for changing your life around I hope that now it can only get better, and stop worrying about the past! Atleast you have no scars, unlike my maths teacher, but her life is back on track and going great and i'm sure yours will too
