And there is a flip side to most of that, the only kind of depression i accept from anyone i know, is the kind where they cant move on due to a death or some gooseberry fool, yeah lifes cruel and careless, Why stop and feel down about it? its not like you are gonna be here much longer.... strawberry floating Emos.

Its serious stuff. Depression is set to become the number one condition as far as impact on nhs resources in the next ten years.

AS MCN will tell you. waiting times are pish for therapy/ psychological input.

They the one's who were obsessed with guns?

Don't worry Ian, I won't be more specific than that.

I just tried to reply to St Dick and it sent a PM. FFS

Anyway, FAO: St Dick:
1st year is best, m8. Maximum opportunity to piss about, and enjoy the overall uni experience. I'm hoping for more of the same in 2nd tbh.

Good luck with your course.

Thanks Proto.

But yeah, on topic, I know a couple of people who have had depression, and went onto meds. I think they pretty much regret it now saying that the meds strawberry float you up a bit more. Can anyone back that up?

I've been feeling depressed for long time, there's really nothing positive in my or about my life.

I would like to add my own lulz to this.

I've suffered from severe depression for a few years and are now on anti-depressents. Some days I want to kill myself, other days I want to kill my friends, other days I can't get out of bed.

The meds really do help, although miss a week of them and you'll never find the energy to get them from the doctors.

Killing your friends is not really depression, its insanity, I always dream of aquiring an AK47 and entering the Bullring in Brum and unloading a few hundred rounds on christmas eve.... One can dream.

That does help a little.

You've been lucky enough to interact with me, even if it is only over an internet forum. That alone should add at least a few more years onto the worthwhile-ness of anyone's life!

And I'm back down again.

This thread is good.

A close friend of mine told me about her depression she had a few years back, a few months ago, and it really strawberry floated me up thinking that she had self-harmed and seriously considered suicide several times. Really strawberry floated me up, especially thinking that she worked on the front desk of my office complex at the time (I met her at work, as she later changed to work in my office, even before I started), so if she had of gone through with suicide I probably would have just been told by someone at work that "oh, the girl on reception killed herself a few years back. She was always miserable" and never would have met her.

I've never been properly depressed, nevermind diagnosed with it, but I've had my low points, like anyone, and when I do I just try to keep myself busy with my close mates. That's what they're there for anyway.
