Have been treated successfully with effexor until a situation occured which brought my depression back like I`ve never had it before. Yes, the unbearable lonliness and emptiness . The frequent bounts of uncontrolled crying, and the full circle of negative emotions which doom the self esteem.

Depression is an evil dissability. The guilt, shame, pain and unpredictability of it all makes it undescribable to even those that share the same illness with you because it`s not the same for anyone. Life is hard, depression adds to it…..the helplessness…the invisability…the disconnectedness. What`s the point …character development…endurance…faith is my stronghold and others….I have hope in the evenings….that maybe tomorow Jesus will come…
All I can say is join a support group and eat, sleep and move. Believe you are never alone and that goodness will prevail…never give up avoid those that make comments that trigger you, they are simply ignorant and very unsafe sick people in their own special way. Pray for others always, the world needs Love.

I was going to say it’s nice to know i’m not alone with this evil disease, but I really wish that nobody had it It steals big chunks of my life and I can’t stop it. I feel weak and helpless against it . My Dr. experiments with different meds but can’t get the right combination. Wellbutrin,Prozac,Paxil with little results. Why can’t they make one that works. I do all of the cognitive behaviour and talk to a therapist etc eetc… I’m terrified that in a weak moment a mistake could be made.

Im 19 years old, and ive been suffering depression for as long as i could remember. I tried to kill myself in the 5th grade and when it didnt work and i woke up the next morning i cried. Ive always felt so alone. I cant afford to pay my car insurance soo i know i cant afford a pyschiastrist. Im not on any medications and its only getting worst. I just feel like there’s nothing i can do any more.

& i wish i could just die.

I have been in so much pain, unexplainable, excruciating pain that doctors cant do anything about. I cannot stand, sit or lay down but for a few minutes at a time without crying and simply wanting to die several days every week. I have fibromyalgia, right kidney was removed years ago and doctors ignore the fact as if a big joke. I was on medication for the pain and then lost my family doctor last August, now no one will refill my pain prescription, at the hospital or the clinic.
I have treathened to commit suicide almost on a weekly base.
I need help before it’s to late!

I guess Jim doesn’t understand that Depression is violence turned inwards. Or maybe it scares him and thats why he hides and throws hand grenades from the anonymity of the web.

i am 48 and have suffered from depression since the age of 7. i am on meds but they only take the edge off. Talk to my psychiatrist? good luck getting one!!
to those who say stop talking about suicide and just do it, you clearly have do idea the constant pain and torment people with depression go through. we don’t want to die, we just want the pain to end. so, jim, imagine you balls in a vice that continually tightens, constant pain day and night. the vice cant be taken off. you will never be free of it and no one can take away the pain. asshole.
