Depression Understood Forums

Hi my name is Dave and I'm "NO LONGER" an alcoholic. I spent years in such places having done about 6 different rehabs as well. I found most of the administration very dogmatic/religious and always leading people more to reliance rather than independence. ( But hey man ... some people love...

I don't really know much about poetry and or writing to be honest. I have had a bit of a squiz here and there about the internet. I have been on a lot of forums and attempted some blogs, so in that regard I may have learned a little about expression. I am just saying so, as I think its just as impor...

I assure you Silence85, that the advice I have given you is one that I have taken action to do. There is nothing right or wrong about the things we read or see, except what they mean to us individually. It takes "great" effort in moving one step, when feeling so down. Never question your i...

Hi, Sounds like good advice. I know it works. Keeping the body moving throughout the day is essential for the brain. I spend a lot of time on my computer ... but since getting up and doing a few chores here and there, I have been feeling a little better. Also as hard as it is to do, I have been maki...

My Mind, the Leaf: Under a cast shadow here I sit, unable to process my way. I plod from one day to the next, unaware of neither date nor time. Information comes rapidly, but nothing sticks. Problematic and invasive, is the noise. No room to breathe, except the line in which I stand, that brings a ...

Often the pursuit of happiness, leads people to feeling less. It's no surprise to me, with much of the emphasis on buying bigger, better and easier ... that we struggle to feel complete ... We are often bombarded with how much we are missing; if only we would buy this or that ... So it is that we ar...

G'day, My Name is David and I'm 44. I've been around many of the different internet self help forums and banned from most of them. I pretty much keep the same two user names, Search and Davekyn. I have nothing to hide and could care less what people may think ... whence bearing my soul. I am what I ...

Hey guys ... can I play too? I am 44 but feel 90.

Best of luck.

Dave.

Very touchy subject for some. Depends on the meds and the person. Also depends on how long you take them for. Often medications such as anti depressants require 4 to 6 weeks before you can truly evaluate them. Becoming reliant on them can also be debilitating in itself. Some side affects will not go...

Sounds Tough zars: I hope you have some kind of welfare system you can fall back on? Keeping in shape can sure be hard when even looking trim is not enough for most these days. :roll: As long as your able to get about ... that's a good thing ... usually means we can walk and keep moving forward. I a...

Not easy feeling that way! Being at University is an amazing accomplishment; remind yourself of that. Seems like everyone these days is out to do better than the next person, which often leads one feeling unfulfilled for fear of not meeting the expectations of both themselves and others. Everybody e...

That really sucks on both fronts. Hope your able to try again when your feeling better. Regarding the antidepressants. Some people can be very reactive to those whom question their use, however only the individual can discern what works for them. Whilst it can take quite some time and a number diffe...
