Depression Understood Forums

Hello,
Good for you!
Something you might also try; if you haven't already; is a vitamin count.
Actually, I'm not sure what it's called but; basically, they check what your vitamin levels are and; where they should be. Again, if you haven't already tried.

Good luck!

Hello, I'm not a doctor, but I like to helping So, I have been commenting on these forum things all day; and I was just about to quit; then I saw yours. I warn you, I tend to be wordy but, I'm also tired; so I will try to keep it short. I'm going to be blunt, which might be a little confusing. In my...

Hello, I'm not a doctor, but I like to help I'm kind of a weird one; I've got my own ideas about things. So, this is only my opinion. I believe, sometimes, not always; that our minds use depression, anxiety, etc.; as defense mechanisms. The brain's job is too simplify things, to protect us, and to k...

Hello, I'm not a doctor, I just like to help So, the other day, I actually wrote you a really long reply; we're talking, like back in the day, 3 pages of notebook paper, front and back. I tried to post it and my account kicked me out. We will consider it; an act of God; trying to save you from havin...

Hello, I am not a doctor, but I do like to help First, I believe that you do need help. You need a doctor, a counselor; someone that you can confide in. There may be something more going on, and they may be able to figure it out. It's tough when the people around us; especially the ones that care ab...

What if...I could hold your hand I would walk in your room. You are face down, with your head in the pillow. Your blanket covers you, only allowing small breaths. Kneeling next to you, I would search for your hand; it's hidden under the pillow. You struggle to breathe; wishing you could and, wishing...

Thank you Mr. Wood There is a lot more to it but It's something I've been working on for awhile now; just haven't been able to build the confidence to say it. Case in point, look how long it took me to reply to you; I'm still surprised that I am. I usually run and hide. I call it my theory; even tho...

Hello, I'm not a doctor but, I like to help. A few suggestions, You need money, if you haven't already; try applying for social security disability.

Ah but the high peaks have their troubles.
The air is very thin and cold, up there
And no thank you to earthquakes, it's a far pedestal to fall from

Hello I'm not a doctor, but I like to help Also, I'm not like you but, I do understand people like you. The reason you come across rude, is because you don't sugar coat things. You give people straight answers. If someone asks you; how was your day? You reply; it was good, or, it was bad. People thi...

Hello Jeffrey, I can't really say; if your life has a purpose or not. I know the popular thing is to be super positive and send you smiley face things and tell you to hang in there kid, the sun will shine tomorrow and blah blah. The truth is; one, how annoying those things are and two; nobody really...

Hello This is just a personal opinion; I'm not a doctor. I have not read the replies. Do you also have difficulty making decisions? The mind has a need to know what to expect. It also wants to make right decisions, not wrong ones; but, can you say, for a fact, you are making the right decisions? Eve...

What if... The reason your mind is telling you, that you can't do something or do not want to do something Is because, you don't need to. It's a defense mechanism that your mind is using, in order to protect you. Kind of like; you can't fail, if you never try. Your mind is trying to stick to basics;...
