Depression Understood Forums

Oh I'm so glad to hear from you! I'll admit I got a little worried because ...well I got a little bit of anxiety. So to answer a few things and also ask... and I'll repeat my, important,  questions at the end... I find it sometimes helps people to prioritize and keep things ordered. Have you heard o...

So let me start by saying, I don't believe there is a 'cure' to depression. I do believe that some people are meant to have depression (or a form of it) and I believe; even if you get rid of/fix the problem causing it...you'll still be dealing with it because...you can't teach an old dog new tricks....

What if...9 I want to advocate for the functional They are quite often misunderstood. They are considered abrupt and rude, selfish and unfeeling. Functional depression is different than emotional. They are not the type to lay in bed crying and weeping under a blanket. No, they live in a world where ...

Hey, so I read the message that I sent to you just now and I realized that, I was what I call, to functional, with my words. Meaning my opening line was straight and, to the point, nothing soft or, pretty to make the sentence feel better. Problem is the way the sentence reads, it makes it sound like...

So one example of my theory is (sigh) one of my own problems. ( I sigh because I dislike using my own stuff...its embarrassing) Anyfoo, it's food! ...that's expired. So my father and I are rearranging things, so eventually we can remodel the house. For many years, I have been what is called (sigh......

So it sounds like you weren't depressed when you made the decision, it sounds more like you were just accepting...is that true? I am super excited to hear your answer on this by the way!! But I can't tell you anymore than that until I hear back from you simply because I don't want to cause you to ha...

Functionalizing is good, it means you're moving, doing and thinking, correctly. Over functionalizing...well it's kind of like over thinking it... and oftentimes when we overthink something, it ends up bad ...right? Over functionalizing causes us to think backwards, work backwards. ( this next exampl...

Incoherent coded babbling (Shh, it's a secret) Don't just tell me it's raining ...tell me why it's raining don't just tell me I'm sick... tell me why I'm sick. Why brain fog? Why do you know how to operate the washing machine one day but, the next day you forget...? You walk up to the machine and it...

So I have been working on this mental health theory, for some years now. I have difficulty sharing it with others ...I guess it's because I'm too chicken. Actually it's not just a mental health Theory it's a different way of looking at our brain and how it's actually working. For example I believe o...

No, that is not appropriate behavior. It's time to seek marriage counseling or, divorce. You're a person and you have rights too.

I hope and pray that you found your friend.

Hi, Normally, when I'm feeling well, I can read between the lines...in a way most cannot. Today, I'm not feeling well...i guess you could say, my monster showed it's teeth last night. Anyfoo, I'm contacting you because, if I can help, then I would like to. I've been working on a mental health theory...

Hi Actually...it all makes sense to me. I understand everything you said...every word. Do you have an overwhelming sense of, why should I? For example, why should I go out with those friends...but you still do. Why should I keep going to school...but you still do. Why should I, why should I, why sho...
