well, just for you here is a song i wrote about depression/having a shit (it works both ways) its a waltz too (3/4). the thought of ballroom dancers dancing to a song about turd makes me chuckle.
Dont let the tension get to you open up and push it on through this time is different, this times' wrong i need to find a way to carry on ive had a ... sinking feeling since i heard that you.... you were leaving searching i .... search for meaning and maybe its gonna faaaade push it all out, push away dont let them taint your yesterday memories and dreams unlended overgrown distaste expended. |

Just trying to help & pass on things that have kept me together, because I, like alot of people have been in some dark places - some of it my fault & some of it not, so i always find the best advice from people is your truths, feelings & how you found the light to get yourself out of there! Its a good life if you choose to find it  |

No, i get the vibe you're a decent guy. Its a very serious thing depression, the power of the mind to rule the perception of the substance. it grips and holds. but it also isnt real, not that that really helps, i know that certainly for me, the knowledge that there is no reason for it certainly didnt help, if anything it made it worse. People have already come forward with some very sound advice and help that does make a difference, but sometimes stupid humour helps too. life is ridiculous. |

No I'm not trying to be offensive, far from it. OK - you funny verse was meant as relief not mockery. My mistake. You are undoubtedly right, however, humour is a very great benefit and essential to sanity. Thankfully I can still laugh, but something is wrong between the ears, no doubt. |

I'm not sure whether it was pure depression or not but about 5 years ago, I was in a relationship and it was imploding. I knew deep down what was going on but I didn't want to believe it. What I started feeling was without doubt the worst feeling I've had in my life. I couldn't eat anything, I barely slept a wink all night and I didn't give a shit about my appearance or anything else on this Earth. I lost nearly half a stone in weight, I was pale and exhausted. Everything seemed so dark around me, my head was all over the shop. This went on for about a week, then I finally did what I had to do. I ended my relationship and the feeling of weight coming off my shoulders was one of pure relief. I still had my down days, I cried everyday for a month after it but slowly I started to get better and now looking back on it....best decision I ever made!

There's a difference between simple sadness and depression. Even profoundly dark moods may only be what is now referred to as situational depression - for example, if you lose your wife/girlfriend/brother/mom/dad/whichever in a plane crash, you're going to be upset, and you're going to grieve. Doesn't mean you need therapy, doesn't mean you need drugs. Quite possible that neither of them will do you any good, and the feelings will pass, in time.
But if the symptoms of your depression (which take many forms) last for a longer period of time, you may in fact be clinically depressed. And if you realize one day that you've been struggling with unbearably black moods off and on for about 15 years or so, it's probably time you got treatment for your big fat fuck-off depression. If you do end up believing that you need drugs, ask your doctor if he thinks you might respond well to Wellbutrin (Bupropion). It is an atypical antidepressant in the way that it affects brain chemisty (norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor), and perhaps because of this, it is the only common antidepressant that doesn't cause everyone's most dreaded side effect - impotence or other sexual dysfunction. Actually it is often used to treat some kinds of sexual dysfunction, including those brought on from taking SSRI antidepressants. Also it doesn't cause weight gain, unlike nearly every other antidepressant. So if you do respond well to it, when Ronaldo scores a hat trick against Liverpool at Old Trafford next spring, and it's cock out time, you will not have the dual disappointment of knowing that said cock is unlikely to become firm any time soon, and that if it did, you would be unable to see it because you've become so fecking fat. Both of which are known to cause depression by the way. |

 Did something similar 2 years next month ago. Reason how I remember is because it was close to my Birthday - fuckin most harrowing pain i've ever had but i knew what i was doing & i was prepared for heartache! Was being treated poorly by my girl. I took her away to Arran Islands in Galway for a surprise romantic weekend for her birthday using money my father had in his account after he died - i wanted to put anything I got off him to good use as he wasnt much of a man nevermind a father. So what did she do for my birthday - not very much. She didnt plan anything, apart from the weekend before as it was her cousins b'day, so she couldnt take anymore time off for mine. She then suggested going for dinner & would book a table on my b'day - only one problem - after 5 years she still got my birthday wrong (but never anyone elses) & booked it for the day after. "Sure that will do eh..." says she.... "no it fucking wont.." says me. Thoughtless bitch!! I've stayed clear of relationships since then, couldnt put myself through that again. Loss in any shape or form, is very depressing & is a major symptom of depression. I put so much in & alot of the time had got fuck all back, so I was better off on my own. Its quite depressing having that feeling of "not-as-important" - it eats you up inside & luckily i'm able to conquer this feeling anytime it appears! 5 years ended in a split second on the phone - i went into a dark area for a few weeks but i knew i had to confront my feelings & they were painful, but i knew if i didnt confront these negatives then I wouldnt heal myself & I would live with uncertainty instead of being in control of my life! Glady - i've just met a lovely girl now and i'm very positive about the future with her. I didnt think i'd say that anytime soon. It scared me to get back into a loving relationship incase I couldnt make it work or maybe i'd hurt her unintentionally - but thats aload of bollox - I know I can look after her & thats what I aim to do - with the good grace of God! This has been a fucking weird day to put it mildly. Very emotionally charged topics. You lot have got me talking absolute bollox all day. Jesus, if my mates knew this Red Hand Devil chap is me - i'd be laughed out of Dublin  Its very good for follk to talk about things that they would normally keep to themselves though, especially blokes!!All you need is love...... love is all you need....... (and a fat bag of weed, great sex, money for beers and an All-Ireland in the bag C'MON....) |

I was depressed when I moved to a new country as a teen. I was given Prozac, but I can't say if it helped or not. I think time is the main thing, you'll surprise yourself with how much you can get used to if given time. I would also suggest not spending too much time alone in your room on a computer - go for some long walks with some good music in your ears, get outside and exercise.

I was kinda seeing a girl from around the Lower Ormeau Rd. Its mixed round there & I really got a nice vibe of the place, alot of sound blokes that frequent the pubs round there, i'm sure one of those fine gentlemen would take a fancy to you or maybe bring your cute self down to Dublin & get yourself a nice Southern man?! Actually Sammy Mc would suit you down to the ground - he's a bittuva charmer Fuck depression thats what i say - get someone to tickle you under the arms the next time you feel a little down |
