Posted: 10/24/2008 4:10:30 PM | We are young OP, yes to answer your question I have too been depressed. The lack of a loving relationship when so many of my peers had one really took an emotional toll on me. I always felt left out of parties and dances at school because I never had a date to one. It was hard on me to watch my senior class having their senior dance while I was sitting at the table waiting for all of my friends and their dates to come back. I craved the love and attention of someone but he never came. Suicide is taking it a bit far. Like I said we are young, let love find us ! In the meantime, where is the next adventure? Live life a little and when you're ready love will find you

Posted: 10/24/2008 4:27:16 PM | | i agree with everything u said, i too am a single mum of 2 boys and know too well the isolation that can be felt, single mothers need support not judgement. u sacrifice so much to do right by your kids and u can easily lose yourself along the way, trying to meet someone and let them into your little family can prove to be v.harrowing! i only recently let someone back into my heart and it didnt amount to much, its easy to imagine a way out of despair and heartache at times, but one look at those faces who depend on u for everything and their sense of security in the world , ull realise its worth sticking around for! god bless u xxx | |

Posted: 10/24/2008 9:07:44 PM | Hello everyone,
I was diagnosed with Major Depression in 2002. I have had depression long before that but was never diagnosed with it. The one thing that complicates my Depression or made it difficult to diagnose is my form of Epilepsy.
The form of Epilepsy I have is called: Complex Partial Seizure Disorder. The origional Doctor that diagnosed it, described it: When the brain waves do not connect properly or missfire, I tend to get angry or depressed. That is how it affects me. I do not get the Convulsion Seizures,but there is a very slight chance it could develop into that type.
Now back to my Depression. I had depression since about 8th grade. Which was the year after I was first diagnosed and treated for my Epilepsy. The medication worked on the anger part of my Epilepsy but not the depression. So Gradually over the years the Depression built up and worsened. Yes, I did things to get myself out of those moods. Like listen to the radio. But in 2002 listening to the radio no longer worked.
Yes through the years I contemplated suicide. I even came close once. I stuck a loaded hunting rifle to my head and then in my mouth and was going to pull the trigger. But do not know what made me stop.
After getting diagnosed with Major Depression in 2002 I was put on medication for it. It helped a lot, but not enough for me to keep my job I had at the time. I tried to hold off untill my next Doctor appointment, I did not last that long. I ended up having to change my medication. That helped even better!
I still have those moments where I wish I was not alive or I was never born. But these moods do not last as long as they used to. I get a little depressed and feel very lonely when I think about not having someone to share my life with.
So I know what the Dark Hole of Depression is all about. I just hope by me writting this, it does not scare all the women away from me. | |

My son committed suicide last month, just shy of his 22nd birthday. We had tried to get him help, had known that he had contemplated doing it. . . help is harder to come by than most people would believe.
I cannot describe the emptiness that his death causes me. I feel I will never again be the same. Please, don't do this to your own mothers, brothers and sisters.
As I sit here, a month later, the tears roll freely, just as they have since that day. I imagine they'll roll on forever. | |

Posted: 11/16/2008 1:40:36 PM | I have suffered from clinical depression, but that was about 20 years ago.
I sought help and was given counselling. It took a long time but with the counselling and time i learnt to like the person i saw in the mirror.
Now i may get depressed, but i recognise the signs of full blown depression and i can cope.
I agree with the comments above, you can only really get to the bottom of this by seeking professional help-Good Luck | |

Posted: 11/16/2008 9:55:11 PM | very selfish too
So is saving money for a holiday, rather than donating it to charity. It's selfish, but it's justifiably selfish.
The ones who use guilt tactics in order to coerce their loved ones into enduring years of emotional torment, are more selfish.
How can you expect every suicidal person to make the biggest sacrifice one can possibly make? | |

Posted: 2/12/2009 10:04:43 PM | | Depression is a sickness my friend and no one should ever "self treat". I truly believe that depression is the result of unresolved issues that manifests itself physically. You're body is trying to tell you something. Something is wrong and you need help. You're brain cannot tell you in any other way except by making you feel ill. Your own thoughts are very important too. Sometimes we kill ourselves with our own self-loathing. When you've reached that stage no one can help you but yourself. You need to make the first step and hand yourself over to people who can help you. Good luck. | |

Posted: 2/13/2009 1:57:16 AM | I believe that people, human beings, we all share emotions and with this, comes experiences in life, whether they are good or bad. It could be your growing up as a child or it could be where, as we grew up, we may not have had the right circle or foundation of solid friends.
Insecurities for alot of people is not something that they wish to confront and neither do they wish to share and this can sometimes leads people into arenas or comfort zones, where they may feel a connection with someone else who is hurting. Relationships are often a balancing act and, every single person, it does not matter who we are, has the ability to become emotionally distraught. For this reason, we often hear of relationships where people will play the blame game instead of playing the wisdom and mature game.
It is a safe zone for alot of people. It's not just people, it's a society, a culture. If we take for example, the recession that we will all feel, what will people do in tough times. So there are alot of influences that impact human relations and happiness.
The most important thing that we can do as human beings, is to, say hello, and become a little more in touch with ourselves and this will transpire onto others. Fear of Fear is something we all have experienced in our lives, yet we have to learn to share feelings and show empathy and from there, this will create an environment for change.
All people really want is to be loved and accepted for who they are, and security to feel that people care, that's the secret. It starts with us and from there, hello and a smile goes a million miles and a kind heart will take you further from where you are today.
We do not have to feed people money, yet feed people with a heart, is what will bring hope and shine happiness into many people, including you.
Some people are angry and they will laugh at the above, these people are just as sad as someone else who took their life and all they need is a Hello, how are you and from there,
life will find happiness. It creates a domino effect...as sincerity and honesty is only what you hold in your heart
Be good, Be strong and Be Yourself. | |

Good for you. It's always nice to hear a person speak from their heart.
We need a little more of that, maybe you will say Hello and How are you today to someone else.
Have a nice day. | |

Posted: 2/13/2009 2:16:00 AM | Hey dude,
Thanks for sharing your own experiences. it takes courage and most of all it takes a huge heart. If women are scared off, she is not the right one for you as she too, is not in touch with herself yet either.
Life is about sharing our senses which entails communication, that's why we feel. Someone out there, read your story and said to themselves, wow, okay, there is someone else feeling like me. So, people are touched and it does help someone else when people express their feelings, it just does, it's magical.
Some day, I would like to be able to see the whole world smile at once. That's my dream.
Be strong and always communicate
