depression help a friend

I hate benzos but took them and now PURE depression. I would really like it to have a fellow Christian addict who has some time to share a few private messages with me. I've been unemployed on and off for two years, I've got two teenage kids and a wonderful wife. I have to find another job but I just don't know if I have the courage to do it yet again. Please help.

Going to the right physician diagnose and proper prescription can lift that dark, hopeless cloud that depression brings. I also recommend a counselor to help him sort out the cause of his depression. Make sure he is getting the proper treatment that he needs and I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers....

Here on this depression site there are people who are hear to talk to. We understand how you feel. When I joined I was really low, but I found I had a lot of people to "talk" to here, who understood how I felt. Please keep in touch, and let us know how we can help. We will listen, I promise.

m trying to taper down or quit CT. Its so hard... I learned from a friend that Tramadol would help me to not WD when I ran out of pills and couldn't get more for a few days..... I just need someone to talk to that is going through the same thing.

You know what else I found that helps me. Lots of light. It's so gloomy in the winter. I didn't want to turn a light on when I was in my depression. It was like I didn't want anyone to see me but when I finally did turn a light on, it lifted my spirits. Not a miracle cure by any means but every little bit helps. Turn on the lights!!!!

I may not spell all that great but my heart went into this note as I do not write to my family let alone strangers so if you need a friend send me a message take care and keep your chin up it makes smiling easier......

i feel almost exactly the same way as you described -i kind of feel stupid when i do ask somebody to do something and they turn me down, its wierd i have never had a problem in the girl department, but never really felt i had any actual friends-male or female. getting a girl is not the same as getting a friend. it is much harder.

I really need help with a friend of mine who's depressed. If anyone has any advice, I'd be very appreciative. Here's the story below. Thank you so much. -Daniel A friend of mine who I've known for ten years is battling depression. Early last year, her husband cheated on her twice and got abusive with her on at least one occasion that I know of. I've tried asking her about it, but every time I do, she gets angry at me and tells me that she doesn't want to talk about it.

I have this friend who is depressed really bad. They have had a really hard childhood and only have one parent currently. They feel useless and bad all the time. They are always depressed no matter what. They have tryed talking to their mom about it but she never listens. My friend feels like no one pays attention anymore and does not care at all. I have tryed to help her so much. She always just gets sad and starrts crying. I feel really bad about this and I want to get her help. What can I do.

m worried about my friend and was wondering if someone could help me. My friend is married to a man who has never been officially diagnosed with bipolar but everyone thinks he is. He even took an online test once that showed he was high risk. This was years ago. However, he has been taking something for depression and PTSD. In the past when he's tried to get off the meds, you could see a change in him. He did this once when he was on a health kick and it wasn't a nice change.

Anything to get you out of the house for some fresh air and get your blood pumping will help release the Happy chemicals. Try taking a walk or even a hobby. You could try even starting a scrapbook for baby! Anything positive helps! My bestfriend is actually on her way over to drag me out of bed to go walk and have lunch as we speak! Keep your head up and stay positive and active. Hope this helps!

t diagnose on here as we are not doctors so maybe suggest to your friend and maybe even go with your friend to see a psychologist and psychiatrist to get a proper diagnosis. If is Bipolar its really important they get help and treated, as it can really mess with a persons life if not treated. But to be honest it could be anything including depression, anxiety or even Borderline PD so please encourage your friend to see a doc. Let us know how you and your friend goes.

How is that diagnosed? I need to go hit a meeting. I will be back in a couple of hours. I appreciate your help Vicki and Scared.

see about getting your friend to a school counselor so they can let her parents know how serious this is. sometimes another adult can impress upon the parents of the seriousness of suicide and the need for help and therapy. you are a good friend. Let me know what happens ok? I am keeping you and your friend in my prayers.

ve tried to stand up for myself or even be open to being better understood, I find myself dealing with a volatile, insulting, threatening personality. I deal with a lot of self doubt with the combination of adrenal exhaustion and depression, so it's been easy to make me question myself or guilt me. I'm afraid of my anger so I never really let go and stand up for myself. If there's someone that relates somewhat could you please respond?

i am suffering from lack of sleep for the last for years, due to heavy anxiety and depression. i hardly sleep for 2 hours a day. and as a result there is a balck patch in my forehead now,my parents think its some kind of a skin problem but i know its a sign of chronic depression.

before I was put on anti depressants I mostly had hypnomania but my disorder has progressed over the years especially since I was put on antidepressants without a mood stabilizer. . evan a mild case im sure most people can relate to. The problems u suffer im sure all of us can relate. we go through hypnomania before mania. I also rapid cycle but im mostly manic though.

I think your friends are really good to be worried about you. Good friends! Be a good friend back and talk to someone that can offer you support (teacher, counselor, dr., etc...). You have your whole life to do amazing things and you will! If you find out what is going on within yourself you may help others someday to help find their way also. This is your time to start to shine and become your own person and change the world. Shine bright!

I'm looking for someone to chat with and exchange stories and what not. I'm due Feb 26th but will be having a c-section scheduled the week before. I'm 28 and this is my third and likely last child. I have two boys, and pregnant with a girl. I live in the US (in the Midwest) if anyone has anything in common and is looking for a pregnancy friend comment or send me a message :) I don't have any friends who are at the same stage in their lives so it makes it hard to relate.

These things, along with some recent boy and friend trouble have manifesed themselves into what I deem as depression. A friend has also suspected me to have BPD. I know they say never to self-diagnose and I know that these internet tests mean nothing, but bear with me here. Just trying to figure out what's up with me.

A friend of my sees a therapist, a different therapist than my own, My friend's therapist had her fill out a form rating her feelings such as sadness, fatigue, other symptoms of depression. My friend said to her therapist that she was worried about me. I currently see my own therapist and doctor. Her therapist also gave another one of those forms to give to me. I did fill it out but now don't know whether to ignore it or ask my doctor and therapist if they want it.

I fight both anxiety and depression. I'm either really high or really low. I start sessions with a psychiatrist on May 14th. When I go through these "flare ups" I worry about anything and everything. I worry about worrying even. When I'm even keeled I'm super confident and worries just pour off me like water. Lately I have had a hard time kicking both the anxiety and depression. I have been on 30mg Citalopram for three years.
