I have long term depression dysthymia and then major depression sometimes. It REALLY makes life challenging.
Depression is a very real disease, but it can be overcome or managed. After many years, I sought help from my doctor and my depression is managed now with drugs and life management. Therapy did not seem to help me very much.
I would encourage you to do a few things, not in any particular order of importance; (I tend to be a bit scatter-brained.)
#1 Exercise regularly – The body’s natural endorphin production can help to counter-act some of the depressive moods.
My fiancé recently broke off our relationship she suffers from depression and in November had work issues and was signed off then returned part time.
I'm 14 and I've been diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression for about a year. I've self harmed twice successfully and the past year has been a nightmare. I recently had a relationship with a guy and had a very messy breakup last month. I know I probably sound extremely immature and stupid, but just hear me out. I was doing really bad at the time.
Has anyone ever taken Tofranil PM or Anafranil for anxiety / panic and it worked my dr just told me start lowering my dose of prozac since its not doing anything and when i see her in 2 weeks we are going to discuss other options and other classes of meds like TCA 's SNRI's ect since SSRI's arent doing anything. I was on Tofranil before for post partum depression and anxiety panic and it worked great.
Anybody have any methods to cope with being severely depressed? Im only 27 weeks and couldn't be more miserable. i was diagnosed with severe depression years ago, and within the last two years i went through a terrible breakup, my parents got divorced, i moved three times, my father died of cancer and then i got pregnant. so i should really be on anti depressents, but that's too much of a risk when pregnant.
First, are you a bisexual girl? Or a bisexual guy? Your profile says female, but you say above you had a relationship with a girl and then a guy. I only ask because if your sexuality is different than the norm, is that a problem that hasn't been dealt with? Or is there a typo in there somewhere.
She had a bad breakup and she was worried about her studies, so she took a blank prescription from her aunt, wrote herself the pills and faked a sign. she's not telling me the name of the pills because she's worried i'll do a big research and get worried about the side effects. i already am. i'll try to ask her again. no she hasn't been diagnosed with depression. she hasn't been to a doctor because, yes, she's scared. what worries me is its been almost 8 months.
Is anyone going thru a breakup while pregnant? This is horrible and I need sum advice on how to get thru this..
Breakups are never easy. He's made his choice and is acting pretty immature. Keep yourself busy with school, work, or any other activity. Join a sport or club and enjoy time with friends. Something to keep your mind occupied.
I did protected sex with a high risk indian sex worker. I came to know before that she was hiv positive.. I never did this before.. I was in depression due to my breakup. So i went there. I had rashes on my inner thigh and cuts on testicals when i had sex with that sex worker. I used 2 condoms. And no oral sex was there. The same day i went to the doctor he took an hiv test which was negative and told me to wait at least 3 months.. Doctor i love my girlfriend very much and did a silly mistake..
Depression is indeed a major cause (and consequence) of ED. Depression causes ED and ED causes depression. Erections start in the brain and if the brain isn't working properly, sexual problems may occur.
To make matters worse, most antidepressants (e.g. SSRIs) can actually cause or aggravate sexual dysfunction.
If you do get back together it is best you educate yourself about depression. It is definitely NO easy road for the person with depression nor for the loved ones.
Hang in there..........things will get better eventually.
I did a bit of counsiling but in my instance, it did no good. I took depression meds and that did help me. A break up can feel like the end of the world but believe me when I say it isn't. Do you read? If you do, there is a book out there called How to Get Over a Broken Heart. It gives you things to think about. When you think about your friend you have to focus on the negative, not the positive. The bad times, not the good times. It worked for me.
I am a 26 yo male, I few months ago I had a terrible break up with my ex girl-friend. The break up trigerred my depression and I became severly depressed. During that time I also got so violent and would randomly break house objects, slam doors etc. I used to have suicidal thoughts and would talk about suicide often to my parents. At the same time I was going to weekly therapy sessions with a psychiatrist. I was under the medication Olanzapine.
