you ok?
It happened to me mate and still hangs around me like a dark cloud or a mate that likes to make me feel poo … if you actually feel like your suffering from depression i suggest going to see your g.p … in my opinion think twice before taking most of the stuff theyll stick you on … primarily prozac (theyll use the proper name in the surgery it begins with an ‘f’ … so keep sharp) but it needs seeing to, dont feel like youve got to be alone in it all …
also … will youngs brother has just set up a charity called ‘mood’ … check it out … free advice and stuff its proper bo!
pm if ya need a chat kid 😀
prozac = fluoxetine
Over the past 2 years iv been placed on 5 different medications, 3 of them either made me highly aggressive (something that is not me what so ever) or start halucinating (achall conversations with people who were not there so im told). The rest didnt do anything other than make me feel like i didnt know who i was anymore (other than induce slight shakeing which ahsnot left). I went to them for help after an over dose that left me with liver failure for several days (i did indeed turn bright ish yelloW). They havnt even botherd to give me a full diagnosis. They havnt botherd to give me any kind of therapy what so ever. Mental health can be nicely brushed under the carpet. Still at least i see someone every 4 months who can barely remember who i am who swaps over the last batch of horrible meds for the next. apparently they might give lithem a go next which should nicely rot my organs.
Oh iv sufferd from depression my whole life. And acording to all of the Doctors iv met i “probably will continue to do so”.
and iv no idea why im telling anyone this let alone a message board. fuck it
depression is personal and everyone is different
i wouldnt call what i had depression(but does what i had really need a name of a tag)…. but i worry about the future way to much for good, i had a low point about several months ago, and the only thing that got me out of it was a realisation that money is and was nothing (job, career etc) and its only experiances in life that matter, it was very hard to get my mind round this at the time as all i could think about was why my life was shit and why i was going no where, nothing has really changed (cept ive got a couple of ideas for the future) but my perspective on life has, and in the end its not whats happening in your life, its how u see it.
hope u find an outcome soon:group_hug

sorry to hear this
It’s a difficult fine line when it comes to mental health – and what is going to work for each individual it’s not as clear cut as say a broken bone
some times medicaion is all thats needed, sometimes CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) or long term psychotheraputic intervention is needed, along side medication or some people dont need medication.
it’s worth putting appropriate pressure on your mental health team if you dont think your needs are being met – and from the sounds of you post this is whats happening – do your service have an advocate to give you an additional voice?
have they looked at alternatives? as in talking therapies ? (you have to be motivated to do this though and you may not feel it is the right time)
as it’s often the case that they will do the ‘cheapest’ route to try and ‘fix the problem’ as it’s sad to say the NHS is a business now
let us know how you get on,

This forum aint like other boards mate. Im yet to meet an insensitive cunt on here. Johnny Quest comes close, but he doesn’t mean it 😉
There is a really good thread going on here (Click) .
Have a read through, even thought Its huge, there’s some really good personal accounts and good advice from people who have conquered depression and are much better for It. Myself Included In that. Sometimes I wonder If I will ever fully recover but I thank fuck for how far Ive come, and the immensely stronger person I am today. There are always bad days still, horrible days, but the good days are worth fighting for, trust me. Slowly the good days will outweigh the bad.
Dont give up pal!
Don’t feel like you’re feeling sorry for yourself if you want to spill your beans either. Its the main thought everyone has when they are depressed. They delude themselves Into think they are being weak and people will think less of them for opening up. Whereas really you ARE suffering from an Illness and people (especially on here) will understand and would love to help.

Too much stress can be the cause for depression. Keep smiling and reduce stress.
