Maybe its because I always seem to be all bubbly and optimistic I dont notice how others around me are acting. To me, I had always thought depressed people were suicidal and never had a good thing to say. Thats just a stereotype, because I never knew any of you were depressed, and to tell you the truth, I never would have guessed by the way you talk on the boards. Ahh.. anyways.. hope that didnt come out mean or anything, I was just stating what I had observed.

I didn't either, Crystal. I thought I was the only one. I'd go to school and watch all these people who were always happy and extroverted and I thought I was crazy.

I stopped taking it one day because I ran out and it made me sick/dizzy. Maybe we're in the same boat.

I wanna know why that stuff is so damn expensive!

That was put together very nicely.

Thank you.

I think I'm going to become a child psychologist so I can help people.

Ugh, geez. Ok, my shrink-lady whatever the hell you wanna call her prescribed me with the harshest kind of meds... so, if you skip a day you feel HORRIBLE. Mentally and physically.... well, the first day I skipped it... I threw up, my back felt like it was going to break, slept the whole day and had a temper smaller than an ant.... locked myself in my room and cried the whole entire day. (no I did not have my period)... it was so bad. I've been off for 5 days.... imagine me now. Its so bad.

Im so sorry you're having such a rough time with your dad and I hope things get better for you.

I kind of know where you're coming from because I had depression a few years ago, i also have a thing called cyclothyroidism which sometimes makes me more prone to that kind of depression/anxiety stuff. But Im a lot better now.
During one of those bad times my dad would sometimes say stuff that would get me really upset, I realize now that a lot of the time he didnt mean to be like that or I took it totally the wrong way. Same with my mother- our personalities clash a lot of the time and she'd say things that she didnt mean as being what I took them as and I'd cry over that for days on end. Remember that your dad probably doesnt mean to be hurting you like he is.

That's good. You'd have a better chance of knowing where they're coming from.

OMG! My mom told me how much it was without medical insurance.... she told me and was like, "And you better take them everyday and they sure as hell must make you feel better cuz this is good money here...." she made me feel guilty actually.... now, *shrugs* I dont care. I'm not paying for em.

I have depression too. I'm taking prozac and clonazepam for it. I have to go see a psychiatrist soon, I hate it. They make you talk about things you don't want to.

That's what I really need to do. I used to be depressed just about everyday of my life. Things kind of got a bit better around my sophomore year. I'd have my 'happy' days and then I'd have my days where I just felt like locking myself in my room and just staring at the wall.

My problem is I don't talk about my problems. I feel uncomfortable talking about my problems to my parents and I talk very little about my problems with my friends. I push everything into a bottle, basically. I never let go of that bottle. I'll never open that bottle until I'm alone. When I open that bottle, I can cry freely and I know I'll never have to explain my actions to anybody else.

When my grandpa died in 1995, I didn't show any emotion at the funeral. I waited until I was by myself to cry about it. His death was confusing to me- considering I was 10 or 11 at the time. My grandfather seemed like he was in a happy mood all the time. I never could grasp why he died the way he did. Was he just like me? Did he put on a smiley face for everybody else, but crash and burn on the inside?

I told my mom that I need some depression medicine and she just told me that I had to drag myself out of that mood. I can drag myself out- sometimes. It just seems like when I see the light, I fall back into the hole. I crawl back up to the light and I fall again.

Ive never been truly depressed, but every once in a while I slip into those poor me, sulk stages for about a day. The only thing I would like to see a councilor for, is helping me what to decide what to do with my life!! I have NO modivation, NO desire whatsoever to go to college, and I still dont know what the hell I truly want to do with my life-- and constantly getting asked "What school you going to?" pisses me off to no end. I never truly say all that I want to say to friends, and I dont open up to my family- Im a quiet person, I keep to myself. No one knows how I TRULY feel about things, because I dont open up. Ugh, I also have THE lowest self confidence and am always worried about what people are thinking about me. o0o.. Im also extremly paraniod. Im always tense. Also, when we go to restaurants, I have to sit on the certain side of the booth where Im facing the other people.. I cant have my back against everyone- it makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. In school, I had to have the end row-- nothing the the middle. It made me feel lost and the center of attention. I have no idea if there is any medication for paranoia.. Im sure there is.

That's me...girl with no insurance. $88.

Oh well, mom and dad would rather pay for them than have me refuse to go to school.

Its never easy talking to anyone that you feel close to cuz you fear about how they will judge you after they know all the facts... my relationship with one of my very close friends drastically changed from where it was at last year once she found out all about "me".

Ugh yes..... I get those so often... but for me, its more like a "high" 10 mins and a "low" hour or so.... *sighs* Life is screwed...

That sounds like my dad. There is no crawling out of that hole. Sometimes you just can't do it alone.
