We've been through this. You're young and won't listen. I know.

It took like 8 really really bad things happening in my life before I started to listen.

Good luck kiddo.

You know what was awesome my mom calling me last night to say happy birthday and then telling me that I am an asshole for not calling her or making an effort to see her even though she moved away for like 3 years never told me. The rare occasion I did see her she would make me feel guilty and like a piece of shit...

 

Just another scoop of shit for my hell week sundae...

Na it was like rags and shit, over some kind of dead something, in the shape of a body. After ten minutes of painting it just got annoying, so we poked at it with a stick and shit.

 

Word, that's good, the whole dead child on the tracks thing was really bothering me for a bit.

 

I was gunna call you back and come meet up with you guys, but then I realized I had a lot of drinking and waiting for C to get home to do, you know how time consuming that can be haha

Everyone goes through their ups and downs.. fuck I do all the time...

 

The past 2 years of my life have been fucked. I lost quite a few people that where really close to me.... and since the first person i lost in my life, everything just kept on following and following... nothing better was around the corner...And just the other week it happened AGAIN! Some of this is death and others have just vanished from my life.

 

, My Pop gave me a 2 pills called Zoloft, as he new i was down in the dumps, i didnt want to take yhem but i was in a state like whatever, i took the thing and i felt fucking weird for like 3 days.. was a total head fuck...... i will never take pills like that shit again.

 

Before medication i suggest you do what the others are saying

 

..Set your self some goals

Get out of the house and do things

Get up early and go and do something physical, like run skate ride etc

 

 

I did this and just getting up in the morning and going for a skate made me feel Alive!

I flee okay as long as I'm doig shit...like when I'm with my boys, or hanging out with other girls I suaully feel good, don't thibnk about shit

 

It's nights like this where I'm home alone that I started really dwelling on this shit and stressing othe fuck out, and I start having uextremyl unhelathy thoughts

 

 

this is how it is with the majority of people who experience any kind of depression. the trick to it is to constantly keep yourself occupied in some way. whether it be seeing your friends more, dating, painting more, picking up other hobbies etc. a good trick will be, as everyone says, stop drinking. i'm in the same position as you are my dude, and i use to just pop whatever and drink myself until i passed out. i stopped about a month ago, and although shit is still rough, i find myself much more eager to try new things that could make me happy, and much more motivated.

 

depression is a part of life. i never understood why doctors were so quick to prescribe drugs to cure someone who is too sad/depressed, while people who are excessively happy, excessively cheerful, etc, are 'fine."

 

they will, and i've experienced this, make you into a zombie of some sorts. often taking antidepressants welcomes bipolar feeling/action. they will make you feel as great as you can, but once the drugs begin to dissipate from your system, you will sharply "crash" and become depressed as hell. basically, the only way to truely conquer depression is to keep occupied, search for more things to make you happy, attempt to comprehend your problems fully and realize what causes them and what can help you recover, and most of all, just remember that everything you go through, no matter how shitty, happens for a reason and it does in fact make you stronger.

adderall won't help with depression, it's a drug they give kids with ADD. it's the new ritilin amongst high schoolers. adderall will just allow you enough time to focus and clean your house, or something.

 

darvoset is a muscle relaxer, and this won't help with depression at all. i'm not sure if doing pain killers is such a good idea if you are seriously depressed.

 

ayebee --if this shit has been going on for years, have you thought about seeing a specialist? you may be bi-polar or suffer from manic depression. it could also be a chemical imbalance, and you could find some alternative ways to level that out --that don't include fucked up meds.

 

also, try taking st. john's wort. it could be something that you could start taking for a few months to experiment with. if it doesn't work, at least it's not some polysynthetic pharmacutical con, that will just get you hooked.

I only read the very beginning/end of this thread but it's of interest as it's the field I've chosen to be in (more the therapy side, I leave the meds to the docs). Based on what I read, I would consider a few things.

 

1st, you have to be at your 'baseline,' basically your normal mood. As long as you continue to alter your mood with drugs/alcohol this can not happen, and since alcohol and weed are depressants you're actually keeping yourself in a rut. I would guess that you would need around 30 days just to get back to 'normal' including your sleep patterns. You'll probably still feel shitty, but probably not as bad as when you're getting fucked up. You're relying on drugs to fix your mood now and as long as you continue that pattern that's what you will turn to and rely on as a fixer. Until you quit there is no point for you to take meds as you are already altering your mood, plus you risk possible harmful interactions with meds.

 

2nd, depression involves many things, including your thought process and physical actions. Depressed people tend to take a pessimistic approach and you need to find the positive in things, identify your basic strengths, and develop an ideal of what you would be like if you were not depressed. Physically, when people are depressed they become lethargic and apathetic. Finding some sort of regular activity that you like will help your mood. There's research that says that physical activity such as exercise helps elevate the mood of depressed people.

 

3rd, as someone mentioned, you could be bipolar or have some sort of chemical imbalance. There are some people who really do need some help from meds to function.

 

4th, if this has been going on long-term, short of quitting drugs I would strongly advise you go to a therapist, at least for an initial consultation. You can always choose not to return if you feel it's bullshit and you'll have only used an hour of your time vs. however long you've felt like shit. You should also consider that other events, like past trauma, can cause depression, and no amount of meds is going to resolve that trauma like therapy or dealing with it.

 

These are just my quick thoughts, they're easy to say or put out quickly but really the best thing is quit the drugs for at least a while and see how you feel, and consult with a professional.

that's hilarious, therapy from someone named after a serial killer who was an insane clown.

 

it's all good advice though, and should be taken very seriously. a few of us have been trying to tell you this shit aye, but then you just come back with, "well, i'm sober now, and going to go get fucked up with my boys tomorrow night, then get this chick the next night, then go to florida, so i should be fine." you won't be fine, you need to take some serious steps to fix your problem, and those steps you mentioned won't do it. you're young, start now.
