Depression Society MKVI

Getting more crazy ideas about writing people goodbye letters..or should I use my old drafts?

Ah, well I already deleted it. I feel better now. The people whose opinions I give a crap about know about it anyway - all of you included, I believe.

It matters not.

Maybe I'll repost it later, when I feel calmer and less jaded. I don't know. All that matters for now is that I feel better.

That being said, I still feel a bit guilty for accidentally negging the guy that quoted me. I genuinely didn't mean to do it.

Thank you both

How is everybody this evening?

Edit: Ha - after I deleted it, someone searched for me just to neg me. I am actually quite amused.

I how do you really tell whether depression is circumstantial or chemical? Or can it even be a bit of both?

I've had bad stuff happen to me, but they're type of stuff that many people would be able to get over quite easily without getting super depressed about it, yet I seem to be super sensitive and react so badly to things, and my mind seems to get all jumbled up often . My doctor's referred me to counselling rather than having any pills, so what would that suggest?

No problem

That's funny about the revenge neg. Although, I have to admit to being guilty of it myself sometimes

Not to any old stranger, but to you... Let us know if you need help with anything at all.

Ahhhh, right, thank you.

Again - well done. I'm sure you'll make your offers. If I get my predicted grades I might ring up every med school in the UK and beg them to see if they have even one place available - there have been stories. Incredibly unlikely but it can't hurt to try!

Thanks again love. How've you been?

I can't think of anything meaningful to say, so I just wanted you to know that I was listening.

I'm here if you need to talk.

No problem

Sounds like a plan!

How have I been? ****

Yourself?



Thanks x

I think it's standard procedure to try more natural means of treatment before medication, at least that's what i see from my experiance. I think counselling is definately worth a go, because if nothing else it allows you to understand yourself a bit more, and the reasons for why you feel how you do. That in itself can give some reassurance and comfort.

Depression can be a culmination of so many things, for me it's genetic (my dad, my cousin and my nan all have it) and i think experiances from growing up can also affect it.

I actually think worrying about small things a lot and being super sensitive are normal symptoms of depression. It doesn't make sense why you feel crap or why u worry so much, but that is what depression is, a mental illness.

I've been quite **** too, thanks

You know you're on a depression thread when "I've been **** thanks, how about you?" is a fairly typical response.

Thanks for answering my question though, it's much appreciated. Mostly curiosity but it may actually prove helpful in the next cycle

I'm sorry I couldn't give you better advice. Well, any advice at all really. No need to thank me. What are friends for?

As I said though. If you need to talk, you know where I am. I promise not to disappear off the face of TSR again

we're all so cheery in here

I think I may have to have my guitar surgically attached to me, I always feel much happier holding it. Might ruin my career prospects mind.

Hi guys

I want to ask a question. This may sound a bit daft, but here goes:

Is there anyone on here that believes that they do have depression, or thinks that they may have depression, despite not having been diagnosed?

Hehehe. Or I'm just a cynical bastard, one of the two

I suppose it depends on what your career plan is. If you want to be a guitarist it might be quite beneficial, for example. Perhaps you could have it surgically unattached at a later date if necessary?

Cynicism is awesome though.

My career plan involves becoming a chemist and developing new drugs so I don't think it'd help.

T'is indeedy

Hmm. Yeah, I'd have to agree. I don't think that that would impress the big-wigs at GSK, for example. Could you cover the guitar with a cape?

Better yet, top hat, wig and false moustache and claim it's my Siamese twin.
