Quiz Town discussion

My own siblings don't like me. They try to avoid me and ignore me as much as they can. I only have about three friends, other than that I'm a loner.

I already have several therapists and am on meds. They still haven't helped whatsoever.

Try to see the bright sides of things, even when the situations are as horrible as they can get and then some. I don't know what to say... I really want to help but I can't figure out how.

They will help. Be patient. How long have you been on the meds? Hope you are taking them regularly. Meds take time to clear the physical problem in your brain, which is the reason for the clinical depression. Often it depends on how long this has been undetected and the depth of the illness. So be patient. Try writing down your thoughts, no matter how morbid they are. It acts as a catharsis and will help you. Read books that are happy or funny, these also help. Try and distract yourself with some activity. Make sure that you are surrounded by people; either at home or virtually. Talking to others helps, especially if you start taking an interest in their lives. I don't know where you are from but meditation is another excellent aid for clinical depression. Try that if you are okay with its practice. Get into some sort of a physical regime to bring out the happy cells in the body.

I have done all this and am recovering at present. So don't take this lightly. I can tell you that things will improve. Just be patient and keep trying.

Then don't. I might eventually find a solution to my problem, even if it is suicide. I'll do this on my own, and it might all work out, or it might not.

I've been on the meds for about a year and a half, and the depression has been from since I was a kid. I do read tons of books. Too many books, in fact. I'm constantly reading, to distract me from my own thoughts.

Suicide isn't a solution :( it's running away from the problem

Be patient Mantha. I know it is the most difficult thing to do at present. Patience is something that we who suffer from clinical depression do not have. However, i would still urge you to be patient. It has been with you for a long time and you have been actively treating it only for a year and a half. Give it time, give the medicines time to react and correct the situation. If you strongly feel that they are not working, talk to your doctor and change the medications. I am sure your doctor will do that and help you. Just continue with the treatment and it will help.

And every time you feel like committing suicide, write about it and maybe show it to your therapists, if you are okay with it. They will be able to help you better. Trust me, I know what you are going through -Been there, done that and bought the t-shirt, so to speak! Don't lose hope and don't stop the treatment.

If there's nobody there, the problem doesn't even exist. Please, stop trying to tell me what I should and shouldn't do or what I should and shouldn't think. It's not going to stray me from my own viewpoints.

Have you ever wondered why you were a depressed kid ? What was the trigger ? I am not going to give you wisdom words because I know it aggravate your feelings even more. Reading never helps because we tend to pick books based on our mood. Mostly we prefer sadistic books. I know someone with a depression worse than yours . she used to or still sometime self inflict pain... But now she is lesser in depression day by day. How ? She took up things that helps. Writing helps big time as well as painting and gardening. This is your life you are the only one who can decide what to do with it.... And friends or no...every one a loner in a way or another. If your siblings ignore you then shrug it off... You should have self worth first then others will start seeing you .....

I'm not promoting someone but if you're depressed or hate yourself or have suicidal thoughts sometimes (which I think is normal under the circumstances anyone is having), they should watch IISuperwomanII's video Draw my Life, where she tells her story of depression and how she came out of it. It's really motivating and it fills you with great positiveness. She's not forcing you to do something like her (and neither am I). Just watch her video if you want to smile :).

I LOVE HER!!!! She's amazing

I confess that…I'm very scared of the dark!!

That's nothing unusual, Nia. I know many people who feel the same. But is there any particular reason behind your fear?
Or is it just a general thing?

Well I'm afraid of the creepy creepers of the dark. I am afraid of Bloody Mary and Paranormal Actuvity in the dark

Effect of reading too much fiction, eh? :P

Kinda lol

Hehe, I'd like to say what my teacher said to me and it kind of worked for me.
Don't back away from the thing you fear, rather try to conquer it. Explore it, initially you'll be scared but you need to be familiar with the thing you fear. That's the only way you can possibly overcome it. :)

Awwww thanks so true

Thanks Vinny;)

You are most welcome. :)

I also confess…that when I was little I put an earthworm In my sisters hair
