[Alex23]

Im seriously self destructive yet im not depressed, where do I fit in?
I just love anarchy

It can sneak up on people when least expected. There are more people who are "depressed" and don't know it than the other way around...But then again it really is just a label...

I would rather see my worst enemy get his ass beat than to see him have to deal with a bout of serious clinical depression.


It really is no laughing matter. The nation is plagued with it.


For you aging men out there (including myself of course) we have a taste of it coming. You wait your whole life working your ass off to retire. Better be prepared.


Retirement is not what you think it is. Have hobbies. Have money saved (good luck) Keep working out. Stay active. Keep moving even if you feel you have no reason or desire.

LOL @ "joint". Haven't heard that one since 1998 

[Danimal77]

I should be happier now that I've got a job now but I'm not. I made a lot of mistakes in my life and am sorry for it. But I can't go back in time and fix these things. Am I doomed to suffering?  

Dude, I know this comment is 2 weeks old, but I've been where you are, trust me. A new job won't make a difference. Something isn't missing in your life. Something is missing within YOU. Did you lose your girl a while ago? Did that start all of this downward spiraling?

Anyone else ever dealt with depression? Lately I've been feeling really down in the dumps. Not the normal feeling down but like a lower level of downess. Im just really sad. I'm not looking for anyones sympathy so please. im just curious if anyone has ever dealt with depression and how they deal with it. If I had insurance I would think about going to see a doc.

I've never really been depressed (unless I just don't know I am). Anxiety is more my style...

[Roger Bacon]

ahhhh fuck, the hero of getbig!!! Dez!!!!!!

[FitnessFrenzy]

I tried ginko biloba once. It fucked up my sleep.

"Belief in God may improve treatment for those suffering with depression, a study published earlier year found.

Faith in a higher being was found to significantly improve treatment for people suffering with a psychiatric illness, according to research carried out by McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts.

Researchers followed 159 patients over the course of a year at the Behavioral Health Partial Hospital program to investigate the relationship between a patient's level of belief in God, expectations for treatment and actual treatment outcomes.

Each participant was asked to gauge their belief in God as well as their expectations for treatment outcome on a five-point scale.

Researchers found that patients with 'no' or only 'slight' belief in God were twice as likely not to respond to treatment than patients with higher levels of belief.

And more than 30 per cent of patients claiming no specific religious affiliation still saw the same benefits in treatment if their belief in God was rated as moderately or very high."

I 'believe' that religion is good for those who can't deal with the unknown.

[Mr Nobody]

A good statement. 

[Dago_Joe]

I 'believe' that religion is good for those who can't deal with the unknown.

I used to believe the same thing until I stopped fighting what i knew was right in my heart and soul.  BTW i have a MAJOR problem with RELIGION.  I think it mostly separates and causes hatred amongst peoples.  I believe in FAITH.  faith does not require religion in any way.  There are many non-denominational churches.  I think most of the problems people have are with religion not faith.  Religion imposes strict unattainable rules and says "our" version is right and "theirs" is wrong.  Think about this all you guys that are spewing hatred.  My faith has helped tremendously through my turmoil.  And the wonderful God-loving people i have met and interacted with have truly saved me.
