Ever gotten sick from depression?

[The Last Meatbag]

Sometimes I question if I have depression as well...since it's run in my family..

I do have those days though where I just feel empty and upset about everything, every action I make I feel like I've done wrong and everything that occurs doesn't seem like it goes the way it supposed to. This only happens on certain days with me, but it can be a real drag. I don't know if this is the healthiest method, but I always like to find a way to distract my mind. I play video games, listen to music, joyride, or pop in a movie. Playing my guitar helps too.

I can't say that I understand what you're feeling right now, but I can say that I have felt those physical symptoms, and it feels like a loop of things just making you feel like ****.

Talk to friends, or vent...I used to write about those bad things, and make a joke out of them (obviously, some occurences can't be joked about)

2007 was actually a big heap of **** year for me. I moved during the middle of my sophomore year in high school during the holiday season. Leaving all of my friends in the dead middle of my high school life. Then got thrown into this new place, feeling like some sort of alien...and...awkward all the time. Basically, it felt like the world was picking on me, and I felt sick every day...for...months.

..kinda rambling about myself here...

But I guess...what I'm trying to say, is everybody (I think) has those kinds of moments in their life, different extremes of course..but try and find something to look up/forward to. I'd be happy to help you out too, a lot of the people on here are.

Yes, I do take medication for my depression. I can honestly say it's working, but depression simply doesn't disappear in the blink of an eye. Having a positive outlook certainly helps, I put all my effort into defeating this sickness, and so far I'm winning (so to speak). Even though bad things have happened, and although I have depression, I simply cannot let it control my life. I know things will get better, because they will.

That post made my day!

Just keep that wonderful outlook my friend. I think it's so amazing that you're fighting so vehemently and that you know it's an uphill battle that you can overcome! I did a psych rotation and there's this new group therapy technique we used where patients are, in a way, tricked to be optimistic and out-going, within 6 months a large majority of the patients considered their lives "better" than when they started and also felt important, that their lives meant something.

Short answer, yes.

Never knew the feeling till a few days ago. I was feeling so positive and happy for the first time in so long, then a few days ago something happened to someone I really care about. It's so hard for me to eat but I'm basically forcing myself and I haven't been able to be myself and I want this to go away but that person won't let me in and try to help them because they already feel horrible as it is. Why do I have to be so damn sympathetic?


Anyone else ever have that feeling?

yeah . . . when my dog passed away last month, I basically didn't eat for two days . . . I eventually HAD to eat something, but still had no appetite . . . don't beat yourself up over it though, hun . . . you can only help people who want to be helped, so no sense in both of you suffering . . .

oh no apology necessary. it's tough to start out somewhere new, especially in high school for goodness sake. the whole distracting the mind does help, just to escape for a little bit is a great feeling.

don't mention it . . . . and if you don't get better, you can always become an Emo chick

 

[Moviefan2k4]

I once became so stressed over a past relationship that I got severe stomach-aches and later threw up. It's not easy, watching someone you care for send their own life down the tubes, and you powerless to stop them.

 

[The Geek Vault]

Yeah I've had this, I got stomach pains a few times from it and I know a guy who used to throw up a lot cause of anxiety.

So how ya doing Jolie? I hope you are starting to feel better?

There's really nothing else to do. You deal with the hand you've been dealt.

well uh, i thought i was doing good. then um..well..totally broke down in one of my classes today, couldn't control it. weird. embarrassing. but i guess it needed to happen. kept it pent up for too long

hopefully that's another step towards feeling great again

once i can talk to the person and hopefully straighten everything out, yeah. but now i just ugh, can't talk about it. still don't know the entire story with him.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

I've gotten sick of depressed people.

 

[Jolie_Desastre]

sorry

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

It's been rough.

 

[Prison Mike]

I don't know why, but whenever I'm down, I like to watch an episode of The Office (US version). It always cheers me up and makes me laugh. You can't get more pathetic than Michael Scott. Steve Carell is a comic genius, IMO.

My advice is to watch something that makes you laugh. Not chuckle or giggle, but something that makes you laugh out loud. It will distract you from whatever you were thinking about and you'll feel better after laughing.

Well as long as you didn't start ripping off your clothes. Screaming about how they are all trying to get in your head. Then I am sure they will understand.

Everybody breaks down. Some people cry, some lock everyone up in a dorm room, & shoot them systematically. It is the circle of life. Please be the cryer.

I don't think anyone would mind too much if JoLiE started ripping off her clothes . . .
