thanx doc
Very good points discussed by the doc. Thanks a lot.
we are our all our own worst enemy
depression is a way of life, and of course it’s all in your head . . . or so you think
This video has certainly made me think on. I have been suffering with depression severe depression for the last 2 years. I have always had a tendency of not coping very well when things go wrong. I have been to see several doctors and a councellor to date. One of the things i have noticed along the way is that not one of them have diagnosed me as being depressed.. Why is this?
@Junno40 u dont need to be diagnosed depressed.feeling like shit 24/7 is all u need to know ur depressed
I feel bacause I havn’t actually been diagnosed people don’t believe me.. For instance i was speaking to a lady from My childrens school. I was telling her how I suffer with deppression .. she said oh I never realized I thought you were just run ragged. She stated she too was depressed then asked what anti depressants i was on..
When the answer I gave was I chose not to take them despite being prescribed with them. Her reaction changed somewhat ..Surely just because I refuse to take anti depressants does not mean i don’t suffer with depression?? Is it normal behaviour to think of commiting suicide every5 minutes? Only to be bound by your dependents.. I can’t fail them, but me being here is is also failing them because my negativity oozes out like a weeping wound…
@Junno40 Ias a depressed person i can tell u it makes it hard when people dont take it seriously and you get tired of explaining it.People dont really care about what they cant feel for themselves which makes it even harder
“not coping very well when things go wrong”
yea, thats called being normal, when things go bad, you dont like it…
besides, not coping very well is still coping with it.
The doctors have had to know what they’re doing to earn the title of doctor so maybe they know what they’re talking about?
Yea, i get depressed way too often for it to be healthy for me, I often think about suicide and or just saying “the hell with everything”.
Guess that means i should visit a shrink or something like that…
Gps all to often give out Anti depressents because Depression is out of there area of expertise.. Someone who is depressed needs somebody to talk too and possibly guide they’re way of thinking on a positive path. I have suffered for a long long time .. My life is fine at the moment I have four children and am in a loving stable relationship .. we have are own business. I should be happy but no ! I am depressed there is nothing i can point to that is responsible for making me l like that.
im depressed wish i could go to dignitas to end it all
i hate my fucking life i hope fucking 2012 destroys life as we know it ……..it’s just a piece of fucking shit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 who needs it anyway
My husbands depresion is hurting our marriage, and is hurting me as an individual. I can’t be around him anymore, and I don’t know what to do to help him, I cannot force him to change his way of thinking, I try to take him out, I try to get his mind of this destructive thoughts but its useless, I think he hates me, he acts like my mere presence stresses him out.. I don’t know what else to do.,
Don’t despair, seek a relationship with God, ask Jesus to forgive yu of your sins and ask Him into your heart. Stay close to Him, read the Bible and pray.
For anyone simply typing’ Depression’ and ‘Help’ into youtube’s search engine, like I just did, you’ll agree this a self advertising arshat with no short-term advice, so have a hug from me!
@Monstermack40 Sounds like a pretty one sided relationship… whats worse than being totally alone and depressed? Being depressed and delusional. God won’t do shit for anyone… fuck god.
@renvaar Sorry you feel that way because God has done plenty for Me.
I really feel bad for you if that’s your point of view.
@renvaar how can you say? what ever has happend in your life i am trully sorry but don’t say things like that abot God. he gave you life for a reason instead of bashing him prays him with all your heart and i promise you things will change. remember God still loves you and their is still time to change. God bless you.
@eternallyempty maybe it’s in our spirit? either way, i didn’t bother to listen to no guru. thumbs down
@eternallyempty i think you are simply empty inside, probably you hve not much to say. simple bull shit like the usual retard, but that’s ok… that’s why you have no clue what this is all about.
@Monstermack40 People who don’t believe in the fuzzy one in the sky don’t want him shoved down their throats. If the best god can do is a world filled with murderers, rapists, corrupt governments, starving children, wars etc (I could go on all day) then he can stay away from me… Seems I can do better without him. Throughout history religion has caused more deaths through conflict than anything else.
@renvaar I’m not shoving God anywhere, I’m just called to witness about Him. It is The Holy Spirit who convicts. Sorry you feel that way.
Depression isn’t something that can be cured,its like cancer–there are meds to slow it,but it will always be there,in the back of your head & reminding you,that you can’t do a thing about it.
