lol okay, thank you!!!

I'm sorry i don't have any personal anecdotes to help you, but nick81's advice actually sounded pretty good.

Well hello, it's me!


Anyway IMO you should stay away from drugs unless you are suffering from severe depression... Way too many side-effects and in my book, the less drugs I take, the better. I hate depending on tiny white pills! (yes even panadol!)

lol I so know wat u're talkin about, cause I'm just the same, last thing I think of doin is takin pills!!!!

But it's not easy when you suffer from chronic migraines!! I only have them 2 or 3 times a year but when I do the first solution that comes to mind is grab a drill and find the source of the pain!!

That might be the only time where I use pills, but even then they hardly help... Advil, Panadol super duper extra, I tried them all...

What about taking St. John's Wort - it is a herb that has been thought to calm and improve one's mood. I have had some friends and family take it in times of depression. Here is page with lots of info - don't know how reliable it all is, but you can wade through it. http://www.hypericum.com/

I've suffered from heavy depression once, and it was rough. I don't believe it was a god testing me - it was me being a teenager with imbalances in my hormones and brain chemistry. In the end, my parents and friends were the people who got me through it. Also, you need to exercise (very imporant!) and stop yourself from indulging in the depressive thoughts. E.g. being alone and thinking negative things about yourself or your life. Get out and be with people who care about you! Do something active. Believe me - when you feel you have hit the bottom it is comforting to know that there is no place else to go but back up! You can and will get through it.

Me, stay under the shower, don't stay for too long or you'll get parched lol. I got my lips really dried once @!@

eat lots of chocolate and chips!!!!!

I wouldn't visit a normal GP to ask for pills, first you have to figure out if it is actually despression you're suffering from, and a visit to a good - wait for it - don't be scared - shrink or councellor can do the world of good. They willt ake you through all the things that are happening in your life and find out what the problems are.

Sometimes it's really good to talk to someone who doesn't know you, as they are more objective.

Only if they feel that you are suffering from a severe level of depression or clinical depression will they prescribe uppers, or anti-depressents, and I do not recommend them at all.

Tablets like Zoloft can turn you into a complete unfeeling zombie, with zero emotions at all, they are not good and I totally recommend people to stay well away from them and try natural remedies instead. If you can find a herbalist chemist then try asking for the Bach Flower Remedies, Rescue Remedy works wonders, it's brilliant.

A dose of Lithium sorts those pesky imbalances out.

Nah it was just a rumor...

Yeah, pills would be awful. Maybe they'd help on the short term but your body will become used to them and you'll NEED them to be happy at all.

The only time I've been depressed (it was over a guy. Smack head against brick wall) I listened to sad songs and ate chocolate gateaux and didn't leave my room for a few weeks.

Now when I'm sad, I keep myself busy with my friends and find I soon forget it.

I've read that MB releases seratonin, also its good for your immune system.

Thanks to ya'll
Will try to keep all that in mind =- )
