You would be surprised how many ppl feel like that at that age mate...but also at that age not many are willing to talk about it! - I def know I wasnt....nowdays I feel comfortable to talk to mates, family, however...make sure u talk to ppl but also start to focus more....at the end of it I nearly turned it into a positive thing like I feel shit, only way from here is up and I will be more focused and more motivated than anyone else because of everything I have gone through!

I never took pills....I was given them but a doctor that just gave me them when I said I felt abit down....was about a 10 min appointment...no way I was taking them lol
 
Pills dont change the way you think... They block the reabsorption of neurotransmitters so they can stick around to do their jobs longer..

What this does is blunten your stress response, as it is likely your body is in constant stress response due to gut inflammation. The increse in pro inflammatory cytokines effects mood and behavior...

What is the duration of treatment and your method to coming off medication? Have you discussed this... Be careful of getting doped up forever without working at finding the cause of the problems.

Buy a Multi vitamin
Buy high strength dha capsules
Buy vitamin d - low vitamin d in itself can cause depression.

As gay as this sounds - Positive thinking can help you achieve anything!

I love this quote:

Vision is purpose, and when your purpose is clear so are your life choices. Vision creates faith and faith creates willpower. With faith there is no anxiety, no doubt - just absolute confidence.

My mother recently took me to the doctors because she was worried about me. The doctor said that i had depression, he reccomended me a counselor which i seen last Friday. She said that it would be a good idea if i talk to people about it. I sort of feel embarrassed to talk to people about it for obvious reasons so i thought i would put it on here and see if anyone on AUSBB can be a help. Has anybody got any suggestions on what i could do to make me feel better?
Has anyone ever suffered from depression? or suffering from depression at the moment?

If anyone can be of help it would be really appreciated
Thanks
