I suffer from depression from time to time. A lot of the therapies and and advice out there can be confusing, wrong for you, and unnecessary. What is necessary is your recognition of something being wrong. You cannot just "snap" out of it. And your friends and family may not understand why, there are resources for them as well. Its difficult sometimes to support a person when you don't understand whats wrong, and they are not even sure themselves. There are good, feasible options available to you. Some may be drug therapy, some may be counselling, some maybe a combination of both. It is important to speak with your doctor about this so that they can help you figure out what is best for you. Ask lots of questions, it is your right to know what is going on with your body and mind. And remember you are not stuck to one option, and always try to think positively. You are not alone, many, many people suffer from depression, you are not crazy. Talking and meditating/thinking will help you see that.Please sign the guestbook if you find this helpful or would like to see somethings added, or even have advice for depressed people.
