Before i go, everyone helps i feel i should..what are you depressed about

Not trying to say people here are liars, but I don’t think too many people are depressed(clinically). I know I’ve said I’m depressed, but I think what most people here are is sad. There are a few who actually are depressed, but many who say they are are laughing with friends, leaving nice messages to each other, and so on.

wont be on steady till later so I’m not hiding or anything lol, have school :P

im depressed 2.

Im up and down … mostly down and never really up high when im up anyways

Why, is a lot of different things that all ties together, overprotective parents, loss of friends, isolation, unrequited love

only melancholic depression is when nothing makes you better at all …. people with that type get put in the hospital often

I’m clinically depressed….but if something is really funny I am capable of laughing…but then right after it always goes back to the way it was

I read somewhere recently (i’ll find the link in a minute) that a large part of depression is caused from chemical imbalances. And what causes these imbalances? drugs and alcohol. What’s the best cure? Lots of exercise to get all the natural chemicals (seratonin, dopamine etc) flowing through your body again.

Its also caused be thinking the same thoughts over and over. Doing this creates neural pathways in the brain and by re-thinking the same thoughts you reinforce these pathways. The cure? - Get out of you head and stop thinking so much. So go do something that gets you into your body such as exercise.

well that fails on the first part considering ive never drank or done drugs or even smoked once in all my life and not even on any medications either. =|
