Depression remedies

almost every thing I get excited about (ball games, weight loss, weekends) I lose my excitement a few mintues later and i feel like theres no hope… not like no hope and i should commit suicide but its just like you call walmart for a video game and they have one left but wont hold it.. so you get there a.s.a.p. and someone beat you to it… your not completely hopeless but you lost hope in that and feel down for a while which is like me.. anyways .. for example i was excited for a snow day and was happy about it but after a few minutes i lost interest and it was almost a bad thing instead…
what do you think??

I’ve been feeling horrible since last month and it’s never stopping. people say that depression is a problem when it doesn’t go away but there’s supposed to be some terrible thing happening that makes you depressed right? But nothing happened so i have no idea why i’m feeling like that.

yeah. that’s the explanation. what are signs of clinical depression?

Can someone please give me the basic symptoms and signs of clinical depression, My son has been acting out lately and I simply don’t know what to do anymore. I really am not sure, but he has been acting very strange for the past 4 months, and I am a fool to consider doing something about it now, shame on me.

Please help.
Well, he is 28, and he has been acting strange, as in, he lost his job a year ago for getting caught masturbating by the manager. He hasn’t been playing video games. All he does is smoke pot in the basement, it seems like the only person he talks to is our pet dog, he ignores me and my girlfriend, he eats like a pig, he gained recently, around 32 pounds, and is becoming enormous. I know I’m a bad mother but I don’t know what to do, I need help. Please don’t flame me.

that’s what i noticed a lot.

I Have never met a person in my life that was diagnosed with clinical depression. All I know is that I am not a very happy person and tend to isolate myself from everybody. I also feel suicidal at times but never really entertained that thought too much cause I love my children and wife dearly. I also tend to project my shortcomings on other people. Sometimes it feel like lots of people enjoy it to see me down and out. Eversince I lost my job 4 years ago (occupied a high ranked position at a financial institution) I lost all self confidence and life became an uphill battle. Cant shake the past. Think that life is unfair. Regards myself as a loving, caring good person and will go all out so that other people can love me. Please help!!!

if so, why?

it’s just i’ve been having some irational thoughts recently, they’ve been tending to revolve around the idea of god, satan, angels, souls….that side of things.
i personally believe that what ever the problem is, its trying to attack me at a basic level, for everything else to fall into place if it gets the better of me.
i know the problem is psychological, whatever it is.
Psychological in origin i mean.

–21 years old, college student–don’t really like my major…
–never really had close friends growing up
–Extremely sad sometimes (been like that for years now)
–Also can be extremely happy and funny…I laugh a lot
–Most of the time, I find no meaning in life, and think we’re all just going to die, so what the hell does it matter what I do with my life?
–never had interest in sex, never been in a relationship
–i’m extremely introspective and like to think about and reflect on stuff.
–extremely philosophical…like to look at deep quotes from philosophers
–not sure of my identity–don’t really know who I am.
–I’m trying to really love myself
–Developed a skin disorder that messed up my face for a while at the end of high school and beginning of college..it was a time of extreme stress from applying to college
–sometimes I have fleeting suicidal thoughts of what it would be like to die..never serious though

Okay. I’ll admit I have some issues, but I don’t think I need a psychologist. Lots of people I come into contact with think I need one. My mom wanted to send me to one because I tend to chew my fingers. Other people want me to see one due to the fact that I also tend to stay depressed. They say it could be signs of clinical depression and anxiety. Even others say I should speak with a therapist of some sort due to the fact that I “bottle up my feelings, and that’s not healthy”. I don’t think there’s any point to me going to see one, but when I tell that to the people who say I should they say something about denial. Should I at least consider seeing one, or can I continue ignoring their requests? Thanks.

Yeah, I have been noticing a significant drop in my grades in school, and so have my parents. I feel like I’ve stopped caring, but I know I really haven’t because I want to do better, but I can’t seem to pull out of my depression.

I was diagnosed with clinical depression but I do not want to take the pills prescribed to me. Is there anything else I can do instead that will stop the depression from affecting me so strongly?

Serious answers only, pretty please.

I’ve noticed that when I am not feeling productive or “going somewhere” with my life that I become severely depressed. For instance, I had a less than favorable living situation in high school where my parents wouldn’t allow me to have a job or really leave the home and my grades were horrible and showed all the major signs of depression. I moved out of state, got a job, and I had a significantly higer GPA and was alot happier with my life. Now that I’ve lost my job, I’ve started to show all the signs of clinical depression again over the past 3 months. Is there a type of depression related with this, like how seasonal depression affects people based on the weather?
