I am seasonally depressed. Please help me find ways to help get me out of bed and to work and school. Other than the usual - “stop being lazy,” “get your ass up,” “force yourself.” It’s not that easy.

I think I may be clinically depressed but everyone thinks it’s just because I’m a teenager. But the hurt, emptiness and confusion are much too deep. What are the signs of clinical depression, specifically in teens? Thanks =)

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’m just curious as to what honest opinions are about people who are on disability. I’m on medical disability for depression. Would you date someone who you knew (from the beginning) was on disability? Or would that be a turn off to you? Be honest now.

I’m hoping to be going back to work at the first of the year (fingers crossed!), but it’s always bothered me as to how my being on disability is perceived by others. I know it can be looked at as something very negative. I know it shouldn’t matter, but I hate to tell people that I don’t work and am on disability for depression. I’m 28 and to look at me, there’s nothing “wrong” but depression has just been really dibilitating to me over the past several years. I really hope that I can make friends and find the person I was meant to marry and I’m doing things to try to make that happen, but I was just wondering. Yes, I’m in therapy and it’s helping…thank goodness!

Honest answers not politically correct ones.

I’m having a very difficult time in my life right now. And for the last 3 months, I start to cry, feel VERY depressed 3 days before my period and through my period.

I was just wondering, if there is anything to make me feel normal? Maybe a tea or vitamins or anything else?

I’ve heard about SAM-E, St. John’s Wort, and others, but I’m wondering if there’s any out there that may be not that well known, but effective. I’ve gone through the med route and just want to see what alternatives are out there.

Hello all,

I am 18 and was diagnosed long ago with depression, put on many meds for it, and have seen them work about half way most of the time. That means they help just a bit, but they don’t make me consistently happy.

To compound things, I have been told by a specialist at my college that I have a learning disability and that it is very very likely that I have ADD.

Depression, an LD and ADD? WOW… yeah I feel the same way, but it is not a feeling I enjoy.

Depression ruins my outlook on life, saps my motivation and will, and tells me that I will fail at most everything I do. My learning disability actually helps me fail, as does my ADD, which also makes me forget most things. This forgetting of things is extremely frustrating, along with a million other things.

The specialist also determined that my overall IQ is 120, but that seems to count for little, what with all my baggage weighing me down.
I guess my question is, has anybody in a situation similar to mine had any success with Ritalin? I’m hoping that after I am diagnosed with ADD my forgetfulness will stop and my mind will be clear and able to focus, allowing me to put my efforts on areas of my life not affected by my LD and examine my depression/anxiety with a clear mind.
I have been thinking about exercise, and diet change. It’s very difficult to do but you are definitely correct about it. Thank you!

Does anyone know of any herbal remedies to help with the depression that comes right before and during my period??
