I Battle Depression

It Gets Worse and Worse...

By: CasuWill
Written on November 27th, 2007
Its becoming all too ordinary now.. The irrational thoughts of just about everything, feeling drowsy 100% of the time, not wanting to do anything, and the worst part: feeling entirely alone.. It feels as though it has no end in sight. Day after day I find myself in a tangled mess of depression. The worst part about it all though, is the fact that sometimes i'll be having a great day and then all of the sudden, BOOM!, back to feeling horrible. Now, ive never been to a docter yet and im just now starting to read up on all the things that go along with depression but i wanted to ask everyone.. Im not real amped up about taking a bunch of pills if they do diagnose me with depression, so, what does everyone do to try and get over depression without the assistance of drugs or alcohol?
Thanks to everyone that helps out.

    supportive friends..esp if you can have a laugh with them, talking to people on here...sometimes if I'm not too far gone forcing my mouth into a smile can help trigger happy brain chemicals or something..and can jst start nudging things the right way again!...but it is difficult, I know....

    One step is finding a therapist. A good one can help work wonders.

    A good psychiatrist will also not immediately start throwing pills at you. They'll also, as much as possible, keep your wishes in mind as long as you communicate with them.
