Beating depression

For those of you that don’t know it: depression can control the decisions you make and the way you feel about about them. Everyday you just want to die and this is something that could happen to anyone with depression. You’ll end up in fits of tears and people wonder why. When it was me i couldn’t tell anybody about it. They would have laughed at me. Now it’s ok to discuss it.
Although you will never be free from depression there are ways you can fight it. Always keep yourself active. Get yourself a dog. There’s no better way of staying active. A friend of mine has a dog and it has done him the world of good.

He’d be lost without it. Get yourself a hobby if getting a dog isn’t your thing. I’d recommend long distance running or cycling. Depression takes a lot of effort to overcome. Being alone is not a good idea and should be avoided at all costs unless you want to read at length. For seven solid months i read everything i could get. Whatever you choose to do, keep your mind active.

whenever i was inactive the depression came back. I found myself crying uncontrollably. There are medications but they only go so far. The best thing is to keep your mind active. Always do that. Says a man talking from experience.

A disaster waiting to happen

I’ve always had mental depression but i wonder how i’d do if i didn’t have it. Leading a normal life is something i always wanted. My dad was no use. He didn’t understand that i needed help. Either that or he didn’t care. From an early age i knew that i had something i couldn’t cure. I just didn’t realise how bad it was. Back in the seventies, when i grew up, it was a sign of weakness if you let it get the better of you so you didn’t talk about it.

I tried but nothing seemed to work. I was heading in one direction. Nothing helped me. As if anything could. Now, i’m disabled and can’t walk. I cry because i’m stuck and can’t do anything. Life is cruel. If only i could do something to end it all, i would.
I had a family and thought it would solve the problem but it only made it worse. My son became a thug during his teenage years. My dad stopped talking to him and even now tries to avoid anything to do with Jon. I had a torrid time of it. I couldn’t cope and wished i could deal with everything that was going on around me.

My life has become something that i hide from. It hasn’t been successful but it could have been. I made many mistakes but ultimately it was always a disaster and i take full responsibility for it.

Lessons in life

It’s about time a book was published that told you what to do when you reached the age of eighteen. I’m surprised it hasn’t been done already. It should tell you all about getting a mortgage because if you rely on your parents to tell you you can think again. The book should tell you about things you will encounter in life. Being forewarned is a good idea. Too often we make mistakes that can be avoided by being told what to expect and how we should deal with them. If you suffer from mental anxiety and depression this is particularly useful. It always helps if you have someone guide you through the process.

i suffer from anxiety and it helps having somebody make the decisions for you. As far as depression is concerned they have made major inroads to the illness but i feel there is still a long way to go. Asking somebody who crys and doesn’t know why is hardly going to want to talk about it. Getting someone to save his money rather than spend it on things he doesn’t need seems like a good idea to me.
Having a good start in life is something we all want. Going about it the right way is a valuable notion to have in life.
