Depressed Honors Student asked:


When I go to start any paper for college all of a sudden I go from feeling normal to utterly depressed and hopeless. Like no matter what I write it will never be good enough. Rationally I know that I do all the readings and even though struggle with the depressions I get pretty good grades, so its not that I am a horrible student. I just don’t want to struggle with the depression and hopeless feelings every paper. Does anyone have any ideas how I can feel better, please?

When you’re depressed, trying to do what you need to do can be like wading through molasses. Is there any way to make life easier when you have to deal with depression? By the way, I am on medication, but it doesn’t solve everything.

Julia asked:


My family has a very long bloodline of depression like my dad’s sister and grandmother were diagnosed also my mom, brother, mom’s sister, and my mom’s mother all were diagnosed with depression. I want to know if there is any way to prevent it because I have not been diagnosed and really would prefer not to be.
Thanks!

How strong can depression be? How harmful is it? For instance, does depression make your bf/gf want to break up with you over a stupid reason especially when they’re the one suffering depression? What makes them want to push you away and be alone? What makes them want to ignore you to consult their own feelings? Do they realize what they’re doing especially they’re the one in pain?

I have a history of severe depression. My mom is very against medication and counseling, and reluctantly allowed me to go on the lowest dosage of zoloft. It helped, but now she wants me to go off of it and stop going to my doctor. My fear is that my depression will return. What are the chances of my depression returning, and how can I handle it if and when it does?

Crazy_person asked:


Like symptoms other than the obvious ones like feeling down.

When does someone get the point where help from medication is needed. I know someone who is suffering from a form of depression but is worried that the antidepression tablets will have worse side effects. Its hard to know if its severe depression or even depression at all.

me and a few other online users have found sweet relief with this. i wrote a whole big thing on it earlier. i take 21st century st johns wort. ive had depression my whole life, did the whole pill doctor thing, now cant afford that. so i tryed st johns wort. i take 2 in the morn,it works fast. my racing mind quieted down, i am more confident, can deal with the most stressful things now. have more energy, less stress, and sleep better. and there arent any side effects.try it. and for those who have your opinions, think about this, have you ever actually been depressed? because if not, quit telling people what you think you should do when youve never experienced it. im trying to help people.
remember. everyone is different so it may work, it may not. just like any prescription. so try it you never know. i just dont want people to feell like i have. what works for me may work for someone else. take every day. if you stop your old feelings come back fast. it dosnt stay in your body long.

bibbo asked:


I am looking for a drug or medicine or whatever that can help diminish or kill feelings such as love, regret, sadness, hate, or etc. I know there are off the counter prescription drugs that can help diminish depression, but I am looking for something that can diminish emotions or feelings in general.

Jane asked:


I take Ortho Tri Cyclen, and I’m looking for an over-the-counter treatment for mild depression. St. John’s wort sounds nearly perfect, but it would interfere with my birth control. Are there any alternatives that would produce similar effects?
