Does anyone here suffer from depression?!

I suffer from severe depression. I have tried meds and doctors and I have found nothing works, really. It is all in yourself. Try doctors and try meds and try doing it on your own. You have to figure out what works for you. Good luck, keep your head up.Health Question & Answer

I suffer from depression, not a deep depression, I can fuction in life but I end up crying alot and I have cut myself at some really low times. I have a problem with obsessing about money and it makes me depressed when i think about it or anything associated with it. It makes me and my husband fight alot because I obsess about it and most of the time we are fine with money. I end up eating alot, I have gained 60 pounds in about a year, which makes me even more depressed, alot of times I have no reason to be. It gets hard but I manage to live, not many people know how depressed I am. i am a quiet person though so I don't talk about it much.
Suicide has crossed my mind before but I would never ever do it, every time it has crossed my mind I was on something like alcohol. I try not to drink much becasue it makes it worse at least untill I sober up.Health Question & Answer

yes i have in the past and it was severe depression.... You need something to do or a hobby to occupy your mind and you need to find some things to do that will give you a little peace, like yoga, listening to classical music or whichever you prefer, read, and focus on the important things in life.... and if it gets too severe to deal with, please go see a doc... its not a bad thing to be on meds... and if you ever need to talk you can e-mail me anytime.... hope this helps a little..Health Question & Answer

Not very well.

Have been trying to pick myself up and get out of it myself for about 6 months but I keep slipping back into depression (and I've never come out of it).

Going to the doctor's tomorrow to get some professional help again. Would much rather be able to do it alone and get over it alone but I know it's unlikely to happen.

Go to your doctor. Good luck. Health Question & Answer

It's almost impossible to be without medication when you are severely depressed. The meds usually level things out. It's a chemical imbalance in your brain and the medication helps to get things back on track with time. Health Question & Answer
