It was recently suggested to me that ...if i want something different..then I gotta do something different...Pain is a great motivator....Depression is painful especially having to live and feel it every day. Isolating doesn't work...So...I am trying to reach out...through this chat thing...I am trying to get out of the house and go anywhere that feels safe....Just doing something different one moment at a time ...one day at a time...Trusting that a Power Greater than myself will restore me to sanity by removing this depression and getting me through this storm in my life.

Depression means that they have been unusually sad for a prolonged period(over a month) but there are different kinds of depression, like Dysthymia which is when a person is pretty much depressed their whole lives, but rarely suicidal. Other types of depression, a person may be sad and bored but never suicidal, they just might feel they have nothing to look forward to and nothing makes them happy. Severe depression would require hospitalization as usually at the least it results in suicidal thoughts and at worst attempts of suicide. Plenty can be done for depression, there are medications you can get from a doctor or preferably a psychiatrist, and then therapy can be helpful too as long as the participant is not stubborn and is willing to cooperate with the therapist. Some people succesfully rid themselves of depression forever, some it comes back off and on and some just might remain depressed forever.Health Question & Answer
