Depression

Myself and a few others have depression in my school. I'm trying to educate our year (year 12) so we can get some help from them. I just got home from a retreat with all of Year 12, and was shocked to see the treatment of some of my peers with depression.

Has anyone done this before? Got any advice on how to do this successfully?

 

Deperssion sucks. :/
I used to have it when I was 8 years old.
I have tried to help people through it.

 

Ever looked into marijuana?

 

Please don't post shit.

Marijuana is illegal and unhealthy.

 

i have bad depression , but i force myself not to think about stuff too much or it'll give me stress aswell , so i just do sports to get my mind off things .

 

I get really depressed when im bored :embar: i just try to keep my self busy i guess.

 

He didn't post "shit"..

Weed will help your depression. The only negative health benefit is lung damage, but you're smoking so what do you expect. There's plenty of positive health benefits to go along with weed, why do you think some states allow it for medical use?

/facepalm

On topic:

Around February of this year I had a complete mental breakdown and was the most depressed I have ever been in my life. I dumped my girlfriend of 2 years for no reason at all (we're back together now thankfully) I considered suicide almost every day, and I pretty much quit school (I'm back on track now)

I'm feeling a lot better about everything now. I don't really know what helped me.. most likely the few months off of school. If you can, try to take some time off and get your head on straight. Do some stuff, like go out with some friends to the movies/dinner/amusement park/something.

 

Go expereince sunlight and the outdoors might help instead of your monitor

 

Go talk to a person you are close with, and explain what is making you depressed.

 

why you depressed?

 

Just make a few ground rules about treatment

 

A sport should help?
And they have anti depressant pills.
And another thing I believe is socialising, not on facebook msn, but actually getting out there enjoying time with your friends.

 

I take ADs.
It should help eventually...
