Look At Yourself Posted: 01-12-04 16:18pm
If you are feeling depressed then you
probally are feeling down unless this is a
reoccuring thing. If you have been
feeling this way for a while I would
suggest seeing a counsler!! If you don't
feel like it is that bad, try to look at
why things are making you sad, sit down
and write, don't stop for about 20
minutes. You will be shocked at what you
can learn about yourself when you run out
of things to write and things you never
really felt were a problem start to show
themselves!!! Good luck

(still a little depressed but getting
better at seeing life as a great thing)

I agree with lisa, whether you're
depressed or just down depends on how long
you have been this way & how bad it is
& maybe on why.
So yes, try writing down all your
feelings, - what makes you feel good
& what makes you feel bad or sad?
What leads you to think about the world
without you in it? & how you think
this - I mean is it, have I donme anything
worthwhile or is it the world/my family
would be better off without me.
When did this start & what triggered
it, if you know or was it a series of
things??

Well shree if u cry with some reason then
better stay away from that reason for
while then try not to think about it.This
will prevent depression a bit.

Maybe you can try being more honest with
your friends. I know that when I feel
like I don't express how i'm really
feeling, I feel worse. Being emotionally
honest is a big part of true friendship.
Best wishes,

Beating the Sadness Posted: 02-12-04 15:27pm
I noticed that you are from michigan. I
am from the upper peninsula, and up here I
see a lot of people get depressed in the
winter time. There is an illness called
seasonal depressive disorder, where people
get "depressed" from the lack of natural
sunlight (which we don't get a lot of here
in the u.P. In the winter time). Maybe
you could try one of those artificial sun
lights that are designed to substitute
indoor light for natural sunlight and make
you feel a little better. You can
probably find one at your drug store. Or
try just getting outside and taking a walk
or maybe go skiing or something like that.
If none of this helps, then maybe you
have a chemical imbalance in your brain
that is causing you to be so sad all the
time. This also is a real problem that
more and more people are suffering from,
but there are solutions - both natural and
pharmaceutical. If you get to the point
where nothing seems to be helping see your
doctor and talk with him/her about trying
some anti-depressants or maybe starting to
take saint john's wart, which is a natural
anti-depressant that you can get over the
counter. I hope this helps - and if you
need to talk to someone you can email me.
Good luck!!!
