Talking About Severe Depression When I Was 19 Pt. II.wmv

[mrpepjr1]

my nephew is going through the worst depression I've ever seen. He wont talk, barely eats, he seems to be losing his mind. He didn't leave his room for days and would stare at a tv all day. Sometimes there would be no volume and he would just stare. He is now hospitalized - not sure what the outcome will be but he is drugged up. When I saw him yesterday I cried, he looked psychotic. What can we do, what do I tell him? I will be seeing him today and I want to help him but how? This is too sad!

@mrpepjr1 Hey there, first, I'm sorry your nephew is going through that. Has anyone figured out what he's suffering from? Is it depression or psychosis? How old is he? Did he have a suicide attempt? Private hospital or state? Was he depressed or paranoid/delusional too? So many things go into a psych diagnosis, maybe the docs can give you some guidance.

I think the main thing you can do now is tell him you love him and be there for him. Make visits and spend time with him. Your love is obvious.

You are right about anti depressants. I'm 17, doc tried to put me on em and I quit taking em after I was prescribed too high of a dose. Weird drugs.

I'm really sorry that anyone has to go through pain. There are no good explanations.

Great vid. I've been diagnosed with 4 mental disorders and am still learning about how to deal with the past. Strangely, my mother has been experiencing various symptoms for the first time at the same time as myself and this has lead me into research for alternative treatments for mental disorders such as diet, supplements, and various therapies. Its good to see people speaking out.

Hi, my name is Monica and I wanted to thank you for making this video. You have a very calm vibe about you that I truly admire. About 1 year ago I was admitted to the psychiatric ward of a hospital. Although I do not struggle with gender, I carry a lot of pain with me everyday. I was taking college classes at the time and could not bring myself to show up as I felt utterly disgusted with myself everyday. I started feeling guilty that I was not able to show up because I knew my mum worked hard t

Hi! Megan. To continue my story. I was that close at offing myself. I was helped by Patrick a good friend. Who was there when it happend and helped me get over it. I am in therapy right now. I am fighting with myself to open up before it`s too late. I just hope my pshyciatrist can help. I am in a world of hurt right now. All i can hope for is to survive. Sorry!! Hope i have not burdened you much with my story. Wish you joy and happyness, may you never experience saddness again. Hugg&kiss Bye!

Love the song.

"Happiness"

Abre Moore is awesome!

Listened to all her music on my iPod on my way back from Montreal for GRS last Thurs - Feb, 11, 2010.

I reconmend all her CD's.

Life is all about spirituality and balance.

Pt. 2 -- Anyway, after hearing your story, it reaffirmed that i'm not alone in my struggle for self-acceptance and finding out my place in the world. Some of us have more difficult uphill battles than others, but it's true when they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. You are living proof of that, and an inspiration to those with similar issues. Thank you for continuing to put your positive energy out there.

I too went through a dark period in my life, and it was so painfully difficult to explain it to anyone. The fact that I didn't trust too many people only aggravated the matter. The people you think you can trust eventually betray you, so I pretty much bottled everything up. I read a lot of self-help books and had an uncle who was understanding, and that helped immensely. I was also on medication, but voluntarily went off when I found out it caused heart problems.

Meghan.. you have touched so many raw nerves. It's so impossible at times to explain to people what is happening in our heads,; to explain to people why we need to do what we think we need to do to make life better for them though not forourselves. I'm so glad you made it OK.

How were you able to get through 10 weeks of intensive inpatient therapy without exposing your gender issues? That is an impressive feat in and of itself. Locking myself up and not talking to anyone is what I have done all my life. Only since transitioning have I become more social but still spend way to much time alone. Your advice is right on the nose. You are a very positive soul.

[MeghansLife]

Oh, it wasn't that hard. It's easy to divert attention to other issues like loneliness, isolation, self-esteem, relationships, family, friends, depression, etc. If you don't have a REALLY good therapist spending a ton of time with you, you can slip under their radar. They only know what you share with them. I think after like 15 years of hiding, it wasn't too difficult. I did almost come out to my weekly therapist in the coming four years, narrowly escaped :)

[SteffyBru]

Thanks for sharing this personel part of your life. I believe that many people will recognize themselves (I do) in your storry.

[tredeep]

Thx for sharing , I think this vid has motivated me to confront & share some of my own personal battles with depression in a vid, Thank You

Hey Meghan! Loved this video. I suffered from depression for many years until it turned into anxiety and anxiety attacks, to this day I still have bad anxiety attacks and I force myself to push past it. My depression was not due to gender tho just a sense of losing a life I thought I would have and losing faith in people. Even now I am not a big fan of the general populace. I choose to limit my interactions with people on a need to basis.
