Hi, thanks for the vid blog, i'm diagnosed with depression, too. It's nice to know that there are people out there has the courage to share their experience.. We're not alone in fighting this battle. We have a choice to have our own life.. More power to you friend...
Hi. I'd just like to say that i really admire you for posting this. I've recently been diagnosed with depression and i'm also taking fluoxitine. To hear your experiences is a great support and it's nice to hear people comment on how depression is an illness. as i was one of those who believed that i deserved to feel sad all the time and i was really ashamed over it.. so this has really helped me. I hope that everything goes well for you!
Well done for putting your experieneces on here. I think your wonderful and very brave for doing so... it takes a lot of courage. I've suffered silently for about 15yrs and just tend to "ride the storm", which I know isnt the best way to deal with it. Your tip sounds like a good way to put things into perspective and would give you the opportunity to look at things from a different angle. All the best x.
nothing is going wright 4 me am 13 n i wanna kill ma self
my freinds r assholes i hav only a few m8s i actualy lik ma parents hav broke up ma sis is the complet opposite lil miss perfect wiv strade Az n is goin college i fink am in luv wiv ma best m8(girl)
I've started getting depresion and I'm thirteen. I don't know what's causing it. It was all going well and I was getting happier until my father (who I haven't seen in three years) phoned me and said he'd see me. He did not contact me on the day and ignored my calls. Since then it has all came back.
I'm really sorry about your dad, but what you've got to remember is that you were okay before your dad made contact, so perhaps he's not the missing part of your life, but you're the missing part of his, and if he's struggling to go through with meeting you in person again, maybe it's because he's got issues too. I'd be scared of finally meeting up with a family member who I'd left three years ago, 'cos I'd be worried they'd hate me. I hope you feel better soon and resolve things with your dad
thanx for the vid im 16 and i have depression im on some sort of tablet 100m and its not really working for me i feel so alone and its hard to go to school and eveything because i feel like running away from everything everyday it sux and i really wish it wud go away sometimes i just wont to end it all
If your tablets aren't working, the best thing to do is talk with your doctor - see if there's an alternative medication, or other methods such as counselling that you could explore. Tablets aren't a quick fix, and won't get rid of whatever it was that made you depressed in the first place - that's something that you need to face, which can be done sometimes just by talking to someone else about how you feek & why you feel that way.
I am a 24 year old male and I dont know if I have medical depression. I get so down sometimes I that all I want to do is curl up in my bed and sleep and wish I never I woke up again. I am too scared to go and see a doctor as I guess deep down I am a little ashamed. There are times when I am alone and all I want to do is cry but I cant seem to get the tears out which makes it worse. I do feel so alone a lot of the times. Please, is anyone able to help?
It does sound like you're quite down, I wouldn't want to personally say that you're depressed, as I'm not a doctor, and depression is different for everyone. Depression is more common than you might think, & it's nothing to feel ashamed of. People think it's a sign of weakness if you admit you can't cope; when really it's a very brave thing to do, it takes a lot of courage to sit in front of someone and tell them how you feel, but once you do it, it feels better.
first of all i hope that your doing better now =] i have within the last few months been diagnosed with severe depression...im 17 years old...and tbh i kno when it started...ive been feeling this way for 4 years...Ive been put on fluoxitine n its not working at all =[ I'll try ur meathod n c if it helps
With depression, I think it's different 4 everybody, & it's just a case of trial & error 2 find what works 4 u. I stopped takin fluoxetine 6 months ago as it didn't seem 2 make a difference after a while, & I figured that the worst was over & I could cope with just the support of my family. Right now, I feel ok, I have my down days, where I don't want to get out of bed, or I feel like cryin at the littlest thing, such as breaking a plate, but I'm doin ok & I hope u find somethin that works 4 u
I have depression that for some wierd reason, I hide very well. For example, if I go see my doctor, I don't burst out crying. When i'm alone I tend to cry alot. I'm probably lucky to some people but for some reason I feel like the most loneley person on the planet.
I'm the same with hiding mine - but I am feeling better lately and have voluntarily stopped taking the meds. I still feel pretty down at times though and have a cry when no-one's around. I felt really lonely when I was at my worst, but I found it helpful to talk to others who had been through the same thing.
Yeah, it's a negative kind of word, but i think whichever way it's phrased, the overall feelings involved are pretty similar. Support from other people in the same situation means a lot to me :o)
I've had it for a year as a result of long term stressful conditions. Hopefully, when everything is back to normal (or close to!) I can think about stopping the meds :o)
That's when I was told to take it too, but a friend of mine takes it in the morning. It must just depend on what your GP thinks is right, but I guess they have different opinions
I could NEVER talk Prozac in the evening, as it would keep me AWAKE! Love your accent. You look young enough to be my daughter. I'm nearly 52 and have been on some medication or another since I was nine (1964). It took years but I have finally been diagnosed with Bipolar II. I have a lovely daughter who is 11 and an incredible husband who support me through all my turmoil. I am so lucky. Good luck to you, sweetheart. Journaling is excellent, by the way.
I'm the only person I know of who takes it in the evening, it's kinda strange, but you know doctors! Family support is everything whatever trial a person is going through
That was really, really lovely to watch (not saying I'm glad you have depression!). It was very calming for me. You're a beautiful person who I admire for coping well with your situation and actually doing something about it.
Depression has pretty much ruined the last 3 years of my life and there've been times where I've almost given up but I'm still here and fighting. Exercise, friendships and chocolate help *a lot*!
That writing down your questions and answering them for yourself later, that's a great idea. That's similar to something in the 15-week program I mentioned in my vid. It kind of gets those thoughts out until you're READY to deal with them. In the meantime, you go on about your business. Thanks for this vid. It's excellent.
hi , i suffer clinical depression ( unipolar) i sympathise with you im on 150mg of zoloft , which was working but doesnt seem to be now , if ever u need a friend to talk to im here "o) ^A^ ((HUG))
I agree the medication helps, and Rich is amazing in every way possible. Things will get better eventually, it just feels like our life ia a movie, and someone hit the pause button. Hopefully, the play button will get pressed soon! :o)
i see what you mean about gettin up in the morning im a late bird i used to get up at 5 pm but i started a new job yesterday (7 till 1) n things seem 2 b gettin better but time will tell hope tingz go ok charli n i hope
hey charli ,i was diagnosed with depression about 5 yrs ago i tried the depressants but decided to go it alone ive been ok until now n things just seem to get worse and worse depression is the most evil things in our world n the only way to beat it is to find happiness n get as much as you can ,rich gave u an awesome v-day all the best jamie.
Thanks Bette, Chris, Matt, Carmen & Syd for your kind comments and support. I was a bit anxious about putting this video up and you've shown me I had nothing to worry about. I guess in some ways, Video Blogging is another way of journalling, a good way especially if you're not the best at puttbg your thoughts down on paper/the screen. Hugs to all!!
Charli, you are so sweet. I love to listen to you. I agree with the journaling thing it has been very theraputic for me in the past. It has helped to get things clear in a confused mind. I alwayes though try to complete each negative thought with hope. Counteract it with a positive. Then focus on that positive. Thanks for sharing...Syd
I also I had therapist suggest for me ask family and friends to make a list of my good charateristics. Then he said write these things down later and put them on my bathroom mirror (or someplace where it can be seen first thing in the morning). I was dignosed with major depression with post tramtic stress sydrome&post partum issues three years ago.
That is a great suggestion. Writing is very theraputic, that is why I write poetry. I read some eating foods with omega 3 fatty acids, like salmon,nuts,sunflowerseed kernals etc help in stablizing your moods. I tried this and it worked.
It's great that you share this with us.I know how hard it can be to share with others this type of topic.hopefully by watching peoples vids on depression we can get a better view of how it affects us in differnt ways.
Take care Tipps! and no matter what life throws at you,BE STRONG!
Bravo for making this video. I am on meds for anxiety/depression and find journaling(similar to what you mentioned) a big help. Also, walking my dog everyday for at least 20 min. helps clear the fog. Be well sweetie. hugs, Chris
it's great for you to talk about your illness, Charli. It is a huge help to people, trust me! I have had issues with panic attacks my life long (they come, they go, they come again) and I have gotten tremendous comfort and support from various fellow sufferers on youtube. (see next)
hmmm. looks like my part 2 was swallowed by the YT black hole. I just told you I had a smiliar experience when a cat of mine died years ago and I write her a letter. it got all my grief and feelings on paper and then I could stop grieving because I had saved my grief/thoughts in a safe place, if you know what I mean. anyway... you are brave to share and thank you for that.

talking to doctors don't help...what can doctors do except hand out prescriptions for tablets?
if tablets were the answer we wouldn't feel depressed.
depression comes on us for many reasons..some are to do with living in a troubled society where frustration and problems are building up.
i'm just about ready to call it a day with my life...i don't want to do it because i don't want to hurt my family.
if i didn't have them i would end this crap life straight away.
why should we endure a crap life
