I was depressed for a good 4 years and it got pretty bad at one point, everything everyone says is true, exersize, talk to friends and fam, really the imortant thing is to not withdraw, you may feel like it, and you wont want to do anything, but you have to keep pluggin or you'll never get better, if it gets so bad that you cant even do day to day activities, (BEEN THERE) then seek professional help, sometimes talking to friends just doesn't get to the root of the problem...if the depression is purely a chemical imbalance, and not the result of some nueroses or seasonal thing, then pills will do a great job helping you feel better. Just remember, no matter how bad it gets, life goes on, and you have a whole lot more living to do..if you ever have consistent thoughts about ending it all, call the suicide hotline(the # is ONLINE)its anonymous and can be used as a great release for pent up emotions...I could recommend a lot more things that i found helpful, but i really dont know your specific condition within the realm of depression, hope i was able to help you out..if you ever wanna talk and cant find anyone to talk to just PM me.. whatever you're feeling, no judgment calls, im just here to listen, because a lot of the time thats what everyone really needs... PS - HEY ERIC< LONG TIME NO SEE! you goin out this weekend? :hat:
