I forgot to ask Bodds...what did he do with that prescription for Seroxat (paroxetine) he received?

He realised it was worthless on discovering it's not a recognised treatment for being a chronic attention-seeker.

I've talked to plenty of people (not any professionals, just family etc.). I have my ups and downs (mostly downs), but I never really considered myself "officially" depressed, just... um... unmotivated, shy, whatever.

But if other people get on prozac for this...

If you are young, you will most likely grow out of it.

If you're over 20, you should start taking risks socially. Teach your mind how to be confident.

Mercator, please ignore him. If you wait to 'grow out of it', chances are you will have topped yourself before you have a chance to see if it works. As for taking risks socially...likely to lead to being a victim of crime, alcoholism or drug addiction. Oh aren't I a little ray of sunshine?!

So AD's are almost certainly LESS over prescribed than antibiotics.

Possibly, although there is much pressure in the UK for docs not to prescribe antibiotics, so they are a lot less over prescribed than they used to be. But yes, that is probably true.

Yeah, you know enough about neurochemistry to get you an £11k job doing filing and admin duties.

I'll earn £220 this week.

Aren't they about the same? I earn ~£200 per week and that equates to a ~£10800pa salary

I think one outward sign of depression is when you start trying to make yourself look the way you feel.

Having insomnia is one of those things that any good nurse could diagnose with a wet-nap in about 5 seconds.

The onset of depression can often be traced to a specific period of time in a person's life when an otherwise normal-looking person will begin to put effort into looking bad. That way, the picture you see in the mirror looks the way you feel.

Verres, you're taking me out of context.

You have to be smart about it of course.

[st_swithin]

Project Mayhem indeed. I hope you two have receipts for all that sh1t.

you guys post too much too quickly and not enough about me

[Q Classic]

guys like you make me sick

do you realize that all my unhappiness is YOUR fault?

actually, it's a nasty cycle. believe what you will. i had trouble going to see a shrink--still do. it was only the threat of being asked to leave school that made me seek any assisstance, medication or counseling. i didn't take the medication i was prescribed for a full week after i got it because i don't like the idea of pills screwing around with my head.

because i have this belief that i should be the rock others rely on, rather than relying on others, i didn't ask my friends for any support.

obviously, i was unable to work through it alone. when it's something chemical, completely unrelated to the situation, it doesn't matter how good the situation is.

'course, believe what you will. i don't care, and i don't need to convince you. as a matter of fact, don't bother trying to walk in my shoes for a mile: i'll tell you, you wouldn't like it, because you'd have everything to live for, and be unable to function at anything other than the most basic level. and it's not worth it, because you'd be like me. you'd never ask for help on your own, because remember, it's a matter of will.

I get a bus at 7:00, that's why I am in bed at a decent time. The longer you spend sleeping while it is light outside, the more depressed you get it seems.

I'm over 20...

Yeah, I'll just snap my fingers.

It's not just my complete lack of a social life that is the problem. And I am quite confident actually, about most things anyway, but I just can't seem to get myself to do anything.

But thanks Lorizael (for starting the thread) and all the others. I talked to my parents about it now, and I guess I'll be making an appointment with my doctor soon.

But I wanna!!

I'm bored of this thread now, I think we've all said our piece, lets just agree to disagree. I know what I think, we all do, so lets not waste our time and start debate something debatable.

Glad I could help!
