I just can't control my depression.

[Provost Harrison]

Well the suggestions in this thread will be evaluated when I feel a bit more enthusiastic and confident and have some inkling what I want to do with my life.

But get your arse into gear Mercator, just remember, it's not that bad when you get stuck into it (although it is bloody hard to convince yourself of that )

[Mercator]

Yes, sir!

Fair point good Dr, I'm sure it helps many people, but I have experience of friends using anti-depressents and getting much worse. I just wanted to offer a friendly warning that antidepressants are right for some people and wrong for others, and you don't know which you are until you try.

Funnily enough Jesus didn't help me.

I don't want to sound like I know everything, I have never been depressed to the point of needing prescription medicine, I can only suggest what helped me.

Get outside in the fresh air, exercise (endorphins do a wonderful things) and increase your comfort zone.

Hey Sikie, I'll be in your neck of the woods (Breckenridge/Frisco) from Dec30 to Jan 5. Want to go for a ski or have a meal or something? Realize it may be a haul for you from the Front Range.

GP,

Crap, why do I always see these long after they are relevant? Next time you are in the area, just drop me a pm or email me. I am pretty good about checking my email every other day at least, and I am on Poly about 5 days a week at work. Anyway, sorry I missed you!

And here's to you Mrs.Harrison,
Jesus loves you more than will know,
Whoa Whoa Whoa
God bless you please, Mrs.Harrison,
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey Hey Hey



Seriously, though, good luck Rich. I hope the pills help you in the immediate future and you are able to find a longer term solution to your problems.

I'll do a better job next time. We can exchange phone numbers since I don't always take my laptop on vacation.

Mrs. Harrison knows I have taken my pills for today

[Provost Harrison]

Woah! Now I can start to feel some effect from this stuff (good effects). I have been out tonight and I felt no anxiety whatsoever and incredibly relaxed and unthreatened, and just laying in bed going to sleep I felt incredibly serene and relaxed, as I do now, and it is, well, strange but nice...

[Provost Harrison]

I mean, the experience when I was laying there relaxing was really weird but nice, and it seemed like flute music was playing in the background...I know that must sound really, really strange, but it is true. And at the moment I feel in an incredibly light, relaxed and...dare I say it...happy mood. And despite the fact that, all in all, it was a sh*t night...it hasn't really rattled me or given me a depressive episode, like it would normally, in the slightest.

[Dr Strangelove]

I don't want to say I told you so, but.....

[TCO]

Without getting too philosophical, do the drugs take away improper feelings of depression or create a false sense of euphoria? Could you use dope or booze to get the proper effects (not a troll or rhetorical question. I really wonder and want to get the Doc's take.)

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

They don't create false states of euphoria, they just tend to prevent the extreme peaks and troughs of emotion. You never feel insanely up about things, or really down about them.
