I need help with my depression

Simply a Rose to brighten your day,         And maybe lessen the cares in your way;         And also, too, to help you to know,         That in knowing you, many others grow!

  The best thing would be to see a counselor or therapist. Otherwise, find someone you can talk with and air out your emotions and thoughts.

Fun Mail a “sounding board”!

I would assume that you can’t talk about what you are going through with anyone because it is too personal and you don’t want others to know about it in relation to you.

The solution, then, might be to pick someone on Fun Advice whose advice you like and Fun Mail them. (You can check out the quality of someone’s advice by clicking on their name; going down to their recent advice, click on view all, then click on the questions that might interest you and view their answers.) Explain to them that you are having problems and want to have someone to use as a “sounding board” and would like to know if they would be willing to be your sounding board. Fun Mail is basically private, so you shouldn’t have any concerns about your privacy.

Although there are many users on Fun Advice who would be qualified, I’d suggest the person be an Advisor, for two reasons: First, most Advisors have several hundred or even thousands of Answers under their belt which can really give you a perspective about them; and second, you can simply click on the Advisors link at the top of the page and view a list of the most recently active Advisors with information about them AND a total of their Answers. (Don’t contact them by that “Ask me a question” link. That’s public. Instead, click on their name which will take you to their Profile page, then click on the “Send me Fun Mail” link on the left side of the page.)

You also have the ability to Fun Mail anyone (Advisor or otherwise) by clicking on the “Send me Fun Mail” link near the top of the Answer under the person’s name.

I’ve suffered through depression for a VERY long time. Sometimes it seems like nothing will help. See a psychiatrist and a therapist. They really help. Trust me. The psychiatrist can analyze your situation from a medical point of view and the therapist is to help you learn to cope with life’s curveballs and is just someone to talk to if you need it.

hi maybe your not getting enough sleep, drinking too much, not doing exercise, are you eating healthy? All these sorts of things lead to a happy mind - I know you might not believe its that simple but its true. Also keep urself busy like work, study, help others, etc… Good luck
