Hello all, I am a fellow depressive. I suffered from depression since childhood, and I say this because my mother had told me that she'd ask the doctors why I slept soo much, and even the doctors said that the amount I slept was very unusual, but they couldn't figure out why. I was in my early 20s when I was finally officially diagnosed with major depression; the disease that ran through my father's side of the family. This all helped explain why I lead such an apathetic life. Always feeling tired, lethargic, and a lot of anger/sadness towards myself because I always felt like I kept letting everyone else down, because of my depression and the effects it had on me. I've spoken to shrinks but there was never anything they could tell me that I already didn't know. I've also been prescribed pretty much every pill out there that doctors use to treat depressives- some have worked, but after a little while I'd gain tolerance so the effects would wear off. Though, I am a pretty motivated person, so I did a lot of research on my own because the doctors didn't really help me all that much. 8 years later I got it figured out. Now, I just wanna make sure that everyone else knows what I know, so they can feel as I feel.
I made a little video explaining my theory and showing how to apply it safely.

My theory of depression is its over diagnosed and miss interrupted by people as a illness or a problem. Most depression is chemical imbalance within the brain, others is the new back ache or hypochondria .

Sorry if im sounding harsh, but i have come across people saying they have depression or are depressed, but its due to the fact that there lives are not going the way there going because they have either lost control or had no control nor made anything of themselves.. so it must be depression that's caused it. A kind of "im not to blame.. it must be medical"

But there are really cases of depression which i think should be called something new now, to separate it from the "Bulls**t" depression that most GPs think there diagnosing. I seriously think that only a Psychologist can diagnose real depression.

Anyway there's my 2 cents worth.


I taste nice.

Yah from the start of puberty till about 20 I went through savere bouts of depression. When my mom found out clinicle depression ran in the family on my dads side I got tested.

I decided against medication opting to try to take care of it myself.

It took a few years of exercising my mental will on my self but I beat it.

Lol I was never one to do things the easy way.

And besides it's the journey thats importent.

But for a while there I was sleeping 14 houres a day. And I didn't want to kill my self I just felt like I didn't care if I died.

That the end of humanity was enevidable leaving my life with no meaning...no worthy purpose.

i suffer with depression and it was diagnosed by a councillor ..who refered me back to my Doctor....i have been on medication for about 6 months and it is helping loads...i am told that i will probably need it for a long time...which i am going to do...if it makes me better i will do it..im grdually returning to my old self which is a good sign....for about 8 years i coped with it ..but eventually i needed help ....i grew up with a father who suffered a breakdown so know it is probably hireditary..what got me to this point was 8 years of living a hell excistance...and not telling anyone anything...i ended up suffering terrible panic attacks which was one of the most terrible experiences i ever have had..i am generally a very open and sort of person who liked being amoung others and loved crowds...well my panic attack happened because i was in a crowded place and 6 people walked by me closely...i never want to experience that again and will do whatever possible to continue to get better...x
