Taking ectasy gave me depression and all sorts. Persecution complex, anxiety, paranoia, disassociation with reality. The whole loony bin of complexes. Stopped taking them and faced reality. You got to start with the basics again. My name is whoever, I'm just a guy living in wherever, I'm just an ordinary punter amongst millions. No more no less. Repetition reinforces beliefs in your head. If you look in the mirror and tell yourself your an alien from outer space you'll start acting and feeling like one eventually. Got to positively reinforce yourself. Gus used to tell mike tyson every time he sparred he was beautiful, there wasn't anyone out there as good as him. No one belonged in the same ring as him. It took hold after a while until he believed it. We'll you seen the results of that. Most devastating puncher in near boxing history. You're a self fulfilling prophecy. You become what you believe you are. Therefore you can be your own best friend or your own worst enemy. Shakespeare said I think therefore I am. That's what this means

I did pretty badly a long time ago it's unfortunate that I had to try and attempt suicide for me to realize just how bad I was. After that it was sheer will and a little divine help that got me out of it, my old self and I was reborn in a sense. Took a while, but I got through it.

I'm never sure cause I haven't been diagnosed by a doctor or anything and I'm sure as hell not gonna diagnose myself, it's too serious of a thing. I mean, I've been through some rough shit, there were times when I was crying literally everyday and I sometimes didn't even know why, I've thought about suicidr and stuff. But it hasn't been THAT bad in a while, I'm pretty content with my emotions now, I don't think I'm depressed at the moment.

Yeah, I have/had it pretty bad. Honestly it may sound weird but every day I would tell myself I'm beautiful and worthy in the mirror. I lived by "fake it until you make it" that way people would treat me normally instead of being cautious around me which helped so much. After awhile I just felt like I was getting better, slowly stopped harming myself over about the course of two years. I'm 452 days clean and feeling awesome.

No diagnosis. But I went through hell. The girl I used to love slept with 2 of my best friends. I got fired from my job. I lived on the streets for a while drinking every day doing drugs. I started cutting myself and nearly jumped off a bridge. I was going crazy. Took me a while to get back on my feet. You realize that life has its ups and downs and its your choice to feel happy or not. My high school principal had saying which I thought was stupid "Make it areat day or not , the choice is yours."

I had it last year. And it was diagnosed and I got medication, but I didn't really use the medication (only took the anxiety pills not the other one for 2 weeks) because I felt I had to work on myself mentally without medication. It lasted for about 6 months but I think I got over it in September. Still shaky though this is way I'm giving myself a period of 5 other months to bring my life together,

Had it in my teens but I wouldn't call what I had clinical depression, just chronic. Honestly I think I just grew out of it. Also leaving high school made it basically disappear. My high school sucked, man.

justbanANNAz · Answer

i have been through a time where i was depressed yes. i can't say i was diagnosed because I'm not that person to talk to someone i dont know well about my problems.

I'm pretty sure I'm rid of it by now.

Balcazaurus · Answer

I've never been diagnosed, but I felt it.

Worst year of my life.

Almost took my life a couple times. One was worse than the other.

I basically cried it all out and had a couple of epiphanies as to why I was depressed. I'm good now.

Yeah, I had it when I was in my teens. I started smoking weed and since then my outlook has been much sunnier! lmao

Yes, it never really goes away permanently. Somedays its not a problem and others you feel nothing at all. Not sad, not happy just numb

DamnCurtis · Answer

I saw a therapist. I'm not sure how much it helped, seems locked down/concealed for the most part.  Kinda two faced in that respect.

Lisa22 · Answer

I got out with people more. I took up some crafts.
