Depression in my life?

[Anonymous]

i have had depression since i was 7. Im almost 23 now. And it is getting very bad. I have tried numerous medications, ate healthy, Gymed, gone to physiatrists, psychologists, talked to priests, friends, help online. You name it and I have tried it. This has taken up my life. I feel like my life has been paused for years. Can someone please help me. I need help. Please someone help me.

I was also affected by (albeit mild) form of depression, and I got over it as soon as I realised the root cause. Are you maybe pursuing things that you don't really want? Have your parents pressured you into a life you didn't want? Just ask yourself what would make you happier, and try and stem from there... if you want to talk feel free to message me:) xo

I dont like my degree, but have no idea what rlse to do instead, but that is not the reason, as my depression is quite severe at the moment. I dont know what will make me happier. Thank you!

Well if you don't like your degree that's a start... although this sounds really frilly try and surround yourself with 'happy' things, and try to get out into society...

Ill take what you said into account. Thank you

I assume you're currently seeing a psychiatrist. If not, you need to be. Ask them about such non-drug treatments are cognitive behavioral therapy and transcranial magnetic stimulation.

But don't give up on drugs just because you haven't _yet_ found the combination that works for you.

I have used different drugs for over 15 years

You are your own doctor. First you must find the reason behind it.

[Asker]

I dont know the reason. I know that i feel incredibly lonely

[JenSCDC]

There often is no reason for being depressed other than your brain chemistry being screwed up.

[Asker]

And would have caused it to screw up

Read spiritual books
That's how I cured mine

[Asker]

I have read many spiritual books though? What types do you read?

[Opinion Owner]

Just in general, books about life of prophet and so on

I also read articles

And also not thinking about negative stuff.
I used to think about future too much and make myself sad that "What if I never get cured?" "What if I get married and this still stays?"
