It's a very hard thing to shake, but I am finally going to a therapist after all theses years, now I feel nothing at all, and to me ,feeling no emotion is worse than feeling sad. I would rather feel something than feel nothing. I could only wish that I would someday feel happiness. That I could bring true joy and laughter into my life. Being depressed is no way to live a happy life. It only brings you down and forces you to accept it. It throws away your dreams and hurts your future. I wish there was something that I could do to make it go away, please help me..

I am writing to you because I was in love with a very depressed man. Through the relationship I realized that this depressed man was once a depressed child. It got me interested about childhood depression. While its taboo I believe it needs to be talked about and I really appreciate you guys writing about it. I am currently making a short film about childhood depression and any help would be greatly appreciated! Here is a link to my project so you can take a look at it yourself. I really hope to shed some light on the dangers of it and make people aware that depression in children does exist.

Just want to get away from my life and be alone, be free. I get very irritated easily. Life just isn't fun anymore. I don't want to even go home at the end of the day. Simple things can evoke a crying fit. Am I slipping into a depression? Would chnging my life help? Completely unfocused lately with no direction; no real desire.

Am I slipping into a depression? Would chnging my life help?

I been in a deep depression and currently on prozac for about a year now. This list is exactly how I feel and I think anybody who is depressed can also relate. Since I'm only 16 some people view adolescent depression as a " phase " but it effects everyone in various ways. It really is a disease of the mind and sometimes I wish it would just go away but it feels as if depression is now my personality. I think depression should be taken more seriously. Thanks for putting up this list. Hey. I been in a deep depression and currently on prozac for about a year now. This list is exactly how I feel and I think anybody who is depressed can also relate.

I get it too. The attacks are so strange. Out of nowhere things I have taken for granted like seeing, hearing, or walking are all of a sudden frightening and confusing. It's almost as if I've crossed into territory I shouldn't be in. Like I've gotten to close to figuring out why I've been put here and I'm being punished for being so close. It makes everything I see too contrasted, and almost unbearable to look at. My hands don't seem like my own. It makes me question if anything is real at all. It throws me into a sense that I'm dreaming. I have learned to control my attacks to some extent by repeating in my mind, "It will pass. Nothing has changed. You've been here before. You'll be okay." It seems to put an end to them more quickly and gives me a small feeling of accomplishment. ALE: The feeling of not knowing how or why things are happening sounds like anxiety. I get it too.
