Really having problems with depression, curious on suggestions where to go from here

[InTheHole]

alcohol is a depressant in itself. therefore if you are having anxiety/depression issues it will only make it worse.

Additionally, it turns off our natural instinct (what we hopefully learned sober growing up)...that life is all about sharing our experiences (the good and the bad) with people we care about. Nothing more...nothing less.

 

[Rubyn]

I don't like sharing my deep, dark secrets with anyone, I don't care who or what they are to me. I have done it before, but I don't like it.

You know, when times get bad....and they do for all of us from time to time....I vent and then get the fuck over it. There is a solution to every problem, whether it be getting the fuck over it or sticking a gun in your mouth. But I don't condone the latter.

do not get shit faced, but have a drink, it is a good thing. Don't listen to these idiots.

stevek is easily one of my favorite posters on here or sbr so this struck a chord with me

One of two things needs to happen asap Steve:


You need to talk to a professional or

You need to begin a vigorous exercise program that does not include drinking alcohol.


Have you spoken to your fiancee about this steve?

I like Daft but he is wrong.

Do not talk to a professional. They are overpriced pieces of shit. They do nothing of any value.

Maybe exercise, eat a little better, get some more sleep. But why stop drinking? Why stop doing something that brings pleasure to your life.

steve I'm here to help.

fiver, stfu. Depression and anxiety are not "situational". stevek, do talk to a professional. A lot of the horror stories you've heard about are things of the past.

 

[fiveteamer]

Depression most certainly can be situational, what are you talking about you French fucker.

Not saying that steve's depression is situational, but it can be at times.

Gambling by it's very nature is a narcissistic and self-centered endeavor. We don't talk about it. I would guess that 7 out of every 10 gamblers have moderate to severe interpersonal problems.

Situational mood swings aren't disorders. That's my point. An actual doctor will be able to tell the difference between the two.

 

[fiveteamer]

Well I must have been in a situational mood disorder for 5 fucking years then.

 

[InTheHole]

Teamer...I place you with myself in the fucked up class. We are an elite group. We relate to everything human superficially but love our animals deeply.

 

[fiveteamer]

I hate these two fucking pugs, they are not even mine.

 

[Rubyn]

Fiver, let's do a shot.

Dependent on the course of the disorder. Situational depression can qualify as an adjustment disorder. Depression over a specific time-frame, whether endogeous or exodogeous, is depression, the source affects prescription for treatment.

You are rotten inside.

It's kinda hot when you sound professional and all

ITH, that's a lot of big words to say the same thing I did - stevek needs to consult.
