Topic: I don't feel right
started by: Neophyre
but of late, i've been feeling really depressed, and i've got no idea why.
school has been great, i've got a really good group of friends, but im relatively new to the area and to the school, but i love it so far. I'm not an overly confident person, shy more than anything, i find it difficult getting actively involved in conversations, but i still give it a go. I guess i'm a good person to talk to, and i'll listen.
my previous school years had been pretty bad, i didn't enjoy it at all, i guess something to do with my parents getting divorced and stuff, but now with this school im at now things are great.
yet every morning i wake up and i'm disapointed that i woke up.
even right now, this is the absolute worse i've been feeling in a while, i want to be happy, but i just can't.
sorry if it sounds stupid or anything, i guess i just did this to occupy myself.
which they dont. rightly so. 
its a common psychological issues of kids whos parents break up. dont worry, you're now part of the other 50\% of the fux0red up population.
serisouly tho, i am of the opinion that everyone needs a non-sexual female they can talk to. i.e one that you arent looking to get in her pants, just satisfied to be good friends. they can be great listeners, and talkers
For a very very long thread, search for a thread with the title "Depression"--Michael (who I haven't seen in awhile) must've used up all of his AOL minutes posting on this subject, and most of it, from what I gathered, was accurate. 'Course, it's also populated with its share of lam0rs, but that's DetNet for ya.

I used to be a kleptomaniac, but then I took something for it.
In my experience, only a few people here have the proper perspective on life (or indeed even the ability to comprehend relatively straightforward english sentences) to speak on subjects of depression and anxiety.
You've been warned =)
And with that said...Neo, do you have a girlfriend? Excessive masturbation with no help can lead to depression. My advice: start getting laid.
Speaking of which, Neo, did you ever get your balls fixed?
i dunno, but i guess its just lack of self esteem sometimes.
sometimes i got it, sometimes i dont.
as for the getting laid thing
i'd been in a purely sexual relationship with this chick whom im no longer seeing, so yeh im in desperate need of a serious relationship i guess, i think thats the major thing missing in my life at the moment, and perhaps the reason why im a bit down lately.
like right now im at school and i feel great.
maybe im just a bit whacked out and emotional at night.
fatbitch is right, i do need that type of chick at the moment.

Some depressions really have no better solution that just waiting...Of course if it goes for a year or more, see a psycologist. You'll be fine!

how come no one gives ME any credit for that depression thread??? I'm the dude who started it off with the < antidepressants > thread, which for some reason shows up as being started by DKB even though the first post is mine.

anyway, mr. phyre, I would give it a few weeks to make sure it's not just a passing thing. If in a month or two you're still depressed, go see a counselor. Psychiatry is kind of hokey, but it works.
btw, I'm on Month 3 of Paxil. It's good stuff. Watch that your docs don't jack the dose too high, though, otherwise you'll feel happy but sleepy.
magic smoke - i feel so much better afterwards.
i eat icecream everynight, i watch heaps of stand up shows, eg tom green, Rove (aussie equivalent of letterman), simpsons, pretty much anything that makes me laugh.
ic0n0, i actually used to think of that stuff, but never of the intent of actually doing it. now i think of stuff like, i wonder what it'd be like to fight that guy to the death? i'm constantly sizing people up. Once again, not carrying it through, just thinking about it.
i'm kinda paranoid that way i spose.
the thought of suicide is dismissed quicker than it is thought of. its the easy way out, and im not going that way.
damien, as for the pills, i've been thinking bout it, but im not particulary sure if i need it (and the reduced libido.lol)

need is a pretty strong word... I wouldn't be useless without the pills. I'd just be unhappy and irritable. I don't plan on taking them the rest of my life; it would be cool if I could feel the way I do now WITHOUT Paxil but I'd need a good woman for that... ::sigh::
The only continuing side-effect I've had with Paxil is insomnia. The doc gave me trazodone (an older antidepressant) for that. It makes me sleep better than I have in years, and it's not a "drugged" sleep like Valium or alcohol. I'm gonna keep taking it even after I'm thru with Paxil.
The way to avoid the sexual side effects (usually delayed orgasm) with Paxil is to start off with a low dose, 5 or 10mg. Take this dose until you can reach orgasm reliably (it doesn't take long at that low of a dose). Then increase your dose by 5mg, and repeat the process until you find the dose that works for you.
If you find that Paxil is making you too sleepy, you can reduce your dosage in 5mg increments until you find the right balance. It's weird because it is pretty sensitive to changes in dose - 30mg makes me seriously sedated, 20mg doesn't do much, but 25mg is perfect.
This probably won't work with Prozac because it's in capsule form. With Paxil you can just cut the pills with a pill cutter.
Anyway, Mr. Phyre, I hope you feel better soon.
