Depression?

This place is generally positive, but surely there are some here who go through extended depressed periods?

Not in the clinical, can't get out of bed sort of depression, but just a general blah, sad mood?

This helps me whenever I have a bad day. I was diagnosed recently, had a couple of rough weeks, but am starting to get better. Shit can be really rough sometimes.

coming from someone how is generally a negative, depressing asshole in real life; i don't really believe in depression. i think it's just someone no knowing how to deal with their problems.

you wouldn't agree?
i would say that 80% of depression stems from one traumatic event in someones life that they can't get passed or get over.
a death of someone close, a difficult breakup, an abusive parent, natural disaster, ect.

maybe i'm completely off base here, because i don't talk to very many people about their mental status.

Nope. I'm diagnosed with it and I can say (for my case) its none of that. I'm always a very upbeat person too but even the best have problems. I know other members in my family suffer from it too, and their cases are all different. Yes you can be right that one event can trigger it, but there are other ways its triggered, sometimes it just happens, and sometimes its not what you think it is.

do you think that loneliness and boredom can play in to depression as well?

because i've noticed that when i'm just sitting around not doing anything is when i just get in those shitty moods. if i just go out and go for a bike or a longboard ride i almost instantly feel better.

yes it definitely can. Getting outside and just doing stuff is one of the best things to help me deal with it, because you don't sit there thinking over and over about it (which is what happens to me) It's definitely not all that effects me, but its part of it.

spanks spence :)
And it's really hard to understand, its super different for every single case, and it effects everyone differently. The human brain is an amazing thing.

It's because there is a severe lack of cats on this site.
