I'm not really talking about, "wow, its a down day..." ...I have clinical depression... and somedays, its more difficult than others to cope with things. Today is one of those days, I suppose. I realize this isn't a depression board, and I am a member of several.. but seems like I could use a bit of ranting from time to time, so if I ever come in here, and just start.. I don't know... *crying and throwing things, beating the hell out of pillows, and screaming* .... you know its nothing you all did...
Today's main theme for me is that I want isolation... yet I don't... (which makes no sense.. I suppose) But every time I get *alone* then I get angry, "what, doesn't anyone want to be around me?!" kind of attitude... and I hate that, I dislike that I do that, or even think that way, its juvenile, its contradictory.. and I wouldnt want someone to treat (or think) that way either... *sigh* ...
Maybe seeing it, is part of the battle for me... I am aware of how stupid this all seems, *IS* ... now to do something constructive about it... that's the trick...
Thanks for letting me vent here...

leeroy jenkins said:I know I have at least a mild case or worse variety of depression. There were days I would have to force myself to eat because I had no cravings for food. I know a few times I got in trouble at work because of it. My solution is just to tough it out, but this isn't for everyone. I do this because I am a cheap bastard and don't wanta pay for meds and I know tomorrow can be a better day, I just need to make it there. I suggest Rebellious that you do whatever it takes to get you back on an upswing short of breaking the law.
Emma_Ray_Garrett said:That's good advice. Personally, I have zero desire to be doped up on meds that take away my sex drive and leave me a 'unfeeling' zombie. That's what happened for the short time I allowed medical doctors to fuck with my head.
Now, I take a pill that's perfectly natural, has no side effects, leaves my sex drive alone, leaves me able to feel, without as much rage. Yes, I'm still pissed off, ROFL, but it's not so in your face. I don't 'snap' so easily. What I take isn't for everyone, but it works for me. And I can buy it at Wal-Mart, or any store like it including some pharmacies, for little money.
LOL, I just realized I didn't name it. It's 5-HTP.
At Lit, I recommend taking Brioche up on her kind offer. I also recommend this thread:Rebellious_Sub said:Sometimes, I get ...severely depressed.

leeroy jenkins said:I might take a look at this, by my personality I have a quick temper. Most of the time its just at an annoyed or a bit mad level, but I can remember about 6 months ago I was shaking with fury and near tears because I was so mad.
If I'm near tears, or crying, [BOLD]everyone[/BOLD] would be running for cover, LOL. But I know exactly what you mean. Before I took 5-HTP I was in a near state of rage nearly every waking moment. Yes, my temper is still hot, LOLOL, but I don't go off for no reason anymore. Well, at least not much, LOL!
On the depression side, My adopted sister in law takes some meds for ??. I feel sad for her because in the quest not to suffer from whatever it is, she also seems to level out any Highs to ease the lows. So she lives in the middle without any seemingly high or low points.
Emma_Ray_Garrett said:That's one of the ways most anti-depressants work. They stop the swings by blocking seratonin, the hormone that helps to dictate mood. So no more high-highs in order to avoid the low-lows. *shrug* If it works for whomever, then I can't and won't cast doubt. It's just not for me.
What's nice about 5-HTP is that instead of blocking your seratonin receptors it simply supplements, naturally, what you make. So if your seratonin receptors don't grab as much as they should - based on what your body produces- 5-HTP gives you a dose of MORE. More seratonin available for the receptors, more even mood.
A bit off topic, but have any of you seen "What The Bleep Do We Know?" It's a movie about physics. That the science, not the para-science, LOL. It's fascinating, absolutely fascinating.
And my rant for the day, not a big one but -- why in the hell does my cat have to get under my feet ONLY when my hands are full of something? Twice today he's tripped me up, once when I had plates full of food for the kidlets and once when I had a couple of twelve packs in my arms. Damn it, my big toe is still throbbing!
your boo boo*
graceanne said:I'm sorry, rebellious. I've been there, too. *hugs* I also hate taking pills. Actually those words don't truelly express how I feel about pills. I HATE TAKING PILLS! There, that's better. I haven't counted my daily pills recently, but I believe I'm up around 15 or so. In my case if I don't take them I get really sick. *sigh* I'm glad you found something un-chemical to help you out. As for the depression, come here and bitch. It always helps me to vent.

brioche said:Wwll, the good news is that I am teaching Kindergarten next year. One class JK, one class JK/SK, and both at the same school.
The bad news is that the principal is a bitch who I've recently lost respect for.
Sigh.
