That's very kind of you to offer such a thing to people Blitzkreig. The world can do with more generous people such as yourself, it would indeed make the world so much brighter. You should definitely try and open up about your own things to those who can help, even just someone who is somewhat out of your usual circle that can understand or has been through something or things similar to some degree it might help. :)
anyone have Irritable Bowel Syndrome? Looks like it can tie in with anxiety and depression too. I have it and I cant leave the house for more than 10 minutes before I feel like im going to have a code red all over someones walls
My mom does. And she says she has bipolar / depression / ADHD. Shes not me though so I can't say any more than that, really, because I don't know any more than that.

He eats a lot of things like Rice and bread it apparently helps him feel a bit better and it also causes a sort of.... block. So you don't need to go quite as much and it's not as bad when you do. I'm not sure if it will work with you or if you've already tried it. If you haven't try giving it a go. Could at-least be a little bit helpful. :)
Hey people I've been prescribed Arpax (paroxetine) for 6 months at 10mg which is half a pill. I'm being treated I guess you could say an eating disorder which I developed after having a parasitic stomach infection for 8 months. Can anyone give me some basic info on this, I've read alot of the crap on the net and the most worrying thing is coming off the pill in 6 months with the withdrawal symptoms and so on.

I've been I guess sad is a good term for it for a good while now. It seems like any accomplishment I achieve is soon followed by this heavy kind of sadness that just clots everything, I guess I've been coming to grips with not being able to be happy for an entire day considering it's been like this for the past four five years at least. I don't know if it's depression or what not but it's been dogging me for a long while. I don't really know where I went with this ramble but yeah.
In my mind I feel extremely conflicted and I hate it. In front of my friends I'm this happy-go-lucky person who is pretty much the crazy-comedy type, but by myself I'm a depressed person who gets even worse patches of depression. I've been coping with it over the past few months, but of late it has taken a turn for the worse, I now find myself going through sudden depression at the most random times, even when in front of family & friends which never happened until a month ago, making a sandwich or looking at my socks are the ones that happened today. I blame all this on Gender Dysphoria, I can't say I'm unhappy with my male body but I just simply wish that I was born a girl. I do crossdress a lot in private, specially when my parents are not here for a long period of time and have been slowly pushing it such as wearing a bra when I went shopping with my parents (I wore a huge jumper over the top to hide it) But what I hate is that my decision on if I should go to the GP and tell him about this directly and try undergo HRT swings back and fore, like one moment I'd be all "Fuck it, Fuck everything. I'll do it" then 10 minutes later I will be in huge doubts about everything, wondering if it would be worth doing at all. I was bullied a lot of my early school life and was a very big loner back then, but over the past 7 years or so I've finally been able to get a great bunch of friends and been able to achieve things I would have thought impossible a few years ago. I fear if I go ahead with being trans I'll end up going back to being bullied, ridiculed and ruin everything I've worked up and loose everything I love. And ontop of that I have no idea how my entire family would react if I was to tell them, My parents, my 12 year old sister and grandparents being the main ones I care about and also not forgetting my friends. I fear about going to my GP about it, just purely out of being scared and I can't tell my parents I'm feeling depressed as pretty much everyone in my family who has had depression has tried to kill themselves, and few even succeeded, I don't want them to worry and it revolves back into the "I have no idea how my family will react" Overall I just wish this feeling would simply go away, but it seems I've been running from it for too long and now it's all finally catching up with me in this one huge punch. I feel that I tell the world, even if it is from a different account, will help me.

my dad says anger and depression are the same thing but anger is directed outward and depression is directed inward
[QUOTE=Checkers;33915946]my dad says anger and depression are the same thing but anger is directed outward and depression is directed inward[/QUOTE] Sounds like someone else attempting to understand something they have no clue about, to be honest I fail to find any truth to that statement, self-hate is only a piece of depression and hate is only a piece of anger [editline]27th December 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Jamie1992GSC;33898447] By the way Zeke I forgot to ask, which part of Canada do you live in?

Even then, Zeke, the self hate I've felt has never been an 'angry' type of hate. Its more like an acknowledgment of guilt.

So I got back from celebrating christmas with my parents (short end of the stick at work meant I got the ass schedule and had to drive for four hours over the mountains after christmas dinner to get home and to bed and then wake up five hours later) and after punching out I'm asked to go to the office. I lost my job. It officially ends on clock-out on December 31. .....[b][i]WHAT?![/b][/i] I was totally not prepared for this [i]at all[/i]. I only have $1300 in savings and that will be slashed to $545 in the next few days as I pay the monthly rent and bills. Last time it took me almost two months to find a replacement job in this awful job market but then I had almost $2000 pooled ($900 of that was from a separate savings because I was going to go with friends to Tokyo in summer 2012 but oh well, I guess that's not happening) so I was able to survive but if I don't get something within the first month, I'm fucked. Again. Why? [i]why??[/i] At this point in life I could care less about getting a girl or a house to call my own. I just want a fucking fair paycheck that pays the bills without a cold sweat every two weeks because I didn't make commission estimates or I worked half the hours I expected.
Is there a reason why you lost it? If you're just being laid off for whatever reason, file for EI [i]now[/i]. If you're being fired, make them give you a damn good reason or fight it.
VICTORY. I finally convinced my bi-polar friend to go to the doc. (pretty fucking positive he's bi-polar, when he has 11 mood swings in a single day, from manic to depressive and vise versa, and has a family history)

If you're being fired, make them give you a damn good reason or fight it.[/QUOTE] I'm still on EI from the last job. I just suspended my payments for the last month because my pay was improving up until this last pay session. I was laid off because my department apparently had enough part/full time workers the off-season load however I was told the seasonal frame was three months, not two. I was expecting the decision to come down next month. If ou are asking why Iw as not seasonal and not directly in part/full time it's Costco's fucked system. Everybody except management starts seasonal and as time progresses they either say they don't need you or offer you a part/full time job. So now here I am trying to find a job again at the low part of the year when nobody is looking for employees.

How long am I going to stay depressed, I fucking hate it.
I'm often sad for almost no reason at all. Ugh, I don't know if what I'm doing in my life is right or not.
Ugh, lowest self esteem in my entire life This is going to be a long week.
So what are your new years resolutions facepunch?
To not be such a failure as I was this year. And to probably stop cutting myself, my arms have more cuts than I can count.
:( Mine are basically the same as your first, except more specific.
What did I miss? Did someone kill themselves yet? [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Trolling / Stop posting in this thread" - Asaratha))[/highlight]
Not cool man
Sorry if I'm not telling you guys anything new here, but you can go to a doctor if you have depression. Seriously! It's a medical illness and not a state-of-mind issue. Chemical imbalance is a real thing and can be solved with medication. [editline]1st January 2012[/editline] Hey that's not funny!!! :(
