but what im trying to say is depression will go away eveutally just give it time n dont do anything stupid

Depression can be cured, but you have to get therapy or meds, there are also some other like natural methods to cure it, dont ask me what, I wasnt clear on this.

I, myself, have had both meds and therapy for my three years of clinical depression and I havent been cured yet, it is terrible. Now dont get me wrong, Ive had better periods but so far it will keep coming back, and each time it comes back - it has come back stronger, driving me to do worse and worse things.

I guess youve REALLY got to work to get rid of it.

yeah im clinically depressed so to cure it i just need to take meds..
but right now it just feels like even with meds it will never go away...

[schrei jess]

Meds cannot cure the depression on its own, they just regulate your moods, what you really need is therapy. You have to talk about your problems in order to solve them and get to feeling better.

butr thats the thing i dont really have that many problems depression literily hit me in 1 day at the beging of the day i was fine at the end i was severly depressed it happened that fast and ever since then i have been depressed
i tried therapy and it didn't help and my therapist said all i need is the right meds to cure the imbalance in my brain..
so im hoping what he said was true..

[schrei jess]

I know what you mean, no event or trauma caused my depression either, it just sort of hit me. It is hereditary in my family.

Anyway, Im not a doctor or therapist, but it sounds like a load of bull what he said. But whatever, I guess he's the doctor and he knows better. Therapy isnt working for me either, nothing is, but I know that if I want this to be cured I have to find the right therapist and really work at it.

But what do i "work on"? its all in my brain thats making me feel like this, so once the chemicals are in balance then you will automaticly feel happy again..

[schrei jess]

You would think that, right, but that isnt how it works. Sure, your depression starts in your brain with all the imbalances and stuff, but things have to keep fueling it on - there has to be things in your life that continue to make you feel depressed, not just your brain screwing up. I get the fact that it is the brain imbalance that is the major problem with you here but there are things in your life that are fueling it. That is what you have to work on.

[thesphinx]

but there isn't anything in my life that is fueling it!
me and my therapist agree that nothing is wrong with my life and the imbalance is just keeping me from feeling happy..

Theres a problem you should talk about.

And if you're so sure that meds will just cure everything away suddenly, then why dont you get some? If that is what both you and your doctor agree on, I dont see why you are asking this question then.

I am on meds, ive tried a couple kinds this kind is working fairly good,
I asked this because i wanted reasurrance that it will go away.
