Um, yeah, I just read a post by you that
said:
i am not depressed....
I was wondering why everyone thought I was
depressed......I put suicide attempts but
I meant to put social phobia......Sorry
about the confusion.
Then I replied, but you had deleted it.
Here is the thing...Either you tried to
kill yourself or you didn't. People who
try to kill themselves are in fact
depressed in one way or another. And the
whole "suicide attempt" thing was
obviously not a typo as you listed your
attempts. If you are just making things
up here, that is very, very ignorant.
People who suffer from anxiety/depression
go through a lot of hell and do not need
made fun of. If you do not suffer from
the above then please stop wasting honest
people's time. These conditions are not
joking matters. Thank you.

Too Tired to Think of a Topic Posted: 08-18-04 01:35am
I'm not making things up. I was
depressed and I did try to kill myself a
few times, but i'm not depressed right now
and I don't need help for my depression
right now. Right now I mostly need help
with my anxiety not depression. If I
start to get depressed again maybe i'll
post a new message that i'm feeling
depressed, but i'm not depressed right
now. I deleted my message because I
accidently put it as new topic. It was
supposed to be a reply. Do you
understand? I'm sorry I made a few
mistakes.

I don't mind if you made "mistakes"
fyi, if you suffer from depression
(especially severel enough to attempt
suicide) then even though you don't "feel
sad" you are still depressed!
Sorry if I misunderstood this whole thing,
but you have to look at it my way.
You came here listing your suicide
attempts and then make a post saying that
you don't know why people think you are
depressed, and then suddenly delete it.
If that doesn't seem odd then I don't know
what does.
But if it was a mistake fine. There is
no need to get snotty.

Right Now I'm Feeling Depressed Posted: 08-18-04 21:08pm
I know yesterdy I complained that I wasn't
depressed, but today I feel sad. I don't
know why. Feel free to give me
suggestions on how to feel better. I even
went for a two 15 minute walks today. I
walk about 5 times a week, but it does
very little for depression. Sometimes
when I walk I start to plan my sucide
attempts. Today I didn't plan any sucide
attempts. I started to feel more
depressed after work.

You need to get therapy. Try cbt, or
meds. You definately need to get
something to make you feel better.
Purple333 can (if she hasn't already) give
you a list of vitamins/supplements to take
to make you feel better.
Try walking for more than 15 minutes at a
time. Take headphones and listen to
music so you don't think too much and
start planning a suicide.

Sometimes I do walk father than 15 minutes
at a time and I still think about sucide,
but i'll think about listening to my
music. I want to take fish oil for
depression and magnesium for anxiety, but
I feel like i'm taking so many medications
at once that I don't feel like adding
another pill. I already know what your
going to say. "try getting your vitamins
from food". Ok i'll try that. I already
take supplements mostly for anxiety, but
the only vitamin i'm taking for depression
is a vitamin b complex.

Are you actually taking meds or just
vitamins? Because if you are taking meds
then you definately need to get them
switched as they are obviously not
working. Go to therapy frequently and try
thinking positively. Don't focus on the
bad all of the time. That would drive
any of use to be suicidal. Good luck.
