Hi,

i suffer from depression alot, and also have friends that have depression. If I find that other peoples problems are pulling me down too much then I do limit myself to how much time I spend with them. However, I do not leave them all together and I am very thankful to my friends that have stuck by me, even when they have been depressed - it as helped me loads. But at the same time, when they disapear, I understand their feelings that they just want to get away from everyone and isolate themselves too.

I think it is really hard helping others who are depressed, because it's more of a long term illness.

How are you trying to help your depression? Are you on medication or recieving any therapy?

Hi,

i was on cipralex, but I decided to come off it about two weeks ago. I've been taking a dose every few days.
