Depression?

[ai42]

Just wondering as many of you guys like myself spent waaayyy too much time on Anandtech, have diagnoised with depression?
I know I got it, tried to kill myself twice and spent about 4 months in mental hosptials.

just an idea, im bored and im just waitting for First Saturday (for you DFW peeps you know what that is)

i spent the past 3 days not doing homework, skipping school, not even talking to the ladies, to make myself become a Golden Member and then spent time figuring out what the heck UPS was ringing my doorbell delivering the wrong packages

I was diagnosed with major depression with psychotic features a little under a year ago, took medication and went through intense therapy, burned my left arm up pretty well, but doing better now.

Why not make a poll? You would most likely get more responses.

Zoloft is my best friend

 

[UofI]

[Ameesh]

i hope you feel better, is therapy helping?

 

[lowfatbaconboy]

yea spending to much time does not necessarily mean being a part of a rl community or friends

(get out more !)

With all the sh1t going on in my life at the time, I nearly blew my brains out this past spring. I spent several days at the hospital and have been on a variety of drugs. Celexa, Wellbutrin, Paxil. I couldn't stand all the side effects everything caused, so I quit taking them a little while back.

and how are you doing now?

 

[BoberFett]

Quite well. While my life is still pretty much in the toilet, I've figured out how to deal with it better. That's a big part of it. Recognizing your own patterns and behaviors is a huge part of dealing with depression.

I feel that I spend waaaay too much time here but, I am happy with my life and I come here when I am bored and in need for some intellectual stimuation. Wait....this is linuxnewbie.org right? j/k.

I look at the world and I notice it's weeping.

 

[BoberFett]

Awww, and I was hoping for the unabridged "everybody hates themselves" diatribe.

I am addicted to the forums. Though I have tried to an honest effort in staying away and keeping my surfing at AT for an hour or so per day it hasnt helped. I am glued.

I am forced to take some drastic measures like do something to my cable modem so I cant surf on the web..

As for depression I really dont know. However I might have to say I might be coming down with something.

Well, i wasn't clinically diagnosed, but i may have been depressed a couple of months ago (girl problems part of it)... but since then, i just said fvck it to school, went back to a regular workout schedule, and a vow of celibacy, and i'm feeling great now.

The thing with depression is all the regurgitated thinking (same thoughts that gets brought up over and over and over again) that goes on in your head, so the forums are a good distraction.

 

[Moonbeam]

Diatribe = A bitter, abusive denunciation. I wonder, BoberFett, why you chose that word to characterize my usual attempts to describe a deeply hidden truth. I get the impression you're expressing hostily subtilely that you could as easily just say directly and honestly so there would be a concreteness to which I could respond. Anyway, end of diatribe.

i've been depressed, but that was like when i got dumped and stuff. now that i'm apathetic, i'm much happier. hmm.
