Hey guy's really just need some support, I feel my depression is coming back and I really think it's due to change. I've had some time off work as I worked all of christmas, I went out lastnight had a laugh and what not and recently moved out with my cuzen too so that's a laugh, then this horrid thought hit my head, I had a right laugh at uni and when that eneded i hit major depression. The question was 'When will this end?' Yeah maybe 18 months time but then what after?? Settle down? Travel? Start a new career?

Now if I feel ill i always have syptoms of depression return, but I feel really un happy if I'm honest. Would this be classed as anxiety maybe? I dunno I feel so low and thinkin of getting back on the meds.

Any ideas or suggestions are welcome

Happy new year btw guys

I don't know what to tell you. I have no advice or suggestions. With me, depression comes and goes. Sometimes just on a daily bases. Sometimes I have depression that can last for at least a month.

Right now I am doing OK. I have some ups and downs. Something can just happen or I get some bad news and that would cause my depression to come back.

I have been feeling depression for most of this entire year. This has been a year for me with things happening that do not make me feel good. Nothing much has happened this year that has lifted my spirits.

I had a bout of depression and panic attacks about four-and-a-half years ago. That lasted about three months. A few months after I got over it, I got hit with depression that lasted five months. After that I didn't have a bout of depression until earlier this year. And that lasted about eight months. That bout is over but some days the depression has returned.

Good luck to you. I hope depression does not come back to you.

exersice can keep you from becoming depressed,,,, when u get a good workout in you feel a natural high. try that. and if that doesnt work than i dont know.

I have to exercise every day and the past week I've been off from school I've been exercising 2 times a day and I am now starting to feel good/better. Best I've felt in awhile. The problem of course will be to keep it up when working next week. But I do know, even when you don't want to that exercise does help. It doesn't have to be vigorous and even better if you can get outside also.
Please try it.

Thanks for the advice, I studied sport at university and I know that excercise releases endorphins. I used to go the gym 4 times a week but i really can't be bothered

I know what you mean. It can be so hard to fit it in timewise sometimes but mostly it is getting yourself to go. It's all about habits and I suppose the most important thing is enjoying what you do too. I don't think the gym is for everyone and know that getting outside has added benefits too. Some people walk in malls and if that is what makes them happy then good for them and maybe they hate the cold or worried about ice and snow but walking outdoors has so many benefits. I hope you can give something a try, just once even and feel good that you tried. You don't have to measure against what you used to do.

Hey!

Major change like finishing uni and moving home can be extremely stressful. But have you thought about what it is that is actually upsetting you? Is it purely the thought of the depression never going away or is there issues that these events bring to the surface? For example having the safety and security of a routine like uni? Or being around familiar locations (home). Or possibly a million and one other things I havent thought of LOL! Just letting my brain go for a walk.

A lot of my issues relate to my past but I only realised I had been supressing a lot of feelings once I graduated and tried to fit into the big bad world out there. Uni can be quite a good little comfort zone and perhaps also a coping mechanism for some issues.

I hope you can come to the root of your current low feelings and get further support.

Take care
