Tell me da truth youse... have any of you ever stayed up all night to knock yourself out of a depression?

I have, and I must say, it does help, sometimes a lot... I am thinking I will do it tonight. I know it is against medical advice, so if you're in, you need a note from your doctor, therapist, or your mom, to join me, tee hee hee............

I didn't think depression can be "knocked out". No, I've never tried it. But I have drank myself practically to death trying to smother the depression. That doesn't work either.

well, laugh if you want but it works and its in the literature... it jogs the circadian rhythms or something..........think, dont you always feel kind of exhilarated when you stay up all night

Sleep deprivation definitely alters my depressive state. But in the end usually comes back to bite me in the ass.

a tad hostile here, and i get your skepticism, but i never siad it was a cure, and i said one night, like in college, where you cram, and the next morning youre tired but sort of other-worldly exhilarated

if it were a cure... : ) i would win the nobel prize, tee hee hee..............

My Lorazepam knocks me out about two hours after taking it, so no all- nighters here.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
