I have only been with this board a few days and I have read so many negitive threads.
I wont be here long, I can't believe some of the things I have read.
The only way to bet depression is to face it head on. Stop dwelling on the negitive. You will never be able to get out of this state of mind if you keep going like this. You have to be willing to fight, change you attitude, change your way of thinking about things, if you are in a bad situation get the hell out! but do something to help yourselves. Complaining is not helping you!! All the meds. and theropist in the world are not going to help you if you don't help yourselves. Changing you negitive thinking into positive thinking, and going out into the world and saying I am worth fighting for, I deserve to be happy, I am happy, I am loved, I am good, I love myself, I love life, I will not let this desease controll me I am in controll of my life, not depression.

Love it, it's that sort of talk that is going to help people Daily strenth to me means you talk if you need to and vent and then you will be met with people that can relate or even help.
make you feel good and perhaps give you your Daily strenth. lets give it a go.
I must say eveyone I have come accross is so supportive it is so sad when people fight. Love love love people!
Love to all!

My depression has control over me. If I had control over it then life would be easy.

Lol ahhhh i see... its THAT easy. Ok people all we need to do is stop this negative thinking. Woohooo im cured now. Ty sooooo much Genesis...cos none of us knew that!!!
I am of course being sarcastic. Im sorry but we are all different with different ways of dealing with things. Im pleased for you that you will not let this control you :) however, i think you are being unfairly judgemental of people that you dont even know.. that you may have read a few snippets about their lives. If you post again, please be a bit more tactful. Thanks :)

Talk to me, I am not saying there souldn't be negative feelings. thats the whole point get those feelings out express them, there is just no need to aim them.
If you are down I am here and want to listen.

I agree that we have to be proactive in order to beat the depression. However, like Froll said...it's not that easy. I literally have to force myself some days to get dressed. Motivation - something we should all pray for.

if it's as easy as you say, then why are you still depressed? I wish i could just make it all go away with a few good thoughts. i'm sure your intentions are good, but i think all you have managed to do is offend some people.

Froll ! it can be done you just have to want it bad enough! Change is the only thing that will help you can swallow all the pills you want, but changing your attitude, and negitive thinking is the only thing that works, I refuse to let this bet me. So I fight every day. I get up every morning with the attitude that this day will be better than the last, and most of the time it is, Depression is a sneaky monster that eats your joy and hope until you have non left, if you continue to feed the monster then it will win and you will end up ----- you fill in the blank.

It isn't that easy and I can tell you that I have tried! I can also tell you that I never understand depression but I also never judged anyone with it!! It hit me with a ton of bricks but I've been fighting since day one and it is not easy. I wake up everyday saying "It's a new day" you know what it doesn't change things. Depression is not in your head, it is a mental illness and you can't sit there and think it away. It doesn't work that way for everyone; although I am glad that it does for you. Now are you diagnosed with clinical depression?? Just asking.

I agree, but I also agree with the others, it's not easy at all. However, we do need to try as hard as we can to be positive and get well.

Welcome to DS!!! I encourage you give this site more of a chance than "a few days." There are many, many caring and lovely people here. This site does have it's share of "craziness," just like real life. Stick around, I'm confident you're experience will be overall positive.

Its not easy and you often need something to help start you being able to fight it.I dont think Ive got as depressed as some people on here because even though I tried to take an overdose a few weeks ago,Ive always found something to give me a mental kick up the ass and start trying to find a way to drag myself back up.Dont be too hard on those that cant do it,we just be lucky enough that it hasnt got such a grip in us.

    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...
