Do you take antidepressants?

If it was me that's what I'd do. But maybe it doesn't have a bad effect on you so if that's the case ignore my advice.
That would be a bad idea for me because there's something funky in my family's brain chemistry or something, we react badly to a LOT of drugs. I haven't noticed any bad side effects with the Wellbutrin and it's helped me before, so it's best that I stay on it. With the current state of my depression, the process of lowering my Wellbutrin doses gradually and then gradually building up on another drug could cause me to become even more depressed, and I don't even know if I would survive that level of depression.

Have you been suicidal?

Does communicating at this forum help it or make it worse?

I have contemplated suicide, but it's never gotten beyond that. However, depression and suicidal tendencies run on both sides of the family, so I have to be vigilant.

I don't really think it makes much of a difference either way, although having people on here support me helps a little. Especially since I'm between friends IRL at the moment.

What does Resident Gaytheist mean? Are you gay?

I don't kill myself because aside from being mentally ill to the point of repeatedly being hospitalized, physically I'm in excellent shape. And I know all kinds of people in wheelchairs, amputees, diabetes, obesity, cancer, clogged arteries, heart disease, macular degeneration (blindness) and other handicaps, yet they still want to go on living.

They would love to have what I have, so It would really make me feel a brat to kill myself during my prime. Also, Suicide is the most self-indulgent and selfish act after murder. It hurts a lot of people.

Gay + Atheist = Gaytheist

I think just as people have a right to life, they should have a right to end their lives, but I agree that it hurts a lot of people. That's why I've never done more than think about it. Though I have hurt myself. When I realized doing so hurt my mother as well, I stopped. Mostly. It was instantly addicting, so I had a few lapses.

You are female right? Did you have a strong relationship with your Father or a Father figure?

Were you abused as a Child?

My biological father was emotionally abusive and psychologically manipulative, and I had to see him every other weekend until he died when I was 8.

My adoptive/step-father was kind of scary while I was growing up, but I knew he loved me and he mellowed out some as he got older.

My grandmother is an alcoholic, a prescription drug-user, and has been suicidal since 1989. She was also manipulative, as addicts tend to be.

And I was sexually harassed by a classmate in Kindergarten.

However, that's not why I'm gay. I remember being having crushes on women as early as I had conscious thought/memory, which was when I was 3. I never felt the same way about men.

Yes I'm on mirtazapene. I will probably say that the exercise and healthy eating and healthy lifestyle (er, attemped!)contributes more to my mental health than pills though.

I have to agree with you to that extent, that it is eventually how you live your life and take care of your problems that make depression manageable (or in best cases it goes completely away). What the tablets does in my case is give me the initial boost to get over my threshold, being able to deal with my depressing thoughts and get moving. Smile
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
