If you don't know what double depression is, it's basically a big, fat depression cake. Sometimes people suffer an episode of major depression on top of an already existing case of Dysthymia.Well depression is a very normal state in and of itself that everyone experiences from time to time. I think it's important to remember this when you go through depression - although it often may seem like it will last forever, it won't.
I have had other emotions myself this year - well late last year into this year - I'll make my own thread actually so I don't too sidetracked in yours - but my point is that we are the primary care givers for our own health (physical, spiritual, emotional). Maybe you can remember a time in the past when you got depressed and then got past it - try to remember how you did this, the things that brought you calmness and comfort, the people, etc.
Quote:My mind is going downhill quite sharply. I've decided to not have any relationships or children, as my brain has decided that it has to put up with enough people as it is and doesn't need any more on top of them. I've been depriving myself of sleep because I find the eventual hallucinations entertaining. My disdain for other people has grown significantly stronger. All that coupled with the fact that I now officially have late-onset OCD means I'm going bloody batshit.Yep sounds like there's a fw things in there which are out of your control, and a few that are in your control, and that it's a recipe for "bloody batshit".

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
