Cure for depression - Men's Health Information, Including Fitness, Nutrition, Weight Loss, Working Out & Sex

I'm depressed lately. Having to do with all the disappointments in the recent past. I know it's not me, someone who dumps you via email / text message has no balls not worth the time and energy of fretting over. I have this depression based on displaced emotions.

How does one get over this specific kind of depression?

Depression is really seriously painful I know how you feel. I messed up my A levels over a girl. If its really bad and you can't get out of bed in the morning and don't feel like doing anything even those things you normally do like then it would probably be best to get medication. Also don't stay inside all the time and keep touch with friends. They may not understand fully but shutting people out of your life is worse...

all the best!

Depression is currently kicking my a** too.

The woman I love and believed I would marry, kicked me to the curb. Now she's met someone else, I'm not dating (not even interested) and it's really tough going through it.

I have struggles with depression for a long long time. I've been on and off meds., tried most of them prescribed by Drs., and tried to "handle it myself" (thinking I was weak).

What's weak, is feeling like you need to try and handle it yourself, like I did.

Like a recovering alcoholic that works the AA program, I admit that I am powerless over my depression and have sought the help of the professional community. I would suggest you do the same. There is a ton of information on depression on the Internet. So go see your PCP (primary care physican) and getstarted taking something to help you get through it.

It will take two to four weeks for your body to build up the chemical levels necessary to feel relief so the sooner you start the sooner you'll feel better.

I also make myself go to the mall and walk around or go to other public venues (that don't necessarily cost anything) and just be with people.
Force yourself to be with other "faces" (perfect strangers) and share a smile or a hello. It's amazing how that can help.

Exercise helps too as it naturally releases more of one of the "happy chemicals" in the brain. The that gets released, the better you feel.

Hang in there. follow some of the advice I adn others have given.

It will get better.

People suffering from anxiety, panic, stress and depression should consult a specialist and only then should use the medicine, as there can be various reasons behind the disorder. Medicines used to cure such disorders are habit forming and should be used for small duration. As per my personal experience, I have used Xanax and it helped me in getting over my panic and anxiety disorder. Along with medicine, the concerned person should take a break from his/her regular schedule, go out and take good sleep.

well my dear depression really need a lot of time to recover and you really need to move on for it to disappear. it's like don't think of the past or you needed to have some kind of hobbies to do on actually not remembering those bad thought and get you depressed. I've also experienced that kind of thing the only thing that I did was to move on never look back to something that will make you happy.

You aren't depressed. You're sad. You will get over it. You cannot get over depression (which is a brain-chemistry disorder). Be thankful because there is no cure for depression, only medication which may or may not work, may or may not make things worse (every antidepressant has clear "increased risk of suicide" warnings on the bottle), or may or may not simply turn you bi-polar. You'll be all smiles and 'howdy do!' at your mother's funeral one day and setting your own house on fire the next thursday...just because. If you were depressed your woman could take you back and you'd still think about eating the barrel of a shotgun three times a day. If you were depressed you probably already own the shotgun (and 1 shell).

Woman's point of view.

It sucks losing someone but if you seriously look at it, it means that you weren't suited and there's someone else out there for you.. Easily said right? Even women get dumped via email or text or worse, nothing... Not a thing stated, said...

We are going to go through several relationships in life before we actually find someone who just clicks in every way.

If you actually look back, there would have been things that you weren't happy about or not compatible with only blinkers can make us feel that it's all perfect, if it was we would still be with that person.

There is also more to life than just a "life partner" that being other passions in your life.

If you have none, you will always just rely on the relationship as being the be all and end all.

If your not happy with your work, see if you can change it.

If you have no hobbies, change it.

If you have a dream goal, work for it, start saving.

In-otherwords, there is more in life and passion is important but not restricted only to a SO.

Your description indicate what is called "Situational Depression" and is a very common form of depression but not the kind that requires professional help. That is, as long as it doesn't last for weeks on end.

The best thing to do when you are sad like that is force yourself to go out.Sitting aroumd moping makes it worse.

But being sad and being depressed are two different things.

Sad-Something you can overcome in time.
Depression-Something that needs professional help.

It sucks losing a person you care about.But you have to be strong and try to move about your life as soon as possible,and that doesn't mean you have to move on and and find someone new by any means.
