depression

just a thought...do you think someone ever totally gets over depression?

personally i don't.

it depends why you were depressed in teh first place...for me i get depressed around the "aniversary" of the day something happened to me ... i think it takes a very strong person to be able to over come triggered depression

I think everybody is depressed at some point in their life, and I think everybody who wants to will get over it.

Eventually, everyone grows out of something that i like to call TD, or Twink Depression. Twink Depression is a common downturn in a teenager's (aka the TWINKIE) mind when their hormones are busting through the walls of their sanity. This causes unusual eating habits (which could result in weight gain OR loss), crying, headaches, unsual sleeping habits, unnecessary suicidal thoughts and self-mutilation, low self esteem, etc.

BUT TWINK DEPRESSION CAN BE CURED!!!! Eat...CHOCOLATE. And if you're allergic to chocolate, Eat........STRAWBERRY FIG NEWTONS.

People get depressed, and it's a natural occurence. It happens to everyone, young and old, fat and thin, polka-dot and stripes...it's just the Twinkies who complain most about it, and trust me, there are MANY kinds of Twinkies.

Hey i personally think it depends, some types of depression you get over, depending on causes, while others you just hide away, and try to cope with. If its over a big thing then I personally think the memories and scars stay with you for life.

I believe that's called cannibalism, Bob...hahahaha. I don't want any lawsuits from any parents. O__O

Depression is a state of mind that can be dealt with, on the large scale, but in general everyone is going to be depressed once and a while no matter what happens, just b/c it is a common emotion. But yes, depression can be gotten over, meaning you can get past being sad all the time.

i was majorly depressed last year but kinda got over it but i still get those same feelings sometimes...i think that i got over but at times i'm not sure...

depression is just bottled up emotions,that one may feel from stress.family/boyfriend/friend/bully problems.

I went through depression last year. It's fading now but a part of me...that innocence and carefree joy is gone. It takes time to heal. Especially now that I see the world in a different view.

Depression, atleast for me, is everlasting.

I think it depends on the individual person and their experiences. Some their past is too hard to forget or too hard to get over. I've learned to adapt, but it still grows hard to go on each day.

Some, I think, can overcome it. Like I said, it depends on the individual.

Um... I don't think Depressin can be positive in ANY way.

Thats just my opinion. I've had Depression for a few years.

I think it depends on the individual really, we all have our up and down moments, at times diagnose ourselves as depressed when clinically we aren't we're just not our usual selves or life situations are more than we can handle at a time.

Its a treatable disease though however and whatever treatment works best for the specific individual and there needs.

I've had some really tough times, I tried anti-depressants as prescribed to me although they didn't work I actually found they did mroe harm than good for me. However I know of others that have had great success with them.

Through acceptance, talking and beginning to understand my own ups and downs and behaviours I believe I have over come this illness and hope others can do then same or at least hold onto the hope that one day they can...

if you can get over depression you have to be a really strong person.i've tried somany times .

it's really hard

I think you can come out of a depression, but you're bound to fall back into. Once you know how it feels sometimes it seems as if you're stuck there, because you are so used the sad and lonely feelings, that it almost becomes an addiction.

At times, yes Colby

It's a constant battle in my mind, that is if I want to be honest with myself...but in the meantime..I just put on a happy face & go on with life...

so yes and no i guess...

I think people can get over depression. Personally, I think that pills are a bunch of crap. Might as well give me some sugar pills, and you'd have the same result. I think that the only way to get over it fully, is to help yourself.. Counseling helps, if it's the right kind. But I think that you need to make yourself get over it, if that makes any sense. The way I see it, is depression is a state of mind. You can do anything with your mind. =/ But that's just MY opinion.

well personally i believe it really depends on the situation and the person for example when somone get's their heart broken by a lover some people never get over it some people just shrug it off and move on a some people well kill themselves of course there alot of in-betweens to all that but everyone deals with things diffrently thats why it is impossible to know exactly what someone is going through but anyways some people will never get rid of depression and some people will just let it go it just depends on how the person thinks
