OT: Despair

[dogscoff]

I've not been clinically depressed myself but I've lived with and supported someone who has.

Go to your doctor and get some meds. They can ease the symptoms long enough for you to go see a cousellor and (hopefully) deal with the root causes of those symptoms.

Also, make sure you're getting your excercise and eating healthily. Whether it's a cause or a symptom is still unclear and still disputed, but body & brain chemistry changes significantly in clinically depressed ppl and looking after yourself can really help to beat the feelings of apathy & constant tiredness.

It's not easy, since depression does everything it can to steer you away from the things that will cure it, but in time it can be beaten, I know this from experience.

Feel free to email or PM me any time you like, about anything.
