Guess Im not a cheese expert. I know cheesy movies better. Alright. How many movies can you name where somebody is killed by a fan? Not like an admirer but the spinny things. (You can count turbines.) From Dusk till Dawn 2 and Killing Spree

Depressed but hanging in there. Sorry to hear that. I am feeling that way too. Have you been working out on trying to find out the cause of it?

What do you plan to do today? I went to dinner with my parents and shopped a little. I used to go to dinner with my parents too. I no longer do, as they have become very boring people with very little to say unfortunately. They are too caught up in their social medias and fake crap. I miss the days when I could actually talk to them about something real. Buy anything good?

Yeah I know what its like to talk to someone who is on their phone. I seem to be born into the wrong decade since I obsessed with the 70-early 90s and dont really care about modern day thing with the exception of the internet. I got 3 DVDs and 2 Blu Rays. Nothing well know but they were a buck so I figured why not? Moonwalkers - BR I Kissed a Vampire - DVD Love and Honor - BR Freeloaders - DVD Caprica - DVD

I have my good days and bad. Medication and movies tend to sooth it though. I see. I think I've maybe had a tiny amount of depression since I was really young but it didn't really start until maybe a few years ago, and then last year is when it became really bad, and hasn't stopped since. I've never tried medication or therapy or any of that, as I don't believe in it personally. I think it's mainly used to sedate you enough to keep you content instead of actually fixing anything, so as to exploit you into constantly paying for expensive sessions and medication. But that's me being sceptical. I haven't tried those things so I could be wrong, and I'm sure there could be some therapists out there who actually do care about their patients and want to help, however unlikely that is, and some medication that may have merits. I strongly believe though, that to truly fix someone's depression you need to locate the problem(s) at the source and remove it. I believe I have identified mine. But if yours is caused by a chemical imbalance then perhaps medication is the best way, I really don't know. It's great you find solace in movies. I used to too, for a very long time. Not so much any more though. It's becoming harder and harder for me to actually sit down and watch a movie these days due to various issues and medical problems that have arisen in the last year or so as my health has been deteriorating due to the depression. I'm lucky to get even 1 tv show episode in per day.

Totally agree about the 70s-early 90s. Those would have been some prime decades to be living in. I agree about modern day living. So much about it feels artificial and soulless. I miss the days of video stores, board games, and just hanging out with friends in real life. I absolutely hate the direction humanity is going in. The internet is an amazing and useful thing but also a terrible thing that has given us so many problems. ( I made a thread about that) And as much as I use it and rely on it daily, if I were given the option to take it all away for everyone, I think I would choose to, for the greater good.

I know people dont believe in them but they have helped me an incredible amount. And I know what its like it feels like they wont help you at first and it feels like nothing does. But after a week on a medication you can really feel a difference. There is no cure but they do provide a great deal of help. If not for them I probably would have killed myself years ago. But I do hope you get that all worked out.

I have chronic depression. Its a chemical brain imbalance. It comes and goes. Usually depression can be related to a source of some personal trauma or issue. I don't often buy into the chemical brain imbalance stuff. I see this as a copout.
I can get depressed and melancholic, many can, but I find when I am feeling like this, it is more often than not me just feeling sorry for myself. Victim mentality. I find doing physical exercise works and I also do volunteer work to assist someone in their business. Do you do some community work to help others that may be needy or less fortunate?
For me its defiantly a chemical brain imbalance. With the antidepressants I take I can emotionally feel a difference when I forget to take them. That is cause by the chemical imbalance. Its hard explain since its a feeling but doing things community work or doing things you love does not help. At my worst I could win the lottery and still have no feeling of joy or happiness. Its like you are stuck with one emotion that can not change no matter what.

Its like you are stuck with one emotion that can not change no matter what. The difference is, it is numbing your receptors of why you are supposed to feel the way you do.
Perhaps there is an underlying fear somewhere behind something you haven't quite acknowledged. We can't help our emotions, as more often than not our mind controls us, but we should neither suppress them, or allow them to alter our awareness of being for the worst. Being allowed to feel what we are meant to feel, is what helps us grow. Being disturbed, also keeps us awake and aware.
I dont think you really understand what I have. If I let my natural emotions consume my brain I will fall into a greater depression and most likely lead to my death. This is not what I am meant to feel. This is what I have and what most people that have depression have -

This is not what I am meant to feel. This is what I have and what most people that have depression have - I think you are perhaps being a bit too precious. You are even endorsing another poster to take anti-depressants to make him feel better. That is a misaligned and arrogant view as well. You have to fight for your own mind, no-one else is going to do it for you and if you feel depressed, find something to work through it to take your mind off it. Have you even tried?
come in Toastie. I know you mean well, BUT from what I read it seems to me like you dont believe a clinical depression is a real thing? I totally agree that the west seems to overmedicate and completely agree that a lot of people will rather adopt and stay with the victim mentality instead of really addressing whats under it all, BUT at the same time I believe there also is a condition that is not connected to any rational or even subconsious factors that make one happy or sad, but purely to the neuropathways and receptors in someones brain not working properly, not producing or absorbing the right chemicals, thus not allowing them to feel joy at all or to such deminished degree that you cant really focus on staying alive let alone being productive or act “normal”. also, if we KNOW for a fact (via neurological and highly scientific studies with cat scans etc) that there are some people whos amygdala is configured differently from the majority and the result is they practically dont feel fear, their brain just doesnt react to the same stimuli a regular brain does, why is it so difficult to comprehend it could be true that someones brain doesnt function properly ( maybe doesnt produce enough of the chemicals that are Essential in allowing someone to feel joy or have a diff kind of damage) and affects their sense of well being? i know there is some bias and potential fallacies in what I said, but there have also been incredibly interesting studies done on mice both that show depression is real observable condition affected through brain changes and other experiments that show that mice with lower level of serotonine to begin with dont respond to certain antidepressants which act as recaptors of serotonin and help Most peope (and depressed mice hehe), there was also a study trying to look into how brain inflamation and depression corellates, since another medical study sidnt find a correlation between serotonin and depression. its a truly fascinating field that is sill Fairly unmapped but I think its almost certain that a real clinical and organic depression does exist, and similarly like with diabetes, where you cant really wish insulin into your bloodstream, or mentally make it happen through extra effort, you simply need to take it to add it to your system to allow it to function properly, with depression in some cases its the same - you externalneed chemical support. or maybe in thw future get a brain surgery to fix someone else but can hardly if at all do i yourself via “trying harder”. I think therapy and hard work and physical activity and helping others are all great things that work for my brain for example, but I also believe that there are brains that have an inherent condition that wouldnt allow them to respond to it or not as much as mine does.

Ask me anything you want. what are you having for bfast today? I know it has not been asked to me but I need to tell it to someone that I have been having unhealthy breakfasts for quite some time now. I wake up early these days (by 5 am). 30 mins of checking up stuff on the internet and then go to gym by 5:30 and return from the gym by 6:30 and then have tea (with milk/sugar/ginger/cardamom) with caramel flavoured tea cake. It is like a homemade cake and I believe I have a lot of it. I consume 250 gm pack in just 3 days. It's delicious. I can't stop myself. Then by 9 am I have another breakfast. Eggs or cereals with milk depending on mood. I know I am going to the gym regularly but it's still uncomfortable to me how suddenly in the last 3 weeks I have become addicted to having cakes daily. Oh, I also have lots of flavoured yogurt. 2 packs of 80 gms each day. I can't stop myself
