QUOTE (mjsteps @ Feb 13 2009, 09:52 AM)  Really, I can not say it again but I will. Depression ruined my life for several years and nearly cost me my life. Look I thought it would just go away or that I could just "pull up the boot straps and move on". I was so anti doctor, anti medications and believed depression was just a weakness. Do not be fooled as I was cause things will not change. First at least for me the proper medication was the first issue. You see sometimes depression can be a physiololgical thing or a chemical imbalance. After taking a few and finding the right one ,it began to make a difference for me. Then of course it was time to make life adjustments and changing ones attitude and behaviors. Today I can say no medications and I am doing well. But really man please do not waste time or days or perhaps years because it will consume you and everyone around you. Thanks for sharing. What you suggested is the way I'd go too if I needed it, and I'm afraid self medication like trying to change jobs, apartment, the color of your clothes etc will only give a shorter relief and revert into the depressive state shortly after. A new job, a different apartment or a new guitar won't cure a depression. In general terms I tend to belive it's not that simple to cure a depression that someone who is depressed can manage by him- or herself and the self analyze to what measures to take can be flat out wrong. Not that change in life maybe isn't needed, but it's not the thing to start with to cure oneself, the problem comes from inside so changing what's outside doesn't seem right.

Like before when we have dealt with serious issues it's good to clear the air but noone here are professionals or have a full insight hence can't give professional advice. And with so many suggestions some may be good while some could work against a depression and make things even worse.
We wouldn't want that to happen. O.C I hope that you talk to a professional and follow the advice to get in order to feel better. As you have seen you have a bunch of people here supporting you we're all wishing for you to get better. But for now, we'll pause this thread to not further give you unprofessional advice, spite it might be helpful. Keep us updated if you like!
