3.Atomika was just being the way he his,but we won't have to deal with him anymore...

4.If i can ever get a new PC (which is highly unlikely) i'll PWN you into submission!! !! !

5.I don't know about that...

6.Don't know why everyone is hyped up,probably cuz of psot.

I feel like crawling into a tank of heavy inert gass.

I can relate to what you are saying as I have experienced similar thoughts. And I still do engage in some of those thoughts when I am down. Hope keeps me going. Having hope for a better future, a better outlook, a better life. I think having hope is paramount if one wishes to recover from depression.

I used to think cognitive behavioural therapy was a bunch of BS, and thinking negatively was only being truthful to myself. I thought everyone hated who I am, in part because my mother could say some awful things. However, regardless if I was "being truthful to myself" or not, the negative thoughts did little to help me recover from a depressive episode. In fact, the negative thinking perpetuated the depression. Looking back, I see my negative thinking as irrational and being overly critical of myself.

Depression is like an addiction. It's an addiction to victimhood and helplessness. These are learned behaviours that people can easily fall into and make a habit of when confronted with sorrow. You are not alone in this. While it is true that depressive episodes are often prompted by traumatic events, it is the depressed person that is left with the responsibility of coping with the trauma in such a way that does not cause harm to the self or others.

So how does one cope? It differs from person to person. As for me, I see a therapist every week, and she gives me ideas on how to heal. She is a cognitive behavioural therapist, and we don't talk about my crappy childhood at all, we talk about practical steps that one can take to facilitate psyche healing. I don't watch a lot of TV or violent and sexual content. That's just my choice, and I find I have a calmer mind as a result. I like to meditate and do some yoga as well. I force myself to engage in life by eating as healthy as I know how to, and working out. When I take proper care of myself, it uplifts my mood, which allows me to feel more positive and do almost all those life things that others do. I still have tonnes of work to do on myself, but I think self improvement is one of those life-long pursuits anyway.

I don't know your situation, but if it's bad, would you be able to change it somehow? Allow yourself to hope for something.

This is my biased opinion, but... if you can possibly avoid using anti-depressants, do so. They are powerful mind altering drugs, which can give many bad side effects. I had terrible experiences on these pills and I won't take them anymore. But I understand that everyone is different and reacts differently to these medications, so don't rule out the possibility of antidepressants because of what I am said. If you feel that you are at a point whereby you have no hope other than to take an anti-depressant to feel better, then it might be a good idea to take the anti-depressant. They can help some people when dealing with depression.

I don't know if this helps. I hope you feel better soon.

Ye who be Uknown.

These words I say unto ye.

Ye already have a hope, but yet ye do not realize it, for it is not come into your understandning on what that hope is.

Thou doest have friends who do carest, however in your state as ye are, you do not think they do, and subconsiquently you are entering a phase of deep dark depression.

Ye, must have hope, faith, and understanding that this will be the turn for the better.

Sir Gamester.

Hmmm, reminds me of the Lemmiwinks episode in Southpark. Ak, thanks, got the song in my head now.

With the way people flock around you in these forums, I would say you're pretty well liked. I agree, life sucks but you don't.

You picked a cool name for an Aspie board too. Better than droopy.

Lemmiwinks? I've seen a few SP eps. which ep is that? not the one where the teacher is gay and sticks the hamester creature up the guys rear is it?

not so. I posted the topic "attack rabbit" on Jan 3rd just for you because I thought you would like it.

I was gonna provide a link to it, but then remembered children (besides me ) might be reading this.

I still go through alot of that. There ARE people who will capatalize on another's inability to play the same game. There will eventually come into your life people who will see this happening and will stand by you while you discover your problem solving-self defense skills. It's just the way it is. The problem with counselors and all of our other safety nets is A. the abusers tend to get to them first
and B. they tend to think on the NeuroTypical network, though they may be 'aware' of ours and more prone to understanding, they do not think 'in que' all the time. WE HAVE TO LEARN TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM.

I am going through this problem myself and it is having me down and avoidant. My counselor DOES have the dormant gene and a brother with Aspergers and is a phenomenal person who can actually 75% HEAR me. BUT whereas my pressing problem is in obtaining a voice to speak for me-she heard me say I was having trouble holding down a job and is still on THAT HAMSTER WHEEL. I am much more interested in more pressing problems involving interpersonal relationships with the police and the domestic violence system so that I in effect can experience healing and completion of civic duty.

Anyone who seeks to down you will always be a piece of Sh*t. It's a fact and a matter your going to have to learn to deal with. A course of action would be trying to get the WORD out to others who's eye's may be sheilded due to their processing the best speakers lies as the truth.

So many years to find out that if others knew they would be pissed off.
And no one, rather the people we may need it from, validates us either.

Hug. Accept Yourself-You Rock!!

We seem to have some controversy over anti-depressant therapy. Some stand by them-some hate them-some prefer herbal anti-depressiants.

No ones' mentioned excersise.

I've never had a prescription antidepressant, but like the way the guy said they are ok and lift the cloud; as well as suspicious of them or their origions. St Johns makes me feel sick. Everyone has a different body so--

open minded and intelligent about your own care.

If you mom would get you on a light dose of something-that would be cool.

If not or if you can't ask-at least eat healthy, drink plenty of water (bottled is better), and get out some.--go punch some trees.

Hug.!
