So feeling really low lately, not enjoying anything & very bored
So was wondering how many people here have encountered it some shape or form?


I have it
I’ve had it
I’ve known some one has it
Never encounter it
Am an internet hardman, I do not believe in such weakness
 
I think the last time I was bored was in 1983 when my ZX Spectrum broke.

Are you;

a) eating enough
b) sleeping enough
c) doing enough exercise

?

This, I've been depressed for what seems about 2 months now. And going to the Gym and having a night out or a trip to the cinema really helps to break the week up.

After a conversation with a mate advising me all they do if you take it to the doctors is put you on Betablockers the best thing to do is have something to do.

Though it is pretty hard when you're trying to sleep sometimes!
 
Get treatment early. I deal with many attempted suicides in ITU which is heartbreaking for every family involved.

The sooner you actively work towards improving your situation the better. Look at your surrounds, what is making you miserable? Start with the easiest things first, perhaps your curtains annoy you, or the position of your sofa is getting on your nerves.

Heavy exercise is also good as it gives you something simple to focus on that is generally unrelated to the cause of the depression, but is in itself not a cure.

Talk to your friends, depression is a lot more common than you think and the chances are that one of them has had some experience with it, either themselves or someone close to them. One of the things I wish I had done was to talk to my friends about it, but I didn't really want to admit I had a problem.


The sooner you start to actively work towards improving yourself, the better.
 
I'm not sure if I have it or not.

I'm far from happy. I have issues with Self harm and alcohol abuse. Generally do not enjoy life and have very often and strong thoughts of suicide. And yet I don't struggle to "cope" with doing basic tasks that most definitions of depression seem to mention. From the most part I eat and sleep just fine. I go to work. I can talk to people. I can joke. I can sing. I can laugh. The one and only task I can never quite crack is the ability to be happy :-\.

Decided after a single visit that the GP wasn't the route for me (he thought it was depression and made references that it may be something more) , so now I just deal :).
 
If you think you are suffering from depresion you need to talk to your doctor. They are the only one's that can help and set things in motion to help you.

I've suffered with it for a long time now, I'm on the other side now though.
