Hey - I need to talk to a guy about depression

[julmare]

I'm a twenty something girl who suffers from severe depression and I need to talk. Right not I'm on Well Butrin and Lexapro, but have been on many other things. I can't talk to women at all and I'm new to this online thing. Please help.

You can't even talk to women on-line? Do you have an idea why it's easier to talk to men? How long have you been depressed, do you know what's causing it?

Hi There..

Sorry to hear about your depression. Im also on Lexapro for depression and anxiety.(and Im a guy). Im 30 but came into my first bout w/ depression in my mid twenties. Shoot me any questions, and maybe I can help.

I'm not sure why it's easier to talk to guys - i guess I just never felt very comfortable around women. I've always felt like the female "friends" I've had have always had an ulterior motive or something. Anyway, I've been struggling with depression for a long time - I think I've had it in some form or another all my life - but when I was 20 was the first time I got really bad. I'm 28 now and tring to get better. I'm seeing a psychiatist and taking Lexapro and Well-butrin. Some days i feel better - but some other days I feel just as bad as I always did - suicidal even sometimes. I also feel like it's just easier to tell everyone, my doctor included, that I'm feeling better.

And thanks to you guys who replied to me - it was really nice to get a reply

Hey tinkers, I haven't replied for a while. I hope you are still interested in helping cause I need some. I feel totally hopeless and that I have no alternative outlets. Im not suicidal but I need to talk to an understanding person

Julmare,

Hi I'M still here and it was funny that I saw your post today because I dont check other threads often but you talk and I'll listen and try to help if I can.

Suboxone works give it a chance!

Hey julmare, dont feel bad, I used to feel the same way. Are you bi-polar, I am. I have the same effects, feeling like garbage for no reason. Im 22 but i have learned that when I feel like that, I leave wherever I am and either go to a movie, buy something that makes me feel better, or go to friends house and not talk about it. None of them completely change the way you feel but I guarantee it will help. Let me know if you want to talk.
