Depression is rampant around these parts?

Question

I swear just spending some time in this room depresses the h**l outta me. how many of you suffer from major depressive disorder? i guarantee 9 out of 10 women on this site take some sort of anti depressant.

Answer 1

The only thing I need to be happy is positive thinking, and sometimes a nap.

Answer 2

I was depressed as a child, but I got over it by high school.

Answer 3

Really? I find it hugely amusing :-)

But I HAVE been blocked by men for being friendly and cheerful, so you tell me, lol.

And no, not a medicator.

Cheers :-)

Answer 4

You may have a point.Seems like everyone is on some kind of medicaton.Anti-depressants are the new shot of whiskey, for people who have to control themselves,feelings, anger and others.Instead of confronting their problems and the truth about themselves and the part they play in their own troubles.Blaming someone or something else.Making a mountain out of a molehill.Being sad is a normal part of life and you get over it.Medications are big bucks and doled out to everyone for huge profits.People that do have serious problems don't have a choice not to be on medications.Those are the ones I have compassion for.

Answer 5

When people have Major Depression they don't do anything.

They don't change their clothes or take a shower.

They don't go bowling or socialize with their pals.

They don't chase girls, guys, or domestic animals.

All they do is sit and mope and contemplate suicide (sometimes they write abysmal poetry).

So I doubt that the people on here who have the energy to actually log on and write answers are really that depressed.

Answer 6

Hmmm nope. I;m not depressed but if you need to think so go right ahead.

Answer 7

Not me.. extremely happy thanks for asking.

Answer 8

That's funny thing...I get blocked by men and women for being too cheerful around here.  You honestly can't take it seriously.  This is not the place and in general not people to have a serious conversation about gender issues with.

I think some take this category far too seriously, if I did I probably wouldn't be here.

Answer 9

SO,I,m a male pushing 65,do like me take prozac and drink vodka.

Answer 10

This forum doesn't have that much power over me, it's merely a source of amusement.

Answer 11

Depression is a copout for people who don't want to use self-control!! Sometimes life sucks, get over it!!

Answer 12

I'm not included; depression is no more than the slow killing of the soul before the body has died.  This girl is going to live, smile and laugh.

Answer 13

Agreed.  It's very depressing.  All they do is report report report.  What a sad life.
