k i was reading ur advice for something on depression. it was outlets for depression. but anyway u say that depression is just people moping around sitting in the dark. it is more than that and its not something a lot of people can recover from without help from doctors or meds. i just wanted to tell you depression takes over your body and makes you feel like crap, sad, and emotional and a lot more things too. you cant just recover by just getting out and hanging with your friends because when you are depressed you kind of feel like everything is your fault and dont want to hang out with people. it pretty much takes over your brain basically. i just wanted to tell you this not being mean or anything so please dont take it the wrong way. i just wanted to kind of let you know how it feels. thank you

Well yeah, for some people, it takes more than that for them to get over but for alot, it's just the dark thoughts that are always in their minds. If someone is always having these dark thought and aren't happy and don't do anything about it, then it's just going to get worse.

But by surrounding yourself with people you love, you ACTUALLY love and doing something that you ACTUALLY like, it really helps, ALOT. I've had a family member that was depressed and he never wanted to do anything but once we got him out and about, he started feeling better, like he didn't have to feel all sad all the time.

Thats just the way I see it from experience. I've also had friends and family on the meds as well and they just didn't seem right to me. It was almost as if they could feel nothing but happiness and that isn't always a good thing.
