T28 RST

Im not angry at all, yes every case is different but to be honest without the medication im getting just now i couldnt cope.

How did you manage without any medication.

Turbocabbie

But what is the real meaning, is it not different for everyone ?

The real meaning of a word such as 'big' has a different meaning to myself being 5ft 7inch compared to Paul Sturgess who at 19-year-old is a towering 7ft 7in and still growing... its the same term and understanding however due to what we know we relate to it different.

T28 RST

It may be different for everyone but if you have a bad day you will soon get over it the next day or the day after.

Thats whats called being down and a wee bit pissed off.

If this was to carry on for a month or so and then for another month, thats when you can say your depressed.

Depression does have alot of meaning to it but it seems alot play on the fact that there depressed when there is really fuck all wrong with them and there really felling a bit low that day.

Something called Kinesiology.

Been to see a few docs for it, and got a counseling session soon...

T28 RST

Have you been to your GP or are you getting reffered straight to the psychiatrist.

Most people have to go through the GP first.

I see my CPN every week now, it does help.

Magic Numbers

Not a medication and after about 6 sessions of 3 hours a piece i was sorted! I had been suffering for about 9 years with it and lets say when ti was sorted it felt like 1000 weights had been lifted off my shoulders

Roughly 6 months in total plus a few check up calls each month to see how I was getting on! Google it and red more up about it! I can you it its totally worth it!

T28 RST

I will deffo read up on it

You are confusing depressed/depression with clinical depression

Wikipedia:
Depression, or a depressed mood, may in everyday English refer to a state of melancholia, unhappiness or sadness, or to a relatively minor downturn in mood that may last only a few hours or days. This is generally seen as quite distinct from the diagnosis of clinical depression.

Not many people have a car as good looking as yours. Get out there and enjoy.
