Afraid to call for help

I have been depressed as long as I can remember. The cutting is more of a compulsive act now adays, it used to help curb my depression but now makes it worse.

I do believe though my meds were not balanced properly and my depression coping skills were terribly flawed.

 

hm...
well i know one of my friends was depressed but it was family issues. i suppose things like this could happen as a result of chemical imbalances in the brain. or genetic disposition.

 

wow. I kept checking back on this thread to see if Burnt would come back or not. I see he is all good.

 

what are depression coping skills?

 

Well i hope that you do everything you need to get help.
Sometimes people need antidepressants and someone to talk to you or sometimes people can help themselves...

I was really depressed and i used to cut myself and i had no desire to live but then i met the right people and learned the wonderful things of life and i learned to appreciate living and what i have and now im perfectly happy.
Im diagnosed as clinically depressed and sometimes i still have sad days but when i do i just think of somethinng that can make me smile bc theres always something even if its something simple...
