    Depression mixed with cyber bullying, abuse and death threats = a very toxic and dangerous mix. She lost the battle.

    One positive from it though is finally people, and lots of fucking people, are talking about the issues that could be factors. Don't underestimate the effect that words sent to you from strangers via the internet can have on someone who is deeply unwell.

    Trevor - there is no one-solution to depression. The positive attitude is very good and can change/heal a person's perspective. That is a type of psycho-therapy - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and for many people it is the right answer to their worries.

    Nevertheless others experience brain chemistry imbalances which no amount of trying to be upbeat can overcome. The SSRI drugs re-balance neurotransmitters which results in a calmer more rational person.

    Nobody wants to be reliant on pills but sometimes for a while, they are the most healthy choice some of us can make. It might only be for a few months but if the things work, use them. For example, my sister has an asthema inhaler - telling her not to use it would be stupid and final.

    Totally fine ... it was pissing down ... but the sun is out and setting.

    actually. Ive been going through your rubbish bins.
    I think you need more protein in your diet. And probably have a word with the wife about throwing all those batteries out. Its not very environmentally friendly.
    They were D size. Btw.... at least i hope the 6volt were for the dolphin torch...

    the worst thing though (which I've heard a lot) is people get diagnosed with depression, get on meds... and after 4-6 weeks, they think they're "better", so they throw away their meds and a couple of weeks later wonder why they're feeling like shit again.

    If you get prescribed medication... it's there for a reason, if you think you're better, GO ASK YOUR DOCTOR. If they decide to lower your dosage, then you can... but never just decide "I don't need this shit anymore"

    My dad decided to lower his meds himself, was feeling low, and after confronting him about it, he has gone back to his normal meds and feels more energised.
