Depression Logic


I have not written because I believed I was stronger than I am.

My error was a simple one and not one taken on a logical train of thought. Like a river that starts in a high snowcapped mountain, it seemed well adjusted and containable at first. Then someone brought out the sun and the floodgates opened.

Hi, my name is Ted and I need anti-depressants.
I have taken a long time to accept this as a medical condition and not a sign of weakness.

I stopped and decided "cold turkey" was the best way to go. I didn't expect the headaches, nor the irritation and sudden mood swings which came about when tired. I am exhausted, battling to get up in the morning and smiling has become really hard. The withdrawals can apparently be for as long as 2 to 6 months.


Responses to my actions included "You did what", "what the hell were you thinking" and "now that was clever".

My plea is a simple one, do not treat depression lightly. Do not see it as a weakness, but rather in line with high blood pressure or high cholestrol. It cannot be ignored. See a medical practioner and don't be as foolish as I have been.

Nite All.

  1. Dear Ted, a hard time for you and taking yet another step towards healing yourself is so positive. Keep that in mind. And, this too shall pass.

  2. A hard pill to swallow and releasing one is merely human does not alway provide one with comfort in times of stupidity.

    Lesson learnt and the consequences are not easy to deal with. Still in the larger scheme of things, life goes on.

  3. I have battled depression for most of my life and only 5 years ago I finally listened to my Dr's and now take anti-depressants. Although its been a tremendous life saver for me and I can live a relative "Normal Life".............I would give anything to be cured. I can live with my Diabetes but this depression..........I cant!

  4. Hi Ted, I have heard that Narconon uses CalMag-C to get people off drugs, and below is a depression sufferer that found CalMag-C makes a big difference in their life. I personally uses CalMag-C to lessen muscular aches and pain and relieve back pain - and it really helps for that.

    This is what people who take Instant CalMag-C have to say about it:
    “I suffer from depression and I must say that Instant CalMag-C has made a big difference in my life. Thumbs up to the guy who invented this product.”

  7. thank you for the time you have given me to help make me a better person and make much more and see much more in my life. I knew I had personal problems. I guess I did not want to see what the truth was about my direction in life and why I was doing certain things. Your insight and genuine ability to be able to see what the real situation is with me is helping me overcome the boundaries I have right now. I know it will not be easy the path I have chosen but at least now I do know what path I want to be on., Thanks to you I know a little bit about myself enough to help me make changes within. Thank- you once again.It really is a big big help to have you in my life and on my side. I will forever be grateful to you ayelalashrine2@gmail.comI had already tried three different internet spell caster's services, but all the guys I met were jerks and scams. Then my friend told me about ayelalashrine Spells. I wasn't sure anything would come of it, but I thought, why not take a chance? I cast a Love Spell, and the very next week a gorgeous guy came up to me at a club and asked me to dance. He is caring, kind, romantic - everything I always wanted. We've been together for six months, and we're talking about getting married. I'm a believer!" If you requires any assistance, you can contact him through ayelalashrine2@gmail.com
