Hi MizzJhaded! I am sorry you are down. I am not Dr. but what helps me is to talk about what is getting you down, or has you down. Sometimes you may not even know why. But I think the first step in fighting depression is to recognize you are depressed andd tell someone.. So you are right now starting to fight it. If it's something that does continue I would talk to my Doctor, depression does hurt! I wish I had a funny story to make you smile even for a moment.. maybe I can remember one in a few minutes... LOL I'll send it to you! :)

Oh no :( dont feel down! I went through a stage of depression. I used to take Prozac! Dont do it! The medication just makes you more depressed! You need a big hug :) *hug* Just talk about your problems with friends and im sure they can help you! Hang in there :) x

I know the feeling sometimes. It is not always easy to have depression. I am not sure of a perfect way to combat it. How long have you been feeling this way? I hope it hasn't been a long term thing for you or you could have a problem. Maybe it is just a case of the blues and you might just pull out of it soon. I wish you a lot of luck. You could possible take a nice long walk or read a good book. You could also pick up the phone and call a good friend.
