I probably do not produce enough serotonin, as the winters here are long and gloomy, and I have little reason to go outside being unemployed, with no classes right now (though the classes I take are immensely stressful). It often leads to a type of depression, and even though I have a strong will, it affects my mood greatly. To compensate I have been eating foods rich in helping produce serotonin, like bananas, eggs, chicken and certain seeds and nuts, and going for short walks and bike rides, and it has helped. Although I do not exactly feel bad, I feel more hollow than anything, probably because I need to talk to someone about my thoughts and feelings. There are natural ways to help a chemical imbalance, but for the mind's sake, I suppose there is nothing better than talking to someone.
A warning to all who feel Depression: Prozac isn't that good.

Please disregard what I said. Apparently it came out completely backwards from my intent, especially because it apparently implied a religious connotation. An Agnostic/Atheist making a religious statement would be kind of amusing, no? Oh, and believe me when I say that I know depression.Jumplion said:
Anyway, just please ignore what I said. >_<

Send that video straight to her Dad. Now. Dumping someone with depression like that is outright criminal, as you've mentioned.
I wasn't actually posting on the grounds of generic religion/spirituality bashing, so you can safely ignore my post in that sense.Yureina said:
I was just trying to say that while we hear things like "depression is caused by chemical imbalance in your brain!" a lot of people don't seem to consider the fact that everything else in your brain, which is the hardware that runs the software - you - is simply based on chemical reactions. The normality here is defined by society and not by some kind of inherent sense of what's right and wrong - aka morality, which might as well not exist...
My girlfriend suffers from depression and I'm pretty sure she was on Prozac for a while. She tried to kill herself three times.
Heh.. Fluoxetine.
I had to come off that shit because it was making my impulse control problems worse and wasn't really doing much of what was supposed to be doing.
On the other hand, it was a cakewalk compared to being on antipsychotics. Bleurgh.

What your ex did was absolutely despicable, cruel, and heartless. No one should be put through something like that, especially not you. What she did should not go unpunished. As many have said before me, send the video to her father and explain to him the circumstances behind it. Why anyone would have the audacity to do such a thing is beyond me. Now, I've never been diagnosed with any form of depression, so I can not truly understand what you or anyone with depression goes through. But I do know that anti-depressants, along with any kind of medication, don't always have the effects we expect. There are side effects, adverse reactions(normally when taking 2 different meds at the same time), even times where the medicine does nothing to combat whatever is wrong with the body. The same medicine can react differently when two different people take it. I don't know if anything I just said will be of any help, but remember that we care about you. I don't think any of us want to see you like this.
I can't relate to this in anyway but I feel I must say I hope you can get better. A malicious partner is a horrible thing. I haven't needed to take anti-depressants myself because I have never gotten depressed to the point where I couldn't think my way out of it on my own.Jack and Calumon said:
I really hope you can recover, your posts here on this webzone make me happy each time I read them.
Take care of Jack for me Calumon, I think he needs your help more than ever.
Right, first of all, after a bath, a long sleep and so much exercise I can't feel my legs. I felt better.
I read through your comments before I went out and did the one suggestion that stuck was the one half of you have been suggesting. Guess what it is?
I shown the parents the video. And christ things went mental for the best in my case. Bad for her though... really bad.
After showing both Mom and Dad that video, they asked me whether I was joking. They could see the sadness in my eyes they said, and knew I wasn't joking. They also recognised the boy in the video. I'm not going to go into detail but that boy was actually 22 on the day that the video was shown. The girl in question, is 16. So...
She walked in just as I was leaving and asked "What the hell are you doing here?"
I smiled and placed my hand in her shoulder and whispered "Fuck you, they know."
She then shouted "What" at the top of her voice and the rest is unknown to me, but the neighbour to them, a friend of mine, said that the racket from the house was so loud that most of the street went to complain. Rightly so, if you knew the details which for the purpose of identity protection, I shall not reveal, but know this, there is a damned good reason I'm not.
Either way, I feel much better now, although my eyes feel like dry rocks.
Once again, my real cure for being depressed has been The Escapist, so, once again I want to say this.
Also, thank you for making my life just that little bit more interesting. Know what I was going to do today? Be miserable and stay in bed. Fuck that now, I want to go out and climb a mountain, although, my exercise involved me climbing a hill and I'm knackered from that.
Concerning my pills, I've asked my Psychiatrist if I can come off them. I guess that 20mg a day is alot. In fact, after doing some research, that's a high dose, even for adult standards, and I'm 16! Coming off these things will take time but I hope you all know something.
Calumon: Hey Jack, what I miss?
Jack: A heck of a lot, and I'll tell you about it one day.

If she's 16, I don't think that sending it to the internet would be a good idea. At all. Ever.scumofsociety said:

What a fucking slut. I'm glad she got her comeuppance, I would have gladly ripped her face off. Seriously, just give me names and addresses.
And yes, anti depressants don't work. I was on Sertraline (sp?) and it made me feel awful. You don't feel sadness, happiness, anger or anything. Most of the time I just sat quietly with a grey face watching the TV but taking little notice. It made me feel numb and constantly apathetic.
The best thing to do is to just drag yourself out of it, spend time with friends, read, draw, go shopping, so something you enjoy, go to a gig, anything.
I have awful bouts of depression, and I'm going through it again now, but I'm not going back on those useless drugs.

Ah, well in that case it's probably not such a good idea, and seeing you don't know if it was the guys fault sending it to the cops for underage porn would possibly be screwing over the wrong person.Jack and Calumon said:
Anyway, read the rest of your post...awesome
Wow, good on you man
Im glad Calumon and is back with you.
Fuck Anti-depressants, i hate them but there better then nothing at all.

Shit, man that whole scenario is just messed up. Folk got no reason to treat others that way unless they are
A: Templars
B: Employees of Abstergo Industries.
But in all truth, from what i've read you've done the appropriate thing and not done something stupid. Keep your wits about you and know that there are humans in this galaxy who care very much about what you do.

Holy crap. I just got done reading your post about the aftermath. that is possibly one of the best pay back schemes i've ever heard. the best part is that what you did was not only justified but it was responsible of you so you get payback and get the moral high ground...i'm sorry it happend to you but at least she caught it on the flip side. As for depression...i've been recently told that i may be suffering from it and i'm terrified about going on the meds.
My mouth literally dropped open upon reading what she'd done, I'm so sorry Jack. I can empathise particularly with people who have had something like this done, for some reason, and I'm glad you got your revenge, I really am. Here's hoping you get better and please, if you ever want to talk about anything, message me mate.Jack and Calumon said:
Ouch, what was the point of her doing that? The fucking *****.
O.T. I don't think I suffer from depression, but I suffer from extremely unstable emotions. It's usually caused by stress and leads into depression. I never bothered having it checked out, because what's the point of giving it a name? It's just so people get an extra excuse.
