Honestly a lot of people don't know, but thank you very much, Ski.
Anti-depressants are really a last resort. Many folks go through a depression. They can be small or big. Most of the times, a change in lifestyle will help you out.
Try and single out what your "problem" is.
You can also try and set up one or two appointments with a psychiatrist. It might help set in motion the right ways to think on things.
A lot more people than you might think go through a period of mild depression. It's to be taken seriously since it can evolve into a full blown clinical depression. I think the more introvert and reflective you are, the more you also risk becoming overanalytical and self-criticizing. Never giving yourself a chance and always kicking yourself to the ground. It's a skill to be self-aware and reflective, but it can also be a curse since it is strongly attached to your self-esteem.
Getting out, being active, socializing, being open about it. Those are things that might help you. Excersize is a good tool due to endorphines and all that.

Beer is starting to become an answer to depression and that's not good at all.
* maybe.
** I believe I was fairly drunk when I posted this, beer is not the answer.

funny movies make you, MEH?
sad movies make you, WTF?
maybe, just maybe...you're depressed.
but if masturbation is no longer/ceases to be fun. you are indeed depressed.

Skiman is right. Working out is extremely therapeutic and great for killing any kind of depression. When I work out a ton and eat right I feel great!
Yeah, I find that when I work out during being depressed it made me feel a lot better. So if you are into that sort of thing, I recommend it.

i dont think mood swings can classify as depression.
now, the poor fellow at the receiving end has 80% chances of getting depressed if he dont play his cards right
...getting depressed is the least of his worries even.
When your hormone levels shift, it can cause depression....and anxiety. Believe me, some months are hell for me.
I think if men went through the same things they'd know how to deal with it better. It's not funny and you have to learn to recognize it and deal with it. Most of the times I'm fine, then it can hit me like a ton of bricks. I don't get nasty or anything, just sad or anxious. My muscles hurt as well. Hormones suck!

I am becoming depressed, and I am trying really hard not to be. Not sure.. I have my good moments, but this has been an extraordinarily tough year for me. I lost a dad in late March, a pet on Easter Sunday, and now about to lose my grandmother any day now. Too much for a person to go through in a year. Her health is declining. Only positive I can take from this is she's approaching 96 and has 4 generations of children below her. With that said, it still hurts because she is the second most important person to me next to my mother. Both amazing strong women.
To anyone who can't understand how people become depressed... learn to be empathetic. Understand it's not something people just decide to become. It could happen to you or someone you love, and mostly likely has and/or will. Actually scratch that. It has AND will. I feel for anyone who has endured it. It's not fun. At least I have great security in knowing I have a big family and have a ton of great people I am proud to call my friends.

i think it was the death of my dad that made me realize the truly important things in life, you have no control over. it made me lose my zest for a lot of things. as time goes on though, i know he's not suffering and in a better place. we are all human and therefore mortal. we need to appreciate and cherish life because one day, we all will move on. i try to enjoy as much as possible one day at a time.
Add to add to that, a lot of women start peri-menopause as early as 30 years old though most start at 40. Life is fun!

Depression is normal when it comes to loss. Everyone has to go through this. I've been through this as well. Seems it comes in groups. It does get better with time. My beliefs help me.
I'm sorry for what you're going through. Just know that Grandma has had a good long life and you wouldn't want her to stay with you longer than she should and be miserable.
