i dont want to sound like a prick here m8 but you cant cure depression so he dont have 100% record he has a 0 % record i have suffered from it for near 20 years it dont go away.

99% of people will experience depression during their lifetime, it's normal in the course of human life.

You say you've had depression for nearly 20 years, and yes that's unfortunate. But depression and anxiety can definitely be overcome. I used to be a nervous wreck 3 years ago but now I'm absolutely fine. Really, I feel even more stable than I was before I had the problems because now I know I've been through it all and that I can deal with it. I almost feel like I'm immune to anxiety now since I know it inside out.

you learn to live with it knowing that not all days will be bad . and when it gets to its lowest you need to learn to scream for help .the Anxiety is a killer im a big enough lad yet only last week a little shrimp banged into me while i was shopping with my wife i said sorry to him and panicked cause my wife was not beside me . the fear that hits you when Anxiety attacks is real and scarey

Have you ever been to see a councellor/psychiatrist? I did, and it helped. Basically all they do is ask you questions. They don't ask questions to get answers from you, but rather they ask questions to get you thinking, to make you understand why you feel the way you feel. And once you understand why you feel the way you feel, you can start changing things.

Really you get get by all this and be in a better position than you were even before you had problems. I'm not saying it will be easy for you to overcome 20 years of depression, but I'll definitely say that you can overcome it.

Sorry to hear that man. Really man I'm lost for words, I feel like I shouldn't say anything because I'm not a professional about all this.

I made light of depression in my earlier post by saying that everyone will experience it in their lifetime and that it will go away, but I see now that it's a on-going thing for you.

I don't know if I should even say this but there's a thought running through my mind. I hear they've been looking into using Ecstasy for patients in therapy sessions. From my experience, Ecstasy is the number one drug to totally open your mind and let you explore your thoughts without any fear or anxiety. Me and my friends used to always say "Once you try it once, you're never the same", and we meant that in the sense that you learn things about yourself that you may never have learned in your normal conscious life.

I'm not promoting the use of illegal drugs, and I have to admit even as I'm typing right now it seems like an outrageous suggestion, but I feel like I have to say it because it's something I think might actually work. Added to that, there was a study to show that taking Ecstasy is far far safer than horse riding. Horse riding ends in tragedy every 1 in 350 cases. Ecstasy use ends in tragedy in less than 1 in 10,000 cases.

Again I have to stress, I'm not promoting recreational use of Ecstasy.

You can do a web search for "ecstasy psychotherapy". There's loads of psychiatrists now supporting it, but it still has been adopted because obviously there's a huge potential for abuse of the drug...

I get anxious when i do stimulants on sust 250. stay away from caffine or the superpump while on it and youll be fine. im on it right now and i was a lil nervous this morning. no worries. it never used to do it. but i keep doing it.lol

Well its good that you ask that Ghost because i think i am getting much better now and ive learned how to cope with them to make it better. I think its just time before it goes away entirely.

Gt- i think that it is a reaction because ive taken stimulants for nearly a year and i never had a bad reaction until the sust. was running through me so i think its just a bad reaction.
