News of Depressive Disorder NOS

I am not suicidal, I usually do not lack energy , and I definitely do not have low self esteem. I have lost interest (mind been too busy) , have huet myself (obsessive thought) , have boredom/emptiness, and my diet and sleep change from too much to too little and then fine.Basically, my depression does not follow the order. I also experience dissasociation and disturbing thoughts.

I am realizing I'm getting out of a relationship with a Narcissist who I changed my whole life for. Including moving forward on a divorce I could have held off on. My marriage is gone, my future with this other man became a complete farce after 4.5 years. I'm already thin skinned, very sensitive, insecure and feel vulnerable. On top of that, I have no family terribly close by and take care of a son. ...

I have a question, does anyone else not have memebers of their extended families with mood disorders? I know how clinical research often cites a genetic link between mood disorders, and how especially in Bipolar disorder, there are usually relatives affected with mood disorders. Yet, strangely, mood disorders as far as I know don't occur in both sides of my family. Some of them on my mom's side have Social phobia and other neurotic things, ...

I hate depression and I hate myself. I just want it to go away. Everybody around me suffers and it makes me hate myself more. For the most part I'm pretty highly functioning on 300 mg of effexor. I feel like I'll never be the mother I wanted to be. My depression always comes back. I can't keep it away.

I have a tolerant loving husband and 3 beautiful children. I don't even have anything ...

Hi folks,

I've never posted to a forum like this so if I say something not quite right, please forgive me.

This is a very long post, and I hope someone will take a moment to read it. I could really use some help.

I grew up in the deep south . My parents were very young when I was born, and needless to say, I was "unplanned." Given this, all four of my grandparents ...

I feel so down right now that I'm sick to my stomach.
Why? No REAL reason, and I'm so sick of this.
What do I do? I don't feel like I can go back to sleep.

First post, and it went to the wrong place. Damn!

Hmm.. How should i begin this? Let's start from my second memory (or at least i think it is). I woke up in the middle of the night crying because i felt that someone was torturing me with a whip. I still remember the sound of the whip, but then i realized that the sound came from another source. It was my mother screaming in ...

I've been receiving treatment for depression since I was about 12. I just figured I'd check out this forum, because I'm usually on the borderline personality one. I tend to forget I also have depression until days like today and yesterday.
I'm usually okay, but randomly, for no reason at all, I'll just feel down as hell. Yesterday, I couldn't even get out of bed, or off the couch, because I was so depressed, my ...

Hi everyone,

I was diagnosed with depression a few months ago and so far I've been on two anti-depressants. It's just, I don't really agree with the diagnosis. I feel like I haven't told the doctors/psychiatrists everything and, with being a teenager, doing exams etc, I feel they've just sort of lumped me into the 'depression' box because that's generally the most common thing for people my age/in my situation.

The first med I took ...

Can anyone relate to any of this???
(Skip to 3rd paragraph after this for non-prelude stuff.)

Here's my thing:
I have mild to moderate depression, and I manage ok (even though I'm affected by anxiety and depression, and what's a good day for me might be incredibly dull to someone else...I dunno.)

My Humdrum History with Coffee:
I'll focus on coffee b/c it's the form of caffeine that I take in more frequently than any ...
