I think if you change some things in your life like Jessy said it will help. Remove as much stress as you can from your life. If theres people been assholes on here to you ignore them. I think your doing alot of things ti help already by coming on here and giving up drink. Drink is never the answer and only makes it worse. If you change your lifestyle a bit it could help. Maybe eat more healthy and do a little excercise everyday. Even just a half hour walk everyday would help. Whenever I do some excercise I feel great afterwards. Sleeping could be a factor too. Broken sleep can be bad for depression and very late nights. Your not going to see escorts you say but it might be an idea to see one of those that do a nice body to body massage. I notice more escortts offering this service and it looks very tempting and I'm sure it would be very relaxing.
    thanks there HWM there is alot of good people here i do keep fit normally i do 8km hill run three times a week and do excercise to tone up just not lately i will be meeting more escorts for sure you bet i will just not at the moment i don't think yer man in my pants would stand at the moment i have been spening too much time with the same escorts and its not good for my head i think all the advise i got here is a great help but again i am very very sorry to the folks that lashed out at when they were trying to tell me i had a problem.............sorry to them thanks HWM

    It takes courage to come on this board & why not say it to friends here? why not? I lived with a girl with depression we had a lovely relationship her depression was never an issue in our relationship or indeed our parting, first step is facing up to the fact u have a problem get yourself to a doctor & medication like you've done to balance yourself dont mean your gonna have to stay on it for the rest of your life I wish u luck Harry make sure to stick around here...

    Keep the chin up Harry!
    I was diagnosed with depression 6 months ago but in reality I've been suffering it for 5 or 6 years. Failed marriage, floated in and out of jobs, heavy drinking and drug taking, distancing myself from friends and family, house turning into a tip, getting anxious then aggressive and just sliding further and further down.

    Was put on medication but it made no difference. So the social services put me on a condition management program. This involves meeting dietitians, physiotherapists, physcologists etc. I am a he'll of a lot better now.
    Have improved my diet, eating healthy, going to pilates and relaxation classes, talking things thru and getting there. Got myself a dog to go walking and it's a great way to get out and about!

    If I can do it Harry then u can! But get up and look for help, I couldn't do it on my own. But with all the meetings I rocking and raring to go!!!

    P.S. Being sober is a great help!!

    hope you and anyone else who suffers from this disorder seeks help as you dont have to go through this alone

    There are real breakthroughs with this disorder, but Ireland is not the place to get the proper help (depending on the level of severity.)

    Drugs such as Seritonin re-utake inhibitors and many drugs like clozaoine help along with Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT)

    Ireland however is one of the only E-U countries to still use Eloctroshoch Therapy to cure patients.

    I wish you well

    Default Well done...

    Well done Harry - it is brave to post that here, but you're not the only one to experience this. In fact, thank you for posting because I just learned a few things from the many replies myself.
    Please, please stay away from alcohol while you're on medication - it's only going to make things worse. I found too that sleep problems nearly drove me over the edge. So if that is a problem tell your doctor.
    There is always an outcome to depression, but I found with professional help and a stoic and patient attitude it's a positive one. Life isn't perfect now, but it is a whole lot better. The one big thing for me now is that I know any bad day is just that - a bad day. But they always pass. I've had some major problems to deal with in the last few years, work, financial, etc. At the end of the day I dealt with them easily enough which I couldn't have done pre treatment. Don't ignore problems, deal with them - but at your own pace.
    I know that you can have a positive outcome, because you're thinking the right way. So hang in there.

    I remember reading an article about that Deidre in Coronation Street and I can't find it now, but this article touches on the story I recall:
    'I don't want to grow old on Coronation Street': Deirdre Barlow hints that she's ready to leave the soap after 34 years | Mail Online

    She was saying that she sufferred depression her whole life, then founds drugs that totally changed her life for the better overnight.

    I was always quite anti drugs for depression, as I felt like it was better to work yourself out of depression with therapy etc, rather than rely on drugs to get you by. Plus some drugs can be addictive and you even hear horror stories about drugs making people violent or suicidal etc. So it was interesting to read that drugs had been the best solution for someone.

    We know so little about the brain, and I think with some people there may be some chemical imbalance or suchlike that can be treated with drugs, and so drugs can be the best solution in their case.

    Drugs can also be a good temporary solution for some people I think. I think if you are dangerously depressed then drugs might be a good way to climb out of that pitt and be well enough to start looking for long-term solutions to the problems you are facing.

    It always sad when people commit suicide, because I think that is very often a case of someone with depression who has gotten so low and not been able to ask for help or not gotten help, and if they had just been able to get help it never would have happened, as they weren't in their right mind. With bad depression it is all too easy to not be thinking straight at all I think.

    The people saying reaching out for help is so important are right I think. We all need help sometimes.

    I think what works for depression is different for everyone. All the sugestions people are giving are good and you just need to find what works for you. It's a shame health care in Ireland is so bad as I'm sure that doesn't make it very easy to get help always, but you have to be strong and get help, for yourself and your loved ones.
