How do you get depressed?

---

I have never been depressed...never...ever. In grade 6 my girlfriend and i broke up, it was hurtful but i didn't cry. The only time i do get sorta depressed is when i dont play my guitar for a while, Patsy the II and Bumblebee other then im happier then kids high on sugar.I conclued depression from being either mentally weak or just a pansie. Im still researching.

A lot of things make me depressed, but do you know what helps? When I go around to peoples' houses and smash their guitars to pieces!! I always feel better when I destroy someone's music, makes me feel all warm and bubbley inside.

your a sick twisted person, just cause you dont have talent or skill at any music doesnt mean you can destroy music, people worked hard on that stuff. I hope you get crippiled.

I love music! I love music when it crashes against the wall. I love music when it snaps over my knee. I love music when my foot annihilates it.

good luck with that, you wont be able to destory all the music you will die cause ur old and crippled

Us weak minded pansies, must stick together..tsk tsk.
Would you like a hand bob? And when we are crippled weak and old we will have our children well trained to carry on our work!

"He jests at scars that never felt a wound." (Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet.)Depression can happen to anyone, and it may happen to you some day.

Thats true, a good quote by shakespear aswell. But depression usually strikse the people who are in bad moods or bad luck

"I am Fortune's Fool" (Shakespear(e), Romeo & Juliet)

You're totally wrong.Couldn't be more wrong.I can't tell you how wrong.Depression is often biological. Some of the strongest people in the world suffer from depression. It has nothing to do with strength or character. That's like saying only pansies and sissies get colds.I have suffered from depression, as have several people reading your post. The reason your asenine assessment of depression didn't bother me is because I figure you're just a young, naive kid who doesn't know any better. Well, that and the fact that what you think is irrelevant. But I suggest you do yourself a favor and do some real research around depression before you go spouting that crap off to someone who might just do the un-pansy thing and whack you upside the head.

hmm sounds like you want me to be oh well aslong as i have 5 fingers on each hand i wont be

I don't really understand what you just said.What I do want is for you to be healthy. And as long as you have a healthy, accurate understanding of depression, you will be. If you understand it correctly, you'll be better able to know what it is when it hits you and how to get healthy again.I'm a guitar player myself! Love singing and playing. Particularly contemporary folks stuff like Damien Rice and Over the Rhine and that sort of thing. Playing is one of the things that actually help me stay away from depression.You should find the songs "Blue Train" by Linda Ronstadt and "I Should Get Up" by Teddy Thompson. They're cool songs to learn and the just happen to be interesting perspectives on depression.

That is the best point i heard so far, good to meet another fellow guitarits lol.I guess im entering the begining stage of Depression, DenialThere was this really really pretty girl in my math class she was in my class for i dont know how long probaly 3 days or 3 weeks after those days she like vanished never appeared again, so i was worried. I dont even know the girls name but she was really really pretty and like gothic type of person or Heavy Metal fan and now when i walk by like beautiful places i just imagine that its me and her hugging. Is this a form of depression?

I don't think that's depression at all. Just sadness. Which is normal and rational and sometimes even beautiful.

I agree with damien. If there's a good reason for being sad, it's not depression.Have you tried tracing her? You could ask the teacher who she was and why she has left. You could sneak a look at the teacher's gradebook for her name.

Oh yes i tried that like each time the teacher did the attendance i only wish he did roll call that way i could have heard it I cant ask the teacher, i dont think they give out private info.

Perhaps someone else in the class might know. You can ask the teacher what happened to her. It's an innocent question and he might give out more information than he means to.

I dunno..I think if you're teacher gets that you thought she was cool and are just wondering, he/she would probably at least tell you something. He/she won't give you an adress or phone number, but would probably tell you why the girl isn't around any more.
If I were your teacher, I would definitely help you out.

I tried today, i had math for first period i stayed after school but no dice he said he cant i even look at the attendance but her name was taken off though there is this guy who know who she is and he knows her. The girls boyfriend i think they broke up is in my classes as well i dunno if hes emo or not looks like it but without cuts. I must try tommorow!

You don't want it. It's really bad, the feeling is really terrible, you get..thoughts, and, no, you don't want it.. Though, the experience might help. You will get it sometime in your life, most likely. : p

Depression is a mental illness and occurs when there is a chemical imbalance in the brain. Those brain chemicals are responsible for our emotional state.
