I don't think you understand how depression works. For many people it's not (completely) a matter of bad things happening in one's life, but a matter of screwed up brain chemistry. It's a disorder like any other, it just happens to be in the cranium instead of the heart or hands.

This. Sometimes there's not really anything that actually causes the depression in terms of events, but a person can still feel depressed anyway.

I know when I battled depression a long time ago, there would frequently be absolutely nothing wrong, but I was still overwhelmingly depressed for no reason.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

And then you feel like a bad person for being depressed despite having a good life. It sucks.

This. I have a hormone imbalance which not only causes my mood to plummet very easily into depression, but gives me great acne on my face and boils around parts of my body I would rather not mention. (Yaaaaaay. *slams head against wall*)Even something as simple as Birth Control pills do a world of good on evening me out, and get rid of all the horrible acne/boils.

Which sucks, because I have to take it every day. I am starting to look for some alternative that I won't have to be on for the rest of my life (unless I get knocked up... which unless I get really drunk and forget my pills, isn't going to happen any time soon).

Have you considered a Nuvaring? It's what I have--saves on the remembering.

I think it is a cool idea, but I am kinda distrustful of any long-term solution that is new. My mom was given a bunch of new meds to help her epilepsy as a kid which has since affected other areas of her health now, so I grew up with a 'Don't trust until it's been out a decade and effects are documented' mantra.

I think I will look into it though.

Well, you change it out every month, so you'd have a trial month to see what's what. Think of it more like a once a month pill.

That goes somewhere else.

[(Anonymous)]

I think being on pills every day is a small price to pay for your health. It takes like two seconds of your day. I mean, BC isn't even expensive. Talk to me when your pills are costing $150/mo...

[(Anonymous)]

It's more that I grew up in a house with a Hippy mom who was negatively affected by having to take consistent meds as a kid and instiled in me a healthy distrust of pills. When we got a cold, we were given Echinacea Tea and capsules and lots of soup. We will take meds and go to a doctor if the problem is bad (thus me going to the doctor about the boils), but it just makes me uncomfortable to have to depend on constant pill doses when there might be unknown long-term effects and a healthier, more natural solution might be out there. And since my status was never life threatening (I was lucky to not tip into suicidal thoughts or behavior), it feels like there should be another option.

But if this is the only way, then I will easily deal with it and force myself to remember to pick up my subscription on time (my biggest issue, darn my scatter-brained-ness). It's just a 'if there is a better option, I would really like that.'

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, the Pill has changed my life. I think I'll be coming off the anti-depressants soon, but I don't think I want to come off the Pill ever. Plus, I only have to have a period ever 4 months!

[(Anonymous)]

Mine is a bit different as I get a period every month, but it only lasts three days and it is WONDERFUL. (Seriously, I used to get everything- mega cramps, bloating, exhaustion, ugh. Now? Minor cramps for a day rather than four.)

...TMI? Ah well, screw it.

Really, I am just grateful that I don't struggle with acne anymore at my age ('it will go away around collge', they said...feh.) and I don't feel the need to cry every day! d(^_^)>
