What can I do to break my loneliness and depression?
2008-12-28 07:22:31 UTC
I have suffered on and off with depression since about 10 years ago, I take antidepressants. I work full-time and have no real friends anymore. I hate my job sooo much, it drags me down and so do the people I work with. I try to be up beat but most of the people in the staff room at lunch time just either take the piss out of me or just give me **** disapproving looks all the time!! No wonder I'm still depressed!! There is only that one place to eat in as I work in a laboratory out of town, no where to walk either!!!! What can I do to make myself happier in and out of work?? I'm not too bothered about not having a boyfriend at the moment but when I'm feeling better I would.

No where to walk?lol you have the whole world to walk on.



To brake your lonliness go out and socialize more often.If you really want to find someone you will find a place regardless of how far it is.



For your work related stress find another job if you hate it.It is not worth getting ill and loosing years from your life span.The more frequent the stress is the higher the chance of getting ill and the shorter your life span will be.Think about if your job is really worth loosing your life and your good health.



You are doing this to yourself.You alone are responsible for your situation.No one is forcing you to work there.



For your depression apply the following recipe.





Depression is caused by the lack of serotonin in your brain which is caused by the lack of omega 3 fatty acids in your brain.A deficiency that most of the humans on this planet have.





Omega 3 fatty acids raise your serotonin levels.The more you have the better you feel among many other benefits.





Start the omega 3 diet.I have researched omega 3 acids for 2 years and performed a very successful experiment on myself and few of my volunteer friends.Few months of the omega 3 diet it significantly reduced stress[and/or cured depression] problems permanently and significantly raised my intelligence,improved memory,gave me high emotional and muscle control,sight,reflexes[and many other known and unknown benefits]and without any drugs or supplements in the form of pills.



http://www.naturalnews.com/021119.html





Take two table spoons of grinded flaxseed[rich with omega 3 and cheap]a day[with a glass of water] and in a few months you will start to notice significant improvement in your mental health[you will become more psychologically stable,among other things].Use a coffee grinder.Whole seeds cannot be digested by the hydrochloric acid in our stomach only grinded seeds.A fact and not a assumption.You have nothing to loose only gain by it.There are many articles on the internet about the omega 3 fatty acids.



Flax is the best source of ALA omega 3 fatty acid which our body converts to more important fatty acids called DHA and EPA.For the efficient conversion to take place,foods containing a large amount of the following nutrients must be consumed along with the flaxseed:C,B3,B6 [vitamins],zink and Magnesium [minerals].I recommend 3 table spoons of flax with 100 grams[or more if to your liking] of almonds and/or 250g of green peas,1 kiwi every day.[do not take more then 3 table spoons of flax because large amounts can cause intestinal gases which can cause abdominal pain and/or constipation.If three spoons causes abdominal discomfort lower the dosage to 2 table spoons of grinded flax and elevate it to 3 table spoons after your body adapts to high fiber content].

Anti depressants will not cure your depression.They only hide it and make it worse.Only healthy natural diet on a daily basis can cure your depression whether you like it or not.

about 5 years ago, I started to fall into a really depressive episode. At first I thought it was only because I had a bad break from a relationship but the feelings wouldn't go away even after I got a new girlfriend. It was wrecking my life until a point where it was seriously affecting my work and personal life.



She was very worried but at the same time couldn't understand why I was still sad and thought that I still couldn't let go of my previous relationship. Being the wonderful person that she is, she put aside her feelings and suggested I go for psychiatric evaluation. Many months later and even more anti-depressants, I was not coming close to being better at all.



After doing some research online, I found out the real cause as you described it really makes a lot of sense and purchased this program. The results were simply astonishing. I read this book over three times and put all words in action. Using this method, I've kept my depression at bay ever since. Up to date I'm still living happily with my girlfriend.

I can relate to your situation as Im in a similar one myself. Im only now recieving proper professional treatment and support for my depression. I have hardly any close friends too and get unbearably lonely.



You should take steps to improve the things in life that you can like starting to apply for jobs. Mine was one of the things making me desperatley unhappy and I'll be starting a new one early next year-SO relieved.



Why not look and see if there are any activity groups in your area that interest you? Or part time evening classes that take your fancy. You might meet friends who have similar interests to you. You could look on sites like Gumtree and Plenty of Fish to advertise that you're looking to meet new people but obviously you have to be cautious around safety issues when meeting people online.



I think if you have a happier life outside of work then you'll be able to shrug off the bad things that happen in the workplace as you'll know you have another side of your life to look forward to.



Read a book or magazine to read at lunch, or buy yourself a Nintendo DS to play. I have mine and its great to occupy me and keep my mind busy!



You can send me a message any time via my profile if you need someone to chat to :)

I had a brain tumor 4 years ago and spent 3 years off work in the house on my own, i'm divorced and live on my own i was lonely and deppressed but went on Senior Friend Finder web site and have met 2 nice ladies one is 61 and helped me out of my deppression and we go out for lunch and chat about life and all kinds of things.

the other is only 38 and we go away for weekends and holidays very close relationship , so i think you need someone who will support you mentaly and you can talk about your fears.

if you don't feel happy at work leave , work takes up two thirds of your life and if you are not happy it will make you deppressed.

the next little bit of advice i would offer you is stop taking the pills they don't work its time to pull yourself together change your job and change your life i have and i'm a happy man again



take care R

Hi, i'm just wondering why the people at work would give you disapproving looks and take the P ?



Maybe the answer is a night class in something you like, digital photography, computers, Spanish class ?



or come over here and watch me play the drums ?

"I'm not too bothered about not having a boyfriend at the moment but when I'm feeling better I would."



You are bothered trust me, you've just mentioned you feel lonely. No one really needs your presence while feeling depressed, and I'm talking of my experience - over 5 years of severe anxiety and depression.



You need someone that will be close to you, discuss things, enjoy meals together, sex, and share.



You do not judge things as they really are, cause you don't need a boyfriend when you'll get better, you need one now and I mean it.

sometimes anti depressants can make things worse,professionals are quick to prescribe and treat the symptom not the problem.what about seeking help to reach the root causes of your depression and treat that.it might change your whole life.counseling or psychotherapy,is less on drugs and more on emotion healing

i can recommend http://onlinecounsellingservice.co.uk i have been working with a counselor there and it is really helping me.i was sceptical at first but online is making great changes for me it is most convenient and way cheaper too

You need a lift in your life. Maybe take an exotic holiday or get a hobby. I find filmmaking to be a very exiting occupation, and I would advise anyone in your condition to give it a try. Maybe put your depression into a film! It will take a load off your shoulders!

It is for me. But only to a point. After a while, I needa pick myself up again & get things done. Otherwise, I'd never heal to the point where I could carry on. ♥.blondy
