strange depression...

[tannerdanger3]

lately i've been in a really strange mood. I used to be usually really outgoing and social, but recently i've been depressed and withdrawn. every week or so when i look back it feels like "back then was a better time." i struggle to get out of bed and i struggle even harder to leave the house and do things. when i do get active, i find that the things i used to find fun and enjoyable are not even slightly entertaining now. honestly i've become really anti-social and i spend most of my time alone reading and when people come home i book straight to my room. i frequently think about what would happen if i was just dead but i don't know that i would ever act on that. i'm just really in an aweful place right now and it's hard not knowing why.

can anyone suggest a way to turn this around or has anyone ever felt like i have? any imput would cause me to you for lief.

Maybe try reading through posts in The Dark Side? For me, the only real cure for depression is exercise. Doesn't have to be strenuous, just a walk somewhere nice, like in nature, really helps level out my thoughts. It's a great way to do something positive without having to concentrate.
