I've stopped studying, I've stopped looking for better work, I'm sleeping 10 or more hours per day, and I'm drinking every day. Other from that everything is just fine.

You are smart enough to recognize the signs/symptoms of depression.

Are you getting help?
 
I saw one for almost a year, I thought it helped, it did NOT. I do have a prevailing feeling of pointlessness/hopelessness. Nothing I've done is changing my disposition and outlook, nothing I've done has changed anything other than let me parents know that they sucked, that's pretty much all I've accomplished.

My Mom just wrote me a letter asking me to let her into my life, all that does is piss me OFF, she's a little late to be asking me that. I've not wrote back. If I do have a talk with her again, we're gonna have a "conversation" and with my Dad there as well.

I don't know what to say but

that was a great way to assert yourself there -

and also

have you thought about talking to a pdoc?

I talked to my general praciticioner -

he gave me a med call - proproponlol or something

it's for stage fright and athletes -
it calmed me down enough to see how deperessed i was - and like things intellectually came to the fore -

I have a friend - I coudl vent with online - and so - I had an expressive outlet -

where - i was not alone with my feelings -

just please keep posting here -

about anything you feel -

so it won't back up -

depression is anger gone inward -

get it out dude -

6 months ago I felt much the way you do now.

The anxiety was all consuming, and the depression was "coming to a head".

I ended up diverting from my way to work one night and ended up in the Emergency room because I knew what i was feeling wasn't right.

Long story short I am on Paxil (GREAT for anxiety and depression), clonazapham (for anxiety and to help with sleep) and Imovane (again to help with sleep/nightmares)

In 6 weeks I was a new man. The fog that engulfed my head was gone. The iron vise around my chest was gone. I felt like I hadn't in longer than i could remember. I had forgotten how good it felt to feel good.
What I didn't realize is that Depression isn't only in yor head, but it causes you physicak pain. Pain that comes on gradually and you don't notice that it is there until it is gone. Aches, pains, headaches, sore back, stomach problems...

Go see a GOOD Shrink, go to the emergency room to get referred and some meds. Give it a few weeks and you WILL see some light at the end of the tunnel.
 
Hauser,

Onefastbike has some good advice. I would also add that "one size does NOT fit all". You may go through many different meds and therapists before you find the right one that works for you. You are worth the effort!

I must reply here. I went through severe depression. I have gone through it several times. I am taking several medications now. I plan to stay on them.
