I dont mean to sound like an asshole, but if everyone in the world was da shit like I am, then depression would cease to exist.

thanks... i know it's temporary but everytime i start getting/feeling ok i just fall again.

i know i'll get better eventually... i'm trying to stay more positive. i have really good days and then really bad ones...

Grrrrrrrr. Get your dosage adjusted!!! The ups and downs probably have nothing to do with your attitude but are tied to not having enough of the chemical in your system.

btw, in response to musclebrains post

gonadal steroids indirectly effect neurotransmitter levels. Its best not to be on steroids if ur suspectable to depression, since some will give u that "Crash" feeling after u go off.

I took a course on hormnes and behaviour/endcrinology, so Im no specialist, but I do know steroids do effect neurotransmitter levels, so u might want to take that under advisement

Yeah, I was wondering if the use of steroids itself might not contribute to depression in many men here. It seems like an abnormally high percentage of people reporting depresson serious enough to warrant medication. But maybe it's not.

I dont have my endcrinology book here , so I cant give u the specifics, but I do know jacking a persons system with artifical hormones reeks havoc on a persons bodys hormonal system.

Hormones and neurotransmitters indirectly effect the production and secretion of each using different forms of positive/negative feedback looks.

If I remember correctly the pituatary gland is the juncture between neurotransmitters and hormonal secretion. Neurotransmitters acting through the hypothalamus stimulate neurons in the pituatary that go on to release hormones that effect the secretion and production of other hormones in the bodys visceral hormone glands ex gonads.

In turn, the level of hormones in a person system, regulate the amount of neurotransmitters that are released in the brain. In that way, both hormones and neurotransmitter levels are effected by each other. This is one of the fascinating characteristics of the human body: its ability to find homostasis using different indications of internal activity.

Im no expert, but thats the basics of how hormone levels can effect neurotransmitter activity.



How do u quote someone btw??? like how u quoted me

well i'm having that dilemma because i'm on effexor and i'm having nightmares every night that people i know are pointing out my flaws...

i'm usually extremely organised and focused and i'm neither lately.

so i don't know if the drugs are helping or i just need to try harder...

I am on meds; I dunno how much/if they help but lots of people seem to think they do.

Anyway I think that most people who know about it think that meds alone won't totally help; you need friends and a balanced life, probably, to feel better. Meds can't totally fix things like stress in your life, lack of sleep, an isolated life, etc. Those are things you can begin to work on and hopefully it will help you feel better, gradually. Good luck...

love

I suspect steroids make people feel better as a rule. Perhaps they were already depressed and decided to try and improve their life by looking better? Crashing post cycle is bad news until the nuts are online again. I suspect that extremely heavy lifting turns a lot of people into vegetables. So they do little or nothing when not at the gym. Hence...depression. Also, the WTC disaster has put the whole country in a funk. Unless they are sympathetic to OBL...some are.

Oh yea...I almost forgot...daised, how can you be depressed for long over a rude phone call from a guy that you don't even see? You have got to toughen up I'm afraid.

my problem is i'm too nice, i never tell people off and get hurt easily. i'm not mean to others and therefore expect others not to be mean to me, i guess i have too high of expectations

 

[smallmovesal]

daised i'm like that too... really sensitive

 

[daised]

ya, i've always been this way. wheni was little my parents use to make fun of me for it! can you believe that? i don't know what to tell you. i always get let down by people- people who i thought were my friends. it takes a while to realise that people will always let you down, just don't let yourself down.
