Some years you just cant wait till they are over and welcome in a new year, with a fresh new start,
with positive hopes and dreams ahead, which I hope anyone here knows to reach out and grab some
happiness however you can. Like Bono says 'Sing your heart out, sing my heart out', that makes me
happy to sing along with him, singing that.

I've been depressed since i was 11 (i'm 17 now). I had periods of being, not really happy, but not so bad, and than other times when i just can't motivate myself to get out of bed. My depression has put me in hospital twice I'm sorry to say both times after self-harming in one way or another.
Since i met Chris, however, things have been a lot better. Yes, i still definitely have my down days (Chris will vouch for that ) but I feel a lot happier in general than i did before, and i feel like i have more going on in my life that's worthwhile, and more to live for.

I don't know whether i'll ever be depression free, i have too much bad stuff going on my life which is never going to go away, but i know i can learn to live and cope with it in a better way.

2007-one of the worst years ever
2008-worst year of my life
2009-The climb out of the whole, one of my best
2010-Gonna be my best year

2003 - 2004 took care of my sick mom
2005 - she passed away
2005 - had to take over the house and her leftover finances which was difficult
2006 - got into a good grove and used U2 to stay positive almost every night
2007 - met Chris and he has helped me in many many ways, more than he even knows
2008 - 2009 staying positive
2010 - yes will be the best year yet.

I am confused, 2008 or 2007 may have been my worst year, but i discovered U2 then

Thats why you are now planning on good years.

2002 was by far my worst year. I spent a good part of it in a depressed state but ....

2003 was one of my best years!

2008 sucked for me and 2009 was slightly better. I'm anxious to see what 2010 brings me.

Depression is a lifelong, chronic, biochemical problem for me, and it's derailed my life on more than one occasion.

Unfortunately, I'm starting to sink again, so I'm seriously thinking of calling my doctor this very afternoon before it gets worse. Funny how this thread happened to start just when it's getting bad for me....2009 has been a very tough year for me, although I also had some nice blessings in the form of U2 concerts and new U2 fan friends.

Hi,
I understand you perfectly.
I think you should call your doctor and get some advice. Maybe a medicine?
What can make you happy? Joining this forum makes me happy, I am feeling much better when I am online. This is like another world.
But of course this won't cure you. Perhaps, you need somebody to talk to, somebody that you have confidence in, to tell that person your worries. You know that that will make you a little better.
You can always post me here or in my personal message (I am sorry about my english) and I am always here to listen to you.
I have been depressed for a long time, having my therapist, drugs..(I have never said that on this forum)
So I do understand you!
