[*unlovedmonkey*]

How the hell do you get over depression if you dont realise that you are depressed?
Because many people tell me im depressed but i dont see it i reli dont... so how am i meant to be able to get over it if i dont even realise it because i seriously dont think im depressed so i dont understand why other people think i am

hi hun
allthough u may not feel it or know ...! some times the body and mind go into denile ...! u see something may have got too much and u have blanked it out without realisin ...! other ppl may see due to a mood change in what u do ...! ur whole self may have chnged but u dnt realise it ...! ur tellin ya sel to forget it all ...! but to other ppl its noticeable ...!
i find when i'm deppresed i listen to deep relaxiation tapes + hypnotheropy tapes to clear the mind and relax the body ...! which gives u time to think about everything thats gone on ..! its better than the pills ...! u may then realise what is causin the depression u may or may not have ...! but its worth a go ....!

i hope its of some use hun ..!
take care

I think the first step is to accept it. Do you write a diary? Maybe look at that and see any trends in mood emotions etc.

Thats what i was going to say. Maybe you could ask the people who think you are depressed why they think that.
