That short-fuse thing probably IS a part of the depression, Greenport. In young men--and in men in general--depression is frequently expressed as anger. Y'all tend to act out on depression more than girls/women do. We exhibit more classic, straightforward depression and sadness. This was one of the first things they taught us in my medical psychopathology class this year--about the different ways depression comes out in the two genders.

Shrinks can be tremendously helpful. It's been really nice to see how supportive everyone has been here, too. Thanks, guys!
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . Depression whilst smoking? When I smoke I think alot. and the last time i smoke I couldent stop thinkin about how fast I grew up and my perception of my future was grim. I know im not that old yet but what if, when I was younger I hadnt wished to grow up so fast? What if I could just go back and experience the innocence of being a child just 1 more time? Iv been wondering about this alot and its got me in a depressed like state.. I dunno who to talk to so I thought Id post it here since you guys are very nice and helped Rating: 5
