i fight depression every day, i fight to be happy and get up to make breakfast do the house work and make sure everything and everyone is taken care of no matter how bad i feel, i feel like i can fight depression, but my confidence is lower than ever and having an impact in many areas of my life, its holding me back and i dont want to be held back any more i've allowed it to continue for too long all ready.

anyone got any tips on rebuilding confidence that might actually work?

are you confident now and have you all ways been that way?
most depression is cause by a chemical defeciency !! plz see a doctor immediately and start thr trial&error process of which style of anti-depressants wrok for you.

I myself have been battling depression , only recently realizing it & after a
doctor forced me to take anti-depressants i gotta say at about the 4 week mark they started to work and i started feeling abit better and even listening to music know, istopped my chemical anti-depressant treament at the 8 week mark as i had several episodes that were mini-siezure from that piticular
chemical i hope i'm not going to slip back into the severe depressive state i was in, iam planning to try other chemical anti-depressants and see what kinda of reaction i get them and i'll end up picking the one that works best for me, i also believe i have figured out i'm actually bipolar/MDD/adhd co-concureentbut feeling better that i had positive results from the 8 week trial.

the best thing you can do is find the wright doctor that will believe you and help you proper thru the trial & error phase i would also recomend trying the older and more proven chems as the new ones are not proven and can have potential fatal sideeffects good luck :thumbsup:
