But sometimes it's the other way around... because of not being able do get decent sleep you get into depression. I rarely sleep more than 6 hours but have periods I wake every cycle (1 hour and half for me) or/and have constant nightmares. When it's really bad I actually fear going to sleep knowing what is coming up thus going into a vicious circle which only can end up in serious depression while becoming a complete mental and physical mess. Add to that the incomprehension of people to the condition and you isolate yourself.

well its true, but for some reason I do like to have real bad nightmares and waking up in cold sweat, the rest of the day seems so unreal and sometimes even better then the previous one. It's like walking around in your sleep and having consctant smile on your face (more like it is in your head, but still), can get ugly, but not that often, and if it does get worst after waking up I just take some herbal stuff to make me go to sleep again :D
The only thing I actually miss from time when I was depressed all the time not only few days in the week is the nightmares, yeah I get them now now and then, but their not as bad :( My do not really like what I see when I see people, but after nightmares I can handle them better as I am not really there :)

I was a Psych major for a while, until I realized I would never be able to listen to people tell me how much they want to die all the damn time, and one thing Psych classes reaffirmed for me - NEVER TAKING MEDICATION EVER. The damn side-effects are worse than the problem! I'll just live with my crazy, thanks.

I can agree and disagree on this one. All the people who shows signs of depression should not get anti depressants, because they are not capable of handling the side effects, the mayor one is - making one even more depressed and suicidal, BUT there are loads of medication and loads of people who should get them! Teens should not get medication just for depression. It does more harm then good. The ones who are messed up, they should get it.
My friend had to drink heavy duty medication and it helped, yeah it did take a year or two and he was messed up from the medication, but now he is better. He was a total mess - running around with knife and beating people up, beating himself up, seeing stuff and so on. Now he is even capable of holding a job and a relationship. And no he is not a teen. The same goes for my aunt, she spent 1-2 years in and out of loony bin and drinking heavy medication. It took time, but now she can live an almost normal life, not that she ever lived a normal life, but now she can enjoy the stuff she likes to enjoy.
I doctor tried to give me schizophrenia pills just because I talk to myself and I get into heated discussions in my head. Whats wrong with that? Everybody does that. Doctors are dumb and do not know when one should and should not get medication. Its not medications fault that doctors are idiots.
True - most people do not have brain capacity or will to deal with their inner problems and understand themselves, but that's no reason to make them take pills.
dar I wrote a lot.....I was not planing on doing that >_<

I know (or rather knew) the feeling but the 'fun' isn't really there anymore when you get it for months without a break though (Yep, every single fucking night grmbl). I'm now on my fifth week of non-stop nightmares and last night was the first time it ended on a positive note (went from nightmare to romance ... and then my alarm clock went off of course ... DAMN!). I just hope this wasn't a fluke so I won't be a total wreck by the time I go to Japan on holiday (next month, finally! :D)

You guys actually remember your dreams?
Weird.

Uh, I usually fix these long run nightmares by getting dead wasted and smoke some weed before sleep if I just do not fall asleep while still drinking. Usually do not have any kind of dreams then.
@ metro. - mostly I do not remember them, just if they repeat again and again with no changes. I remember the feeling most of the time and some scenes, not the whole thing.
metro.:
Lol purple and alcohol will give you weird dreams.
Just saying. So I've heard at least.
Last time I remembered a dream was when I was in Grade 4.
