Uh, back in high school I was kinda down on Sunday nights since I had to go back to crumby ol' school the next day. It went away in college and at work though.

Friday night depression? Never heard of that.

consider yourself very fortunate if you only experience it for a few hours

Yeah, on sundays when I was out until 9 in the morning and wake up at 5 PM with a cat in my mouth and cornflakes in my eyes.

while they may be very valid feelings of crapinessy its not depression... maybe in emo life sure is tough way but not real depression...

what are young ones made of today? sponges...?

[Jazz]

I can't sleep Sunday night--weird pre-Monday stress. But I don't feel any MORE depression than usual. ...whenever I'm depressed. :P :)

[paran0id]

ROFL, sad panda is sad xD

[Portus]

Even my dreams are depressive.

Hehe I used to get depressed alot on holidays, especially when I was a kid...not really sure why. My parents called it "The Christmas Funk." To this day I actually have a hard time getting excited about things, and find that the more people around me are excited about something, the less excited I get. I realize it's fairly childish to have such a reactionary emotional response, and I've gotten a lot better about not being that way, but sometimes it flys in under the radar and I don't even realize I'm acting that way till later. I was never one for birthdays either...anything that made me the center of attention always evoked a negative response out of me. I suppose that's fairly pathological eh? :-P I think I'm a much more even person now than I was in those days, (thanks, atleast in part, to ecstasy and LSD...now there's something you don't here on the news everyday!) however I still have to battle off the dark clouds pretty regularly. I've just gotten better at it.

waa waa waa, how emo/goth of me :P all that having been said, generally my outlook is to be happy as much as you can because the time you have to do it in is growing shorter by the second. No sense in making yourself feel bad to satisfy some self-indulgent, self-destructive desire to be miserable.

I'm quite convinced that depression is a 100% avoidable, try to make the best of everyday and having realistic goal setting plans for the future in long and short term is a great way. The feeling of achievement is great, and if you keep that mind set it will make your life more fullfilling which will drastically decrease or most likely remove any depression.

You only live once, why waste it?
Most of the western culture seems to not realise how much they have in comparison to third world countries.

Also, depression is not that emotion when you emotionally feel sad or lonely.

The new generations seem to have a misconception of the term depression.

all I know is that I don't take anyone who says they're depressed all the time very seriously anymore. Its like a big trend among every art school kid, I personally don't think its cool to have problems. Or interesting. Just go and do whatever you want and quit being lazy. :O

Money and health doesn't buy happiness. Of course we should all count our blessings, but whenever someone asks you if you'd first have health, wealth, or happiness, what's your first choice? Someone can be perfect healthy and have money to live, but simple existence does not always mean happiness.

There was a CAer a bit back that killed himself, my uncles son (I guess my step-cousin) shot himself recently after being depressed for a long period of time. I think we should take them seriously unless it's obviously apparent they only want attention. Those who suffer silently aren't getting much attention out of it...

Agreed. I think it goes with the trend that the harder you had it in life the cooler you are, since you had to endure one thing or another. If it's genuine or not, depression is never cool, fun or interesting.

Just go and do whatever you want and quit being lazy

I hope this is aimed at the 'non-genuine' depressives, since calling depressed people 'lazy' because of a trend in our youth is akin to calling homeless people 'lazy.' Will power sometimes only goes so far, and everyone needs help from time to time.

True, very true, but I was more referring to those who think their life is so hard; "my life sucks" etc etc, and not endured true "depression" or other horrible life experiences. Whilst those in third world countries for example, have much harder lives.

[Mr.Delicious]

yea, let me rephrase that... I don't take the kids who come out and wanna tell you everything ever thats wrong seriously. Most of them are just trying to get girls to be sympathetic with them and think they're so... well, emotional I guess or emo. There you go, I don't take emo kids seriously. If a friend has a personal problem and you can tell theyre actually depressed then of course I don't ignore them. Just never if its to make a girl/guy feel important.

Yeah, same.

All those comments sound uncomfortably familiar to me. Probably because I stated things like that some years ago at the same place. Since then, I've learned a lot and I'm now able to keep depression and bad days apart. The one is something every person has, probably more often than "once a year", while the other can be a chronic psychological disease. And while both are pretty unhealthy, one can put lives to an end very quickly.

So unimad:
Yes, this happens to a lot of people, to a greater or lesser extent. If it's becoming chronic, this might be (read: might! be) a sign of something bigger in the background and should be examined. Plus it's never bad to ask.

I always thought depression was bullshit until I got put on Zoloft. My life practically did a 180. I felt better about myself and my life, I even went back to school. I am no longer taking meds because I have learned to hold onto that feeling by myself. But now I realize that I had no idea what I was talking about before this. Its hard to understand if you have not been through it but depression is a valid problem. Its not always something that can be cured by being told to cheer up.

Ooops I visit lounge again after 3 days and there are lots of feedback, thanks guys,

I googling "holiday depression" and find lots of informations, seems like this is more common than what I think, more than 80% of peoples around the globe experience this hangover at evening of holidays.

But still can't find any logical explanation to this!
I don't understand why we have bad mood or sense of hangover at evening of holidays without any reason or depression background!!

Usually I'm very sensitive, depressed and feeling down, but in evening of holidays I feel something difference, beyond common depression or mental illness...something weird...

I ask many peoples and they agree with holidays evening bad mood!


Thanks again
