Hey thanks, that was a great post :) Your right, the cause of your depression will have some impact. I guess what I was getting at was that all types of depression are significantly difficult to deal with. I think there has been some reference to depression caused solely by the HSC...

ah I see :) Yeah, good luck to you too. It can't be easy to keep it all hidden. :( Do you talk to anyone about it? Have you got any support? Depression can make you feel really alone, so going through it alone is probably just going to add to that feeling, and make it a lot...

Really though? Because the final diagnosis is still 'Depression'. It's still the same illness. Sure, it can differ in severity, but it can certainly still affect people just as significantly as depression caused by other factors. Let be fair here... depression is depression...

Hmm I actually never intended this thread to be about depression due to the HSC. I was more just talking about dealing with depression while doing the HSC. The cause of depression is irrelevant in the end, because regardless, it's going to make you feel like shit. Even though I have never...

haha... well that's awesome you have found release. :) Exercise can be good for that! Ash ;)

haha Kinds true. I see both sides :)

:) That's so nice to hear that you're supportive of her. I'm sure your advice will help! It's probably really refreshing for people to hear that a person that is not depressed, still can understand depression enough to recognise that it's significant. Thanks so much for you input. I hope...

That sounds great :) That would be a really good career I think. And those types of industries are growing, hey? Good luck with it! I hope you get in and get the UAI you're hoping for. If not, well there are other ways to get there. Have a good night Eggy, Ash

Yeah that's awesome advice. Getting out of the house and getting some fresh air can often really help you to clear your head, hey? Exercise can help too :) haha yes actually, that it probably the thing I would most like to do. Maybe law of teaching though... not sure. But i'm pretty sure my...

Yeah I know what you mean. I hate that it's a competition. I hate competitions, period. But yea, there are always people in the same boat as you... sometimes it's just a huge boat that you can't see them. Ahhh wasn't that just a terrific analogy. hahaha oh dear... :z

I think you have a point. School now is supposed to be a lot harder than it was during the time of most of our parents. There is an increased pressure today to enter tertiary education. In order to have a reliable career, it is generally expected that one has undergone further education...

I'm being serious. It's great that person has found something that helps them to cope. I'm not being sarcastic in any way. I'm very sorry if it came across that way.

Hi again :) Oh, I didn't actually make the thread with the purpose of depression DUE to the HSC it was more about dealing with depression (no matter what the cause) during the HSC. Hmm... well I promise you that your problem is significant. If you are having trouble connecting with...

We were just mucking around, Trying to make a joke about something that was getting us all down, that's all. Sorry if I upset anyone. :(

haha That's my thesis too. I did a speech on it and my first line was: "Belonging does not exist" I got a few weird looks... But I really think it's true, it doesn't exist.

haha Yeah, you're pretty funny yourself. Have you ever thought about a career in comedy? I think it's your calling...

hahaha hell yeah!!!! I think they should say... 'EMBRACE FAILURE!' on the front and then 'Failing buddies 09' on the back. What do you think? :p

:( Oh, it sounds like things are really really hard. Are you worried about someone betraying your trust if you tell them how you are feeling? You, teachers or other people that work with young people are not allowed to betray your trust unless they have fears for your safety. Can we...

I am SO jealous! Dear God..

Jesus... that's amazing. How dedicated are you!!! Wanna trade motivation levels with me?
