肯上论坛来讲讲吐吐苦水的，即使有忧郁症的症状，都还是有救的。忧郁症最怕的就是彻底把自己封闭起来，然后就会越来越严重。

我自己也经历过忧郁症，短时间内撞了两回车（还好，都是小事故），高速路上错过出口然后转圈跑的例子就举不胜举了，反正整个的就不在状态。

每个人的性格不一样，解决问题的方式也不一样。对我来讲，找人说说是很有效的办法，我也一直都会找信得过的朋友去说，让自己当“祥林嫂”。结果我那个朋友在我的QQ评语上给我加了一条“习惯性絮叨”，看到他那个评语，倒是让我失笑。

给自己找个出口是关键，这个出口在哪里，自己可能都不清楚，但最主要的是不要小看了自己的忧郁症症状，不要放弃努力去寻找出口。真的很严重的话，还是要寻求医生的帮助。但长期依靠药物肯定不是办法，还是要从精神和行为上去寻找出路。
