My daughter loves animals too. She's in a group at school (FFA). She likes being with those kids because they share her love for animals, and sympathize if you've lost a special animal friend. You're going through normal emotions for your pony. This sense of loss is part of life, but try to think of all the good memories with her/him. Let your grieving takes its natural course, you will feel better in time. and remember, "Today is a gift, that's why it is called the Present"

My dog died a few months ago, which upset me greatly, she was a best friend to me (I realised animals are much more loyal than people) and im outgrowing my pony, so soon he will be in a new home and I cant bear the thought of someone else riding him, i cant explain it its like ive got him finely tuned to act on my commands and my style of riding and you honestly get some awful riders, hes very tempermental :)
Saying that, I dont think that is why im so upset, if im honest I dont know at all.. im realy confused about it :/ but thanks for answers! x

I also suffered lots of panic attacks and tension headaches, and I had little desire to eat or do anything.
My depression cleared up when I admitted to myself that my relationship was not working and that I had to break up. Been fine since.
So on that note, is there something of that nature bothering you?

reader, anonymous, writes (19 November 2008): I've been through this, and what I've learned is Depression is SUPRESSED FEELINGS, and DENIAL.
If you supress your feelings long enough, then your brain doesn't function properly. Your moods are off kilter. You're watching others live life, and you're at a stand still.
Please pray or talk out your feelings to a trusted person/councelor. They can help you get to the Root of your problem. Your mind is 'telling' you to deal or face a problem/situation in your life that you've been avoiding.
I also drank de-caf green tea. For some reason it helped clear my mind.
and remember, there's always HOPE.

 There are a lot of websites you can look at regarding depression. Low energy, feeling nothing will ever change, negative attitude about self and life are some of the symptoms. Holiday and winter season is a hard time for a lot of people.
Do you have a supplement in your country called SAMe? It really is a very helpful vitamin sort of thing. Try not to sleep too much and get out and around people you enjoy being with. Just don't spend too much time alone.
Eat well, try to keep busy if you can and try not to dwell on sad feelings. The more you dwell, the worse the thoughts become.
Take a fun class if you can.... art, sports, something that requires physical movement or using your creativity.
Hope that helps.
Just don't take medication from the doctor because that causes more problems than helps. AND DON'T USE DRUGS OR ALCOHOL!

I think you're just having a depressive episode. There are actually several different kinds of depression. Why depressed?
