Is Anyone Out There?

Hi, yeah i can relate!!! I hope you are getting some other help too? For me, its meds plus books, plus tactics a psychologist taught me. Plus some online stuff. Also i am getting better at realising i have physical pain and treating that is a good idea too. One thing that helps for me, is to prioritise, some times people say write a list...yeah right... ok, having had my grump i write a list BUT it is of the things i already did today! and i give myself points for staying alive too. I don't know your situation... but if you have not yet SEE A DOCTOR. If you have seen a doctor and are not comfortable asking questions get another doctor. Getting medications can help in a big big way. If you have not had some form of "talk" therapy get your doctor to suggest people. If you have tried these and they did not work for you...then you need to try a different sort of both...its like getting a dress made - you have to try it on several times before it is just right.( mum made me a dress once - i remember that bit) OHh yeah!!! yr doctor SHOULD run some basic screeing tests (yes again!) to see if you have iron defiency etc. etc. Most days i can't do hope...but i sure can do stubborn (it keeps me alive) wishing comfort to you. rosethorn

hi gisg. my husband is the same way. he always says stop crying, that isn't going to help anything. a real big help---not. maybe we can help each other feel better about life and finally find some joy in it. don't think i have laughed for months now. to much on my mind to try to take care of by myself. post often. would like to hear from you.

GISG, The members will be along shortly to share their experiences with you. Take today to do something for yourself and relax yourself into sleep. Start fresh tomorrow and take a look at the program nd take it step by step. It can really assist and help you pinpoint areas to help you progress. There is a lot information to read, so take the time to go through slowly. We are always here :) Josie ___________________________________ The Depression Center Support Team.

I am having one of my down days ... physically I feel like my body weighs 100 tons and getting out of bed is the most impossible thing to do. Every little task seems to take more energy than I have. I cannot seem to get myself going on this program even though I really do want to try it. My hope was that if I could just get started on it, maybe it would make a difference. I have struggled with depression most of my life and I believe I am currently in another major depressive episode which is in itself discouraging. I just thought I would write to see if there is anyone out there who understands what this is like and who has any suggestions. My husband does not understand anything about being depressed and so provides no support. In fact, he makes me feel guilty and weak - like I should be ashamed of myself for not being more productive, etc. (even though I know that this is a "sickness" and I should not feel ashamed). Anyway, that is all I can write today, but maybe there are others out there that I can connect with who understand these feelings, because right now I feel very alone.
