feeling depressed


21 years ago 0 148 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
You are rgith it has consumed my life and my familys. Its all we talk about now a days and its all anything is based around. My 5 yo asks every morning "mommy you still sick". My older son too. My husband can't stay home daily or even come home from work early very often. He's a chief in the navy and that's just not done. =0( The friedns (support system) I had back when I got my first relapse in 2001 who stayed with me have day jobs now. SO I am on my own most of the time to stew in my own mental juices...

Shedav, You are pretty much a mirror of myself in my earlier years of panic attacks, husband would have to rush home from work, stay home with me, I absolutely could not function. My kids I would not let go outside to play with friends, I needed someone to be with me. The good news is- I did overcome this. Early years, I depended upon my general doctor who did diagnose me, but he kept urging me to see a psychiatrist as the years passed, and this behavior that you are going through, like I did, seemed to take over my life. I sought out a specialist in the field of panic attacks, he also worked in PTSD only. It was with his help, medication, knowledge, understanding my fears, that I was able to overcome this with God's help. Please for someone who has been there, please seek out a specialist in this area. Email me hun, if you ever need to talk. crabbyroadsmymama@yahoo.com Sincerely, Trish

I am feeling a huge amount of depression today. Unsure why......I am sad that I still have this stuff at the level I do after 4 weeks.(not that I am counting) I am scared to be alone at the house. Keep my kids home from shcool. Today my husband stayed home from work. I feel as though there is no "STOP" button for this malicious ride. I need help. PLEASE

Hi. I also suffer from depression and panic disorder. I get about 8-10 hours of sleep per night and still wake up very tired throughout the day. It is common to feel this way with depression. You may want to try seeing a doctor and maybe get on a anti-depressant if your symptoms get worse. I take Zoloft and Ativan, been taking them for about 2 weeks now. I am starting to be able to function more and not be so tired all the time. Try to keep the negative thoughts out of your mind. It is very hard. Try to do things that you enjoy and be around positive people

Hi everyone, I haven't really posted any messages because I've been doing so well. However, this past week I've been feeling anxious. I've been really tired even though I've been sleeping close to 10 hours of uninterrupted slumber. I quit my job and I'm moving out of my parents house tomorrow and moving to my boyfriends who lives 3 hours away. I feel really depressed. I'm scared I'm gonna go into a downward spiral. I don't feel happy. I feel I have nothing to look forward to. I will be starting a new job tomorrow. Actually its where I worked when I was in school. Did anyone else feel really tired even though they slept well at night. This is leading to anxiety. I'm afraid of dying or getting really depressed. I don't know what to do??? Anyone have anything inspiring to tell me... Nicole
