Can't remember when I wasn't depressed

[Michelle85]

I've sufferd with depression for many years and often feel like unless you have it you don't understand seeing some of these posts got me so bad because I can relate to so many of them make you realise it's not all me ❤️

Same here you have to fight back otherwise it takes control over you I have been crying since 3am this morning had a shower still crying washing away the tears watching tv to try and preoccupy my mind it is hard do we give in and just go with the flow and say well it's a bad day to day or fight back and get exhausted counsellor told me to go with the flow it's one of those days it will pass given time the winter is much worse cos we don't get any sunshine hope you feel better soon I read self help books or draw or doggie as my drawing is not that good it's relaxation for the mind sometimes we take too much on board and it is too much for us to cope with without realising what we are doing find something that can help you to relax your mind sending your hugs hope your day gets better

You are certainly not on your own, you're in varied company.

Totally understand. I feel like I'm a hair's breadth away from just standing up and walking away from working, for ever. I don't function well in the work environment and only do it because of responsibilities.

I am very lucky, I know it. But still I hate my life. With a passion. It feels like the misery will never end. I will never be happy again.
