My soul is even crying

Hi, I am new here, I have suffered depression and anxiety for almost 30 years now. This Holiday season has been my worst yet. I have sought psychiatric care and have meds that help some but not this year. I am soo depressed and lonely. I have have spent 34 hours out of the last 36 alone and it is really getting to me. I have no one I can reach out to and it is really bothering me!

Anxiety and depression are hard to deal with and to have the holidays on top of that makes it that much worse. I'm sorry you're going thru this. I have suffered from anxiety and depression for over 20 years. Being on medication is the only thing that helps. It seems to return when I stop. I just keep hoping that someday I won't need them. I have a hard time being around people when I feel anxious or depressed. Maybe you can talk to your Dr. about increasing your dose or changing your medication. Hope you feel better soon.

I am so sorry, I too have had depression and anxiety on and off for 40 years. You are not alone.I am with you. I know the holidays are hard. I dread them. I focus on their religious meaning and try not to get caught up in the pressure to be thrilled. I was in the hospital in October and I still don't feel right. Only with God's grace am I alright. Don't isolate try and make contact!

You are not alone.

I am so sorry that you are feeling lonely and depressed. I wish there was more I could do to help ease your heart ache. Perhaps getting a pet could help combat the loneliness. My dog bandit has been a lifesaver for me.

I am sorry you are feeling this way, I can relate because I am going through the same

thing right now. The holiday season is always tough. Hope you start to feel better soon.
