Hello. First time I've ever joined an online support group. Tired of feeling alone, tired of feeling crappy, tired of being depressed. I never would have dreamed that I would be dealing with this for over 25 years. Really sucks the fun out of life.

I can totally empathize I can't figure out how to get better

I used to handle it much better with a 'oh, well this is how I was made' attitude, but now I'm just mad that I'm stuck with this crippling disorder/disease/sickness. I know all the things I should do to help myself feel better, yet I'm frozen and can't seem to do any of them. I'm at the point that I feel proud if I leave the house on the weekend.

Im sorry your feeling this way i feel the same. I didnt even get out of my pjs today

I feel the same way and it really stinks! I wish we could figure something out. It seems as I'm getting older it's getting worse!

I don't know if this will help, but I felt that way - just really, really bad about a year ago. Now I feel better than I have in years. I made a lot of lifestyle changes and got on the right meds. It's made a huge difference. I swear, I would have been writing your exact words 12 months ago.

I should add, I expect it to rear it's head again at some point. When it does, I'm getting my butt to the doctor a lot faster than I did last time.

I feel sorry that you are afflicted the same awful way so many of us are.I feel like I am loosing part of my life, feel frozen and have a hard time doing anything. I read everything I can get my hands on. I have a great Doctor and a Psychiatrist, they are doing their best to help me, I let myself down I know I should walk everyday, but I do not, or ride my exercise bike. The new med. I am is Pristiq (on the generic) supposed to help depression and anxiety. I am also on Lithium for Bipolar II. I do what I can each day, trying no to beat myself up for not getting things done. We will get better, But the old BUT - it will take time, be good to yourself, try not to stay in bed, and remind yourself you are doing the best you can. I wish you well, send Peace, and Serenity.
