Not sure how to cope

[sea4236]

I’m not really sure how to even write this post. I’ve recently started having anxiety attacks and started realizing that I am dealing with depression. I cry for what seems like no reason, at least I can pinpoint one. I feel sad most of the time and I feel alone when I am like this. My fiancé tries to be here for me, but I know that he doesn’t really know what to say or what to do. I guess I am here in hopes of finding someone that understands what it’s like to feel the way I do.

Yes, sea4236, I most of us, maybe all of us, understand perfectly well what you mean and what you're going through. So you are definitely not alone! What is most important that you know in this moment is: it is possible to go out of this!

How long have you been feeling like this? Is it within your possibilities to look for professional support?

Thanks for replying!

I have had little bouts over the last couple of years, but I was able to handle them. This time is so different though. It’s like I’m sad all the time, I feel like I could sleep all day. I am in the process of trying to find a professional to talk to. But I also feel like finding others to talk to about this would help me.

Yes, sea4236, i understand how you feel. I just got thrown out of project and i am back to my depression, and i also can sleep all day instead of doing things according to my plan. But i know that it is important to do one thing at a time, stay active, because if we give in and sleep all day, we would feel worse( at least i will). But it is so nice to have people who understand and share the same experiences. thank you for your post, and let me express my support for you. I am also thinking of getting professional support, but i really hope that this support group is good for us. I feel that i just need not to keep it inside and share, it might help you as well.

Yes, thank you. I also try to do one thing at a time. I’ve only just joined this group but I feel like it will be a good thing.
