GOOD DAYS /BAD DAYS

As anybody out there whom has been following me, you will know about my own troubles over the last year or so. My depresion which has always bene there lingering in the background was triggered by my split from my long term GF/ and the slow declined of my Mums health.

Just a update , these days Im having more better days than bad. m still on Med. Fluoxetine/ 40mg a day. The days when Im bad I get really low.which then gets me thinking of the past. I some times wish I could just turn the clock back 2 years. I suppose that's th line in the sand. when I went from be very happy to being sad and stressed. I am now lucky enough to have a new partner in my life whom has been wonderful. however she has only known me as this stressed unhappy person. Is it wrong of me to still think of the past, Even though I know that there is no future with me and the ex GF I suppose the represents that time in my life where everything seemed to be going well for me. Anyway I wont give up, I will make that effort everday to carry on with life as i know that life wont always be crap and that there are good things still to come in the future/ its just these bad days which realy hit me// so as they say its 2 steps forward 1 step back at times

Hi Scottie,

I admire your attitude, it will lead to your success! I'm sorry that you're still having significant down times. It's entirely possible those will go away eventually...and no one can say when because you're unique in all the world. I had complete remission of my depression for many many years while on 40mg of Prozac/fluoxetine. I pray the same happens for you.

Hugs, Love, and Blessings...

I know what you mean ,depression and anxiety are a beast to beat, sometimes they become so much a part of us we don't even realize we still have them, I guess we learn to live with them like chronic pain, it just becomes the normal. I recently went to a visit with a neurologist regarding an episode I had that put in the Hospital. It appeared to be a stroke, but no indication on imaging, yet I have long term deficits from it ( it happened in June) According to him and a neuropsychologist I suffer from Anxiety,even though I don't feel anxious . but I guess I's so used to being anxious I don't know what normal feels like.even though I take anti anxiety medicine. so apparently my anxiety triggered some kind of a seizure that has messed me up cognitively. But I am a Christian so I try to leave my worries with God, and one of my coping methods is simple counting my blessings. I dont know if you have anyone you talk to professionals but here is a number for a great place that offer free counselling advise and can refer you to professionals in your area. FOTF Counseling Line 1-855-382-5433 also here is a list of resources on depression that might help bit.ly/2yc8nk5. Prayers my Friend

Our minds can not be full of God at the same time they are full of fear! Don't get lost in your troubles. Lift up your eyes! He will keep in perfect peace all those who trust in him whose thoughts turn often to the Lord ( Isaiah 26:3)
