I see everybody I know living life so happy doing the things I wish I could do. Everyday am struggling with a
New symptoms and I feel so disappointed and worthless as a mom can’t do the simplest things like cook and clean I been praying night and day I don’t know what else to do
Sad to hear that. How many months/years since your depression started?
I been depressed since my teen years and I use to self medicate with alcohol and just stop drinking 2 months ago and started taking antidepressants and my mental is just a roller coaster ride of emotions and going through different symptoms daily am just getting tired now and I think am going through menopause
I'm very glad to hear you're off alcohol and starting to take real medication to help with your depression. Getting your brain chemistry in check can be a journey, and I hope it works out for you. A few months is just the start. Your perfect mix could be right around the corner. Good luck, stay strong.
Wish I would had known this year ago I would had never pick up a drink I been self medicating for to many years I loss count of and I don’t know if the medication is working and am just tired of everything right now I been crying most of the day going to continue to pray and thank you
Thank you am trying but is feels like is getting worse and am just tired right now
Same to u
Oh no please don’t think that, I know it’s hard especially this time of year, seeing happy families. As soon as I start feeling anxious I realize they are just feelings and let them pass, it’s hard I know but believe you will overcome this, try doing small things and don’t push yourself I’ll be thinking of you, you’re stronger than you think.
So sorry you’re feeling this way. I completely relate to how you’re feeling. It’s like everyday is filled with so many ups and downs you just don’t now how to prepare. One positive thing I guess from experiencing depression and anxiety is we become much more aware of our bodies and minds. I used to just always push through the down cycles and would ultimately push myself too far. Now I know it’s ok to just take a break and be kind to myself for a few hours or even the day if I can. There is no right or wrong way. It’s really, really hard. I pray for me, you, the people on this forum and everyone hurting with these illnesses each and every day!! You’re doing a great job no matter where you are💜
Awww thank you I appreciate it
Thank you for your encouragement as well. Hope you’re feeling better!
Thank you
tamka - I know the feeling - I wish i could be happy and relaxed- all the time but it is tough. When I get really bummed out I think of things that make me happy and try to get the negative stuff out of my swirling mind. Easier said then done but keep looking forward
So tired
Tired of fighting
Tired..
Am I cursed? 
Tired.
