Depression

[Findmebythesea]

I am at a point where I Have been in treatment for anxiety and depression for the better part of 10 years. I still don’t feel well. Sometimes it is just the hardest thing to get out of bed and do the bare minimum to get out and go to work. I look around and my apartment is a disaster. Stuff is everywhere- Christmas decor I haven’t put away, piles of clothes where it is unclear what is dirty or clean, bags and boxes and mail and things I ordered online that I have not even opened. I am depressed. And right now, I am having trouble seeing any way out of this. I am so tired.

Hi Findmebythesea,

Good for you for finding the courage to take your situation and put it into writing. It can be very therapeutic to get it out onto the screen. To then share it with others with a desire to reach out for support takes courage. It seems like you may be at a turning point in your life? A turn for the better? I wish that for you.

I hope you don’t mind me asking, have you been to see a therapist or for counselling? Reading self help books or attending mindfulness (or other support) groups, if there is one in your area, can be very helpful.

I like the name you have chosen ‘findmebythesea’. Can you tell us more about why you chose that name, if you feel comfortable to do so?

Wishing you only all the best,

I have felt the same, cluttered place, not wanting to get out of bed, the daily struggle that goes years. Feel free to msg me and we can try to support each other if youd be interested....I too really hope things get better for you and for all struggling, soon~

The only way out sweetheart is to take one day at a time, and one step at a time. Be kind to yourself and set reasonable expectations. Trying to tackle a month's worth of tasks in a day's time is way too daunting and will add more stress. There are better ways to handle this.

Working toward goals can be broken down into smaller segments so you can feel a sense of accomplishment. And I think the very first thing a person can do is to believe they can experience a change - if they look in right places for help. Let's talk about this.

Many healthcare providers have been trained to do only one thing - and that is to figure out which medication might be a good match for the symptoms a person experiences. But that is only one little tiny slice of the answer. God made the human body so magnificent and there are such better solutions! So that is why someone can expect to have the root problem looked at and corrected when they visit with a functional doctor specializing in endocrinology. The root problem is most likely coming from an imbalance of hormones in your system and can be addressed with some very simple steps. It's really that easy.

I hope you can consider looking into this approach. I am one of many women I know who have gone this route and have seen such a dramatic difference in our outlook on life. Please feel free to write back if you'd like more information.
