In a slump

[Afg18c]

So I have not been clinically diagnosed with depression but I’ve been but on anxiety med( I do not take because they make me sleep). Lately

I have just been extremely down. I don’t know if it that I’m homesick or what. I just finished school. Just trying to get the testing done. I haven’t felt like my normal self in a long time. I don’t take to my fiancé hardly anymore. Work has been good other than my coworkers. I enjoy my job but I’m not sure if it the thing for me right now. Since I have moved out I feel like this depression has became worse. I don’t want to leave my bedroom. I don’t have anyone to talk to since I moved out all my family and friends are a hour away and I feel like it’s a inconvenience for them to drive a hour. I haven’t thought about self harm in over a year. If I feel like it is a demon creeping back up on me. I have tried to explain this to my doctor but I’m not sure if she actually believes me. I just would like some one to talk to that can help me get out of this slump. And so it is all over the place.

Good for you to reach out. Are there any groups near you that you could attend for support also. They don't always have to be just for depression. Many churches have support groups that accept most conditions.

I’m new to the area and don’t know much other than how to get to the necessary places.

Hey just know you’re not alone in this, depression really sucks and it’s so so hard. But coming out of it makes us so much stronger! It doesn’t last forever even though it sometimes seems like it. You must help yourself to you know. I know what it’s like not wanting to talk to people or leaving my bedroom. It always feels like it’s eating me alive some days but DO NOT LET IT ! You need to help yourself such as doing little things for yourself and forcing yourself to do things such as getting up out of bed and going for a walk outside. It gets better!

I am so sorry you are dealing with this. Anxiety and depression are very difficult things to deal with. Have you talked to your doctor that prescribed you the meds and told them that they make you sleep? If you tell them, they can get you another type of medicine to help you. Also, have you talked to your fiance or family about what you are going through? it always helps to have people you trust know what you are going through so they can try and help the best way that they can. I hope everything gets better!
