3 weeks ago I was hit with a bout of depression. I have managed my depression for years but something happened and here I am. I'm on new medication they say will take 6-8 weeks to work. That seems like a lifetime to me. I'm sad and worried I won't overcome this episode of depression. Each day is a struggle just to get out of bed. Any words of encouragement out there?

I hope this new medication works for you. I’m in the same situation but mines with my anxiety. Just stick with it and know that the people here really care. Everyone here understands what you’re going through and you’ll find lots of support. Hugs
I understand because I felt that way. I felt like I was going to end my life before my medication started to work. And it has worked to help my mood but I now need to incorporate more activity into my life like meeting friends, going out.
Don’t worry about the days that are a struggle just try to do your best. You will pull through. ❤️
I'm sorry you are going through this. I can relate- I am currently without medicine and am wondering if life would be easier with it. I have taken meds in the past and sometimes they really helped (with a little time to kick in)
Take care!
I could have written this myself! I am in the exact same situation. I have struggled with depression for years but mine recently got worse. I finally got help after breaking down a few weeks ago. I’ve been put on a new antidepressant. It has only been two weeks. Please keep in touch and let me know how you are doing ❤️
Hope the new medication works soon. I does take some time. Hang in there for things will get better.
Be grateful that most of you have access to medications. I am writing from Venezuela and I have a diagnosis of anxiety and depression and without disponibility of these medications in my country. I am really in desperation.
The best way all of yo can help the Venezuelan people is denouncing this damn goverment that is killing us. Thanks
