There is no light.... can’t see it or feel it

heatherwilson9285 profile image

I feel so lost. Every step I take is two steps backwards. Living and doing daily tasks is just getting harder to the point I don’t know if I can. My husband had been a huge help in the past but now I can see his frustrations. It’s hard being a mom. I have been to therapy tried almost every anti depressant out there. I can’t stop worrying and being sad. I really feel like I have tried everything from exercise to therapy to my diet. Nothing works anymore. I needed to vent to hopefully some people who understand.

I totally understand Heather. It took me over 40 years to get my meds right. I was diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression. My prescriber added Wellbutrin to my Cymbalta and it has worked to reduce my depression. Wellbutrin works differently in the brain than other meds like Cymbalta. You might try it if you haven't already. Hope this is helpful friend.

I’m not married so I can’t speak on that, but I understand the inability to accomplish tasks that shouldn’t even require thinking, and the guilt that comes with it. It sucks feeling like you’re not only hurting yourself but your family too. I’m glad you vented. Sending you good vibes😊😊

Yeah. I know how tough it can be. Keep believing in yourself. Hang in there. Don’t sell yourself short. Each day offers a new opportunity at a fresh start

Sending you a big hug Heather, trying is the best daily accomplishment and you are doing great! Have you set a date night with your husband, perhaps making a night to where just you and him can connect?

I understand. I have been in therapy for years and have also been prescribed many different medications but I'm still depressed. All I know to do now is force myself to do things. Then I feel better when I do.
