Tired

I have no energy anymore and I’m tired of everything including taking these pills. I just want to sleep and be left alone. Nobody cares about how I really feel anyway. Sigh

[Hidden]

I care! Because I feel the same sometimes.

Today was better for me. I walked a ton yesterday and....I think....it helped. It works for my dog.....

Sorry your energy is down.....

Kombucha helps with my energy sometimes too!

Thanks for caring

There’s a lot of people that cares; never think that nobody cares. We love you. Xoxoxo

[Hidden in reply to Jfb007]

Thanks. That means a lot to me ❣️

I care!!!!

What's going on? Do you want to talk about it? You can message me if you'd be more comfortable. Just click on my username. This will bring you to my profile. From there, click on message.🙂

Take some deep breaths. It will be okay.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

The deep breathing exercises don’t work. Everything is happening and it’s stressful. I’m starting to be tired all the time. Which is just the start.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I'm so sorry, sweetheart! I'm tired of being tired too (literally because I have 2 severe sleep disorders on top of depression). It sucks big time! Just remember that people do care. Do you feel that your loved ones don't care? They do. Sometimes they are just frustrated that they can't help, which can make us think that they don't care.

I’m sorry about your circumstances. I hope things get better for you.

Sometimes I think they do want to care or maybe they do to some degree but I can’t tell from their actions

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Thanks!😊 I hope so too because this is getting really old really fast.

A lot of the time I think it is hard to tell from others' actions. It's kinda like playing charades.

If you are feeling this way, then the pills aren’t working. Make sure you discuss with your psychiatrist. I went through 3 antidepressants before We found the right one. You may need additional meds to get stabilized. I started out on 5 different medications & slowly I have worked my way down to just one & have so far remained stable. Don’t rely on just meds either. Get yourself into therapy. DBT worked for me. Don’t accept feeling this way. Keep going for help until something works

[Hidden in reply to Horselover54]

I’ll definitely let the doctor know. Thank you

Me too...that is our depression at work.

[Iammesues]

I don’t have anyone that cares how I feel either. I have lots of people around me but no one who really listens. I’m having to accept that I can only rely on me, but me is not strong enough to bare this responsibility so there lies the daily challenge. That’s a lot of pressure on oneself... to be everything you need for yourself, right?

[Hidden in reply to Iammesues]

Right. That’s true. And that’s probably another reason why I’m getting more stressed and feel like I’m breaking down because nobody really cares enough to listen to how you feel and think. To them everybody goes through it and ....

I feel the same. I have OCD and struggle with relationships. I have no spouse, no kids and not really any close friends. I've been staying with my elderly parents during this pandemic. I am happy to be taking care of them, but it's a lot of work. I go back to my own house to get mail and mow the grass then go back to them. Nobody asks how I'm doing through this. My sisters have their husbands and adult children to talk to and I have nobody. My family is great and I know they care, but I do feel like nobody understands my side. We just keep plugging along I suppose. I hope you feel better soon.

[Iammesues in reply to dutchgirl71]

Finding people who are truly empathetic is near impossible. I have a mean spouse and a wonderful kid. True empathy I’ve never found. And that’s where depression and anxiety stems for me. Accepting that as an adult we only have ourselves. Some people accept this well and thrive. Others struggle with the personal responsibility. You looking for comfort and reassurance from family members is a good example. I would do the same. Others... could care less

[dutchgirl71 in reply to Iammesues]

If I may ask, why do you stay with a mean spouse? I believe in marriage and think it's worth fighting for, but my husband left when living with my OCD became too much. So I wonder why other people hang in there when it was so easy for my husband to leave? My husband and I married for all the wrong reasons, so the lack of love and respect were obviously major factors as well. But I have yet to find someone to stick by me. Guess I haven't found true love yet. But I'm used to being alone if I never do find it

[Iammesues in reply to dutchgirl71]

I stay for my 12 year old daughter. For her stability only

[Iammesues in reply to Hidden]

If everyone goes thru this, then lots of people are good at faking being less delicate than I am

[Horselover54]

No one without depression will ever understand. Hell, WE don’t understand why we feel this way. DBT therapy helps a lot, especially if you can get into a group. Surround yourself with others with the same struggle & are on their recovery journey (such as myself). They will understand, support, & give hope. Remember, a feeling is just a feeling!

[Hidden]

I completely agree. I tried DBT before but it wasn’t really helpful whether it was in a group or individually. But I do agree on surrounding myself with similar people although I’m told to do otherwise

[Iammesues in reply to Hidden]

It’s comforting somehow to have contact with others suffering similarly. We really do support each other’s and wish each other the best
