I am having a hard time taking it one day at a time right now. I am really depressed and things feel really hopeless right now. I can usually put on a "happy" face at work and make it through the day. I am getting to the point where it is too tiring to do so. I don't like feeling this way and self care is very hard for me to do. I just end up thinking about what everyone else needs. I haven't been able to become comfortable doing things for myself. I always end up feeling awful for it. I also think my body has gotten use to the meds I have been taking for 2 years. I have made an appointment with my psychiatrist but the earliest they can get me in is around the same time next month. I may have to consult my doctor as well as my therapist. At this point I feel like nothing is working and I want to get out of this mindset.

Hello
I feel how you feel. Been depressed since I had PAWS (Post Acute Withdrawals) from antidepressant. I often feel hopeless thinking about my life from now on. You’re not alone. I’m trying to tell myself “one day at a time”.....
I agree with you.... it’s a good idea for you to reevaluate your med you’ve been on if it’s still working for you effectively since you’ve been on it for 2 years. I also think it’s a good idea for you to talk about your primary care and your therapist. I truly hope you’ll be better by getting help.
Hi ScarlettOwl! Remember to put YOURSELF first, that’s most important.

I just had a therapy session today which was much needed. My therapist told me to let everything go for 48hrs. To focus on me and to not think about fixing everything at once. I have been so high strung that when she said it was ok to let go it felt like this huge weight came off my chest. I do have to focus on myself and give myself the time and attention that I would give someone else. It's going to be a long journey but I am a fighter and a survivor even when things seem so bleak.
Thanks for sharing! You’re gonna make it through this ✨
I’m always hear if you need someone to talk to!
