Hi Dolphin80

What's been going on?

Dolphin80 profile image
Dolphin80 in reply toDolphin14

I’ve been feeling very depressed here lately. I don’t know why. Well I’m depressed about my weight. I need to lose weight. But my mood felt flatlined. I take meds. Trying to balance them now. I just want to feel better soon.

Dolphin14 in reply toDolphin80

I'm sorry you are struggling. Are you able to do any exercise? Walking or something? For me that helps my mood and keeps the weight in check.

Dolphin80 profile image
Dolphin80 in reply toDolphin14

It’s hard because I don’t have much motivation to do so. But I do want to feel better.

Dolphin14 profile image
Dolphin14 in reply toDolphin80

I understand. Getting motivated is tough with depression.

When you feel you can handle it just try 15 minutes. Take the stairs if you are out. Don't use the elevator if you are physically ok to do that. The little things add up

I need to take my daughter on more walks. She’s 2. But it’s hard when you feel so depressed. I’m always tired.

Dolphin14 profile image
Dolphin14 in reply toDolphin80

Try and do the best you can. A gentle push but don't overwhelm yourself.

Dolphin80 profile image
Dolphin80 in reply toDolphin14

I’m trying. Thank you. I just want to know that I will be ok.

Dolphin14 profile image
Dolphin14 in reply toDolphin80

You will be ok. You are strong and you will get through this.

There are so many ups and downs with depression. Don't put too much pressure on yourself.

Is your Dr or therapist aware of how you are feeling?

Dolphin80 profile image
Dolphin80 in reply toDolphin14

Yes, my doctor knows. I don’t have a therapist right now but want to get one.

Dolphin14 profile image
Dolphin14 in reply toDolphin80

Good keep your doctor in the loop. I hope you do find a therapist. For me it has helped so much

Dolphin80 profile image
Dolphin80 in reply toDolphin14

Do you know about ECT by chance? I wonder if it works for depression.

Dolphin14 profile image
Dolphin14 in reply toDolphin80

I don't know enough about it to comment on.

Speak to your Md about what else is available other than meds.

Dolphin80 profile image
Dolphin80 in reply toDolphin14

I wonder what a permanent fix would be for depression. Hmm.

Dolphin14 profile image
Dolphin14 in reply toDolphin80

I'm doing ok on meds and therapy. I do yoga and walk and I meditate.

I do still have periods where I'm depressed but I'm able to get myself back on track.

I hope you find something that makes you feel better. I know there are new things out there. Not sure how they work or if they can help get rid of it completely. Definitely worth asking about.

Were you able to do anything for you today?

I’m working but I bought myself a nice necklace today.

Excellent on buying yourself a gift

Tell yourself you can do this. Because you can

Dolphin80 profile image
Dolphin80 in reply toDolphin14

I actually didn’t have to go. 🙂 is there a support group in HealthUnlocked? Thank you for talking to me , for your support.

Dolphin14 profile image
Dolphin14 in reply toDolphin80

Even better you didn't have to go. Eliminate some stress for you.

Support is here on the forum. I don't know of any other groups

Are there any groups I your area? Mayb you MD can assist you? Things will be done via Zoom I'm sure.

I'm always here to support you Dolphin80.

Dolphin80 in reply toDolphin14

Thank you so much!! I’m just praying to feel better soon.

Dolphin80 profile image
Dolphin80 in reply toDolphin14

I’m still feeling depressed unfortunately. My meds have been adjusted but I guess it takes time to work. Sucks to feel so depressed. I just want to feel better.

Dolphin80 profile image
Dolphin80 in reply toDolphin14

I don’t know why I’m so depressed. I’ve been suffering from depression/anxiety most of my life. I know I’m depressed about my weight. I want to lose weight but it’s hard. Then, covid is very challenging for me, not having the work social interaction is hard on me. Then I have a 2 year old. I want to feel happy for her. But it’s hard when you suffer with depression.

Dolphin80 profile image
Dolphin80 in reply toDolphin14

Thank you so much for your support. I just want to feel better. My depression is bad. But hoping and praying meds will kick in. I just am praying to get better. I’ve been depressed since mid August. But meds were just recently adjusted. I wish there was a quick fix to depression but there isn’t.

Dolphin80 profile image
Dolphin80 in reply toDolphin14

The other thing that is hard is that my doc recommends the partial hospitalization program for me but I can’t do it as I work 32 hours a week and take care of my 2 year old daughter. And the program is full time Monday through Friday. Instead of that then I’m searching for a therapist. But I’m on a wait list for that.

Dolphin80 profile image
Dolphin80 in reply toDolphin14

Please continue to support me if you don’t mind. I need support right now.

Dolphin14 profile image
Dolphin14 in reply toDolphin80

Hi Dolphin80

The meds do take time. I've had to change meds a few times to get where I am today. It's been a long process for me.

It's hard to find something that will keep us above water when we start to sink. For me it was exercise. At the height of my depression I stopped doing it as I could do nothing. Eventually I took the leap back in. I had to push myself but I did it.

I hope the search for the therapist is a priority at this point? Where your Md wants the day program, and you obviously can't do that, they need to get you into someone soon.

If you want we can pm?

Thank u so much. I just want to get better.

Dolphin80 profile image
Dolphin80 in reply toDolphin14

Yes I’m trying to get a therapist.

Dolphin80 profile image
Dolphin80 in reply toDolphin14

And I’m scared of my heart for some reason. It’s an obsession of mine. All I want is to be happy. My mood is kinda flat now but doing chores is helping a little.

Dolphin14 profile image
Dolphin14 in reply toDolphin80

Yes keeping busy does help. Doing your chores keels you busy and gives you some satisfaction because you completed something.

Keep plugging along. Don't give up.

Reach out when you need support someone is always here.

Thank you. Still depressed. Hanging in there.

Going for long walks sometimes helps.

Dolphin80 profile image
Dolphin80 in reply toDolphin14

I need a support group. I’m just so depressed. Boo. I just want to get better.

Dolphin80 profile image
Dolphin80 in reply toDolphin14

How are you?

Dolphin14 profile image
Dolphin14 in reply toDolphin80

I'm doing well thank you for asking.

I'm hoping as the days go on you will feel a bit better. How is the weather in your area? Can you take your daughter out for a little walk?

Not what you're looking for?
