Need support.
I am feeling the same way. It cant always be like this. It has to get better soon. I hope your day gets better. Sending you hugs!
Hi Dolphin80
What's been going on?
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.
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.
It’s hard because I don’t have much motivation to do so. But I do want to feel better.
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.
Try and do the best you can. A gentle push but don't overwhelm yourself.
I’m trying. Thank you. I just want to know that I will be ok.
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?
Do you know about ECT by chance? I wonder if it works for depression.
I don't know enough about it to comment on.
Speak to your Md about what else is available other than meds.
I wonder what a permanent fix would be for depression. Hmm.
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.
It's not impossible that you may feel better. I hope so.
How are you today Dolphin80
Hi Dolphin14, I’m so so. Depression still there.
Were you able to do anything for you today?
I’m working but I bought myself a nice necklace today.
I’m about to do a presentation. Nervous.
Ok.... deep breaths I'm sure you've done this before and done ok?
Tell yourself you can do this. Because you can
Ok thank you. I will be back.
Ok good luck. Let me know how you do
I actually didn’t have to go. 🙂 is there a support group in HealthUnlocked? Thank you for talking to me , for your support.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Please continue to support me if you don’t mind. I need support right now.
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?
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.
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.
