Tired of depression

Tired of being depressed

Seems like nothing works

Tired of the fight

I have some good days but not many

[Hidden]

Currently feeling this way too. Sending hugs and hope

[Gardeningd in reply to Hidden]

Thank u

Hugs to u also

I don’t think cold weather and the craziness in the world helps

[Hidden in reply to Gardeningd]

I agree it doesn’t. How long have you been feeling this way?

[Gardeningd in reply to Hidden]

I can have a perfectly good day and wake up and be miserable. I had a break down and went to the hospital 3 mo ago. I told them I wanted a diagnosis. So I started with mental health again and they dx me with PTSD

[Hidden in reply to Gardeningd]

I’m sorry to hear you are having a difficult time. I hope you start to feel better and can start working with a therapist to help with your ptsd

[Gardeningd in reply to Hidden]

I appreciate your words of encouragement

[Hidden in reply to Gardeningd]

Try to distract yourself if possible.

[Gardeningd in reply to Hidden]

I can usually do that but woke up feeling sickI think I have gallbladder issues but have to wait till my annual on the 21st to find out

I can usually go outside and work in my garden but it’s freezing. Just a really bad day

Can’t stop crying. I love my boyfriend but he’s not very sensitive and that doesn’t help

[Hidden in reply to Gardeningd]

I hope all goes well for you on the 21st. Again if you need to talk I’m here

[Gardeningd in reply to Hidden]

Have a good evening

I understand, I feel the same way lately. I had a really good day a few days ago then yesterday could not stop crying. Hoped I'd wake up feeling better today but did not. Getting frustrated over it. I do notice a few things about my good days though so I'll share with you and maybe they'll work for you too: I feel better when I have started my day earlier, before 9 am. When I have accomplished things even if it's just cleaning or a walk. When I have worked out or eaten healthy for the day. When I've talked with family/friends. When I've put on some uplifting music.

Hope some of those things can give you a good day too 😊

[Gardeningd in reply to BlueMoon29]

I just told my bf that. Just woke up feeling bad So therefore the day went downhill, , but thx

I wish u the best for your journey too

Depression is a horrible disease

[BlueMoon29 in reply to Gardeningd]

It really is. Good luck with everything and we're all here if you need to talk.

[Gardeningd in reply to BlueMoon29]

I have had anxiety and depression since Oct 15. The mental pain and physical sensations have me almost frozen in time.

Hi. Today was rough (you know why as you commented on my post earlier🙂) for me, but somehow there is still a little light of hope inside.

Is there something that brings you joy, besides gardening, since, like you said, it is too cold for that now?

I listened to a song I really like tonight, and danced around a bit while I did laundry.

Do you have a favorite show or video? I discovered "Miranda" on Hulu and it's given me lots of laughs and smiles.

It also makes me feel better when I feel grateful, and I'm so greatful for this site.🙂🌈

I hope you feel better, and that your doctor visit goes ok.

I know what you mean, some days start off bad and very often carry on all day crying. By then of course feel much worse because eyes sore, headache. I find distraction is the only thing that works for me. That is now becoming very difficult with lockdown. Gardening is often too cold, can't see granddaughter who I adore that kills me. So I'm left with DIY that I'm attacking as much as possible. Some days you are just rock bottom. I would say try anything, anything that could be a distraction. Painting, drawing. Stone painting, felting something you have to concentrate on. It's the best thing better than medication. Good luck ❤️

Hi.. Looks like you are consumed by negativity, Please don't. I know depression and anxiety is the worst think one can experience because i too suffered for 4 years, even now i feel sometimes. But trust me if you bring in some decipline to your daily activities you can win over.. Breating excercise is one thing i would strongly recomend (with medication) but it's a very slow healing process. Trust me it would do magic you make it a habit for the rest of your life. Please dont loose hopes!!🙂 Try to spend more time with your loved ones.

Hello! This is my first time posting. I’ve been battling depression and c-ptsd for many yrs now. Treating with meds, therapy, lots of self care (when I have the energy) and a good support system. The holidays are big triggers for me and this year proved true again. I am getting very tired of battling depression and anxiety. My fiancé is amazing and compassionate but has never had to deal with mental health issues before so he doesn’t really get it even though he tries. And trust me, I’m so thankful the tries!

So I’ve been sleeping a lot more than usual, no energy, unable to focus and concentrate and pretty much isolating myself from the world. Back to therapy 1x/week and looking forward to better days.

Hi Rosem0303, I hear your frustration and was wondering if you and your therapist have tried EMDR for the cptsd you are suffering with? It was the Only thing that helped me.

Also many, many of us have lots of trouble during the holidays so your not alone. Lean on us (the group) as someone might suggest something to you that also works for you.

I’m glad you’re here in this group. Remember the holidays and there after (winter) a lot of us cycle with our depression too. I’m in the same boat. I sleep a lot and don’t seem interested in anything for the time being, I know that and I’m ok with it too.

Blessing to you for better days and give yourself a break, this to shall pass.

[Rosem0303 in reply to krazy-girl]

Thank you for the reply. Yes, we’ve done EMDR and it helped a lot! We will start back doing it again since symptoms have been returning. I think the other piece to my recovery is a support system from those who wear similar shoes. I’m sure this group will help fill that void.

[krazy-girl in reply to Rosem0303]

Yes they will and lean on the group, after all we’ve all been there❣️

[Gardeningd in reply to Rosem0303]

You sound like me and I wish u well
