Will the battle ever end???

[finefrenzy127]

When will it get easier? I am so tired of fighting this battle of depression that I feel like just giving up! I wish I could just experience happiness but that seems so far out of reach!!!

Thanks, my loved ones are sick of me too! I can't tell them I am struggling because they are sick of hearing it! To know your family is sick of you makes it even worse!!!

You are still fighting, that's the important thing.

Hi. I feel like I'm going through something similar. Sometimes I feel better, but I don't know how long I'll be happy for. This said, I recently started taking an online course about positive psychology.

I've enjoyed it a decent amount this far. Who knows you might enjoy it too! Here's the link:

Positive Psychology is the scientific study of the strengths that enable individuals and communities to thrive. The field is founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within themselves, and to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play. - ppc.sas.upenn.edu/

Keep fighting! Keep moving forward! One step at a time. Have you thought about seeing someone for how you are feeling a therapist, counselor, or online counseling? Please don't give up the fight! Praying peace over you!

I’ve had to learn to forgive myself and learn self care. Work in progress. Depression is a part of your life. Often it is a message. Even it is a disorder that isn’t changed. Brenè Brown teaches a lot of strategies. I don’t think “fighting it” is very useful. I visualize slapping a person in pain.
