Hi I am new here. And I've heard good things about this group. I am currently trying to heal from my depression. I was off my meds last year and doing well. Recently I fell down and not myself. It feels like a shift and I felt like a set back in my life. I don't know if it's a shift or I feel disappointed in myself, I am seeing more things I needed to see and felt more things I needed to feel. But during this time I felt as I lost my purpose. I feel like I am drowning and I'm telling from the inside of my body but no one can see it. Has anyone felt like this

I have felt that way and it is overwhelming. I'm glad you reached out. You may need to go back on your medication because a lot of this is due to a brain chemistry issue, not a weakness. It's like a diabetic needs to make sure his/her levels are balanced, we need to keep as balanced as possible too. A good therapist should hear you, but you have to try to say the feeling first. Some wounds take longer than others to heal. Maybe you need time to come back to where you want to be. No matter what though, please keep reaching out.

Thank you. I have thought about the medication but maybe a lower dose the higher dose makes me feel weird. I just have to be patient hope the wound heals. I should seek for a therapist a good one vs the ones I've had. Thank you for you comment it's nice to have people you can talk to and not think less

Welcome to the community. There is great support here and many wonderful people.

We do have set backs at times. It's not a failure it's just the way things go sometimes.

I've experienced that drowning feeling. It's hard to have inner turmoil versus something others can see.

We are the only ones that can pull ourselves up. You have taken a step for support. That's a wonderful thing.

Thank you for joining and I hope through talking it will help you continue to heal.
