Hi Max! It has been a rough couple of days for me too. Is there anything that brings you comfort when you feel like this? Like certain music, or movies, or talking with a friend?

They did. Hard living with gad ,dep. Pace of life here too much for me.

I understand. I have been having my fair share of ups and downs lately too. We can do this. This isn’t permanent, I have to remind myself of this often.

"They did. Hard living with gad ,dep. Pace of life here too much for me."

I can relate with EVERYTHING you just said there.

I struggle every day with my GAD and depression. (and I am far from recovered)

But I realize that one of my triggers is the pace of live that is changing around me.

.

I look self-help books, pray, and try to keep my mind busy, but I understand what you said and meant right there.

Take care.

Changes happening too fast for me. Lot of losses last few years. Hard trying to cope.

[Krn210 in reply to PeaceNeed]

Sometimes we have to just let go of what we can’t control. I was thinking long and hard about myself last night and many things point back to a feeling of loss of control. We can’t always control the changes that happen in life. We have to some how learn to adapt to the changes. Knowing that no matter the change the core of us is still there and ok. We can’t control the losses that happen, or how we initially respond. Trying to control those feelings or thoughts just make things worse. So learning to ride through the emotions again knowing that the core of us is still whole and we are still ok.

Max,

I'm struggling too right now. I have to have hope that with hard work [incredibly hard work] we can change who we are and heal the damage that cause and are caused by our depression.

The fight is SO hard sometimes and frustrating because it never seems to go away. It's mentally and physically exhausting to fight minute after minute, hour after hour every day.

But we have to remember it's our depression or disease itself telling us that we won't succeed. We fail to see our progress. We feel unworthy of succeeding. The disease begs us to just surrender to it and just to quit struggling.

But we've been there already. We lived it already. We know its pain. We know it is not a solution.

Your here on this website reaching out to others to help fight it.

Hope & change both can be scary especially for your subconscious. It causes stress on the world depression has built for you. This stress cause anxiety which let's be frank is scary in the extreme.

Even if your depression never truly leaves, the time you spend fighting it consciously can be decreased. Coping mechanisms and strategies to fight it really do help. Get as much help as you can.

The world seems dark right now and you want it to be in the light but there is a churning sea of gray between you and the light. There will be ups and downs and depression wants to isolated us. Find a human support mechanism whether its counseling or group. The more you can talk about it freely the less hold it will have on you.

If you need to talk, don't hesitate to reach out.
