hopelessness

[ElephantsHear]

I feel sad. I’ve lost my confidence- motivation to get a job (I’m depressed). I wake up wanting to go back to sleep. I took a walk- still felt sad, called my son- he’s sweet- but working. I want to be rescued/ I want the cure to get back to being functional. I read fish oil can take help depression- at least have a placebo effect. Thanks for listening.

I don’t know much about fish oil.

hopelessness and sadness, loss of confidence and motivation, depression, I do know. it constantly wears you down just being there. I do know the want to be rescued. for the most part we have to be the hero and rescue ourselves. having support is huge. I’m very lucky to have someone I can reach out to. I’m working on having more understanding and caring people physically closer to support me.

on my own, proactive things seem to help the most, while being the hardest, like walking, it doesn’t work immediately but does contribute positively later. the same for calling a loved one or friend. engaging the mind with new memories. I’m very depressed right now as well. I really am the wrong person to give any sort of advice on this. so I guess i hope it makes you happier that I’m sad too. haha.

Thank you so much for your kind reply. I’m sorry I didn’t message right away- I hid away from the world. I’m sorry you’re depressed- that doesn’t make me happy- lol, but your caring response in my time of need sure did! I’m here for you also. Hugs. Thank you for the support.

I had to go through therapy and medication to get out of my depression 20 years ago. So I don't know about fish oil. It probably wouldn't have worked for me.
