Hi, Ii have joined this group in hopes of connecting with people who understand depression and anxiety, mostly depression. I am stuck in a major depressive episode. The last 2 times I have gone through this medication made a big difference. I do my best to exercise each day, try and eat, see a psychologist and my Dr has been trying new meds on me for the last couple of months. Every day feels like a week and I am really struggling to believe this will get better. My sleep is now starting to go as well. I have many hopeless thoughts every day.

Hello and Welcome. I can definitely relate with depression and anxiety. Connecting here with people has helped me so much. How long has it been since your last episode? How long did that one last? Did you recover fully and were fine up until this time?

Thanks for replying. I am really hoping it will help to be on here and share. I had an episode in 2012 (November until 2013 February), then another in September of 2015 which only lasted 5 weeks. I have been fine (although I always have some anxiety) as far as depression until January of this year. This one is taking so much longer. How do you cope? Any hints or tips you might have would be appreciated. How long have your episodes lasted? I feel like I can make it another week at the most then I will likely check into a hospital. Don't know what else to do.

I hope you are feeling better today. I always start out my day, saying this is going to be a great day, and I am stronger than I think. Depression can really get you down, but please know there are people out there going through the same thing. Talking with each other helps tremendously. Love to you Hidden!🥰😍
