DOWN IN THE PITS.

We are advised a side effect of stroke is depression,BUT I never envisioned i would feel this low.Bereavement and 2 strokes have had a real effect on my self esteem.

Losing a loved one is hard enough,then followed by 2 brain attacks has really done it.

I'm in no way religious,but if it is true ,your loved ones are waiting for you,I can't wait to see her again.I miss her soo much.

I can relate to how you feel and I ask 'How can you not suffer from depression after such major and sad things happen in your life?' I relate to all you say and can only share that I have accepted my feelings of depression as part of the condition. I accept I have the right to feel low and lost at times. But I do not accept that my life is over and I must try to overcome these feelings when they appear from time to time. I have my lovely family and I am grateful for all of them everyday that I can communicate with them. I still feel like I have another chance to be part of their lives maybe not as I would have chosen but to love and be loved.

Be mindful to yourself and try to distract and move away from your negative feelings and know that you will get stronger if you can be determined. I wish you lots of positive feelings for the future!

I have bad depression since I had a TIA and told I had AF in Feb, I can't get out of it.

So sorry to hear of your AF.

With all the abbreviations on here i had to look it up.

is it the once you have had a stroke?

two times or more is a real bummer.(excuse the latin)..

[kiki1952 in reply to 2stroke]

Just the once, but it has messed my head up with this depression. Yes I am on drugs for the AF, and now on them for depression also.
