Vent all you want. it's free.And you body tells your mind what it really needs. Or your subconscious.

I'm so sorry, Maddy.

Life is unfair sometimes and it's a struggle. The only thing which helped me was hope. And something to live for. If you have children, they can be your reason. I know it's not good to look for reasons outside. I know that the reasons have to come from inside but it's so difficult to tap into this inner driving force.

You are not alone... we are here trying to get out of our circumstances and depression and fighting with you.........

I wish so much we could give each other encouragement and support right now to keep going.

I'm trying but I'm struggling at times but I am dedicated to getting out of this temporary bad state and change my circumstances so that I can feel fullfilled and happy ever again.

It's hard to see it now when feeling low but it doesn't mean it will always feel like this...overcoming this difficult time is the most important to get the momentum and keep going............

Depression is so misunderstood by some people. When I fall into a depression, there is not much anyone can do for me. It just has to run it's coarse. It is nice to hear other people have worked through their depression though. It helps to hear that it will not last forever. It does not last forever. It will come and go. My therapist has given me an assignment to watch funny movies and TV shows. The first tens shows I felt like a robot. I did not laugh even once. I wondered what was wrong with me. Then slowly I started laughing at the shows. I am now able to laugh a lot at the shows and my depression has gone away for now. Music helps me as well.

Good luck to you. Keep doing your best to get out of your depression. It is not fun but if there is a willingness to get better than you will get better.

Glad you're venting. I've been in that black pit

Know how it feels & know nothing I can say will probably make you feel better.

I just had to ride it out & keep telling myself "This too shall pass".

It's true that it does get better.

Hang in there.

Depression is a hell like no other. I'm on the other side of it yet again. I've suffered with depression on and off since I was fifteen. The thing that's different now, to back then, is I do know it's treatable so I get onto it sooner now and I also know it does eventually lift so I hang onto that during the tough times.

Vent away, it's always good to share how we feel, and share how it really is instead of smiling and saying fine while we're dying on the inside.

People used to tell me think of your children and I'd be thinking I am I think they'd be better off if I died. That's not true of course but it didn't stop me thinking it. I shared my struggles with many people and especially those treading roads I once trod in the hope in some way it helped.

The depression will lift, I know you may want this to happen right now in this minute-I did too. I'm unsure of how you feel about medication to help the symptoms of depression? I would not have survived with out them.

Sorry to hear that your depression has the best of you, Maddy97, it can feel overwhelming and bewildering. It is a healthy step to "vent" as it gets the feelings out of our body where sometimes when we don't vent or mourn (give voice to our grief) our depression lodges in our bodies as headaches, muscles aches, trembling hands etc.
