Welcome to this site. I don't know if you already did but if not, you should also join the Anxiety and Depression Support Group on this site. There is much more activity there. People are posting all day every day. It is very inspiring to hear from people who have recovered and to know that you are not alone in your struggles. I hope you are able to find the support you are looking for.

I can't seem to find this site

In the Search HealthUnlocked bar at the top right of this page enter anxiety and deression group. It comes up under Posts. Click on Communities beside Posts. The Anxiety and Depression Group comes up. Click +Join. I hope that makes sense. There may be another way to get there, but this is what I just found. Please let me know if you find it.

I know the feeling! It is so hard some days. It feels like too much to handle. I have been feeling this way frequently these days. You have a part somewhere in you that is not broken, not affected by the depression. Try to tune into that. If you can try to be totally in the moment, and just focus solely on your breath and let go of your thoughts. They are only thoughts. Feet on the ground. You can do this.

I understand where you're coming from, and I know it can be too much to handle at times. I can say I most certainly empathize with you when you say you don't want to feel that way anymore. I've been learning, only recently, the importance and how to correctly process and sit with my emotions. How to let myself feel them and manage them, and I won't lie, it's no easy thing to do by any means. Still, I'm proud of myself for finally doing it, as it's helped a lot. I also have MDD, so I can relate to the almost impossible struggle it is everyday to overcome. I won't sit here and try giving advice or giving vague "uplifting" comments, bc I've never met anyone that helps. I can offer an ear though, if you ever get overwhelmed and just need anyone at all to talk to, even if I'm a stranger. Sometimes having a stranger is easier than someone you know. You're not alone. Don't fight alone.

All I do is cry and I have headaches.Being depressed is really taking a hold me. I don't go anywhere. I don't do anything. I don't have the energy.

Over time, even minor depression takes it's toll on anyone. I'm sorry that you are going through this. I'm proud of you for reaching out anyway. That's got to be one of the hardest things to do, having to go through what you're going through. It's pretty incredible. Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you need to talk. Even if it's just random chit chat, that's perfectly fine.

You can get better. There is hope. Im sure you have already tried so many things but there's always more to try. I know how hard it is to keep searching out new treatments when you feel so bad but they're out there.
