So depressed

I’m so depressed, my life is a mess. I live in a group home and I hate it here. My housemates are much lower functioning and I don’t have much social interaction since I’m not able to get out much. Antidepressants have given me so many side effects that my doctor decided to take me off them. She said she feels my depression is more situational than chemical at this point anyway. I just don’t know what to do anymore.

Is there any chance you could move from where you are living now?

Im moving from where i am cos the neighbours have been driving me crazy for years. Ive been wanting to go for about 3 yeara but we are finally making rhe moves to do it and finally go somewhere that will hopefully be better.

I know how you feel , I live in a block of low rise retirement flats, there's a select group of people whom do nothing but gossip and backstab others I've been targeted so I have backed off ,I isolate and I have been so very down about the situation, the area isn't that good either! So .. I made the decision to move out next year, that's when I shall be financially able to , please do not suffer ,if your unhappy then get out if you can ,life is too short 😊

That stinks. Good for you. As of now I haven’t found anywhere suitable to go but I guess I’ll keep looking. It’s just tiring.

Thank you for your kind words of support, trust me the air can be toxic in here, It's very tiring I agree, drains you on a daily basis etc .. I haven't found anything suitable ,I know it's a waiting game now but at least my action plan will kick in come end of December, I'm keeping everything crossed my name gets moved on up the wait list ,

I do hope you find some peace soon

Thank you!

You are so right. I lived in a neighborhood where everyone was feuding and taking sides. I was shaking in my boots, couldn't sleep, etc. Maybe you could stay in a motel for a week, just to get a break from this. Or just do or find something that makes you happy for awhile. This is just too much for anyone to handle.

Hi joemama55, I cannot stand arguments and clicky groups , no need for it.. well I moved 4 weeks ago, I now have a ground floor flat that's closer to my sister and my sons , its a retirement building but there's no way I'm getting involved in anyone else's buisness, I don't mind being polite and saying hi etc . But that's all , it's not as if I'm being ignorant I just dislike gossips.

Not what you're looking for?
