Hopeless day

Everything feels utterly hopeless today. I got up, got dressed, put on my make up then fell apart. I feel like a burden to my husband and that his life would be so much better without me. I feel like no one else cares. As im changing medication next week sees me having no antidepressants and im dreading it. i just hope this darkness ends soon.

Hey there, I'm so sorry that your day has been a bit rubbish. Days have a funny way of starting well and ending badly. Is it a one off or have you had lots of days like this recently?

I'm sure there are lots of people who care about you, and I'm sure your husband is one of them. Have you shared with him how you're feeling today? X

sorry you've had a rough day.

unfortunately depression often leaves us feeling the way you have today, even if it isn't true or logical. it's dreadful to feel that way.

Is this why your medication is being changed?

once the new med's kick in you will probably feel, and cope, a lot better.

keep in touch, here we care,

the rubbish days have been happening more and more regularly. my husband was really supportive yesterday and told me i was not a burden and he wouldn'tknow what to do without me. Medication is being changed because of terrible side effects - ringing in my ears, limbs shaking etc. Am hoping today might be a bit better

Yes, it is awful when your day gets off to a bad start. I think mornings are generally the worst time of day for depressed people. I wonder why that is? I have my anti-depressant each morning so I wonder if it's because the effect has worn off by the morning.

My morning too didn't get off to a good start. I had a blazing row with my 18 year old. Not a good way to start the day.

I'm sure that your husband does care. As we know men are sometimes just useless at expressing their emotions. Have you told him how you feel?

How do you know how your husband feels??? are you a mind reader?? Im sure he doesnt feel your a waste of space, hes there because he loves you, otherwise he wouldnt be there at all.

The depression makes you feel that way, that isnt you.. When the right meds get on board, you will feel your life comes back, each day will be better,,, you will get there,, its just being patient, till it does. And it will !!
