Hang in there. Have you seen your GP? Are you having counselling and doing CBT.

I recommend you do this if you arent already. I have done it and it does help. The depression doesnt go away but we can learn how to control it.

Im afraid it is all about self help. So you need to leave your room and get out. Sorry if that sounds hard but thats the only way to help. Dont worry about cleaning up yet or doing anything else. Just get out and do something nice. Like go out for breakfast!

Keep in touch.

Thank you Golfer 15! My daughter makes sure I do things. We go to lunch, and go on walks.

Hi DNR55,

That is such an unfortunate name. I am afraid because it means in medical terms 'do not resuscitate' is that how you feel?? I hope not but if you are truly feeling so low is there anyone you can talk to? I agree with 'Golfer' that there is ''help'' out there but it does mean going to the GP and being referred and waiting for an appointment but then that means going out of your home/room. I don't know how to really help you except to say that you have written in and hopefully that means you do want help. I so wish you would ask for it...if you can't can you ask a friend to help you do this. It is so important to not less this get any worse....I know only too well as I became a complete 'clutterbuck' until I had help. Take care . SABG x

Thank you for you're reply. Yes those are my initials and I have worked many years for Dr's and hospital. I don't generally use all 3 initials! :-) because of thete meaning "DO NOT RESUSCITATE" So then my 2 initials would then be " DR" LOL! :-) I am getting used to signing my initials "Dr" has a good ring to it. I am doing better. My Dr put me on a new antidepressant and I dont know if it's all in my head or real. Because the power of our minds and thinking is so very powerful! I have heard of ppl being so positive that your mind can heal yourself! But I haven't been able to do it. All I know is that if u wake up feeling good we stop and think (Hey what's going on? Where are my best friends Mr Anxiety and Mrs Depression! Zip Zip Zoom there they both are and so we are back to square #1! :-)

Hi babe,

Well first thing, make an urgent appointment to be seen today! Tell the gp how your feeling. Meds take them. Sleep if you need to sleep, your ill. So treat yourself as though your ill. Be nice to yourself, its the depression that is making you feel that way.

Usually you dont feel like that, So your ill.

If the mess bothers you, get someone to help you by cleaning it up. Or just leave it, you can do it another day. When your feeling better it will still be there for you.

Eat well, otherwise it will make you feel worse.

Talk how you feel with a counsellor because they help you to deal with how your feeling with depression. It may take a little time to start feeling better, but it maynot. but keep constant monthly appointments with your gp, they are not mind readers. They are paid to help and if they didnt care they wouldnt be in that job.

Were all here for the same thing, to help others, giving back. So if you need us, were here for you.

Take care Linda

Its very hard, but I will go outside and look at how beautiful the world is and breathe in gulps of air! So happy good weather has arrived! I love being outside and keep busy with growing beautiful flowers that really brightens my day! Last year I had planters of coloful flowers everywhere. They look beautiful! Following day I went out and sat and got to looking around all of my flowers I had planted were gone! I could tell something ate them! As I was looking to and fro as to what happened across the stream my thoughts were answered to who ate my flowers!! Neighbors big geese ate them, one was across the stream on the lawn watching me and honked a few times, I think that bugger was laughing at me!! My neighbor came over an apologized and bought me a gift card for more flowers. So that helped
