Hi Oliveprincess, sorry to hear that you're having a hard time. How long have you been struggling with depression for and how long have you been on medication? There's no quick fix for depression I'm afraid, it takes time. I think that medication is only part of the answer and that it has to be combined with talking therapy (e.g. CBT), lifestyle changes and self-help strategies. I'm new on here but it seems like a very supportive community so that's an important part of our self help toolkit I think.
Hi tofler, thanks for the reply.I had depression on/off for 13 yrs but has been worse for past 6 months have been on medication for 6 months.I took an overdose 6 months ago thats when i was diognosed with depression.I have 3 children 14,9 & 6 yrs old.I feel like i could be doing so much with them but i cant.Some days are good but then dark days happen. I have talked to my friends but feel like they don't understand.
