Still feel so low.mornings seem to be the worst.i wake up with that feeling,oh god,have to face another day.i seem to feel slightly better as day goes on,but the low mood never goes.its really hard trying to get some understanding from people,depression is so not understood.we still look the same.but the thoughts and anxiety i feel are real.its so gloomy my life and i dont know how long until i even start to feel better.i dont want to spend the rest of my life feeling like this

Good morning Tracey, so sorry to hear, life can be very hard at times. I have had difficulty over the years where I just wanted the ground to swallow me up. Thankfully I got help. Can you talk with anyone? Have you tried talking therapy or considered medication. I felt a great source of comfort, going to groups with like minded people for support, like Mind. Hope you get the right support, in my thoughts x

I feel for you, it can take time for new medication to fully take effect, hold in there. Hope you can some talking therapy soon, sounds like your doing all the right things. Routing for you, take care x

We feel low when there's something wrong with our body. To be honest, and from decades of experience, doctors don't really care. It's up to you to get blood tests to interpret, for example low vitamin B12 can cause depression. I know that sounds harsh but doctors are too busy and too influenced by pharmaceutical companies to make a difference to each of us. These days we have to do our own research to improve our health. Good luck
