Support Groups
Close Depression
: Seasonal Affective DisorderAll the women in my family have struggled with depression.It is something I personally am petrified of. I dont know what kind I have,I struggle with meds and have tried various over the years.Currently not taking anything for depression but for pain I am on Fentanyl patches.Am trying alternative ways to deal with my depression issues. A bit of councelling too,but just feel I tell the same old story.Bloody gloomy one mostly,when comparatively I am luckier than most and I am alive.
Treatments
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- Was brilliant for a year,based on pain and applied to the rest of my life ie.Thoughts and sneaky little depression.Until I had a great onset of pain and resorted back to old thought mood and aid behaviours,now struggling to find the CBT tools .
- Meditation Working / Worked
- Tricky being still with pain,but yoga Nidra a tape I follow(not actually recommended for depression however).It does seem to calm me,stop the worries and rest me some.
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- yes,I have beliefs that this is all a bad habit,also a valid illness but do find when I try harder to change my negs into positives it does have a helpful effect.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- I go ,i tell my life story,i cry ALOT.Then I pretend somewhat it has helped because I spent money on it ,then wake up feeling just as bloody awful. Relationship counceling has been very hellpful
- Support from Friends & Family Not Working
- No I feel like a bad person, telling people how I feel,unless Im paying them to listen to me winge. Although last weekend my partner got a shock when I shared my thoughts,and now i fear I will lose that.
