I'm new to this and have posted, received replys.
Right now, I am hurting because of a lot of losses, failures in life, etc. I am suffering the dregs of depression. PLEASE don't suggest meds. Every depression med that I have ever taken has rapidly (within days) switched me to mania so bad that I ended up in the hospital.
I am not handling this depression as well as I would like even given that I have lived with depression since a young child.
Need some affirmation and some hugs perhaps.
Any hugs, etc. would be of help.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
-if you can exercise, to take mind of it, do so.
Life can be so touch sometimes but remember the feeling ant last forever and one day you will wake up feeling brighter.
How about you write a list of all the thins you have ahieved throughout your life, even if in your eyes they seem small and worthless-they are just as important as the bigger things you have accomplished.
It normally cheers me up.
Try not to be so hard on yourself and pamper yourself-you deserve it!

I like what Lou2 said, be kind and forgiving to yourself. I'm usually in a pretty shitty depressed state myself.

i hope that you can find the right cocktail to help you. its sounds like you need to be on meds. you just have to work with your pdoc. you can work on getting something in your system to help with your depression.
Thanks again,
