Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I am still feeling a little depressed at times. i have been taking my meds for about a month now and i have seen a changed in some things like with my school work and how well i am doing with my school work now which is a good thing.
but i am still feeling like i have a lot on my plate with housework, kids, school work, trying to study for tests and so much more. i dont get time for myself and i know that its taking a toll on myself. i am going tomorrow for new glasses and going to try contacts for the first time which is something that i have been taking about doing for years now.
my oldest son had to have surgery right before christmas and i have to make his follow up appt with the surgerons and then next week both my boys have to go to their eye doctor for their year exam and my youngest son which is 2 1/2 may have to have eye surgery since he has a bad lazy eye and we have been doing the drops like the doctor said to do and its not getting better. if anything else its getting worse and i am not likeing that right now. so i just have to wait a week and see what their eye doctor has to say about that.
my 8 yr old son had to go and have an MRI almost two weeks ago of his hea bc fof the headaches that he is getting everyday and from where he felel in the tub one day but i am still not sure why he is getting the headaches unless its just one of those things that is going to happen no matter what we do about it. they said that the MRI came back fine which was great but still any closer to finding out what he is getting so many headaches. i just hope that he dont have to deal with this the rest of his life like some of my family members have to.
i am trying to get everything done as fast as i can but i feel like its not ever going to be enough for anyone. i can busy my butt and clean the house and all my mom says is you didint do that or this. i dont have the time to study like she does bc she can lock herself in her room as soon as we come home from school and study and work on her homework but i cant. i have to clean house, have two kids, dinner and laundry and everything else. i just fell like she dont know what its like for me right now with everything that is going on with me and how i am feeling. plus i cant talk to her bc she dont want to hear it so i dont have anyone to talk to about anything. i feel alone right now and still want to cry even with my meds with are helping some but i feel like i am still not all there at times.

You are not giving yourself enough credit at all. You have more then a full plate, it is also flowing over the sides. Ask her if she wants to trade with you one day and see how much homework she is able to accomplish. I just don't understand why people can be so selfish and have no compassion. I think your medication is helping you, I really do, I just think you need to find a way to take some of that work off of your plate or maybe rearrange how it's being done. You are going to be okay!!

Thanks. I have asked her if she wants to take it over some times and she says that she did her time with little kids and all. she dont really help any and she didnt really when we first moved in together when she wasnt hurt. she got hurt at work in August and she hasnt been able to do anything. when i mean she dont do any thing she dont do any thing. i carry her bag and my bags into school everyday and to the car and back in the house 5 days a week. i feed her dog, i clean the house and i take the trash out and even bring her, her food at dinner after i get done cooking dinner and cleaning the kitchen at the same time. i just fell like its not ever going to be enough no matter what i do and how much i do. i have told my hubby that i am ready to just say F it and move out if i knew that we could affford it and all. but i really dont think we could and plus my son has friends on the street and its hard for him to make friends. but i just do everything and i dont think that i can take much more of it., i am trying my best but i am only human and can only do so much by myself.
