OH I don't even know what to say. I haven't been on here since last week. I am so tired of feeling like this! I feel OK one day and then the next I am a wreck. I get so down on myself that I am not accomplishing what I want to. I have so much to do around the house including some craft items left half done. I feel like I don't do much with my kids anymore. I'm tired and feel sick most of the time. I don't know what's wrong with me. Why can't I just move on from the past? Why can't I just feel good for a change? I don't expect anyone to have any answers but I just needed to vent. I think I really need help.

Hi,

I'm sorry u r feeling so down; I have been there, also, and am there now, to an extent, but the Wellbutrin gets me going to work, where before, I would just stay in the house all the time, and call into work sick. You should seek advice from your doc and see about therapy and meds, if u aren't on any now. I am here to listen to u anytime!

Surely you owe it to both yourself and your kiddies to get it then hon? If you can talk to us, complete strangers about this kind of thing you're certainly brave enough to go to a medical professional, hold on honey x

I have been in therapy and on meds for many years. I did fine without any of either for 11 yrs. then last year at this time had another break down. I am back on meds and seeing a therapist. I just feel so lost sometimes.

With a disease such as depression, it can come and then go away for awhile; it happened to me, also. So, go back to the doc, get meds, and seek therapy; you have all of our support!

Thank you for venting and sharing your pain, that's very courageous. Try and stop being so hard on yourself, it will only make things worse. I agree with some of the others, it's time to get some help. You can feel better in time. You deserve to feel better. I hope some of the replies will boost your mood. I'm available to message to if you ever need to.

Dear Momma Bear,
I just wanted to tell you that I live in the upper midwest and the lack of sunlight REALLY gets me down. I use to live in sunny southern CA and it makes such a huge difference.Plus, and this is just a theory I have~ low pressure gradient areas (like where you and I dwell) just might be a factor.
I hope you can get some 'umph' going for yourself and look to what helps support you right now.

    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...
