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 haven't posted much in this community yet. I have several issues going on right now. I have been diagnosed with depression. 4 weeks ago, I started having pain in my ears & went into my head. They are still there, but not as bad since I got on meds. I was told today that I have to go in for a Temporal Artery Biopsy. Also, with the Prednisone that I am on, combined with the depression, even though I am taking depression meds, my depression is getting worse. I don't know what to do, where to turn, how to feel. I feel lonely, empty, sad, angry. I had to give up my job this week, as I'm not able to work right now & don't ever know if I will be able to work again. I am married. I love my Husband with every fiber of my being. We've been having problems too. I am scared that he's going to leave again even though he said he isn't leaving. He's told me before that he wasn't going to leave & ended up leaving for 4 days, two weeks ago when he got mad. I'm SCARED to say the least!~!

It sounds like you need to call your doctor and/or therapist. In the mean time, keep coming here to vent. There are a lot of encouraging people here. Hugs.

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...
