There are certain things in life that you can not control. For me it hurts even more that I can not cnotrol my brain; because it is the only thing I have going for me. I thought I was smart I thought all of this was just an excuse, but now I feel like nothing. I just want it all to go away; I have so many thoughts, dreams etc. All I can think of is how upset I am is there anything I can do to stop it?

i think that is why most of us are depressed... our minds won't slow down, especially with the negative thoughts. the best thing for me is to talk about the thoughts and feelings i have... and hopefully eventually i will get them all out.

I hope this doesn't sound silly in light of your troubles, but I always try to meditate when I am feeling especially bad, or when my mind starts racing uncontrollably. I sit in candlelight, soft music, and I just focus on one peaceful thing. I have actually created my own little fantasy world that I escape to, with characters and all! Sometimes it helps to escape from reality and focus on a world only you control. I hope this helps, and peace to you!
Love,

The one thing and ONLY thing I can appreciate from depression is the muse that it gives me.

Well, it seems to me to took the first step in helping it stop. You identified it and asked for help. Probably be best to seek professional help. You can read self-help books, go to face to face support groups, etc. But with professional help it will be faster and more easily comprehended.

When i'm depress, I write, everything that comes to my mind, it helps a lot. Is like crying. I used to cry a lot, not anymore.

Dont give up , your brain, thoughts and dreams are still there, they are in a mist at the moment but they will come back. There's nothing worth waiting for more than your mind and your dreams.

Untill that happens take one day at a time, don't be to hard on yourself and enjoy what you can.x

Take one day at a time hon. When this is too much...go by minutes at a time. You will make it through this fog. It will just take time.

    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...
