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.
This past weekend is what broke me down. I feel mentally and physically drained from the amount of emotion incurred. So many tears and hours of sobbing... I just don't know what to do now.
I was off my medication for 6 days because my mail-order pharmacy could not get my order together. It was a mess. I should have called my Dr. for samples, but by the third day I was already depressed and by that point was ready to give up. They offered an emergency 7 day supply to hold me through and I didn't call my dr. to have him authorize the local pharmacy. I couldn't pick up the phone...
My body had already started to feel the pain brewing and my brain just said "I don't care". The first day off my meds was last Tuesday.
By Thursday I wasn't eating much and just sat at work all day doing absolutely nothing.
It just goes on and on... Super stressed at work, my boyfriend is in trouble and I can't help him, my best friend is getting divorced and a mess himself... I didn't even pick up the phone on Father's Day...
I sink quick when it all comes at once. I don't know what to do.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
Get your meds, and call your doctor. And don't forget - you can always go to the emergency room is you don't feel right.
It's this leftover feeling and this sadness inside me that wont dissapate. I should be happy right now. I have every reason to be... I'm just not...
In the meantime, find some things that make you happy - or happier.
A walk, a good movie, your favorite ice cream, something you haven't done for a while.
