always feeling down

I am always feeling down. I take my meds (we have changed them more times than I can count) but still I feel down. My live is not perfect, but I shouldn't feel as depressed as I should. Lots of people have it a lot worse than I do, so I should consider myself lucky. I used to drink to self medicate but now I eat. I have gained 20 pounds this year and that only helps to make me more depressed. The holidays are coming up fast and that only makes me feel sad and lonely. Sorry to go on like this....guess I just wanted to vent.

I think the worst thing you can do is blame yourself for your feelings believe it or not sometimes depression really isn't your fault welcome and feel better x

Aww that's awful :(
I'm sorry things aren't going so good with you right now. First off, don't worry about your weight just yet okay? If it's really bothering you, you can take care of it later. first thing to do is make sure YOUUUU are okay!! Talking to people usually helps, right?
Just keep in touch with close friends and try to have a happy holiday! Spend time with friends and family! :) best wishes

Ive gained weight too. Its a bummer eh :( And i know exactly what you mean about the holidays... you want to wear nice stuff but cant because you feel horrible. We have to get out of this rut... we are the only people that can do anything about it... we need to be positive and eat sensibly and change our habits. Yeah i know, easier said than done but we can do it!!! :)

I feel the same way. I am often so consumed with my problems that I am blind to the world around me. I know people have it better or worse than me, but I can't see beyond my own problems...I hate that.

I can really relate to much of what you say. Holidays make me feel down, and also have gained weight. Maybe we can support each other at some point to get back in a healthier place. I've been telling myself after the holidays need to get back into exercising and eating in a balanced healthy way.

I tell myself everyday that I am going to eat healthy and do some exercise, but then I get stressed out or feeling depressed and eat junk. Maybe if we can support each other, we can do it. I appreciate your words of support.

    yesday I was walking the same block I've walked for a year. I walked pass the German Shepards house and he came out the door of the fence and went straight for my yorkies neck. I went into Mama bear mode jumped on the back of the German Shepard all 100 pounds of me and wrestled with a German Shepard that weighs more than me. When I jumped on him like a horses back. I had dish gloves on and...
