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 was feeling much better and I thought I'd gotten over my depression and anxiety and then wham there it is back again worse than ever, I have friends and family but i feel so alone and i dont know why??? I feel like there is no point to anything any more and I just dont want to go on feeling like this, I wish I had someone close to me who understood and who i could talk to, anyone out there?
Pllease don't feel that you are alone. I to have all the feelings that you are talking about. Sometimes I think what we (I) try to express is that this depression/anxiety is not a fun roller coaster to ride. And I too want off of the ride. I have spoke a little about these things in my journal. You don't have to look at them but you I am sure will completely understand the words.
Be good to yourself.
I have been doing good for a year and now here I go again...It is just part of my life now. I just keep believing I will get better again like last time. And I always do. But it doesn't make it any easier. For the past 2 years I have been trying to learn my trigger points, like wanting to stay in bed all day, or a few days, or feeling like crying and hopeless. Whn I FIRST start feeling like that I make my self get up and do something, anything to make myself feel better. This will work for a while for me, but sometimes it still gets the best of me...I really didn't mean to write so much!
What I meant to say is find a regimen that works for you, this will be an ongoing process and will change from time to time...you will get thru it, just don't forget to live your life in the process. You can do this! Stay strong and use this web site it will help you.
I am so sorry that you are feeling so low at the moment. I know it's hard to hear it but there are really so many things that can help. I have just joined Twitter and am starting a new resource list of articles, free online courses and evidence to help people who are feeling depressed. I am a depression sufferer and I know how hard it is. Please stay in touch with everyone - you are NOT alone, please know that.
Thing is, choices are offered to questions posed and that my friend is a lot of life one doesn't have to experience for the education one receives on life's journey....
Free of charge by the loving ppl here...

Life takes on a new meaning when you work your arse off fighting it with all your might.. I use to drink to kill the pain.. My life has gotten a lot better since I drop kicked the alcohol..
Good luck.. and God bless..
I was diagnosed with depression/anxiety last year, I started meds and saw a counsellor and felt so much better, I am still taking the tablets and have continued to feel better for many many months now and then a few weeks ago the old feeling started again and its just horrible, i thought i had conquered it and found the treatment that i needed now i've had to increase the medication and am feeling nauseous and jittery, i really dont want to carry on the rest of my life like this
Thanks again for all your aupport
