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 have this severe depression for three-four years..I was always kind of sad but after a treatment with Accutane it got really bad..
Sometimes I have bouts of optimism but it goes away very fast and I get very sad in a matter of minutes...There are times when i think about all the things i like doing and feel like doing them, but when I get down to it I just can't focus on anything and even get anxiety attacks..
I have tried going to a counsellor but after waiting for 4 hours at the door,witha ppointment, she sent me home because she said, she was feeling very tired..I can't afford one in private practice..They're just too expensive. Those that are free won't stay to listen or talk..
I don't know how to cope with this alone..I can see me trying to get out of it but nothing works..Do you have any ideas?
