I can't seem to stop crying. I feel like I am in this dark whole and there is little light. I know that I should be strong but I am not. I have so much going for me I should not be feeling like this.

It is truly rare that we cry for no reason. If you are feeling sad, I hope the feeling passes. Crying is actually okay, let it out. Keeping it in only prolongs the suffering.

You are entitled to all your feelings - no guilt okay?

The dark hole is depression & medical intervention is required.

I hope you are getting it.

hugs!

We all feel like this at times. It is just part of the depression dragons.
Hang in there and know you are not alone.

Allowing yourself the time to cry is actually a good thing. I find that when I hide how I feel it gets me worse in the long run. Depression is there even when times are good in our lives. It knows no time zones,ect. Just there. Just think that with as quick the bad days come the good ones do to. just hang on for that good day. I promise it will come.

Crying out of the blue like that is a symptom of depression. IF it and any other symptoms (I have alist if you want, let me know.) lasts longer than a couple of weeks, you should see your Dr. about meds and/or therapy.

The last statemant you made, it doesn't matter how much you have going for you, it's depression. Depression doesn't care if it seems like you should be fine right now, it just does it's thing regardless.

Thats what makes it harder to understand, if someone got cancer right out of the blue, no reason, everyone would rally round, unfortunetely you dont get that with depression. You end up feeling guilty because you've got nothing to be sad about.

You've got to try and seperate you from the depression thoughts, it's not you thats thinking/feeling this its a sysmtom, I know its still you that has to live with it, but try not to let it swallow you up.

I'm sorry I waffeled on, I hope it makes sense.x

    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...
