Daily depression

I am getting tired of daily depression. First I get lonely and eventually get depressed. I feel my life is really bad and I eat cupcakes and talk to my DS family. I take meds from the VA hospital and I guess I will just have to live with it.

Yes, depression is a very serious, paninful, and it's reality. Some people might not see it that way, but it's a disease. Hang in there, and I will be here to help you through it anyway I can.

Hi Brad, I'm a bit like you. I have chronic agoraphobia as well, so I never see anyone. I also have found a family here and many good friends. I haven't seen you before so I hope you get to join iun with some of the fun times we have here too.

Sorry to hear you are feeling so down.. You have been through alot it sounds like. Hang in there and see if the dr. can get you on another kind of med. I have been on meds for atleast 15 years. I have been through them all. Some work for awhile and then I have to change to something else. Now on Cymbalta and it is helping along with all the great people on DS.. Good luck.. Peace to you

cupcakes are a must. Have you talked to your doctor about maybe changing the meds you take again to find one that works a little better? This is something I would do. Dont stop until you are enjoying your life brad.

Hey brad, are you seeing a therapist or anything? It helps to see someone or talk to someone locally as well as talk to people on here.

Glad you wrote to the board. Hope you find what you need.

Brad: I work at a VA hospital and I hope that you are getting help there. You have had a bad time of it for sure. My prayers are with you. Also, you live in a beautiful part of the country. Enjoy it.
