dangerously tired

I'm so tired of feeling this awful deep depression. I'm tired of fighting it every day - every minute of every day. I know that people who get this tired are the ones who end it. I can't end it. I've promised my children that I would stay alive, so I will stay alive, but this depression is dragging me down so far...

It's so hard, I know. Keep breathing, life will get better. Are you on medication? do you have support? Time for yourself? The most dangerous time for people with suicidal thoughts are just when they start to emerge from that black hole, it's then you think you 'see' more clearly how bad it is. Hold on and please get more help, I don't like putting this here but I will, I am a trained and 19 years experience counsellor for the despairing and suicidal. If you want to talk......I listen. xx

I just went on a higher dose of anti depressants, but it doesn't seem to be helping.

Give the meds time to work. Just know that it will get better when they start taking effect.

Good for you for making the decision to live! That can be a very hard thing to do. Depression is an illness, but it CAN be recovered from, and you WILL recover from this. What I try to do with myself is tell myself that this feeling is only temporary and it too will pass. I try not to get afraid that I will be stuck in this forever...even though sometimes it feels like I take 2 steps forward and three steps back. Are you in therapy? If not, see your doctor and ask for one, it can be very beneficial. Don't let yourself be dragged down...you are better than that and you CAN and WILL overcome this.

    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...
