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.
So this February I had this 3 day breakdown / panic attack. I immediately knew I was depressed and had been for years. I told someone what was going on and why I thought it was happening. We figured out what we should do. This was in February. My problem is now it’s basically November and I haven’t done anything and it’s only getting worse. I would say ok right after this I’ll do it or right after that I’ll do it. I’ll say I don’t need the extra stress right now. It seemed something always came up for me to procrastinate. My question is what’s wrong with me that I won’t fix this. Am I lazy, is it the depression, do I think it’s going to fix itself? I know what I have to do to get the ball rolling but I can’t. Is it fear, am I that useless? I don’t know, and that just adds to my stress and depression.
I’m sorry to hear this. Please know that we are here and we care for you. I have a friend who is going through depression for a year now and she said doing the things she needs to do is a struggle. I’m sorry you are having a tough time right now but I hope you can make an appointment with your doctor. He/she can help you to manage your emotions and get well. I hope things will get better for you.
You are in my prayers, God bless.
