I have talked to my Dr and tried hotlines. No real help.
Does this site really help?

Hi Miriam, I do find this site helps to make connections with real people. I tend to suffer depression and isolate myself, so making friends here can really help. I'm sorry to hear you're having a tough time... I hope the change in medication helps. Keep your head up!

Thank you. That means a lot.

Yes, this site helps and yes, there is still goodness out there. All of us have been there where you are now. Wait and let the new meds take hold and also wait to see the next sunrise. everything looks better in the light of a new day.

What is the source of your depression or what is getting you down?

I’ll say a prayer for you. Keep your strength.

Thanks to everyone. I will be able to write more later today.

Just tried to write explanation but was cut off. Long story. Will not do this again. So much said and went into space.

Thoughts are with you.

That happens to me sometimes too. I can spiral a bit while writing everything out, and if I don't have the time and energy to fully process everything I get caught in the spiral. For me, having alone time to get it out, feel it, and process it makes all the difference. Wishing you well!

it's a good place with a lot of good people.. many of whom are in the same boat or worse and are just looking for a gentle shoulder and a sympathetic ear..

some, like myself, are always up for making new friends and trying to find others who will treat us kinder than perhaps some in our lives do so dont be afraid to reach out to others and maybe you'll find something or someone you've been missing out on..

hope you feel better soon!

I meant that I was explaining my life and all of a sudden everything I had written disappeared without hitting send button.. I was calm, not hysterical. Why did that happen?? Makes not want to come back.

I will be praying for you. I will pray you find the support you need, strength to move forward and wisdom to understand how valuable YOU are! I hope the med change helps... keep talking to people and staying connected. Hugs!
