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.
I'm not in a happy place in life right now. I realize that I do have a fairly decent life, I mean I have a job, food on the table and a roof over my head. I have a boyfriend that I have been with for several years. But as of late it's like nothing brings me joy,I have grown to hate my job, I feel that my boyfriend is no longer interested, and that all my other relationships with friends and family just seem like a burden. I. Have. Tried to find the joy but to no avail. Everyone I have spoken to about my feelings dismiss it as me being over sensitive or just doing it for attention. Not sure what do to from here, the Dr just keeps shoveling me medication which helps a little,but make me feel numb no feeling at all.not sure what to do....
I'm so sorry hear that you are feeling this way. And I'm sorry to hear that you aren't getting the emotional support that you need. Are the people you are talking to close family or friends? Have you considered talking to a professional? Since the medication isn't helping as much as you would like for it to, maybe your doctor can refer you to a therapist or counselor? Often times talking with a professional and taking medication has better outcomes than just using medication. I hope things begin to improve. Please remember that there is always hope. I hope things improve for you soon.
