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.
last week i was suffering really bad panic attacks and having these anxious thoughts they did start to get better as i had not been sleeping and was starting to go a bit diluded, and did try and harm myself, but stopped and told my dad i was given sedatives this did help but yester and today i feel really bad again, im getting these nasty thougths in my head again, i just want to be happy like i used to be!, i feel like i was making progress but have gone back a step and am finding it hard to cope.

I always had depression and anxiety treated realatively well with meds, but I took a huge step back recently and am having difficulty getting out of it. I empathize with you. You have my prayers. It is SO HARD.

I think one of the truths of depression is "one step forward, two steps back." I know how tough it can be. Kind regards.

Stay on the beaten path. Eventually you hit pavement and walking becomes easier. We all have set backs. We all have times where we feel we are out of the woods and then suddenly we are right back in. Hang in there. Keep talking to your dad. Between the two of you...talk to your doctor and maybe something can be done to help you bounce back.

Our minds do torture us hun. I was just crying the other day thinking of the person I used to be. A go getting power house. Now I am lucky if some days I get the paper.lol I have found that talking to friends on here who understand exactly what I am going through and being 100% honest with therapy is the best answer. I am waiting for a visit now with another counsellor. I keep pushing until I am taken seriously and until something else is tried out. You need to do the same. Dont mourn the person you were. Look forward to the person you may be. Hard work and honesty will make us both people who can live with these illnesses and someone we will be proud of.

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...
