Sometimes, I feel like going thru depression is like going thru emotional hell. It's a feeling that you just can't shake. You can only wait for the mood to pass. Being scared of your own thoughts is the worst thing in the world. I am at work, but barely functioning because I am consumed with my own thoughts. Today is my first therapy session.....I am praying this will help me.

The sessions will help but it will get worse before it gets better. When I was seeking treatment, I fell into a deeper depression but gradually was lifted out of it. The more I talked and got things off my chest, the better I felt. Just hang in there ok. It will get better.

Post # 2 may be right. Not always but sometimes. I am finding that to be true for me. I am trying a new therapy and have dropped lower....for now. I refuse to believe this is all there is. It WILL get better. 4 u...4 me....4 all of us who try.

Really pulling 4 U.

For me, when I started therapy I had to talk about a lot of things in my past that made me angry or hurt me. I had been holding to that anger and hurt for so many years that it turned into depression. My therapist needed me to get to the root of what was causing the pain. The more I talked and the more I dug up certain events was the more depressed I got. Having to face all the painful memories made me more depressed, but as I got it off my chest and as I started to understand the source of my anger, I started to feel better.

Everyday I feel more and more sick. Being in pain every day, I've learned to disguise it. So well that others don't believe my pain when I speak of it. Needing help but only receiving negative responses, I find my way but pay for it later. I absolutely need the rest but there's pressing things to be done.

Ugh my depression is really being triggered by the grief of losing my mom. Ugh it sucks. I wish this pain would leave me already.
