Hey friends, looking for support

Depression has hit me hard this past week,  I spent Tuesday,  Wednesday,  Thursday,  and today all day in bed and have no energy or motivation.  I need some words of support :(

It's hard sometimes especially if it seems to be coming from nowhere. As Annieheart said,treat yourself to something you want and your dog is awesome btw:)

Depression is no joke. I'm feeling anxious. Ugh anxiety sucks too. Hope you feel well soon.

Do you have any hobbies, share them with us, it might help give you some energy to think on things you enjoy

Thanks everyone. Today I got myself up off the couch and I'm cleaning the hose. It feels good. Although, I still have this nagging depression following me around, it's like this voice telling me to give up and lay down and overthink everything in my life. But I'm trying to fight it. At least the house is getting clean, and that in itself makes me feel as little better. Baby steps.

Oops cleaning the house not the hose. That actually made me laugh a little. That's good.

I’ve been struggling as well and something that helps me is getting out of the house and going for a walk. Talking with friends has also been helpful. I hope you are feeling better and doing something for yourself. something you enjoy.

Hello Brooklynn,
I’m glad you were able to get up, clean the house and helps you to feel little better.

Praying for you that you will remain strong in spite of depression. Continue doing the things you enjoy. I hope to hear from you again. Take care of yourself. God bless.

    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.
