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 was diagnosed and put on meds 3 months ago and I don't expect miracles but I just want to feel better. Today is one of those days that is just downright hard to cope with. I keep crying and feeling hopeless. It's hard to get out of bed or do anything social. I could use some support especially while my doc is still trying different solutions with me.

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...
I WAS on prozac for 3 months before choosng to come off against medcal advice. I have been drinking herbal tea (Peppermint for the system and Lemon for anti-stress & anti-depressant), burning candles and oil burners (mainly lemon and lavender). Also I talk to people on DS. I feel that all this has and is helpng me alot. I have received so much support here and for that I am very thankful for as I strongly feel that I wouldn't be where I am without them. Hope this helps and feel free to talk to me. Big hugs xxx
