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.
Hi everyone. I have terrible anxiety/depression when I wake up in the mornings. Usually around 5am or so. It just feels like I'm terrified of some unknow force or I'll just feel totally hopeless and empty.
The anxiety/depression seems to ebb and flow during the day but I'm mainly sad and empty. I'm just so tired of my own mind making me feel this way. It's like you can't escape from a prison you created within your own self.
I'm so grateful for what I have but this demon of depression just keeps robbing me of life. I try to be positive but when you sink so low it's very hard to see any light. I started Prozac about 2 weeks ago but nothing yet. I'm trying to live by the "This To Shall Pass" moto. I just pray it passes soon.
Is there any way to fix our minds?

SCGF - Hang in there. Many hugs!
Hang in there. It will get better.
Better late than never. If you don't experience relief with the Prozac in the allotted time frame, try something else. Just keep trying. Its a hit-and-miss affair but if you are persistent you will find at least some relief.
I've had major depression all my life, and now ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I can tell you from experience the ME/CFS is far worse. There are no treatments at all for this. Fortunately, this is no longer the case for depression as there are many options available these days,
Good luck and best wishes.
