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 have been suffering from depression since I was 5 years old. I have been on all kinds of medication to deal with it and none of it has helped me.. I have done very well with handling my depression until about the last 4 months or so.. The last 2 days have went really well I laughed and smiled for the longest time. I woke up today and I am not having a good day. I am sad and upset and I have no idea why it makes me so angry that this depression is controlling everything that I do... I am needing advice to ask what to do when this happens. I am at a crossroads and I don't know which way to go
Today is the most depressing day of the year so it might not be you but just Blue Monday. Tomorrow is another day which is another chance to be happy.
If you find yourself sinking further and further you may need to sit down and discuss it with your doctor. I personally keep a chart of my daily mood so I know if I am staying stable/normal or if i am dropping below/getting depressed or if I am riding a high/ overly happy.
Good Luck and Best Wishes
It took years of being a guinea pig and trying all different meds for me to find ones that worked. Bottom line is seek professional help. Big Hugs
