I can't seem to bring myself out of it. I'm so down. Being at work is a struggle. Living is a struggle. I feel like I've run a marathon by the time I've left work. My body aches.

I want to fight it. This sucks!

I'm also battling an eating disorder. I'm actually doing OK with it. I'm making progress with it. :o)

I just changed meds too, but they haven't seemed to kick in at all.

I know it's tough but hang in there. Your meds just got changed. sometimes it takes a while for your body to get used to the new meds. Your battling an eating disorder..and your winning.

The meds do take some times so STEPH's right hang in. You're doing well dealing with all that and I think it's a testament to your own strength that you're keeping on at it. Don't give up, you've come so far. x

Been there. Get out in the sun or get an ott lamp. Start one positive affirmation that you repeat and meditate on daily. Let people love on you.

I understand the sensation completely,,,,,,,,I am so tired by the end of the work day. The truth is I haven't worked a full week in months. Just can 't do it. And I am at the point where I only shower when I really really need to.

The meds will need some time. Hopefully u feel a difference soon!

Sometimes it is very important to notice the "small" victories more than the assumed failures....any progress is a step toward total victory....be encouraged and keep up the fight...

Depressions come and depressions go. This one will end, too. They always do but that doesn't offer much comfort when you are mire in one. I say a little prayer for you. jreb

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
