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.
Hi all. Does anyone have joint problems when they are really down? There isn't anything wrong with me as far as other illnesses. When I am really down everything hurts. My knees are the worst. I feel like I'm having to drag my body around if that makes any sense.
I have lots of med issues. And, I've noticed, those day when I'm down, depressed, I give in to dark thoughts, my whole body gets in on the act.
Basically, I'm saying a positive attitude helps me with my aches and pains. On those more positive days, even when the day is dreary and overcast (like now) a positive attitude keeps me from hurting as much.
Just my opinion. But, I'm pretty sure a medical doctor would agree.
