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 wish there was a pill one could take to be motivated. I could deal with depression much better if I could just get the motivation to do stuff.
I haven't been able to lose weight because I can't get the motivation to exercise.
I am moving later this month and I can't get the motivation to pack.
I dislike my current job and am unmotivated to do it as well as I could or make the best of it.
I have applied for other jobs and interviewed and I think I might be motivated to do those, but based on my current track record I wonder if it would be more of the same.
Heck, I am not even motivated to leave the bed unless I have to for work and even then I've been known to skip staff meetings marking them as unimportant in my mind.
then on the more mundane side...
I have no motivation to clean, cook or other daliy things. I don't even want to shower most days but I do if I decide I have to for some reason.
I see a psychiatrist next month, I hope she finds my magic pill. 40mg of paxil isn't working anymore.

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...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
The thing is depression robs you of your motivation in varying levels.
The longer and deeper the depression the harder it is to find motivation for change. It is a self repeating cycle that can spiral down. Finding a good pdoc can do wonders, having supportive family and friends can be a life saver, hope you have both.
Have you tried B vitamins?
I have also tried those 5 hour energy shots when I was driving once. They really did work. It is mainly B-vitamins too. I don't think it would be good to take one of those daily though. Although I have thought of it.
