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.
In a nut shell thats how I feel right now I have several health problems Prolapsed valve in my heart, thats where one of the valves in one chamber doesnt close all the way so my heart has to double beat or even skips some times. Add anxiety problems to that and my chest feels like its compressing and on fire and being stabbed all the time. Sum it up feels like a heart attack pretty much 24/7. I also have deQuervain's Tenosynovitis in my wrists. Its a rare type for some one as young as I am your not suppose to get this till youre at least 35 40 I was diagnosed with this at 17. The last angle of this nice little puzzle is I have the classic ADHD, diagnosed like when I was 5? I take meds for the anxiety, adhd, and wrists problems.
Now add the depression twist and its one hell of a screwed up party in me. Its not promising when the Dr goes through a list of like 6 7 meds and says I cant take any of them because I will either go into shock or even die because of my existing complications. One of many reasons why I say I cant take any anti depression meds. The ones I have tried have really screwed with my anxiety and or my med for my hands.
I guess the point of this ramble is Ive last my sack of marbles and I mean the ones that were in my brain :-p Any one else feel like that?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I don't directly know what it feels like, but in dealing with my daughter i understand the frustration.
Your marbles are not lost, just a bit scattered. You are definitely not alone!
