I know it's been awhile since I've been on here... I thought I could do this but I can't seem to shake this feeling. I've gone threw breakups and over came it. I've been dealing with my depression for years now and I've always been able too keep my demons on a leash. But this last one. I can't do it, I can't shake it I can't seem to get up and my demons are running loose. I'm losing and I know it. I've had thoughts of ending it. But I think of my family, of the few friends I have left, And I stop. I'm losing this fight and I don't Know what I can do.

Please see a doctor. They can help with medication. If you are totally against doctors, research herbs such as St John's Wart. Seek help before you no longer can.

Have you tried journaling on paper? I know it helps me, or is helping me. I stopped for a couple of yrs and just recently started again. After you are done journaling on the paper you can either keep it, which is what I do, because I like to look back and see where I've come from, or tear it up or burn it. But if you burn it make sure it is in a fire save container. Please don't sell yourself short. You can keep going and I am glad that you are. Please seek help from a Dr.

    It's been some time since my last post...sorry. I've been going through a challenging time with the sale of my home, purchase of a condo and my adult asperger son that lives with me. I've had days where I couldn't get out of bed, days where I stayed in my pj's and days where all I managed to do was eat, drink fluids and take care of my Sweet Mia kitty. Sweet Mia came to me from a shelter about...

    If I come to DS and it won't do anything when I click "Login", I go to a post, click and then click "Leave a Reply".  Then it will let me log in.Of course, sometimes DS just goes to "Error 504".  Then I can't log in.
