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.

You seem to be at a point where it would be advisable for you to see a professional who may recommend medication and/or therapy. You need to talk about what you are feeling. Continue to talk to us on this site.

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.

    I've been on high dose prednisone for pneumonia, and now I am slowly weaning. But lots of symptoms I don't like having, plus overeating has put at least 10 lbs on me. The food is "loud" as the GLP-1 users refer to it.Also pressured speech. Which comes out in my posts. Sorry I posted so much. I just need an outlet for my agitated and irritable brain. Just scroll on by my posts, if they are too...

    Has anyone heard from Jenn, she had an adult son with aspergers, Eric, they lived a long time with her grandmother, then they moved into an apartment. She had a funny little picture if I recall of a short dark haird woman as part of her name in a red dress.There are so many people who have dropped away from this room...I wonder where they are, and miss them. Wishing that DS could become what it...
