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.
When I was at Havenwyk hospital I did not fell depressed. No racing thoughts or mania. I was almost normal. When I got home and opened the door the smell of mold and mildew almost made me sick. My brother is a hoarder and a conspiracy freak. He has mental problems but thinks psychology was invented by the communists to control the people by keeping us doped up on medications. I am at the partial hospital at St Johns in Warren michigan. I feel a little less depressed. When I go back home I go back to isolating watching TV and the computor. I need help. They may discharge me monday. That is depressing me becaise I like being in partial.
i feel 100% when im in the same room with people or watchin a good show but as soon as i iso my self it drop. try, tryinng new things maybe that will help
If you are living with your brother then it's time to move either you or him out. The last thing you need is his thoughts shoved down your throat. That sort of diatribe, day after day would drive anyone to the edge.
Isolating? I think we are all alone regardless of who's around. Like it sounds to me like you are alone even if your brother is there, right?
So learn to enjoy being alone and getting to like being alone. Don't let the lethargy force you into old habits. Find some mental distractions at least. There are so many things on the internet to do for starters that are far more interesting than TV.
Have you ever checked out the Hubble telescope site? Blow your mind it will.
Have you seen the picture of the Big Bang, recently on TV? All these years later and we can still see the dust settling from the Big Bang. Unbelievable to think about and it's real.
That's just one example. You can explore countries online too if you want. You just have to find something that will interest you and keep your mind occupied.
