I am so tired of feeling drained!!!
I am so frustrated with my Thoughts and Feelings!
I cant sleep properly and i cant concentrate!!!
I feel no good to anyone and not sure why people want to know me!!!!

I know these are all feelings of being depressed but i feel after 10 years i should be able to manage it better than i do?
Sometimes i am ok and can get on with my life with just few negative thoughts but it seems that i just have major relapses and each time has become easier to some degree to manage and get through but it seems that i am getting more and more to the point of giving up fighting cos i am so tired of it and i know it will be back!!!!
I dont know where to find that motivation to keep going?

mine has been going on for 9 months straight. I plotted everything out. even threw my things away and got rid of personal things i didnt want anyone to read or see. I left a notebook full of letters to my kids and tried to call the funeral home to make sure my funeral wishes were carried out. which were to be cremated and to have no service. Then I couldnt do it. So here I am still depressed as hell everyday is a huge struggle for me. I can't even barely get out of bed let alone to the dr. I relize some people have more strength and I hope your one of them. I just don't understand why everyone has to hurt soooo much. I haven't had a happy time in my life since febuary.

all I can say is to try and distract yourself because under the depression is a fun and loving person.I know that sometimes it feels like the depression is the only thing coming through but dont give up we all see that little ray of hope shining through.I hope you can see it too.

depression is the hardest thing I have had to deal with. Not really the hardest but the most lasting and something that I know I will always have. While most people in your immediate family think you are just lazy or rude cause you dont feel like answering phones or pulling your head out, they will never understand how you feel. I agree with redsilver. Get back to the Doc and find something that will atleast help.. Good luck honey..

    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...
