Depression Support Group
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.
ive been really sad lately and I can’t seem to figure out why...I had counseling today and it didn’t change anything I still wanna die at times. I just don’t wanna feel this way anymore......what do I do
It has taken me a long time to realise that when we are depressed and think there is no reason for it... that is a symptom of depression as a mental illness.
If you had won some money, you might have a temporary relief, but then you would still be depressed.
It is a symptom that occurs in the brain that we cannot do anything about.
People say to me: I get depressed this time of year because such and such died. They then go onto make me feel really selfish.
My Mother died too this time of year too and the emotion is one to be expected, plus to me it seems different to me.
I have tried not to put this into some phy cological babble, because well I don't know how to.
I hope you ask for some antidepressants (low dose) to try. I am taking 25mg Citropram.
And if you are on some, then change them ... they are not working.
I really feel strongly about this, because time after time I am made to feel that I should feel guilty because I am depressed.
I hope you will be my friend.
I do tend to go on a bit and lose the point I am making.
