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.
Sitting here at work is hard. Nobody seems to understand my struggle. I struggle just to make it thru the day. I cry all the time. Yes, I'm on meds....they can only help but so much. I come to work because, I'm afraid of being alone with my thoughts.....and I feel it's good to be around people. I've been struggling with this episode for almost 2 months and it feels like a lifetime.
My husband says, I'm doing better than I have been, however, it's hard for me to see it.
Question, has anyone on meds still have crying spells and nervousness? How do you cope with them? I find it hard to sit and concentrate on one thing too long.

Everyday I feel more and more sick. Being in pain every day, I've learned to disguise it. So well that others don't believe my pain when I speak of it. Needing help but only receiving negative responses, I find my way but pay for it later. I absolutely need the rest but there's pressing things to be done.

Ugh my depression is really being triggered by the grief of losing my mom. Ugh it sucks. I wish this pain would leave me already.
Only pple who have had depression, will understand how you feel, so if no one at work has suffered it or been through it, they wont get it.
Its good your able to go to work, but its also good to realise that your not coping.
Maybe go back to doctors and review your medication.
Some medications have a side effect of anxiousness, restlessness, etc.
I agree, no matter what, it is very positive that you are around people, and not isolating. Isolation is a horrible side effect of depression, so it's HUGE that you are at work, and not giving in to your symptoms.
Keep fighting. I have been where you are, and it WILL get better.
