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.
Today I feel completely exhausted again. I feel weak, sore muscles, sick to my stomach and a headache. Every time I get up to walk I feel like Im going to pass out from being dizzy. I feel really angry and frustrated. Days like today are the ones where I seriously feel I could take my own life. Im so sick of feeling this way..So weak and exhausted and tired and my anxiety is through the roof. I just want to crawl into a hole and find peace. I am getting so sick of this struggle with my anxiety and depression.
the only good thing about depression is that it is treatable almost all of the time, the challenge is the meds and treatments are trial and error.
There is hope you can get better I am sorry you are feeling so low and desperate I have been there trust me this will pass.
What pains we continue to carry deep inside that tear us up hidden secrets and shame.
This will be little help to lessen your pain unless you share it with others your DS friends your family but I thought it was worth sharing it with you.
My attitude will make this day and every day what they become. Meeting it head on, with love for life and God, will assure me of a lovely day
Many others before you have suffered and survived experiences equally devastating gives you hope, it will not lessen your own personal suffering. It cant, but out of suffering comes a new understanding. Suffering also encourages youre appreciation of the lighter, easier times. Pain experienced fully enhances the times of pleasure.
Our sufferings are singular, individual and lonely. But our experience with it can be shared; thereby lessening the power it has over you. Sharing your pain with other people also helps them remember that their pain too, is survivable.
Suffering softens you, helps you to feel more compassion and love towards another. Your sense of belonging to the world the human race, our recognition of the interdependence and friendship of us all are the most cherished results of the gift of pain.
Each of your sufferings, sharing them with others, as you should do, strengthens you and heals your wounds of alienation.
Choose to help ourselves and one another to be as we are, to quit making comparisons to understand our equality and to celebrate our different gifts, today my heart will be lightened.
A solid jolt of Jedi mind peacifying to you. May it start with just a small curl of a smile from your lips.
OR GET INTO COUNSELING
Alphonsus, thank you...I am trying to learn to mediate, but today with four other people in my little townhouse it is hard to find a quiet spot. It has been raining so I can't even go to the park or anything to get some alone time.
meandthebeast thank you so much for taking the time to write. I feel guilty with the way I feel knowing how much pain you are in right now with the loss of Ricky. Thank you!
Presently I do see my pdoc and family doctor regularly. I just had my effexor increased again last week.
gjones, I have also been in DBT for a few weeks, but I am finding it not very helpful. I asked my pdoc about doing CBT but he feels the DBT is better for me.
I guess I'm just feeling so bad today it is hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.
thank you chelle....i don't find i have a very good support system. I think my family is growing tired and not really understanding.
Two of the people are my kids. My son is understanding, my daughther has a harder time with it.
