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.
I'm struggling so much, I'm angry and irritable almost all of the time. My fiancé and I are having issues, my careers' in tatters and my friends are all becoming increasingly distant, (not that I blame them, I don't want to be around this version of me either) amongst everything else. I just can't go on feeling so low, depression is slowly drowning me and I just don't know how to get up. My GP has now labelled me as treatment resistant and it just feels like nothing will ever work, I have tried so many types of medication. I Was finally starting to get somewhere with a counsellor and she left meaning that I had to go back to the waiting lists. I just don't want to carry on like this. And if this is it - what's the point?
TMS ECT Google 'em.
I also, and this is so hard when you're feeling depressed, incorporated physical activity into my day. Yoga, walking, running - whatever you feel you can do, even if it's just 10 minutes can really make a difference in how you feel.
You mentioned that you're being treated by a GP. I don't know if you're in the US or not, but it may be worth being evaluated by a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists tend to have more specific knowledge about different medications/med combinations than a GP would.
Wishing you peace <3
