Struggling with drepression that's hard toovercome

Over the past few months I have been struggling with depression that I can't seem to get out of....I try to force myself to do the things I enjoy, but I just don't want to do them, and don't enjoy them.
I finally spoke to the Doctor about it, and we figured out what likely caused it, and she gave me some homework to do to try to help, and I Think maybe they have helped, but the depression is still here. I just feel very apathetic, and don't feel like going out or doing anything when I don't have to. It's really hard. Thanks for listening, and if anyone else has struggled with these symptoms and wants to talk about it, or offer advice that worked for them, I would appreciate it.

I can't get out of depression either. I don't really know of anything that would help make it better unfortunately.

Sorry to hear this hon. Try taking a high dose vitamin supplement and cutting sugar, plus walk daily in the sunshine and fresh air. Time can help if your depression is caused by a traumatic event. Take care of yourself and avoid stress and pressure. Sounds like you have an understand doc so that's half the battle won. Hope you start feeling better real soon.

    Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
