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've been chronically, mildly to severely depressed on and off, for at least 11 or so years.
the last 2 months however, were the longest i spent, not feeling depressed.
although, that was because i came out of treatment for anorexia almost 3 months ago..and my body was/is healthier...and i was as depressed before going into treatment.
anyway....so i was okay, up until a few days ago.
everything irritates me..upsets me..angers me..
to the point where my head gets almost..clouded with these feelings and i just become so..AHHH.
i don't leave the house much to begin with because of anxiety, so this just makes me stay in my room more.
trying to do an online course, and i'm totally stuck at this one part..and it just is making feel so much worse.
part of me wants to just give up...and part of me knows if i do that, it just gives me an excuse to fail and hate myself more.
i'm not sure if a med for the winter months would be an actual solution..
i've tried pretty much all of the anti-depressants out there, with no good effects.
i have a feeling this is just something i have to struggle through...again.
but i also worry because last year...i became unsafe...and i don't live near either set of parents, or have friends to stay with.
i wish i could take off and go somewhere warm for the winter months.

I'm so sorry that you feel this way..i have anxiety problems as well, and i have issues just going outside for a smoke somedays without having problems..Do you have friends that are close to you that you could call just to have someone to talk to, or have them come over for coffee so you don't feel so lonely, and alone??I don't live near any of my family either, but i do have friends that are close to me and they are my biggest support system. If i'm having anxiety problems i call one of them up and they will either come over or just talk to me on the phone! I have this one friend that literally forces me to step outside of my house, even if it's just for a smoke on my really bad days! But i also have days where i'm all alone and my kids are in school and instead of me going to pick them up i'll call them a cab to bring them home so i don't have to go out and i can just hibernate in my house! I do know how you feel...if you would like to talk further, plz let me know!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
