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.
Gosh, I have been dealing with the ride for months now and I wonder if it will ever end. I really can understand that some people are driven over the edge. I am not there, and hope I get help before then. I have been seeing a therapist, taking medication and trying my hardest, but it seldom feels as though I am making progress.
Is there any such thing as progress? I hope so.
My doctor is considering switching my medication and I hope that happens soon, as I am stressed to the max and ..... well, it isn't helping, let's put it that way... the medication seems to be failing me.
I know I am not the only one here in this situation. I know you all care. I know I care about all of you and your struggles. I wish I had a magic wand. I would be waving it like crazy right now, for us all.
Thinking of you all....

I know how frustrating finding the right med can be. I have been through 3 now that havent worked. Im sure you will have better luck than me though, as most people do. I would keep on your doc and get it swaitched asap. What drug are you on? How long? Dont take effexor (in my opinion) it is hell to get off.

Yes, I wish you had a magic wand too, I know you would make us all well. That was so sweet of you to post it. I surely made me feel much better by just knowing someone out there really cared. Thank you! It was such a gloomy day before your thought.

Just hang in there. I know that means nothing at this time, but it will some day. I hope. Just keep working with the doctors they get it right sooner or later.

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...
