I'm sick of being a victim of my depression. I'm sick of feeling like shit all the time, of having no energy or enthusiasm. Basically, I'm sick of not being able to live my life. I'm going to start walking every day and swimming in my days off. I'm going to start volunteering at the cat shelter again because it always made me feel better. I'm going to do things in my free time that I enjoy, like drawing. My psych increased the dose on one of my meds, so we'll see how that goes. Saw my fella this morning; still haven't told him about all this but it felt so great being with him. I'm just sick of being miserable. This is going to stop.

Oh hell yes!! It is GREAT to see someone with your attitude and plan. I got over my SERIOUS/MAJOR depression ... by staying BUSY. NO TIME for depression.

You go Girl!!

I love this.

You 'get it' ..... meds HELP, but we STILL have to work at it .... and MAKE SOME CHANGES.

Lol well neither am I, honestly. I aim to get there though. There's always a choice. Thank you everyone for backing me up, I don't really see myself as being inspirational or positive, I'm just sick of this crap lmao

Yay!!! So proud of you for taking positive steps towards a brighter tomorrow! Kick this thing to the curb!!! Yes...get involved, volunteer/serve others, exercise, etc. Way to go!

Exactly - there's ALWAYS a choice (they may be crappy choices, but it's still a choice) and while we recognize that we hold on to our power. We are only a victim if we choose to be. Keep at it Red!! TR

We are cheering for you. It's hard ... I know ... but you WILL change your life for the better if you 'stay on it'. Don't lose sight of your goals.

How wonderful. Your anger worked for you. Putting back all the pieces that depression hates for us to do... how grand. Please keep us posted on your progress each day. Hugs.
