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.
Last week I screamed out for help. I told my old therapist, I told me new therapist and this is what is going on now
My therapist called me on the phone on Thursday and got me admitted into the Intensive Outpatient Day Treatment program. Through this program I will be able to be put on meds sooner.I will also be able to see a nutritionist so that will be awesome! I will go from 9-4, 5 days a week. I am currently in the process of finding childcare so I can make this happen.
My therapist also found a primary care physician that was accepting my insurance and they set me up with an appointment for Nov. 26th. I Know I will have to be seen sooner then that with all that is going on, but it is a good start again. I also had a ninety minute session with my therapist on Friday.
If I can't make this work, then I will be put inpatient. As of yet I have had zero help from it but the entire first day was just getting checked in. I am not able to go today because all 3 kids are out of school for Veterans Day.
Physically things with me are pretty ugly. Weight is sliding and I am having a lot of uncomfortable side effects from it. I want to stop but I can't do it all by myself, but I am hopeful with all that will be involved that I can regain composure again.
I am not just sitting idly and doing nothing, I am trying my best. Thank you to all those who have supported me to get to this point and all those who continue to support me. I could have never made it this far without you.

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...
xoxoxo
I hope everything goes well, keep us posted!!
FUCK DEPRESSION!
I refuse to let depression beat me
I defy that which would kill me slowly
From the ashes I shall rise
to stare the Devil himself in the eyes.
I will no longer be Sorrow's slave
for now is my time to be brave.
Depression will loosen his grip or die
for I REFUSE to just stand by.
I fight now more fierce than ever
I fight for my life back and NEVER
NEVER shall I be ruled again
because this fight I MUST win.
I plan on giving this my all, but I have a lot of doubts.
i know ur trying, and i know things r hard. i also know that maybe part of u doesnt want 2 try, and ur trying 2 put that part back in its place. i think ur doing fab just by admitting things r sliding, and trying.
dont wanna say 2 much here as we r pm'ing anway.
love u very muchly
here whenever u need me
