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.
Today has been one of the hardest days of the month. I have been having anexity attacks off and on the lead to a depression state but this one has lasted the longest. I long for a straight commitment, to feel like the person I am with wants more than he has said. I see other couples holding hands, kissing, and happily doing things together, rather in real life or movies and my heart aches. I see kids or hear a baby cry and my heart breaks. I want to be whole, be a mom, be loved.
Last night I couldnt sleep so I went to Canada to the casino to try my luck. There I saw a man and woman going up the escalator happily to their hotel room. I wanted so bad for that to be me, to see the man I would be with smile in my direction, place his arm lovingly around my waist and bend down to kiss me.
When will I ever feel normal, like I have a purpose in life and get over this depression?
Based on some assumptions, you will when you get a complete evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment plan. There may be causes that you might not even think of. They may be hormonal, or environmental or ??? The depressed cannot figure these things out by themselves. Get a (recent) check up and evaluation for your entire mental state ... and get on an effective treatment plan.
