I think it has finally hit me. I just been crying a lot. I don't drive because of my pain and medication. I went to the grocery store and grapped the wrong thing three times. Then I had a salad and then found the open dressing in the kitchen cabinet. Then I watch tv and just cry knowing I can't do certain things. Let's not mention not having my own money to do what I want. I wake up not knowing what the day brings for me. I just feel like giving up. Christmas was terrible. Nothing I expected.

Debbie, Your pain and tears are real - so is your support here. Do you live alone? Is there someone - who lives near you - that can spend some time with you? The right person can help to get thru the darkest days? I know it is the weekend but is there a counselor you could call? Wish I were closer. I am sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. Much love, Mary

I am so sorry to hear how you're feeling, but I understand. I've battled depression most of my life. I don't know if you're on an antidepressant or not, but they sure do help me. After a few years on one, I find that I need to change to a different one.

I hope it helps to talk to others here in the forum. It helps me to reach out to someone else. Is there someone you could call and talk to? Sometimes just hearing another person's voice helps me.

Bless you, I'm praying for you today. Continue to reach out here for support. So many of us do experience depression, so we know how it feels.

Thank you for your support. Yes I have a significant other of 24yrs. Only sometimes you can't talk to him. He just doesn't know what to say. My sister and I talk but she lives in Indiana. So having human touch is not there. I just feel like I will never work again. That is so depressing. All my dreams gone.

Debbie, my last day of work was April 1st. It too has been my biggest source of depression. Feeling a bit useless to society. Let's both focus on finding inner reasons that make us feel useful/productive. We are here for you.
