This forum is incredibly helpful. To combat depression, simply schedule a session with a therapist. If the medicine isn't working, consider spravato treatment.

Hi

My name is Lorraine and I understand how you feel.  I also suffer from depression and it is not easy.  I also have OCD as far as things in my life.  I get very anxious when I don't get things on time and that turns into depression which makes me very sick.  When I get like that, all I want to do is sleep and cry.  You are not alone.  Anytime you want to talk, you can reach me at yiddlefeet22@aol.com.  I may not get back to you the same day, but I will  e-mail you in a day or two  because I too need someone to talk to.

Ajelli.  Hello.  I am so sorry that you have been dealing with depression for so long.  Unfortunately, I can associate/relate.  I've been dealing with it since 2000.  My husband was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) at that time.  I then began to take full-time care of him, as he was physically disabled.  Then he passed away almost 6 years ago, and I am still reeling from that.  I feel that I will never get any better.  As I have only gone down hill in the depression since my husband's physical body became worse over time; the last year of his life he was not able to DO anything for himself.  his mind was there 100%, but his body was worth nothing.  That is the way that ALS does, it takes away the use of the body (in every way possible) but leaves the mind completely in tact.  The after he passed away, I was happy that he was no longer in severe pain & suffering, but my already bad depression just got worse.  People keep telling me that it will get better, but it's been just shy of 6 long years.  I wake up in the morning after a very horrible night of trying to sleep, and I have no  energy. 
Don't even want to get up and get dressed, much less do anything else.  Everything that I use to like, and have no desire to do them or anything else.  Carrying on, like I am supposed to do, has been beyond impossible.

I am bipolar and have anxiety disorder which are both hard to deal with. Its like one feeds off the other. I have been in impatient hospital plenty of times. Mostly for suicidal tendencies but also to get my meds straight. I have been dealing with this since I was 7 yrs old and now am 41. There are alot of ups and downs for me even everyday I never know how I'm gonna wake up feeling. Today is a deppresion day and it sucks that it is so close to the holidays. Especially cuz I dpnt wanna ruin them for anyone. Unfourtnatly I like to hold my feelings in until it get so bad I am usually hospitalized. I am a big time isolator which is never a good thing. Well if anyone wants to message and talk I am open to that. I wish you all the best

Shayla, I like your name.  I have dealing with depression since my husband passed away almost 6 years ago.  I have no desire to do anything, and nothing makes me happy anymore.  Not even the things that I use to love to do.  Now my favorite activity is to curl up or lay on the couch and watch
TV.  I do force myself to do things that need to be done, but it's not because I want to.  I am sick of not wanting to do anything and not being happy.  But have no idea of what to do to change that.  Lots of peole tell me to just fake it till I make it.  But it's been almost 6 years now and I still feel no better.  Unless a miracle comes along, I don't see anything changing for the better.  I've been on antidepressants, but none have helped much-if at all.  For me, I have days that are OK (not good but ok) days that are bad and terrible days.  In the past 6  years I can count on 1 hand the number of good or great days that I have had.

I hurt all the time. The pain won't go away. I do everything I can to overcome it, but my heart hurts constantly. Everyone always says "it will be ok" but each time I get up, brush myself off and start over, it all falls apart after a couple of years and I end up right back where I started. I am so tired of hurting all the time.
