Hi everyone,

How are you today? emoticon cute

I thought I'd open this discussion to talk about depression in the day-to-day.

Depression can sometimes make it hard to get out of bed, to complete daily tasks, or socialize with others.

What about you? How does your depression impact you in the day-to-day? What do you do to fight it?

Feel free to share any experiences, tips, or advice with us here!

Also, if you haven't already seen it, we also have an ongoing survey on this topic, assessing symptoms and impacts on the everyday life of patients affected by depression. You can check it out here: Survey: Impact of Depression on Everyday Life

Take care,
Courtney

For me depression affects everything. Sometimes it keeps me up at night so I don't sleep and then because of that it zaps my motivation and energy and just makes me want to stay in bed and sleep. And then sometimes it takes away any interest in food or nourishing myself when other times I just want to eat until I don't feel anymore. I never really know how it's going to go. It makes me hate myself sometimes.

I’m glad I’m not alone. But for me it just seems like I’ve given up on everything. I just want to sleep all day or do absolutely nothing. But I know I have work. And I know I have responsibilities. But I need that extra motivation. Because personally I don’t care. I’m just messing up. But I’ve been struggling with self harm and depression for almost 10 years now. And I don’t do the self harm anymore. Because once again. I don’t care anymore. I feel like the world is against me. I have to fight every single day to wake up, go to work, and get other things done. I don’t feel like eating or doing anything. But I have to force it. So although I struggle with these things. I tell myself “I’ve lived through and conquered everything pushed my way. Let’s keep going”.  My thoughts are. Eventually it will get better. You just have to keep struggling until you get there
