Hi everyone,

How are you today?

Depression is a condition that can seriously affect a person’s mood and morale, and can have a huge impact on daily life. It can make simple things like getting out of bed, completing daily tasks, or socializing difficult.

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!

Have you seen our new survey looking to assess symptoms and impacts on the daily lives of patients affected by depression?

You can check it out here: Survey: Impact of Depression on Everyday Life.

Don’t hesitate to participate, sharing your opinion can help us improve other patients’ care!

Take care,

Lizzi

HI
My depression makes it almost impossible for me to do normal things, get gas, go grocery shopping. I also have Lupus, but honestly its the depression that I struggle with the most. I often spiral, my thoughts lead from one to another but none of them are good. The meds my doctor has put me on help, but depression really is crippling, people just dont understand. If this survey will help people know more about depression and how impossible it is, I'll fill it out.

Hi @jasmine1092

Thank you for sharing. Many with depression face the same spiraling negative thoughts, it is so hard to escape. We can only hope that by sharing our experiences and with a little empathy, others can start to understand what it is like.

We have a few other Carenity members that suffer from Lupus and depression as well, I will tag them to to connect you all and so you can share with one another. @Danilola @BettyBorsukoff @Stepb1 @Heyzil @Shielab26 @Yayaya @heathermaupin0 @Skprine @depressedme @TSpence @jasmine1092

Take care everyone,

Lizzi

Depression really hurts my day to day. for sure. Some days I cannot get up and out. It can go on for several days even. A spiral of doom.

I'll do the survey, if it helps people learn how hard it is to live with depression, its not the same as being sad!
