Not Again

Thats truely sad. Maybe you haven't found the right psychiatrist. Do you take meds? Depression usually has relapses. Is there anyone else you feel comfortable seeking help from? A doctor, or crisis center? Do you have anywhere local you can check into for evaluation? I hope you find something to brighten yourself up a bit. I know its hard, but there is hope. Just keep reaching.

Hey blackkatdreamer ! sounds like you've had a bit of a rough ride! I'm not going to try and get you to think of happy memories, events etc because it sounds like your that far down your underwater! Just try to remember that the ability to endure, survive and conquer is a strong one and if your still here then your a survivor! I dont mean to sound glib or patronising but you'll only move on when you stop being comfortable in your discomfort. I've struggled/battled/been pu##ywhipped by my own depression enough times, I've tried to accept the fact that I move through 'phases' which are dependant on my physical health, my diet, my surroundings to name a few. Recognising this has took the edge off the 'rollercoaster effect' you know, up down,go really high up then plummet with gut churning frequency!!Another thing I try to do when I'm low is watch something extremely funny (Family Guy, Simpsons, South Park etc) it works most of the time . hope you feel a little better soon

I have been feeling the same way you do for a few weeks now,I was ok for almost 6 years and then bam I'm back to wanting to cut myself. That's what I do,I'm a cutter not proud of it but I want to be truthful. They only thing I could suggest to do is talk to people who will listen,be it friends,family,God or even here on mylot. I hope you can get through this. Alot of people don't understand what it's like to live like this,but for the ones of us that do we would be happy to listen and help you anyway we can. Hang in there,stay strong.

Please don't be so negative about it. Understand that you remain depressed when you subconsiously enjoy being in a help-less state. Try to maintain a list of things which depress you - or the things which you feel are hopeless, and see what action you can take to make things better. Don't worry about the outcome, just DO. Secondly, start helping others. Join some charity organisation, and try helping out on weekends for free. Just see how much this helps you, and you'll be shocked. I suggest getting attached to an orphanage if possible. You'll see how much misery is there in the world, and how much better off you really are. You don't need a psychologist or a psychiatrist - you can do this on your own. Come on, buck up and take charge of your life!!

I don't know your life style. Also don't know how it is screwed up. But my earnest advice to you to do meditation, which build up your mental strength day by day to overcome your any problem. sumitbc

I know what you're going through and so do millions of other people out there. Unfortunately depression is an unpredictable illness and can come and go like the wind. If professional help isn't for you, than you should consider a friend who you can trust and is a good listener. I know that at times it can feel like you'll never get through it, but you have to try your best to change that attitude and actually believe, otherwise things can be worse than they have to be. I wish you well during this time, remember you're not alone.

Well I've sat here contemplating for a half hour now. I really can't think of anything to say that could help. I know how bad depression can be. I was basically hitting bottom in Jauary and am barly making it through the week now. I take 2 steps forward and one and a half backward. Just try to hang in there...I know it sounds corny but I always try to think it can't get too much worse so it has to get better. I don't know if there are programs for free medications in Canada. I know there are in the US. At least meds would help. I know what you mean about psychiatrists. I worked with many when I was working.... I was a manager of a group home so I don't trust them because of many reasons. I won't even go to one...which is half my problem. I take effexor but it barely gets me through the day. My doctor won't increase it he said I have to see a psychiatrist and let him perscribe. He also thinks I have PTSD from my ordeal with Flesh Eating Bacteria. Any way, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I do hope you find a way to go on...it's a really sad way to feel. I do feel your pain and wish I could help. Mari

the trick is to keep breathing...

Hey I heard laughter helps. I know it may not be the cure all or answer you seek but it does help. Have a movie or t.v marathon of all you favorute funny movies. Or ask around for suggestions on funny things to watch. Laughter is hard to find during dark times but it does bring in some light.
