depression really sucks

i have been there more than you know. my health is also going down the drain. got diabetes, getting fatter, have head aches all day and all the rest. i dreaded going to work everyday. doc gave me prozak and after 6 months most of the problems in my head got better. hang in there friend. get yourself to a doctor and get your new life started. it is possible.

it slows down personality growth and speeds up the aging process. really sucks, i know... hope we all feel better soon! i don't know how long i can hold on to that so-called promise of a better tomorrow, though.

I was diagnozed with clinical depression in 2003 and it's been a 5 year battle against it, it didn't help being in an abusive relationship at the time which exacerbated the situation, it was like being on a rollercoaster that I couldn't get off! One day I'd be ok, the next day I would plummet to the black depths of despair, I wanted to go to sleep and never wake up, and when I got up the next morning it was an effort I just wanted to get under the covers. I hated life so much and had no energy, no love for life and couldn't summon up the strength to do anything. I would be moody, snappy, irritable, lethargic and I was at all time low. Winter months were the worst for me because of SAD, winter blues. I am through the worst now but I am still fighting to keep the depression demons from the door.

dear friend , such situations are not uncommon , but the situation you are going through , no two experiences of two different people can ever be the same.some have a better coping mecanism then others and Ifeel you are coping quite fine dont do any thing drastic just hold on, things are bound to get better. you have us as your friends, we care for your well being, whenever you are feeling low just talk to us Im praying your situation improves soon god bless you

yes, it really sucks. at this point of time i am depressed with so many things in life. I think this way of life will kill me. first and foremost the day after tomorrow father's biopsy report is due. I am so much scared and tensed. in the same time office is forcing me to travel to capetown which i am not interested.

i know depression really sucks! but if you want to get out of this depression!! close your eyes!go to flashback and see wonderful moments happened with you! enjoy! live a happy life!

Yeah life can really bring you down, but it can always get better!! Try therapy, it always seems to work for me. I am actually going through some very tough times right now and I know I am going back. It's great to get an outside opinion on things and they can help you find a new perspective on life. Also try to remember to find someone you are comfortable with! Don't be afraid to change doctors. I am going back to my previous therapist because she always treated me with respect and kindness. If you can, try something new to take your mind off things, like a hobby. I like crocheting as a means of relaxing me and I feel so much better when I complete a project because of that sense of accomplishment I get. Even reading a book from your favorite author could bring a smile, and you can try getting a used copy for cheap off amazon! Don't worry, things can always get better!! Please take care
