I think my depression started about 2 years ago. It has slowly taken me hostage with its symptoms. There was a time when i just wanted to lay in bed i liked being asleep more than being awake.I had times when i would just didnt fully enjoy days i still have that know...I think it was because i hated the feeling of doing the same exact things over and over. Nothing ever changed for me I cleaned up the same messes, cooked, did the laundry only to get up doing the same thing and it wasnt just that i had fallen out of love with my kids dad and hitting rough patches along the way.The problem with me is that i dont believe in a pill to make me happy so i wanted to see if anyone has this problem and wants to talk about it??

I am somehow in the same situation, in January I was discovered with multiple cervical hernia, then in May I was discovered with diabet, a month ago I lost my job, probably I have too many reasons to be depressed. Life is not easy and offers us day after day the same things, work, home, sleep, so maybe a change in your lifestyle is the solution (for me too). Is not easy to change something in life, a little change could change in fact everything. Anyway pills are not a solution, you must fight with you and find the way to get out from this situation. Success and try to think positive !

Hi, Dani Depression is definitely a real health issue, and sometimes is caused by lack of seritonin in your brain. Seritonin is the "happy chems" that helps with the moods. I myself take medication and it helped me a lot. Another thing I do that helps alleviate depression is regular exercise and a healthier diet. Sometimes therapy is really good, providing if you get someone who knows what he's doing. Sunlight/vitamin D is also good for emotional health. In the winter time, it's good to invest in a sun lamp, which provides the natural vitamin D if you find it hard to get out. There's even portable ones out there, as well. Talking things out is really good. The last thing you want to do is to bottle it all up inside, because it'll only make the depression worse. Becoming self-aware is a good step to take in recovery. Life isn't easy, I know, I'm going through the same thing myself. It'll require more work than someone who doesn't have the issue that we have, but I guess my way of thinking, if my health is worth fighting for, then I'm going to fight for it. All the best, feel free to contact me any time if you need to talk.

Hi Dani, I do agree with you pills is not a option at all for the depression. There is one therapy called aromatherapy. you can try this therapy. my company Tathaastu [Tatha...Nature's Blessings] is a company based on aromatherapy products. you can try Mood Uplifting/ Happy & Peace Aroma Oil to burn in diffuser lamp at your work place or at your home. Or you can use these blends in your hanky and you can inhale that blend for 5 minits daily. you can also put few drops of these blends over the pillow before sleep. It will work over night. Aromatherapy is the best solution as it comes to the depression. best of luck tathaastu.co.in you can buy online. anjali@tathaastu.co.in please drop me the mail if any query.

hmmmm...have you ever done anything for this depression? did you try to know why it happens? did you seek help? maybe you dont need a pill but only a counselling?

OH wow, you seriously sound just like me! The same routine over and over every day, and i have been suffering since my daughter was born, and she is now 5. I have become very distant to my husband, and i can't even really explain why. I didn't want to take any meds for it for the longest time, and i have tried a few different ones recently, because it's getting to the point of my husband not understanding what's going on with me, and he's ready to leave. Not exactly what i am wanting to happen, but i just have not found a good fix for this yet. I totally know what you are going thru.

hey, I am not so familiar with your problem, but I just suggest to you to not think much about your problem because it can make your blood pressure rises. you should do things that can make you entertained and forget about the problem you experienced.
