Karinna, What a lovely name. You have been through so much. I admire your courage. If it wasn't for God I don't think I would be able to get out of bed every day. He has been my mainstay, what has kept me going these many years. Without Him I am nothing. I realize I have so much to be thankful for, there are many, many people worse off than I am. There are just times I feel defeated and It's hard to fight it off.

heartsonfire, I am so sorry for your troubles, but thankful that you do not suffer from chronic depression I suppose most everyone has some depression in their lives, but when it becomes an all consuming way of life it is a nightmare I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. God bless you.

heartonfire, i hope you reach your goal, its nice to see when ppl are willing to do what they can to help others, the woman i see i absolutly love her, she doesnt judge and she listens she doesnt try to tell me that i can get over it or deal with it she realy does help and just having someone to talk to is such a relief. depression is very painfull for alot of ppl. i think that with the help of loved ones it will pass its something i think almost every one goes through well excpet tom cruse ofcourse, anyway i think we all feel down at times. with the right encouragment and help you can feel better. i dont even want to think of what my life would be if i didnt have my 2 angels :-)

I've suffered from depression for many years. Although my mother continues to reject my problems as only imagination, I know that they are very real. I've been hospitalized twice for depressive episodes and had my medication changed several times over the years until I finally found the right one. You need to have professional help. There's no way to beat this thing on your own. No one knows what causes this condition in the first place, but it is severe and never goes away. My depression is under control, but I still have weak periods when I am under a lot of stress.

i also deal with depression as well as anxity disorder and post traumatic disorder. i was married at 18, with him since i was 16 and it was a pretty bad marriage. i was beat, stabbed 3 times and had shotgun held to my face so many times ive lost count. i now am remarried to a great guy i meet on the internet and have my daughter i was never supose to have, but i still deal with so much, along with the bad marriage i was rapped twice by ppl i didnt know when i was 14 after leaving sunday services, needless to say i have not been back to church except to have my daughter baptised. i wake in the middle of the night in pain (ghost pain) is what the doc calls it but i feel even 12 ywaers later whats like a knife going into my stomach i waske with the pain of being punched kicked and choked. ive tried to let go but its so hard because after all of the pain and hate its still inside me. i do write and do talk to ppl with similar problems and i look to my beutiful daughter and i know that life is ok. i have learned to meditate and when the feelings come like the visuale, i sometimes when sitting start to think of the past and get visiuals i try to think of a stop sighn and some times itr does help. i know its hard i have alot of ppl who love and care but its apart of who i am, try to keep God in your heart and think of what is infront of you, thats what i try to do.

You are all so kind and understanding. It helps me just knowing you are here. Even though I might not comment at the time I read and appreciate each and every response. I've been a little better since my husband retired and he makes me get out of the house some. For sure getting out does help my spirits, I just plain don't want to get out of my PJ's and get out most of the time,I would rather sit in my recliner. Over the years most of my friends, and even most relatives, have pulled away, because they just don't understand why I just can't pull myself up by my boot straps and pick up my life where if left off. They quit calling and quit asking a long time ago. That has just added to the depression. I have asked God to help me accept the things I can not change, but to help me change the things I can, that is my prayer...God bless all of you
