First of all its one little thing, I think spring is the most depressing time of the year for me. I really feel like crashing in Spring Time.
First off the neighbours are incarnate from the devil himself. Secondly no Nip Tuck, no Lost, No Sky. You think these are immaterial and pointleses talking about. Well yes they are when you think of all the suffering loss and death in the world.
Thirdly a young mother and father are struggling to deal with the complications that their new baby has suffered and when I asked for support on another forum I ended up getting my post locked and told not to dwell on the negative but its as if all the odds are stacked against this little boy.
I witnessed a child badly burned arrive in our Accident and Emergency department one November and they had to sedate her and later she died.
I watched a child of a few months old crash, not breathing, no heart beat and I watched the team bring him back to life.
I watched a child with a condition being left to scream in his cot because they thought it was a temper tantrum, when it was a terminal condition, they suddenly because attentive to his needs because they knew he was going to die.
I have seen all this and yet when I asked for support I was denied that support. Is it any wonder I find myself leaving forums because people cannot understand its not negativity. Its not being miserable its caused by depression.
Any way before the tears fall again, and before the psychoanalysts or the wanna be doctors on this site start analysing everything I have said and telling me I need professional help. I am going to close. I am getting professional help but just because you are recieving medication or counselling, you also need to talk out your feelings. That's what my counsellour told me to do, let your feelings out.
Okay here go's one virtual scream SCRRRRRREAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM.

From what I could comprehend from your post- you must work in a hospital? Life is cruel! you must see horrific things! I know how you feel I worked in a retirement home and ended up quiting after my third DNR. It hurts so bad not to have control over life! Maybe if your not tough enough to continue with this emotional termoil you could transfer in to another unit? It is difficult to experience what you've gone through but your not alone!

Oh geez...I am so sorry you feel that way.Do you work in a hospital?..I guess you have a good heart my dear you pity other people and they are touching you with what is happening...Depression comes and goes..I sometimes feel that way..Yes you do need someone to talk to..not medicines...A friend to talk to is what you need..You also need to go out and enjoy life and also to have something to keep you busy and away from thinking about what is happening around you..I wish I was there to give you a pat in the back and tell you everything will be alright..

I would agree that talking about your feelings is the best thing to do. But the only problem I have found is when you do this on a forum you just never know how people are going to respond to you. With what you have explained that you have seen it's no wonder you are feeling the way you feel. Good luck to you I really hope that you get through this depressing time soon. Try to take it one day at a time.

I think you will probably find it is all right to post like this here. At least, the other users I have seen have been helpful and sympathetic. I do wonder if you are in the right line of work, since you are hurting so much in sympathy for these little ones. Bless your heart. I am sorry spring is so hard for you, most people I know have more trouble in winter, or in the very hot summers. At any rate, please know that people here HEAR YOU, and you will probably find them to be very caring. God bless.

I would think you need some kind of counter-measures to balance your life between the kind of work you do and what you do outside of work. Perhaps some form of regular activity you might enjoy. Exercise, reading, music, whatever. My step-daughter passed away at age 5 1/2 and I know some of the pain you might be feeling. I never liked spring very much myself. I don't really know why.

If there is one thing we truly own in this life it is our feelings.
Sometimes life becomes so overwhelming. I live alone so keep most of my thoughts to myself. I believe I am really going to enjoy mylot, as it is a really good way for one to express oneself.
I believe you will come to know who you can and cannot express yourself to without receiving judgment.
I believe God looks after the ones who look after others.
The ones who truly care about their fellow man.
You seem to be one of those people and though it may often feel like it, I don't believe you are on your own. Ever.

Hey letting your feelings out is a good thing and MyLot seems to be a good place to be able to do it :) You sound like you have been going through a really hard time and no wonder you are all in a rut .
I just wanted to say that I hope things start looking up for you soon .

You should go listen to music or move to a new country or take a vacation.

I understand. Sounds like you are under a lot of pressure and just need to tell someone. You've seen some awful things it sounds like. I would like to thank you for sharing your life with us. No one can tell you how much you are suffering. Suffering is unique to the perspective. I am glad you are seeking professional help that is always good and it sounds like you are on medication too. You can still have down days even with help and medication--I do.
Keep your chin up and I hope things get better for you.

Well, sometimes its unavoidable that we feel depressed for the day..but for the health its not a good side, i believe in Meditation which will balance our mind and helps to be normal at situations
