Depression Community - How do you actually feel today?
Hi
I'm kinda new here, was just trying to reach somebody to ask if this is aceptable , normal or I'm being irritable with this matter. Yesterday I was thinking on a way to feel befree and decided try to reach for professional and I mentioned to my boyfriend. he told me basically to get my shit together and not waste time on psychologists that I can help myself just by not feeling bad. Does anyone has had somebody tell them this?
@Luisameviam My husband has the same attitude. I wish I had some wisdom to give you but I am completely baffled by his point of view. If your car breaks, you find a mechanic. If your pipes break, you find a plumber. If your bones break, you find a doctor. So shouldn't you find a professional if your mind breaks?
That being said, I've used professionals (doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, etc.) off and on for over 20 years and have not found help. It's hard to keep fighting, since it seems like depression beats every ally I find. The only thing that has saved me from giving up is knowing that others have been helped by this process. Why not me?
@LadyPirate82 its difficult everyday :-( i think the only relief there is , it's cry until the pain goes for a while. but thank you for your kind words, it helps to know it's not just me.
Not to great I want to cry but I know I need to be strong.
Sad, depressed, etc.
I made my first appointment with a therapist since my abortion a year and a half ago. I think i am ready to get help i cant live with myself like this.
like crap woke up in the hospital alone and i just i don't know everything is crashing down. i don't wanna be alone anymore
Empty, really empty.
I feel not good. My friend is beside me ; she slept over last night worried that I might hurt myself. I know i should be grateful but i just want to be alone.
I wish depression was seen in the same light as cancer. People would rally around you with support and try and help you in any way they can
Eveytime I sigh or take a deep breath I feel a part me drain away. It is like I'm a cup of water with a tiny hole in it. Slowly tiny droplets are leaking out. I try to refill myself, but it is only in vain.
Today has been difficult. My depression has been particularly bad lately despite medication and I am not sure if it is from the amount of stress lately or the grief that surrounds this month. I have been sleeping a lot and much less motivated. I have also been stress eating. I struggle with my weight much more when I am having worse bouts of depression. I don't really know what to do from here.

I'm sorry to hear that things aren't going so great. If you ever want to talk msg me. Stay strong! You don't have to do this alone.
