It affects my energy levels and motivation. Makes it very difficult for me to push myself to get things done.

I used to be a really happy and bouncy person and in the last few years it dulled, slowly enough that i didn't notice it at first. Every time my mum brings up the fact that she wants her happy daughter back, i feel horrible, as if i am letting her down, and not i think its ruining our relationship.

Depression is affecting my focus on college so I am not doing as well and I am not studying at all for the exam that will make or break my future.

@purpleMap5053 I am going through the same thing. The only difference is, I had to drop out. Too much stress and too much work when working two different jobs trying to make it financially.

@kayyybug I'm sorry that sucks. I hope it gets better for you though. I just failed another exam and will probably end up failing the course.

Depression is affecting my 4 year relationship.

Definitely my energy. It affects most aspects of my life, of course. With the help of a relatively high dose of andtidepressants, I've finally gotten to the point where I'm not suicidal! If given the choice between living and dying, I'd probably choose living, which is certainly an accomplishment. While I'm not happy, I'm not as hopelessly sad. However, the constant exhaustion hasn't been helped much by the meds. They make me functioning, but still with a constant fatigue that can't be helped by sleep. I can easily sleep fourteen hours on the weekend and still wake up feeling like I'd like to take a nap. I can usually get through the day, but I doubt I could do something like play a sport.

@Xgirl

You own your life. The fight is worth it. Depression can be overcome and managed and I promise you that you can take back control of your life if you really want.

It's been a long time for me but I made it. I needed to keep asking for help and support from people but now I choose - not depression chooses.

Hugs and best of luck with your battle.

@JK17 ; I know that it's possible to win the battle it's just that the fight is so hard, especialy when you don't know what you're supposed to do and how to deal with all of what's you going through, i hope that i could make it at the end and start to live and don't waste what remains in my life.

Thank you very much, for taking a time to write all of this, you're so kind, i appreciate it so much.

I wish you all the best wishes and happyness. heart
