What is the thing that depression effects the most in your life?
I urge everyone to seek help and support. The cycle of depression doesn't give us the energy alone to break it. COunselling and family or peer support is needed to retrain that negative thinking.
My emotions
My grades
@Dinocanid same, my grades are falling apart because I can't concentrate
I would say my grades
My motivation. I have next to none, most days. I struggle to do the simplest tasks and then I beat myself up because this stuff is so basic and necessary yet I can't do it.
My Relationship to other people.
I have no power to meet them and i'm only sleeping the whole day.
Most People don' understand that..
@ShivaNoon I know how you feel... When I wake up feeling awful, or just feel awful at any time during the day, I just want to sleep. I just don't want to feel anything :( I try to sign myself up for social things that I'm expected to be at, because the fear of what will happen if I don't fulfill my commitment is enough to get me out of my apartment. I don't know if that could work for you, but maybe try?
@ShivaNoon Nobody are able to understand what was happening to me...so they took distance...I jump to the conclussion that nobody who have not suffer depression they are able to understand what you are passing through right now
My relationships and my work life.
My attitude
My motivation
My state of mind
I do not have vitality for doing any kind of activity.It is harder to concentrare and I just want to be alone because nobody could understand what depression involves.
Depression affects my life in so many ways and I am not sure if it is just with me or what...First of all, when depression sinks in, I tend to isolate myself from everyone. Everyone meaning my family and friends (internet family and friends included). Then pain starts setting in, my lower back, neck and head starts to hurt first. Then with this pain, I loose my motivation to move; I dont want to get out of bed for anything. My bedroom has a bathroom in it and that's as far as I can make it. When I do move farther and make it downstairs to the kitchen, I will eat something but its the sugary high calorie, high fat, not really good for you foods. I will eat a bulk of it and later feel sick to my stomach and feel fatter than I really am. I will then start berating myself and cry and promise to not do that again, not to get myself into this deep and I fall asleep. Only to wake up 10 minutes later thinking i have been sleeping for hours. Then the whole cycle starts all over again but this time no eating, I just cry instead.
Depression sucks, I hate it. I hate it when it sets in like this, I hate it to have had it in the first place. My psychiatrist has me on a high dose of meds and it works except for times like this when I just want to be away from everyone and everything. My therapist helps but I havent reached out to her in a while (yea maybe its time to go back to her)
So is it just me? Does depression hurt?
@Destiny7575
Depression can be really physically painful for me as well. I've read about (and experienced) many physical side effects such as muscle pain like you described, also stiffness and soreness, headaches, and digestive issues... all of this is also worsened by the fact that depression also likes to mess with a person's sleep cycle. And you're so right... depression DOES suck. Big time!
@creativeCamp2095
Depression sure affect people in a lot of negtive way. But I also think it allows us to face ourselves, and grow stronger.
