What to do when you are just too exhausted to keep fighting depression? |
I have now had depression for 6 months and didnt realise for the first 2, i have since been on meds and seeing a counsellor but neither of them are helping, i am completely unhappy with my life since returning from UK i have somehow ended up back in th esmall town adn working for my dad which was never my intention and was jsut meant to be temporary until i was 'well' enough to leave again. However time keeps going on and i am not getting any better and now i have just given up trying to change anything as all my attempts fail anyway, i am resigning to staying working for my dad for the rest of the year even though i hate it and lying on my bed on the weekends,,,,,,,at first i was positive and doing exercise, trying to eat, looking for new jobs looking for somewhre to live, etc etc but it has now been 6 months and nothing has changed and i am no better and i'm too exhuasted to keep trying, i hate the person i have become but can no longer see myself getting back to who i used to be, It is getting worse for you because your going to have to get out of that situation in order to feel better. The job for starters sounds like it is bringing you completely down. Maybe that is something you could focus on and find a better job for you. I think you need to do things for you that make you happy, not for everybody else. Stay in counseling and on medication. You got to start being honest with yourself. You have gone to the Dr. and counselling, but have to been to a psychiatrist? They know how to help you deal with such problems. Please take care of yourself okay? all the best to you. (hugs) Hey go to a health food store and get 5-HTP it works soooooo good start on 50 millagrams for like 1 week move up to 100 for a week then 150 for a week and keep going up 50 millagrams per week till you reach 350. But keep it up and be consistant , I haven't missed a day in 2 yrs because I love it so much AND its narural and non-habitforming...but read up on it and try it for yourself cause it's worth it Sweetheart please dont do anything brash. It's a good thing to be around family sometimes and sometimes it can be a real strain! Do me a favour - call SANE 1800 18 7269 They can help you I promise. If i could reach out and give you a hug and a new lease of life I would. But I cant, I'm a nameless person on the other end of a computer. My mother and brother both suffer from depression and I cant imagine what their life is really like - I can only see from a family members point of veiw that they feel pain and distressed at times and they call SANE to help them through it. Please, please call them xxxooo I feel the same way. Exercising wakes me up and gets me motivated. please see a psychiatrist and possibly get some medication. i completely understand you and what you are going through. it took until i found the right m.d. who would work with me until we found the correct combination of medication. now i am glad to say life is not always easy but the light at the end of the tunnel is bright and i don't mind waking up in the morning. Talk to your counselor about upping or changing your meds. Start exercising again. Get fresh air and sunshine whenever you can. And don't give up. I've had to fight this fight for many, many years. It comes and goes. I know that no matter how bad it gets, it will eventually get better. Also, I figured out after a few years that alcohol and pot just made thing worse. After I stopped using, things never got horribly bad again. Remember: It's always darkest right before it gets light. |
