When I’m in full depression, I can’t eat. If I do I get physical ill. It usually takes about 2-3 days before I eat again.
I just got recent diagnose from actual psychiatrist and not just a therapist with major depressive disorder - severe, and generalized anxiety disorder. I still see my therapist even though my psychiatrist diagnose me. But, therapist tell me to call 988 if I ever feel suicidal and I feel I need to act on it. If I do that, what happens if they can't calm me down? I'm guessing they don't give me permission to do it, but do they call the police? If they call the police, what do they do?
Granny, thanks for your advice. Thankfully I have close to 100 hours of PTO stored up.
Hard to describe this but I mean like does anyone feel numb at times but just carries on with daily life. Like as if you don't want to do anything. You feel nothing but no point explaining to anyone knowing they won't understand as they haven't been through depression and that?
From my experience though, all feelings change. The same one might come back time and time again, but it doesn't stay constant forever! It just feels like it is that way! I look at the tough feelings… read more
I think you have a point being depressed can be a habit it takes work to change our mindset. For years I thought that's just the way I am but changing the way I look at things has a huge effect… read more

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), getting regular physical activity can make you less likely to develop depression. Exercising three to five times weekly for 30 to 60 minutes can provide mental health benefits because exercise is a good way to get "out of your head" and focus on moment-to-moment sensations, such as your breathing and movements?
Exercise helps me so much!!
Lately it seems like I get more depressed in the evening. I may be having a good day all day then when the day is done it seems like depression comes creeping up on me seemingly for no reason. I was just wondering if anybody else has that problem.
It happens to me that way alot too
I have lost my desire to live. I'm not suicidal, but thoughts of my death sits on my mind like a jack in the box waiting to spring into action
I am unemployed and with financial struggles, feel the pressure of getting a job overwhelming. i feel like I'm not able to commit to anything because I will fail. My depression takes over, my body hurts and I'm not able to get out of bed. I would just end up losing whatever job I manage to get

Thank you Adriana. You are so right! We are not a mental illness.
When they say they've tried 12 times and they aren't much older than that in years it's just weird. Don't get me wrong, suicide is awful and tragic but some people trivialize it by saying things like that. I'm sorry if I offended anyone in advance because I know I have.
Very few people actually want to die. They just cannot continue living the way they have. I guess they see no other alternatives. There are alternatives, though. I have often thought about the therapy… read more
