How do u keep from giving up on finding a partner, when everything they do can be misconstrued as rejection...?
Myself and my fiance have been together for almost 10 years now and he's wonderful as he will chase up my medication for me if I've already tried to myself and gotten nowhere or if he sees that I'm… read more
My depression comes in waves and so does anxiety. I used to work out all the time and easy healthy all the time, but as I got older my depression and anxiety got worse. It's like "one week on, one week off" when it comes to exercising and eating right.
How do some of you keep motivated through depression to do some daily exercise?
I keep a record of daily work outs and reps. Helps me see the days I did not and makes me feel good on the days I do. This self evaluation is great in motivating me to be consistent.

I’m curious if people think clinical depression is completely a medical issue or to some extent demonic oppression?
Very interesting question. Not so much Demonic but definitely negative energy.
My doctor s and other people says exercise helps with depression... I want too but I am always tired... I do work 40 hrs... But right after I go straight to bed... On my days off I sleep all day... Really frustrating to me... Too a point why Im I a life when all I do is sleep.
No. Psychiatrist has me on Risperdal
Afraid of getting my hopes up and afraid of taking unnecessary risks if Depressive episode is in fact over.
I don’t mean to be rude, but if we knew that we wouldn’t be suffering like we do
Have also been having really dark thoughts. There are times during the day when I have to lie down. Instead of things getting better I'm feeling worse. I've been to a psychologist and I have situational depression. I feel trapped & isolated and deeply deeply hurt by some events that happened this year. I've never been like this before. Nothing is helping. I'm starting to give up.
I've had all those symptoms and many of them continue daily. HOWEVER, you cannot diagnose yourself and you can't get medical answers from here. The first and most important thing you need to do is… read more
I know how you feel Michelle. I'm usually broke in less than a week after I get my check and look forward to getting my food assistance on the 11th of every month

So sorry to tell you this but meds are the only things that have kept me alive. My therapist told me at one of my sessions that did I think that my insurance would pay for me to go to her if it wasn’t… read more
