@A MyDepressionTeam Member I don't have a family member right now but I have in the past. If you get in touch with the American Cancer Society www.cancer.org they have a hotline you can call to talk… read more
I am not yet eligible for retirement with full benefits and have to work, but I have no "free" time (this time I post while waiting to see if I have to accompany a family member to the emergency room—now becoming a daily occurrence) and am simply a bundle of nerves. I am taking care of my blood pressure and have asked for help from friends, which my family will not accept because they are "strong."
Go ahead and accept the fact that you got the shit end of the deal. Not a whole lot you can solve with this unless you are able to provide in-home care.
I don't have an appt. coming up soon, but I'm counting the hours until he's back in the office. I'd feel more secure knowing he's back in town.
My doc is barely present while in town, so him being out of town is not consequential
... I believe a lot of mental health disorders we have are the result of being raised in dysfunctional families. Of my small family nucleus, both my mom (died in 2012), and my 2 half-sisters are abusive. It it just dawned on me that at least a few of them are narcissists (Google it if you don't know what that is)... it was a HUMONGOUS revelation on my part...so I have nothing to do with any of them now, hence, 1 reason why I'm alone. My mother was an alcoholic until the day she died, too. The… read more

Her videos are compelling to watch she taught me so much
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 have been on birthcontrol for many years due to irregularity of my cycle. However, for the past two months I have gone off the birthcontrol and I am getting accustomed to the natural rhythm of my body again. Regardless of the fluoxitine I take, my pms symptoms have flared up so badly this month, mood swings, cravings, pain, sadness... my question is, if I am on antidepressants and antianxiety medication, how can the mental and psychological symptoms of pms still hit me so hard? Is… read more
@A MyDepressionTeam Member maybe don't be judgemental? Do we not have enough to deal with without casting judgements of each other? Block me dear.
Do your family members know about your depression, and are they supportive?
Do you find that you have to hide your status in fear of being labelled a "crazy person?"
Some things just shouldn’t be in the light some can’t handle it
About 5 years ago I lost someone I truly loved. He meant the world to me. He was my neighborhood crush I always had, that I could never get over. In the beginning of that school year we were the best of friends. I remember how we use to walk home from school together every single day. He use to tease me all the time. I remember how we use to laugh and make jokes. I really loved him. We were about to make it official until...

Family can sometimes be the worst people to open up to when they should be the most supportive. It took me about 12 years to open up to my parents, my mum can be pretty judgemental which even took me… 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.
