I have been reading through a few threads and I feel that you are all so encouraging to each other. I hope that you can all help me, maybee give me a few tips even.
Well I have been depressed for about 10 years on and off. January hit me really hard and I just dont know why. I am currently taking 20mg of prozac and am due my first counselling appointment on Tuesday, unsure of what to expect. I also suffer from anxiety (self-diagnosed), this makes my depression feel ten times worse.
I was feeling okay for a while but this last week has put me back to square one and I cant find any reason why. Just want to cry all the time,so down, feel so alone-even though i have family all around. I really hate this feeling, it seems that I am destined to feel like this forever.
I have got over this before but this time it feels so much worse.
Please tell me there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it wont last forever.
I am married with 3 children ages 18, 16 and 11. They all know I suffer with depresion but i try to keep it low key as not to worry them,I think it may be too much for them.
Anyway i just needed to get this off my chest. Just want to feel my old self again but this horrible illness wont let me.
Anybody got any good tips on how to cope with bad days?
