Well the physical symptoms of depression have been around for a few weeks now but alas the abyss of emotional pain has consumed me. I am having to battle hard to survive the negative thoughts. My sunny disposition has turned into the gloom of deep despair. I would like to go to the hospital, for one I don't think my meds are right because they don't seem to be helping me at all and for 2 because I need a break from my life. However it's simply not an option for me. I cannot afford for my animals to go to a care center while I am away. I guess I just have to suffer through this as I always have. Feeling so alone I can't go on though I am not in reality alone. I hate these feelings so much. Anyone have any advice to share as to how they handle these times and manage to muddle through?
