I've tried everything I know to pull myself up out of the depths of this depression and I'm still failing.
I realize antidepressants take time to work but this is rediculous!!!
Through the years I've worked with many people who suffer from mental illnesses and I must admit I have never truly known the depths of their dispair until now!
I think I've finally reached rock bottom and through all of my experiences I've absolutely no idea of how to help myself up out of this pit I am in.
I am still seeing the doctors who are monitoring my medications. However, I have yet to allow myself to enter into therapy. I have however, commited myself to attempting to build a new support system and I guess that's why I am here today.
I've suffered from depression throughout my life, yet I have never experienced this type of life altering dispair. My dr says I'm experiencing 'burn out' and need to allow myself time to heal. He is also concerned that I present with a severe case of PTSD that has been left unaddressed until now.
So, there is just a piece of my story. Maybe some how, someway I can regain enough confidence to share it in it's entirety.
Until then, does anyone have any suggestions on day to day coping with the feelings of being a failure...Thanks!...Alonian <font color="#000088"> </font>
