i am really majorly depressed today. Cannot seem to get out of bed. I have been taking my meds like i am suppose to. I cannot even read the selfhelp stuff on here. I am literally laying in bed using my cellphone to send this message out. The only thing i can think of to do is stay on this site today, and if things do not get better in a day or two, go to the va. I think things will never get better.

I'm sorry you are having such a rough time right now... How long have you been taking the meds? I'm wondering if you've been on them long enough for them to be at therapeutic levels... Do you have a pdoc or therapist you can call? Jme, there are times when I feel the same way and nothing I do helps...as long as I'm not suicidal, I try and take it an hour at a time. Meds are of tremendous help, but there are still times when we will weave in and out of sad days. I'm glad you are limiting the time for this to go on...the Va may be able to help. Best wishes, Catherine

thanks! I have been on meds since '91. I am checked every 6 mos. Besides stress over dealing with mr potatoe head and kicking him out monday...and i was happy about that. This depression scares me because it's bad enough for a possible hospitalisation at the va and i do not know what that would be like. Yeah, i am scared for sure.

NF...
Sometimes we do get overwhelmed with a helluva lot of things happening to us/going on in our lives. Recognizing that your are reaching your limit is actually a good thing...you have the chance to stop it before it gets worse. Please try not to be afraid of going inpatient; as far as I know, it's no longer a lengthy stay but more like a stabilization unit. Not exactly a vacation thing, but not long term unless you are a danger to yourself/others. Many times it helps if we can remove ourselves from a crappy place and allow ourselves to rest/talk/sleep. Keep posting, ok? We care about how you are doing... I'm signing off now, but I want you to know I'll be holding you in my thoughts for peace and hope to grow in your heart. Catherine

I have days like that, and sometimes I just stay in bed. Sometimes I am lucky enough to find a frriend to chat with and that really helps. But if you threw mr. potato head out monday, you do have a right to be depressed and mourn the relationship (however sh$$$y, you do have to mourn it, I Know). Please put off the VA, from what I've heard they are really scarey..be Sure before you go. Realize it is normal to have severe depression after ending Any relationship. I cried a lot after throwiung out a husband who beat me regularly. Make sense? yes, and no. your whole life structure has changed. No do be too hard on yourself

thank you so much for kind words of support and caring. I am going to call pdoc tomorrow and see if i can get some counseling to work through this. I also made a plan for tomorrow...social security office, phone calls to make. I made myself go to the foodbank. I feel much better. I think i will even be able to sleep tonight. Do not know if i would have made it through today without all your support, insight and understanding.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
