My depression is back and getting worse. I have felt like cutting for the past few days and I am sleeping all the time. Sometimes I wish that the depression would just end and I could live a normal life.

I'm sorry you're having such a rough time with things right now. May I ask what meds you are on for your depression and what might trigger the episodes?

Never give up though, know that there are people who care, even if they are many miles away.

Try and distract yourself from cutting...

Hugs,
Stormy

Thanks for your support! I'm on Lamictal, Wellbutrin, Cymbalta and Lexapro. This time it's mostly due to me filing for bankruptcy but it started before the date that I filed.

I can understand the bankruptcy can be a difficult undertaking...but look at it this way, you're far from alone in doing so.

And it's also, when it's final, a new beginning for you, a fresh start...

Celebrate the freedom and new foundation you will have...bankruptcy is a way to recover something we lost control of...it's not the beginning of the end but rather the end of the beginning.

You're in my thoughts and prayers...life gets better the longer you live it.

Hugs,
Stormy

If you're having problems with your depression flaring up again, maybe it's time to see your doctor about getting an adjustment? Take care of yourself and keep us posted on how you're doing.

I agree with the others, definitely call the doc and ask for a med adjustment.

Do you like hugs?

I think we all wish our depression would just end and we could lead a "normal" life. All we seem to be left with is counting good days versus bad days.

As the others suggested talk with your doc. Maybe a temporary adjustment is needed to get you through this bump in the road.

Hello Sista, What's fighting that you're tired of it? Are you frustrated with your fighting? You can't beat yourself up, You're not the only one, I am, too.
I have tried so hard not to fight for no reason. It is just the emotions and confused insde you. That you need to sit down and long thinking and it will help you to write your journal what you haven't notice anything missing about yourself. Just give it time to figure out what you want to beat the depression out of your mind. I would do the same thing. Right now I'm feeling lil better that I can share with you what I'm feeling someting missing inside me that I haven't notice. Because I let myself failure to get the depression inside me. Hope that you will listen to your heart and I need to listen to my heart that need to kick the depression out of me. Hope it helps for you and me. Let's keep in touch! Smile

I know exactly how you feel. I've been feeling down and like cutting a lot too. I'm here if you ever need to talk. I've been battling with my mind for ages. Part of me wants to cut and the other part is telling me to remain strong. You can do it

Hi Jasmine61.
I know how it feels, yet I am not on any medication. I cut myself it doesn't feel good, so please if you want a happy life don't cut!
I am the only one in my family who suffers from depression, and they all don't know. The only person that knows about my depression is my best friend soooo....
All I can say really is don't cut and I am here if you need any more help just reply and I will keep an eye out for any more of your posts!! OK hugs!!

Cullen Girl! xxPhoebexx

You may have to determine a new way to define a normal life. But your life can be good. I really believe that.

Sending hugs & hope they help a little
