Well, my depression has continued to slide downhill this week. I saw my doctor yesterday, and she got me in to a partial hospitalization program which will start tomorrow. It's a good program... but I'm feeling rather humiliated that this will be the 3rd time I've done the partial hospitalization program in the last 18 months! I'm also feeling embarrased about asking for a medical leave from work AGAIN. At least I have good health insurance that will pay for this stuff... I'm grateful for that much. (Assuming that I don't get fired).
I started a twice a month depression therapy group this week... it seems like that will be helpful. My doctor is also changing my antidepressant (from Zoloft to a tricyclic). As humiliated and awful as I've been feeling, I think I'm getting back just a glimmer of hope. The partial hospital has gotten me out of a bad depression twice before. Maybe it will work again. As I've been feeling completely hopeless, having a teensy, tiny bit of hope that I'll get through this is worth something, I suppose. |

Hi Garden Gal, i can totally relate to what u r going thru as I was depressed myself for the past couple of weeks but, fortunately I feel so good rite now. Maybe if you talk about whats making u depressed or triggered it off will help u get over it. Also, if u try to maintain a busy schedule. I started to excercise last week and also went to talk to a therapist, after i wz done talking, it felt as if though i took off a thousand pounds off my shoulder. Also, posting ur feelings on this site will help to for u will know that you are not alone and that there are tons of us that share the same feeling but we are here to help boost each others self esteem. You are a beautiful person, u deserve to b happy and u make the world a btr place. HAng in there girlfriend, it shall all come to pass

Garden Gal,
Don't feel guilty about it. If we could help being depressed, i think that most of us wouldn't suffer from it. I hope the program helps again.
