I've been a member on and off for years. I've read many posts and replied to many more. When I was at my lowest point in depression I remember reading how people were better and to " have faith " and that " it takes time" and thinking: "I will never feel better, they've tried too many meds, etc." But I did get better, and I know you will too now. I believe it. So please people, Do not give up! Keep posting, keep answering, and Thanks to all of you for helping me. There are bad days but there used to be bad months , then weeks, of depression and anxiety. The anti-anxiety meds had a lot to do with my depression, the wrong anti-depressants also contributed .I just want to say thanks to all who keep these posts going. I am only here sparingly but I found help here. Just keep reading, there is so much good advice here!. Hang in there... And Have a beautiful, safe, Loving, Holiday. I hope that you all have someone to spend it with even if it is a pet.

If there are Christmas Miracles or Holiday Miracles, whatever your case may be , then I wish for all of you to feel better and better each day.

Thanks for sharing, crislsoul

Thanks for your words crislsoul. I've been struggling with depression, anxiety and isolation for decades and it's getting worse in my fifties. My creativity has fallen away and I don't want to do anything anymore. I fear my dog is absorbing my mood and is becoming aggressive toward other dogs. I got angry at him for that today and he sulked. I felt even worse and I've been crying all day. My last 2 dogs were dog-aggressive. I think I'm too screwed up to be a good dog owner. Dogs are sensitive. I feel toxic to any beings around me. This is probably the wrong forum for this, sorry.
