I'm starting to fall into depression again and I can feel it. Don't want to shower, don't care about things or people the way I used to, don't want to eat, starting to SI again....you know...they typical depression signs.
I just want to cry all night long. I don't want my husband to know how bad I am because I don't want him to worry. He tries to "fix" everything, but some things you just can't "fix" and it annoys me.
I can't let on because my 10 year old shouldn't have to deal with my depression so I put on a happy face all the time.
I see my dr. on Monday, but I feel like it is going to be forever until then.
I just don't know what to do until then.....

Thanks SophiaG, but I can't because of all the meds I am on. I asked my doc about that and he said no.

I was feeling ok for a little while and was glad of it then i woke one morning and all the awful feelings came back I could feel for a few day that my depression was comming but I tried to tell myself that it was ok I'd be fine it had been so long since I had good days then I started to feel tense and just bursting into tears now i feel awfull again. I cant seem to stop the tears I am sitting the bus going to work and the tears just come I have to tell myself to stop it its embarrasing as my eyes are swollen its obvious I am crying. Even walking along the road it happens. I just feel so sad,afraid and it pains me.

Can you see your Doc sooner. Monday is a long time to wait. Until then you can post on here. I have a child too. She is very emotional so i try and hide it. I know how you feel. I am sorry you're suffering.

No, I can't get in any sooner because I have other appts. and things going on. It's really hard right now. My husband can tell that it's getting to me. I came home "sick" today. I said I had a stomach ache, but I just wanted to be in bed sleeping and being alone all day, so that's what I did....well, up until I had to take my son to his therapy appt.
Thanks Ayana.....this is really hard to keep a happy face on.

I'm sorry Lilleth. I understand what you are going through. I wish there was something I could say to help you, but I am in a rut myself right now.

Does you Doc accept calls or emails? You do always have PC until then. And don't be afraid to call in sick to work if you can afford it. I always felt guilty for it, but this is a legit reason to miss, take care of yourself

I left work early yesterday and I called out sick today. I feel guilty, but at the same time, I just don't feel like I can function the way I need to. I can only call in 2 days without a docs note and the 3rd day I need a doc note, but I can't get into the doc so I have to go to work tomorrow. SIGH!
I am trying so hard to care about something so that I can try to get out of this rut, but it's really hard. My T said to take a walk, but I don't even want to do that.
