Hi all,
Im a bit scared im slipping slowly into another depression. Im sleeping 12-16 hours a day and my eating has dwindled to next to nothing. Im scared to tell anyone because I have been doing so well. I see pdoc monday and im debating telling him!?!?!?!?!?! I'll see him again next month anyway? I dont know what to do...im such a disappointment to those around me i dont want this to add to that.

I have faith that you aren't a disappointment. That's the depression talking. I know that when I'm depressed: I can't do anything right, there's no point talking about what a loser I am, why would anyone care anyway, I'm just a drain, I'm a lost cause and it goes on and on. And it's just the depression talking! None of it is true. Please talk to your doctor and your loved ones. Part of doing really good is recognizing when a bad spell is coming and doing what you can to lessen the blow. I also want to say you should give yourself a pat on the back for being self aware and reaching out for help.

Dos ~ I agree -- Give yourself a pat cause you recognize that you're feeling bad!!! And you should DEFINITELY talk to your doctor about this!!! Don't wait until next month -- what is the use of seeing him if you don't tell him???

And heavens sakes, you are NOT a disappointment to ANYONE! Can you imagine what it would be like for them if you weren't around? It would be AWFUL. You just don't realize how IMPORTANT you are to people!! And you ARE. You are VERY LOVED -- AND VERY IMPORTANT. It's just that people don't tell each other these things often enough. It's a shame too -- we should express our feelings to each other more frequently. We're all guilty of that.

If you can, try to stay up and awake more -- get outside and get some fresh air. Taking a walk can make you feel SO much better -- being outside always make my mood better. When I see the blue skies, and hear the birds singing and feel the breeze -- it just kind of lifts my spirits.

I hope today is a better day for you! You'll be in my prayers. Keep us posted, ok?? God bless & take care, Hugs, Lee

Hey all woke up about 10:28 took my meds and going back to bed. Telling pdoc monday this is rediculous.
