Hi all~
It's been a while since I've been here last. All's been going very well with me for sometime now and life's been on the uprising. I have no complaints, really, (or, shouldn't have). I've learned how to alter my life to the point where my entire diet has changed to healthy living. Organic and fresh farm produce. I've even gone so far as to change the oils I use to cook with and have added natural herbs and algae to my daily diet to remove toxins and maintain health that way. I've had a recent check up and have received a clean bill of health..lol. Even my relationship with my hub has done a 180. It's great and we're doing alright financially. No real stress there. Sounds like everything is wonderful, right? I would think so, as well, except..I have this HUGE problem with lack of motivation, energy, desire...or whatever. I cannot seem to get myself going, despite what I do. I don't understand it whatsoever. I have absolutely no reason to feel so lifeless, yet I struggle with it on a daily basis. Couple years ago I was dx'd with depression, ptsd and anxiety. Gone through 3 different types of therapy sessions simultaneously and was prescribed 2 different meds to help get me past my hump. I successfully got through all of that and was taken off the meds. Everything was going well after that, which lasted for sometime until these past few months I seemed to have been slowly losing my "Umph" to the point where I am now. Beautiful weather outside. No reason not to be out. I WANT to be out, yet, just can't seem to get myself out there. Lately, I even have difficulty with keeping up with simple chores and daily hygiene. I don't want this happening. Does it sound like I'm slipping back into depression again? If so, why would I be? I admit, that I'm lonely. I haven't anyone with whom I can socialize anymore. It just seems like...I'm TIRED all the time. I just don't understand it. Help? Any suggestions? Thanks~ Shangrala ![]()

Hi Shangrala ~ Whimsygirl is right - depression is sneaky! There are no warning signs, no alarms, no red lights when it's going to hit. Perhaps you're like me and have clinical depression, where your body doesn't produce the needed hormones & "stuff" that are needed to keep us on an even keel, so we need antidepressants. I've been depressed since I was a small child but my parents didn't notice anything as they were too busy getting drunk.
![]() ![]() You might try therapy first and see how that goes. That may relieve your depression. Or ask your therapist if he thinks you might be "clinical." I wish you the very best. I hope you find some answers to your questions. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee ![]() |

You are not prying ![]() ![]() I'm hoping to find some way to get myself motivated to do physical activities again (that I used to do ALL of the time before I first encountered my depression). Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks again for your reply. I greatly appreciate it.

Actually, I was dx'd with clinical depression, but I was not told that I needed to remain on meds. I got a full okay to stop them. That was many months ago. I think what I'll do is go back in and have a check up to see how things are. Quite honestly, having no motivation to do anything really seems to only be compounding and making everything seem far worse than what it is. Thanks again ![]()
