At a low

Hey all. I'm not sure what to write, but I just feel really depressed. Anxiety and depression come and go for me and today it is here to stay. I just feel really unsatisfied and unfulfilled. I feel like a lot o different things are bothering me at once and I'm just really unhappy. Everything from relationships to school to finances seem to bother me and bring me down in the dumps. I was seeing a therapist, but I had so many problems with my health insurance paying for it I stopped going because it was stressing out to much. Now I just feel really lonely. Nothing seems right anymore. I don't look forward to the future. I'm not sure what to do to make me happier.

I'm sorry to hear that. I feel that I'm in the same position. Pretty much all year this year I have been in a funk. It had not happened to me in a few years. I thought it was all over with, but no!

Just last month I felt like I was over it. I felt like my old self again. But this time it did not last long. I'm back to feeling down again. It feels like a lot of doom is coming my way. I practically feel that I'm not at home now. I just hate that feeling.

I know what you mean. I'm hoping when this year is over things will get better. I've had a lot of bad luck this year and so has most people around me. All I can go is hope things will change soon.

Chronic depression seems to be like alcoholism or addictions. Even after you have beaten the major episode, you are always fighting against slipping back into the darkness. Exept for the fact that no one makes a decision to start being depressed, the relapses act the same.

This time of year is really hard. Because the holidays are supposed to be happy times spent with the people we love, the depression sticks out more. I try to stay away from the crowds during the holidays even more than usual because the music and atmosphere is just a reminder of how wrong things feel inside.
