My 'down' has gone on too long this time. I usually have a rough couple of days, then I'm okay for awhile, but this time I've been down for a couple of weeks without a break. I was pretty scared today because I was on the worst emotional roller coaster. I was very upset for a while, then the next second I'm happy and singing, then I'm down again to the point I could break down into tears. It's gone on all day and I'm going insane. The worst part is that I can't think of a positive reason to 'stick around'. I'm trying my hardest to snap out of it, but I can't. I'm so sick and very tired of trying to battle this and I can't help but wonder if it's even worth it.

This happens to all of us. You are not alone. Not at all. I have the same experiences and it really is frustrating.
Are you seeing a psychiatrist or therapist? Do you take any meds for the depression? Is there something in particular that may be causing your depression to be so much worse right now? Please keep posting.........xoxox pat |

Thanks for the quick reply fayerody. I'm not seeing anyone for my depression or taking any meds, for several reasons, but mostly because I can't spare that kind of money right now. My sister is leaving for a job overseas the day after Christmas and I won't see her for another year and that has crushed me, but I'm happy for her, so I don't think that would have this massive effect on me. I'm sure my low point will eventually pass, but it doesn't seem like any time soon.

My son-in-law just returned from Iraq and he was gone a year. When he was sent over there, I felt like it would be forever. And of course being in danger made us worry about him more. However, the year passed pretty fast and he's back home with us now.
Is there anyone IRL that you can talk to? Gttting some real life feedback would probably help you a lot. Is there someone in your family who would be understanding and supportive? Or a minister? When you can afford it, I do suggest that you see someone as it sounds like an anti-depressant may help you. xoxox pat |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
