Hello everyone
Thank you for being in this forum
The reason why I subscribed today is because I was diagnosed with major depression 3 years ago, and has since been taking an antidepressant. Things have improved, but I keep going into relapses, and right now I feel stressed out do to my new work responsibilities and since last week I've started having many horrible depressive symptoms. To top it off, I am trying to get to know new men in the online world, but a part if me feels guilty because my church wouldn't approve of me dating people who are not part of a church. I wonder if someone can understand my feelings, sadness, anxiety and confusion? I also feel tired of having ti fight this depression. I just wish it would go away!

Welcome to PC! I'm glad you have found this community. Do you have a therapist?

Welcome, sounds like some internal conflicts. I deal with depression as well and find that nurturing my soul is very important. I talk to others and research a great deal of topics online. Do you have any hobbies or interests?

Thank you! No, I used to go to a therapist three years ago. But then I went to a Dr and was referred to a psychiatrist who prescribed an antidepressant. Been taking it for the last 3 years

Thank you for your response LaborIntensive I feel less 'alone' knowing that I am not the only person challenged by depression
I do talk to my family and closest friends only. Because I don't want to be misjudged or label, you know? And I have hobbies, but lately I must say I have neglected myself due to my work and mom responsibilities
