hi - I feel totally unmotivated, isolated, overwhelmed, sad and hurt. I feel today is another day to struggle through. Dealing with the disease of depression takes a lot of energy and strength and today I just don't have it in me. I hate this disease! I want to find my way to peace - how do I get there from here?

me too! me too!

I'm sick and tired of being sick.

I DON'T know how to come out...

me three....my family aren't as supportive as time goes by.....I dont call being beate down in front of friends supportive...last night my best friend IRL had to tell them to give me a break.....anxiety has returned, I stayed in bed all day to avoid them today......now they went out so I'm up and about.....I hate this...hugs to you my friends....if only magic wands existed

Frogs of little brain are not known for their sage advice. I can't provide you with the answers.

As long as you have that desire to get better, as long as there is that glimmer of hope then you will seek the answer. That is a good thing.

Now for the sage advice.....
"Do something every day to make you happy."

hi starfish.. you certainly have that right that depression is an energy vampire!!!

as for part two of your question... for me, it is all a matter of faith and there is no way to answer the questin without being spiritual... are you prepared for that answer? its what works for me... others will have their own remedies just as valid...

for me, i needed something larger than myself which i have found and it has changed my life dramatically... i still get down, look around, is there a shortage of depressive topics?

but now i know what i can do, and beginning to do those things has created its own energy.. so much that i forget good self-care because i'm going and going all the time... there is a lot to be done!

so, i still need to remind myself to rest, eat, play, work, etc... things we did back on the farm!
