I'm so depressed.
I can't seem to shake it. If it weren't for my mother being alive ...
Possible trigger:
It's hard to "act" all the time... I don't want to depress people, so I act like everything is OK. But, it's really not. I feel as though I am sinking down further and further... I am tired now. |

Thanks everyone. Your support means a lot to me.
I have both endogenous and exogenous depression. I take 3 antidepressants, as my depression is so severe. The last while has been brutal on me... and I don't know how I keep going sometimes. I think I will do the Edgar Cayce (pr. Kay-see) 3-day apple detox fast to see whether I can reduce inflammation in my body. Hopefully, that will help my brain feel better. Just need some organic apples... |

Tumeric can be very effective for inflammation.

I commend you for fighting a good fight. I just wanted you to know I appreciate your presence here, I know I’m not the only one, and I’m sure the people physically around you care too because you are just so kind, caring, and helpful. Your words have certainly helped me through some tough times. Feel better, my friend.

Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
Turmeric is a spice that has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties123. It contains a compound called curcumin, which can reduce inflammation and pain in various disorders23. Curcumin can also inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory compounds and protect the body from free radicals and oxidative stress13. Turmeric may also lower the risk of heart disease by improving the function of blood vessels1. |

Thank you all so much for writing kind words.
Thank you... I wasn't (still am not) well today... mentally, speaking that is... I slept during the day and will go to bed early, so as to forget my troubles... |

Still struggling...
I'm seeing myself through a very dark lens... I feel very guilty like everything is my fault... Yesterday, I had energy, but was stressed and overwhelmed... but kept going... Today, I have been zapped of energy... I feel ill... |

I applaud you for keeping going yesterday. You found some energy and wanted to make the most of it. It's important to celebrate those small victories. Those little sparks flaming some tiny embers. You see - your inner flame has not been extinguushed.
If you could hire someone to help you with straightening up your home a bit, that might help. I did that and was glad I did. My income is small, but getting the help was worth it. My depression was more manageable, after I wasn't in the middle of chaos. I hope you find some way forward. |

@Rose76 - It's so good you had help with cleaning which enabled you to cope better. I've had help come in to lend a hand in the past. Thanks for your message of support.
@16PennyNail - Thank you for your kindness... I know I'm in a very dark spot right now... A lot of my depression is existential in nature... Yesterday, I had my first EMDR therapy session, and it tired me out as it brought up a lot. But, I'm giving it a shot. |
