Welcome to Psych Central . I am so sorry you are suffering from depression. Have you discussed this with your therapist or psychiatrist. Sometimes the meds need to be adjusted to restore a sense of balance.

Another thing to do is start to try new things that can help your energy level and create a new interest in life. Yoga, mindfulness practice, exercise or walking, painting pictures or drawing, doing poetry or writing. Why not try some creative expression that is waiting to express itself through you?

Many people who are actively involved in Psych Central find it helps take them out of their own problems to develop empathy for others. And their problems though still there are more manageable.

The depression chat meets every Thursday night at 9PM EST.

There are lots of compassionate people here that can make the load lighter by sharing and caring. Feel free to participate actively at Psych Central.

Some people find the forums give them the compassion and empathy they seek. http://forums.psychcentral.com

Hey Penguin

Your mind can choose to be free from negativity. I just think the mind is that powerful. If it has the power to start depression, it can also have the power to give you the opposite.

You can find all the motivation you need "Motivate yourself," they say (or something to that effect). The whole world can never motivate you, if you don't do it yourself--and this is by choice.

You're on this forum. This is definitely one good place for motivation.

I hope you're alright. Hang in there.
