Depression-In the Mind or Bleak Reality

by nell18-3Comment Published at 14:2214:224 comments4 comments86 Visits86 VisitsReport
I have just noticed that I can have an absolutely excellent day with everything going well, when all of a sudden its like being slammed in the face with this terrible feeling of gloom and that nothing is ever going to be right again. This weekend was terrible and I am so annoyed that instead of fighting it I once again succombed to hiding under the duvet and crying and feeling sorry for myself!!
I feel so stupid again now. I want to beat depression yet I still keep giving into it!
I can't even prepare myself, it doesn't even creep up its just WHAM there it is again.
It is such a terrible terrible thing, I used to keep thinking it was all in peoples heads and they should get a life! Well now I know, i have first hand knowledge and I would not wish this on anyone.
But I'll brush myself off and start again. The dark, deep well that I keep falling in, ok so I slipped a bit, but I'll keep climbing out, maybe I'll get higher and higher each time and not slip so far one day. Wouldn't that be great.

Let me throw you a rope ladder.
I can only imagine what it would be like to feel like this. I have a sister in-law who also suffers depression.  And has a rough time with it.

I really wish you the best and hope you find the rope ladder to pull yourself out...
Good luck.
Lots of Hugs xxxxx

Depression-In the Mind or Bleak Reality

I'm afraid it's reality!  You can't hide from it, you can't fight it.  It's not in the mind, it's in the brain.  It's a chemical imbalance.  Take yourself off to your doctor and have a chat to him/her about it.  You will probably find that antidepressant medication will help a lot.

It's a horrible condition to have.  I've had it all my adult life.  I started meds about 9 years ago and they do help.  I still have bad days but I know what it is and I know it's not my fault.

Stop beating yourself up!
