Been Depressed just need to talk

[vmcutshall]

I feel depressed in the summer months because I can't get out in the sun the way I use to. I have had skin cancer and can't afford to go out unless it is in long sleeves and a big rimmed hat. I just stay busy and go out in the evenings when the sun isn't so bright. I have tried medicine but thankfully I don't need it any more. I just stay busy running a home based business and staying in touch with all the fushion cash buddies.

it is hard not to get depressed now , with money, family, jobs, things falling apart. always seems to be something getting in the way of just plain relaxing, do you have a pet ? sometimes just spending time with a pet , that listens and doesnt try to actually tell you what you are doing wrong will help. going for a longggggg walk, or drive, leaving nonunderstanding hubby at home of course.

Honey who hasn't BEEN THERE & DONE THAT. I find it easy for me to release alot of tension by READING THE BIBLE. I began with Pslams 1 ( Happiness of the Godly; Misery of the Wicked) and continue to Pslams 150

I am sorry. I am the mother, the shrink, the peace keeper, and the reliable one for all the coworkers. Sometimes it would be nice to get it back.

I hope that you can find joy in your life and that your cycle of depression ends. It's so heartbreaking to go through that. I wish I could give you a beautiful flower everyday so for at least a moment you wouldn't feel that sorrow. I 've known what it feels like and it hurt's a lot. I hope that soon you will find that thing that pulls you out of it. Many blessings to you.

Hey Blondie,
     Life sucks sometimes...I let the way my life goes effect me tooo much I have suffered from depression and all that for yrs and when you don't have the money to get help it makes it worse I used to see a shrink all the time and it helped just having someone who has gone through what you go through helps too because they know the feeling. My depression got so bad that i used to take meds to end the misery I don't keep any pills any more due to the impact of my last bout of depression did on my kids. I have not figured out how to end it and spend lots of time crying and wishing it would end but i make it through each day so i know what u and others are going through

I am very sorry to hear that you are struggling with this. I, too, have depression and even anxiety really bad. I am on disability for it. My husband doesn't understand, but he is very supportive and tries his best to help and be patient. But there is always hope in feeling better at times. I'm surprised to hear you say that the doctor and medication doesn't help much though. I usually do a little better when I am in therapy and taking medicine. Maybe they can try a different medication and see if it can't take the edge off.

Either way, there are many people here for you to listen and support and encourage you. I know it's not quite the same as having a friend in person, but you are a valuable soul in this life and if we can brighten your day, we will!

I am wondering why the person that started the topic never came back to it.

I was actually kind of concerned to be honest.

I lnow exactly what you mean. It seems like the biggest majority of the time I feel depressed and sometimes for no reason at all. Life has had alot of tough times for all of us. However, the thing that has helped me, is having a great friend to confide in, who really listens and encourages me. The other thing that helps me is my relationship to my Heavenly Father. Sometimes, I find singing or writing out my feelings is also helpful. Sorry you are feeling so blah, but there are brighter days ahead.
