Depression

[gaylasue]

Unfortunately I will let myself get like that at times.  Living with a person with major depression caused by physical disabilities takes it toll sometimes...

No, not really. I keep myself really busy, I have a job I like and I spend time with my daughter or friends regularly. Sorry you feel this way.

Family contributes to depression as well. I plan on getting missing the end of this week. I got to get away.

Sometimes I feel depressed for no particular reason, just feel blue.  Anybody else get like that?

Hello!

Yes, I definitely get like that at times. I get so depressed that I don't want to do anything really. I'm happier these days thank God!

I have more depressed days than those that are not depressed.  Especially the older I get.  Loss of loved ones troubles with adult children mobility issues you name it.  I have always been an upbeat person and I am still trying but it seems like an uphill battle.  Well here is to happier days for all of us.

I have many days like that.

Same.

Sometimes I can run through facts (facts, not feelings, works better for this for me) in my head to counter it, and lessen it/make it go away. Not always, though.

I have been diagnosed with chronic mild depression. I go through periods that are worse than others.

If this depressed feeling is more persistent than a few weeks, you might want to see a doctor or therapist. Don't suffer through it alone.

I have never  been told I have depression,,,  but there are times I think I am depressed.    I have known several people who do have it and it isn't something I really want to have.  Prayers for those who do have it

No, no I don't.  Life is good.  You know how I know?  Because I am typing this right now.  We are all blessed each day we wake up.  Depression is just in people's head.  If they really want to get past it, they certainly can.

The doctors tell people they have some form of depression.  Why do they do that?  They make a ton of money off of making people believe it.  And then they give them medication, which makes them more depressed and is terrible for their health.  Flooding themselves and other doctors with endless money.

I usually go to the beach or a body of water to chase away the blues.When those feelings come creeping up I start singing and speaking to myself about being a conqueror and over comer.

I sleep to forget but when wake up it returns
