Depression has been hitting me pretty hard the last three weeks. Nothing seems to be able to lift me up. Let alone to say that I always feel like I am battling it alone. Really couldn't get up this morning, feeling despaire and hopeless...my boyfreind was really upset because it ruined his day because he couldn't get enough sleep with me refusing to get up in the morning...I am feeling really sad and sick to the stomach right now. I hate myself for ruining other people's days.

Can you tell us more about your situation? Have you been diagnosed with depression? Are you
taking meds; seeing a therapist? Do you belong to a support group; read self-help books like
Feeling Good by David Burns?

Are you responsible for you boyfriend's mood? Why is his day ruined if you don't feel well?
Have you thought of focusing on getting well, and then focusing on a relationship?

Depressed people can get better, but it takes sustained effort.

Good luck

hello

just want to tell yu please dont ignore depression andnot do anything abot it hoping it will go away...maybe sometmes it does...but if it doesnt...wow...theres trouble..it afflicts your entire life....

meds helped me but only for a while....they might help you tho..everyone reacts differently, please dont deprive yorself of the opportunity to live a full life by denyng yourself treatment for this horrible disorder.

For me, breathing exercises have helped tremendously and keep me afloat...and also sometimes transport me to the realm of 'normal' you dont know how good that feels...
just google breathing for depression or yoga for depression....it helps tremendously the breathng exercises and doesnt cost a penny.

Also try venting about what bothers you, dnt let anger, resentment, sadness build up and become a permanent blockage in your body...write down your feelings and then burn it if you wish but get it out.

Of course, eating right, exercise everything helps..if you combine it with other treatments

good luck

God Bless
