Coming from my own experiences ... truly, there comes a time when you realize that, no, you can't give up; and the shit keeps coming. All's you know is that SOMETHING has got to change, right? Playing the loop-tape of past events gets you hating yourself (all over again, right?). And you wonder if y...

Heyya Storm, I can appreciate why you're nervous about posting. But, I'll tell ya, many understanding folks here. Can I ask you something? Is your feeling down times impacting your quality of life? Even a little? THAT question is my personal benchmark as to whether getting a doctor's help is appropr...

Frame, assuming life continues to "suck," what's next? I mean, you're wading out into a river, stretching out your arms and trying to make it stop. How well is THAT working? My point is NOT to make you feel worse, bro. Shit WILL happen, there's no escaping it. So, re-orient yourself to the...

The Mixed Messages

Society says that we ought not think too highly of ourselves. That, somehow, its just not right... despite all the hoopla over "self-esteem" and how good it is. Add in self-loathing. You enter into a mobius loop that it seems there's no getting out of. YOu have to start by "undoing&qu...

What Helps Me

- 1000 mg of vitamin D (3) daily - an hour walk each evening with my wife - a shorter walk during the day, if I can manage it - granting myself emotional and psychological mercy for past mistakes, errors in judgement, and F-ups. - taking needed psych meds in correct amounts daily - monthly med check...

Meaning

Maybe there is no meaning to life. But that's not to say one can't lead a meaningful life.

Know what I mean, Vern?

Dearest Hollyann *hugs* I can't really say that anything is "wrong." I think a lot like you (and probably tons of other folks here, too!), I struggle and some days are better than others. But, I'm managing it in my own special style. :) I guess, trying to translate my experiences in the su...

Misty, at best your proposition seems unseemly. At worst it's seems inappropriate.

So

Good bye all.

Remember to work on giving yourself compassion. That is how the healing starts. Yes, its work. But its good work that you'll thank yourself for later.

Hope you all find some modicum of peace.

Wow, Rebecca... thank you.

I aspire to buddhist thinking and practice, but what you describe is something I totally missed in myself. "Overwhelmed" works.

Unacknowledged pain... whew... a big one. YOu've helped and I'll continue to consider your thoughts! Thank you

howtomend, "... to get over the depressions?" For those with depression as a result of neuro-chemical issues, one does not "get over" depression. It must be dealt with as a medical concern. Depression resulting from break-ups and such, of course, are different, and therapy may le...

I would urge you to get into therapy for yourself and couple's therapy for the both of you. Essential.

Hi Jamiemarie, I was about your age when depression started to manifest itself in my life. Our first child was born when I was 27. I guess I was mentally unprepared for the challenge of being a dad. When the depression started to become a quality of life issues, I sought out a therapist. I'm 49 now,...
