Depression Understood Forums

I'm holding on, Star. Looks like I'll be getting treatment for my headaches after all! Friday is the day. Lots of legal string pulling worked in my favor. I was shocked. Still having trouble finding joy in much. But am trying. No pain worse than a broken heart. It's not like you can take a med for i...

Is the slipping situation related? Med related? What can u do before the slip becomes a fall? Any options? I care. It just occurred to me after watching a great video of of professionally choreographed dance with a woman and her dog, that there IS beauty in this world. Then it dawned on me that ther...

Thanks for thinking of me Star. I'm hanging in there. Had another awful migraine bout. Down for two days. Now on steroids that have their own problems. But I can afford them, I got a RX and they do work. Long story short: 2 neck injuries each resulting in surgery after assaults at work. Chronic pain...

Is their depression worsening and are they isolating and heading in a downward spiral?

I'll keep this simple. 1. She sounds histrionic. If u don't know what that means, look it up. 2. You sound codependent. If u don't know what that means, look it up. 3. You CANNOT help her. Doesn't mean she doesn't need help, it just can't be from u. 4. The best thing u can do for both of u is run fr...

Dear Chica - I know exactly where u are. I've been there. Right now, I am there again. You need to have at least one person you can show your true self to. Even if you have to pay for that luxury via therapy - if you can. Perhaps coming here can help, but something more could be better. Are you gett...

Thank you SO much Star. I'm hanging. I'm doing the best I can. I've had depression for 17 years and developed chronic pain and migraines after a couple injuries to my neck. For a variety of reasons, I can't get treatment for the pain/migraine issues. Complicated. I feel I have exhausted medication o...

Have you considered sending him a link to this website. There's a very good chance he would check it out, perhaps see himself in other's stories and things may unfold from there.

All I can say right now, Jon, is thank you so much. It feels so good to feel like someone cares about me. Don't know what the immediate future holds. Perhaps we can catch each other in the rooms and pm sometime. Again thank you so.

I am done. I can't deal with the physical pain anymore. I no longer enjoy anything. I know I've said before that I would never suicide because of what it does to those left behind, but I just can't be that strong any longer. I've been a hamster running in a wheel doing everything I could to get help...

I'm rather new here. You have all been so kind - to me and to each other. I've pretty much ruled out suicide as I've seen what it does to those left behind and I never want to do that to those I love. I've fought this for 17 years. All kinds of treatment. I'll do fine for awhile, that treatment &quo...

Been dancing this dance for nearly 18 years. I've been on a variety of meds. Some useless, some great - but only for a period of time then they would "poop out". Then it's time to try another. Etoh = bad Stuffing your face = bad Exercise has always been a good temporary fix; I just need to...

I'm curious, Simon. Why do you think it is that in spite of all your seemingly insurmountable misery, you still find yourself on this earth?

Could you perhaps be hopeful and really want better for yourself?

Dear Vtal: I don't think you were/are a fool. I suspect nobody else did either. I also suspect you are the only one thinking about the incident. I think that for some reason you could be overly sensitive at this time. Just because someone may have "fooled you" does not make you a fool.
