Depression Understood Forums

Hello,

My name is Vittoria, I'm 45 years old and have been suffering depression off and on for over 10 years.

I woke up this morning feeling very down. I just want to hide and cry.

I was doing very well with my depression and was off my meds for just over 4 years. My depression has decided to creep up. I've been dealing with so much in my life just like everyone else. I guess i just need a place where i can come and have someone to talk to other than my boyfriend.

I have friends but they don't understand and i just get lecture after lecture from them instead of them being understanding.

After kicking my room-mate from hell out, and didn't learn from that mistake, took in another room-mate that dosen't like to pay his full share of rent.

Just when i thought things were looking up for me, i lost my job a month ago. I am feeling useless, i apply to jobs but nothing ....

I keep telling myself it can only get better from here.

Hi Vittoria welcome to the forum. I'm glad you shared with us. I'm sorry you lost your job. Keep trying and you will find something. You can talk to us here or in the chatroom that goes with this site. We will listen. And we understand how it feels to be lectured or told how we are supposed to feel. Its not that simple. On the upside, youve been down this road before. You know the meds can help. Therapy (not sure if you have tried it before) can help. You know you can feel better again. And know it does get better, and maybe next time it will go a lot longer than 4 years. Keep your head up. Talk here as much as you want.
