Depression Understood Forums

Greetings,

I've just recently realized how bad my depression and anxiety is getting. I feel depressed, because I'm feeling depressed despite all the drugs I'm taking, Doctors I'm seeing, causing me to sink even lower. But this is nothing compared to the insomnia/anxiety loop I'm experiencing. I'm stressed out because I can't sleep, and I can't sleep because I'm stressed out. Any suggestions, personal experiences and resolutions will be greatly appreciated.

Hope everyone is having a pleasant Easter.

Regards

Thomas

Hi, is it possible to switch doctors?
I know that i find help in exercise. I also do essentials oils to help relax. I have been reading a lot about yoga helping also.
Have you looked into anything holistic?

The only advice I can think of is to take medicine to help you sleep. Sometimes when I can't sleep I take zquil I think it's called? It's from NyQuil but for sleep not colds or anything and it always knocks me out.

How do I get over feeling humiliated because I screwed up? I am in recovery (alcohol). I worked my whole life not too.
