Depression Support

[snowy27]

I know what you mean, sometimes it helps so much to realise that my negative thoughts and feelings of despair are not a reflection of reality but a disease. I have found medication very helpful too. Sometimes I wonder whether I may have brought this disease on myself though by the way I think about things and the way I react to stress.

Another analogy I have heard about is 'the black dog'. The black dog is the name former UK Priminister Winston Churchill had for his depression. Sometimes I realise I have to tell the black dog to go and sit in the corner! Not easy sometimes is it?

I am married and back from honeymoon Had a great time in Malta it was lovely. We are hoping to maybe go to Greece or Cyprus in the summer too

I am so happy right now - it feels so good to be living with my husband and we are just getting our house sorted - putting all our wedding presents away etc!!

It was such a great day - everything went so well - when i get the pics i will let you all see.

I'm sorry some of you are feeling low - i am thinking of you all - I pray that you will be able to find rest in God's presence.

Hi tsuriyel, thank you for this forum.

I've read through some of the posts here and it's not nice that we go through depression/anxiety etc but I'm glad I'm not alone. I won't go into detail because there's too much been going on (my blog tells more in detail of my main issues causing my depression and anxiety) and I'll be honest I've come here for encouragement, I don't feel I'm able to hand out advice or encouragement myself at the moment becasue I'm at a real low, probably the lowest in my life, I've hit rock bottom and had the most horrible thoughts just lately but thank God I've not followed through with them!

If anyone can help me 'talk to God again' I'd appreciate it, the Father and I have had a bit of a fall out, or should I say, I've had a bit of a fall out with God, I just don't know how or what to pray anymore, I'm so worn out.

*Sigh* Feeling rather down right now. I did rather poorly in my voice recital on Saturday. Also, summer starts tomorrow for me and I'm reminded that this will be the first summer in 8 years that I won't be going to Yosemite Sierra Summer Camp (I'm too old to go this summer ) I've been going to camp there for longer than I can remember, and I can't imagine a summer without it, that's how special it is to me. Besides that, I'm tired from a nastily difficult hour and a half of sprints in swim practice. Trevor got the job he wanted up in L.A; I'm happy for him but it means seeing even less than him than I already do. I suppose it's inevitable but it leaves me officially alone. I wish I had one more year at YSSC... I could use the support of the people there now more than ever.

Great to see you back RS! And many congratulations on the wedding, glad all went well and u had a good time!

I'm ok at the moment, just finished my final exams at uni, and am starting the job hunting process right now, which is pretty scary, as my confidence (and motivation at times) is very poor. Apart from that I'm ok, I'm just never confortable with change haha!

Hope everyone else is ok at the moment! Love you all! xxx

hehe thanx, think im mainly nervous coz i often seem to be exhausted. I thought it might be the antidepressant prozac I've been taking, I'm easing off it now though (not taken it for 5 days now though!) I'm hoping I'll start feeling less tired soon. I ringing up about a job as a speech and language therapist assistant today, woo! Scary but also a lil exciting. Someone I know from church works as one there, and found out they're looking for someone, so quite lucky. I'm just hoping God will let me cope with it that's all and I won't be so exhausted all the time xx

Sometimes a different focus can help with energy levels so i'm sure you will be fine. Let us know how it goes with the job!!

Thanx, will do. Yeah, planning something, and having something to look forward to does kinda help with depression. Gives me something to look forward to, take my mind off the depression, and see some hope for the future, rather than dwelling on the past. I'm easing off my prozac tabs now, and been given zoloft by my doctor, but I am kinda cautious of starting on new meds if I have a job, coz of side effects. It was easier at university as I only had 8 contact hours a week haha!

But think on the positive side at least you know you will have side effects on meds and will be able to manage them more effectively - don't forget about the learning experiences you have had!

My hubby bought me two albums on monday - Nerina Pallot Fires and The Feeling twleve stops til i'm home -they are great summery feel good albums - i would recommend them!!

Enjoy how far you have come

Hey hun,
Trust me you wouldn't want everyone to like you because then you would not have time to develop real lasting friendships - i have a small circle of friends and it means i can spend the time developing my friendships with them.

There will be people who dislike us for no reason and it can be very hurtful but you have to remember that the best people will want ot know you and like you and the more you relax and are who you are the more people will be drawn to you - there is something really appealing about vulnerable honesty in people.
