Time passes.

[berry2000]

I looked at the calendar today. Could it be the end of July already? Seems time passes so fast. Days, weeks, months, years. I look at my kids and remember being a kid life had so much meaning then. Now it seems each day is the same, one after another after another. What is the point? I feel numb. I feel nothing. I feel alone. My life feels empty. My life feels meaningless. Time keeps passing on and on and I wonder what is the point?

I know exactly how you feel I was feeling that way back in March. Are you on meds? I have finally been regulated on my meds and I am feeling so much better. Like a fog has been lifted. I just want to encourage you to see your doctor and get on meds because it is Gods way of clearing our minds of all Satans tricks. I will be praying for you. There is so much in this world that is worth it. The beautiful nature around us, the flowers, Gods unconditional love, and his saving grace!

Love,

Melanie

I hate the emptyness feeling worse than out and out suicidal feelings. I don't know why but it just eats me up inside. I feel like nothing and no one. I'm starting to feel like that lately. PDocs working on the meds. How about you. How's your meds going? I would talk to your PDoc and see if they can work on your meds.

Remember, berry: Depression is all about skewing your mood and making anything and everything in your world dark and bleak. It makes us forget about all the good times we've had in the past, or make them seem meaningless or insignificant. But being a Mother to children who love you is anything but meaningless. You're in my thoughts. Take care.

Thanks for the encouragement to all of you who replied. As far as meds I've been actively seeking meds that will help for the past 6 years. Just can't seem to find the right combo. This is the best so far....but I still have the lows. I am taking Remron, Seroquel, and Lexapro. You'd think I'd feel better.

berry, talk with doc about a mood stabilizer. Not always, as we all vary, but I stayed depressed for almost 12 years until a mood stabilizer was added. Tehn slowly over time (about 6 months) the antidepressants began to trigger manias. I have been off antidepressants and on a combo of mood stabilizers for about a year now. I lived in deep dark depression and only maybe twice a year had hypomanias. Now the depression is gone, but I have more episodes of hypomania, but they are minimal and easy for me to control with prayer and clear thinking.

I am not saying this is the combo that will work for you as some need to stay on antidepressants, but your list includes 2 antidepressants and an antipsychotic, all used with bp and often work well. But mayhap you have been on the mood stabilizers wihtou success already. Just a few thoughts, irregardless do not despair, there are many drugs and combos and new ones actively getting ready for use all the time!

May the great Physician give you peace and true joy today.

I just wanted all you friends out in cyber space to know I'm feeling a little bit better today. The depression is less severe...although I am struggling w/ some serious anxiety and feels like my stress is through the roof. Atleast the deep dark depression is lessinging....hey that's one thing I'm thankful for (i should put that in that post).
Thanks for your prayers and love and support. i'm not out of the woods yet. Feels like I'm swinging. So would appreicate your prayers still.

Dearest Berry,

Glad to hear you had "a good day". Believe me...it's one day at a time...and those good days...I milk them for everything their worth !

Prayers, love and support (I've found) is what this forum is all about!!!

I think we'd all agree...prayer is a never ending priviledge we can all do for one another...nonstop.

With s & s,
Wendy
