Down in the dumps again – challenges with adult children

It definitely irritates me too. They assume you sit around and mope and complain all the time! They assume you don’t do anything but I would assume most of us do get out, volunteer or try to do something. Depression is due to a chemical imbalance so taking a walk isn’t the cure, nor is reading a book! I’m truly trying, I just need some compassion and help.

@kdo0827 I can understand in many ways how it can feel frustrating when you are trying. I don’t believe anyone is invalidating your efforts. I hear you on needing some help. Being presented with a long list of suggestions can be overwhelming. I have times I just cannot get motivated. I ponder things I enjoy, things I need to do-still nothing inspires me to do anything. I am not lazy and get upset with myself when I lack the energy to find even one teeny-tiny reason to move. This is where I want to scream because nothing seems to work. We are here to share the good, the bad and the ugly and lend a hand where we can. You are here telling us about how it is and that is a start. At times nothing seems to help and it is NOT because we are wallowing in self pity. I hope I made some sense.
