Depression really setting in

@hgarm - I'm very sorry that you feel so depressed. I know depression very very well. It's the pits! One of the things that have helped me is bringing back all the horrible things and coming to terms with them. I had to accept certain things that were in my past and deal more realistically with the present. It takes a while, it can make you feel awful, but it's worth it.
Are you on any antidepressants? I takes Zoloft and Wellbutrin. They really have helped me. I'll most likely be on them for the rest of my life.
If you can get outside, take a walk. We have to push hard and force ourselves, but it can be done!

@hgarm Hang I there till you see Dr he will go ve you meds like parus ,merpreb said do walking or chair exercises or hobby you like and haven't done in awhile deep breaths

@hgarm As @merpreb has shared we must push hard at times. Sometimes just sticking your head outside and breathing the air can help. I have found with depression that encouragement is helpful as it can be seemingly impossible to be self-motivated. It takes internal drive to take the initiative to move. Try not to succumb too far for too long as it is harder to climb back up.

I am having a difficult time healing from surgery so walking and moving seems to make my pain worse but I am trying hard to get more active but as I said it seems like my mental health is getting worse

@hgarm - Being depressed after surgery is very normal and can get worse before it gets better. And it can last for a while. Hang in there! There are a lot of people in this group who know just how you feel. I'm here for you.

@harm If it's hard to move just try to do best you can .What kind of interest did you do in the past that you enjoyed?Puzzles,search a words ,crosswords just some examples

I used to like to read or spend time with my kids but I just can't concentrate and I seem to get agitated very easily and I just feel like this for has come over me

@becsbuddy I feel so bad for hgarm If she wants I,ll try to do a long distance Tapping can you also for her ?don't know if it,ll work but ???

@hgarm As the others have said, be careful, and be gentle on yourself. As you didn't say how long ago your surgery was, it may be an after effect of anesthesia. Talk to your primary doctor about that, or the surgeon. Sitting in a chair and doing seated movements may help. Do you have any comedy or light hearted videos/movies? Remember, taking a shower and putting on fresh clothes often lifts your mood. Fix a favorite meal, reach out to family or friends that will understand and support you, especially good if they are physically close. I hope you keep talking to us. Many of us have been in the depths of despair.
