Depression really setting in

Posted by hgarm @hgarm, Jan 28, 2019

Things have been rough the past couple of months with My health. Seeing as there doesn't seem to be a light at the end if this tunnel I have found myself slipping further into depression. I no longer enjoy anything, I am barely sleeping or eating, I feel like I am watching my life through a fig that just keeps getting thicker. I seem to cry more and more each day. I went to see a therapist today hoping that it would help but it was just a consult and I think it made things worse because it brought up things that I worked really hard to push back. I feel like I am drowning and there is no way to come out of it and I just was hoping that there was help out there.

@hgarm There are times when even positive and encouraging input can be irritating. You did get an appointment and it is a start. No more of what helps me as we are all so different. Focus on what helps you no matter how small or silly.

Hello @hgarm

@becsbuddy and @parus have offered some good suggestions. I especially appreciate what @parus said in that what might help me would not be the same as what might help you.
Think of something that has given you a lift before when you were feeling down and focus on that.
Keep in touch, we are here to listen and care.
