How to cope with depression, anxiety and bipolar

Posted by trouse @trouse, Apr 3, 2013

Hello friends,
I have ben dealing w/ depression for the past three years. Recently it has become worse. I have been off sick since March 2012 w/ an contagious infectious disease called cediff difficile. I have had three reacurrances. seeing disease specialist and GI doctor. this illness has caused me to loose my dream home, my job, have no income. I am living in my parents basement till I get better. I also have some other issues going on w/ all of this. I have been through alot over the three years and I guess it is getting to me NOW! I am thinking of joing a discussion group that meets every Thursday. I cry all the time, having nightmares and cannot seem to get adjusted to the way I am living now.
Need some suggesstions and people that I can talk to who has been through this or something like this.

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Hi Trouse. I myself was very unwell over the last few years then last year I actually gave up my work completely. I didn't think that I would ever be able to return to work but I have. It took time but I got there.I think that what has got me through is to keep a positive attitude and rely on my inner strength. I too used to cry a lot and in a way its not a bad thing it helps to releive the stress. I think that if you feel that a support group would help well that could be a good thing.if it benefits you. Just remember not to take on everyone elses worries as well. Things will get better i.m sure just be patient and try to do things that make you feel a little relaxed a small walk everyday, I find that lavender oil helps me. Before you try to go to sleep think of something beautiful like different coloured butterflies in a beautiful field of flowers, it helps put your mind in a good place and will help get rid of the bad dreams. Take care my friend always here anytime if you need me Annie

I am dealing w/ the same thing, feeling tired, fatigue, my emotions are unstable, having weird dreams. Have you told your doctor about how worse it is getting?
