Lifelong Struggle with Depression, Feeling Lonely with It

Posted by Xin @xin, Mar 30, 2012

Just want to talk with others who have had a lif long struggle with depression. Feeling quite lonely with it. I know others who seem to have overcome it completely. I have certainly had some good times but also countless recurrences. Very discouraging!

Belle.
I sure hope that you are getting some help. I think that I was much like you at that age. I am 67 now & have been through much pain. Howeve I have had wonderful times too. Sorry to admit that I still have a problem with depression. Don't give up though because "I could have missed the pain, but I'd have missed the dance." . . Garth Brooks song.
Hugs for you

Hi Piglet.
I'm doing pretty good for the last while. It was such a relief to have my daughter's problems all done with & it wasn'tthe"C" word. She is recovering nicely from the surgery. We celebrated fathers' day with the whole tribe of us & it was a very happy day.
However, my daughter-in-law is going to have neuro-surgery on Friday to hopefully relieve the pain she has been having for too long now. She has trigemal neuralgia. So I have another worry, although this surgery sounds pretty delicate, her doctor has done a lot of them & is confident of good results. Still brain surgery is scary to me & every surgery has its risks . . . . We pray it turns out well.
How is the world treating you?? Let me know how it is with you. OK?
Love & hugs
Diana

Sorry to hear about the downs, but you know, I feel that I can tell that you are strong, just don't take on too much because you're strong. It's OK to say NO & you don't have to apologize for it either.
Thanks for kind thoughts & prayers are appreciated so much because I know they help. I will let you know how it goes.
Let me know how you make it through this glitch time.
Always here with a caring heart
Diana
