Kountrygal04 depression is hard not only on your emotions but the body pains and tiredness. I understand where you are coming from if at all possible stand outside for a couple of minutes hold your face to the sun and just close your eyes. the warm sunshine will give you a little lift please open your windows if they are closed and get light in. If there is any thing i can say to help please let me know. I have been a depression since last Aug and have found the only thing to truly give me joy is yard work. My nails are gone and I cant get the dirt out from under my nails but it's ok I can put them back on once I feel better. Give it a try and let me know how you are doing... Derhonda

I feel so drained as well. I only talk about in this chat line....but I know I have been struggling with depression for over 15 years. To make matters worse, I have 4 kids now and one is extremely difficult to deal with. My son has many difficulties... bipolar, extreme ADHD, anxiety, depression, learning disabilities, and I suspect asbergers. I feel like I've been thru it all. Trying to work miracles daily while depression makes it feel like I'm swimming thru peanut butter. There is so much to share! Mental hospitals, police, social workers, various special education schools. I lost my mother 2 years ago, my only reliable support. I ran out of patience 3 years ago, probably when my son hit my mother. And now we all walk on eggshells at him, trying not to upset my 16 year old son. Even my 6'5 husband. We are only surviving, there is no living life here.

@Justwantnormal
I have lost control in my life. Aside from depression, my 16 year old son is too much for me on my own. I don’t even know where to start. On an average day he is high anxiety, pacing, cursing, spitting and the walls, banking on things, complaining for me to do things for him or buy him something, destroying the house, searching thru others belongings and taking whatever he wants, bothering animals, threatening to break things or harm someone. Why do me and my husband and 3 other children need to live this way?
