One thing depression has done for me is create a lack of motivation in my life. I have no will or want to get out of bed most days and in turn my anger towards the people I love grow. I am just wondering how maybe people share in my lack of motivation and cry themselves to sleep at night, because that seems to be the end of the day for me.
hi, i too have major depression order, or at least thats what my new counsler tells me, i have turned my anger towards my wife and now she had me removed from my home and i guess divorce is coming, i cant talk to her at all or see my young son, life sucks, i am lonely, depressed and i now dont have my family, i think tomorrow is going to be worse for me for i have my court date to see if i can go home,
I had a serious anger issue for a long time then I started seeing a psychiatrist and was told I have Bi-Polar. With the meds I am on and the therapist I have I have been able to treat the highs and lows that I get. However, my depression is at an all time low and I find myself alone in my apartment crying myself to sleep and wondering what happened to my life. My anxiety is at an all time high as well and I worry about everything. I have 2 up and coming surgeries that I can't cope with easily without my family so my therapist is my escape, but even with that I am having some major issues. I do not know how to cope and deal with what I am feeling but I am sure trying. Anger is an evil thing and instead of taking it out on people I took it out on my surroundings. Every now and then it peeks its nasty little head in and I try my hardest to keep it out. Bless you!
Hello everyone I never used to suffer from depression this is the first time in my life I feel I need help and am experiencing deep depression I also feel unmotivated and not wanting to get out of bed. alot is going on in my life and i'm so used to being so strong I am feeling guilty that this time I can't seem to put on my big girl pants and bring myself out of it.
Caramella, you could try a nice CD, something that is soothing to you, turn it low but so that you can here it. Try to vision something good so you can fall asleep thinking of it. You could use the plug ins and candles during the day, the ones that smell nice. I hope this helps.
I've suffered depression for as long as I can remember. Even with medication, I too lack motivation. I'm not nearly as bad as I once was, but I find a lot of difficulty in forcing myself to do simple things (maintain a job, go to school, etc.). I'm hoping that at some point I'll be able to just magically snap out of it and will myself to accomplish more. I'm just not doing too well at it right now. I need to be fitted for 'big girl pants' as well.
My self esteem plays a big part of it as well. I really don't have confidence in my personal appearance. I know that I'm certainly not ugly, nor am I fat, but by my standards, I'm just not pretty enough or thin enough. And even with those feelings, I lack the basic motivation to do something about it!
For a couple of years now, I've not had much in the way of self esteem and I haven't made too many changes that would positively affect it. I still struggle to get out of bed to go to school. And when I do go, I focus on my appearance and never feel satisfied that I look good enough even for class.
I think the only thing we can do is force ourselves to be stronger and get out of bed every day. Try to do things that are productive in some way - housework, hobbies, anything that will make you feel better. I, for one, always feel better when I've cleaned my bedroom and made my bed. Something about it just makes me feel more comfortable.
Good luck.
Hi everyone....depression and anxiety are ugly beast that try to devour us. I have been to the point where I cried all of the time for months because of the sadness. I felt I was in a pit that Icouldn't crawl out of. Then I saught help. It was the best thing I could ever do now that I can look back. But therapy isn't enough. You have to get medical help from a psychiatrist. I'm on depression meds now and always will be. But they have given me a better quality of life. Please find a good dr? Or go to your local mental health facility. Thats where I go. Its based on my income. So you may pay very little or nothing! Chronic depression and anxiety can not be changed on our on. I feel for you all and will keep you in my prayers!
how are you? Are you any better today?
