hey there VermillionSkye, I have dealt with major depression for many years now. Done everything from attempted suicide to cutting myself from the hate I had for not being able to change who and how I was.
Best thing I ever did was to read as much about depression and it's causes as I could, and to realize that it's not who I am but a disease that can be cured.

The only medication I know of available over the counter is St. Johns Wart but I DO NOT recommend anything until you see a doctor.

I was on meds for two years then came off for a year and a half and was fine until one day I hit rock bottom again.
Never stop taking meds unless you are seeing a doctor if you can help it.

I had the same problem as you seem to have now, made too much money to get free help and not enough money to get insurance. The only thing that helped me was getting out of town to my moms and then, after having lost my job, I went to the Veterans Hospital where I found I could get free help.

Major Depression is a disability if it's bad enough so I will give you this advice. If you REALLY feel you need help try to see if you are in bad enough shape to get disability for depression. If you can then you will need a friend or relative to stay with until you start recieving some financial help. If they approve you then you will be able to get some medical help and meds again.

They don't give you much to live on but being able to get the help and meds is a real comfort.

Take care of yourself now or you might not be able to take care of anything later on.

Fell free to contact me and I hope this helps. one day at a time..sometimes one minute at a time.

Thank you for this! For some reason your nic seems familiar.

Hopefully soon I'll be seeing a doc. In the mean time, I'm just trying to stay upbeat and surround myself (here) and at home and work with good friends and positive things. It's all I can do.
I don't know if I want to go on meds again. I may have to. I just hate the feeling sometimes if I miss a dose. Blech. I'm not that great about taking stuff as I hate taking any kind of medication.

But we'll see! And the invitation is extended to you as well! Feel free to PM or visit here and write!

Sorry to hear that, thought it started of Ok

Was fantastic earlier, but after being bumped off 4 or five times, computer freezing and losing everything I was working on I am getting a little pissed.

Little vacation nice, was supposed to have today off, but it got cancelled, then a last minute phone call got it back for me, will probably have to work 12 or 13 hrs because of it though. whew what a rollercaster.
Don`t know how I feel at the moment, listening to classical music, never a good sign with me.

Shhh that part was a secret!


Classical hmmm? ((((quoll)))) You need to slow a bit and take a breather?

Have you check your PC for bad files or programs running that could harm your PC?

Hit ctrl+shift+esc it will give you all the programs running. And then go to Google and type in the programs that may look suspicious. That will in turn tell you how to deal with any file, program, etc that may be messing up your PC. Also you can go to PC pitstop and run a system check for free and it will tell you what may be wrong or needs to be taken care of or upgraded.

This was my first time reading this thread, and it came at a good time.

Since high school I've been dealing with severe depression and anxiety. I've been on meds a couple of times, but can't cope with the side effects. Much of the time I'm alright, but there are other periods when I just feel like I'm falling into a hole I'll never be able to climb back out of. This week has been one of those low points for me, and I'm just starting to make some decisions that should pull me out of it. At least, I'm already feeling a little better since I've made them. I'll share them, in case they could be of assistance to anyone else who might read this.

First, I intend to start going to Weight Watchers meetings. I've been on the program before and it worked wonders. The past few years, however, got a bit out of control and I didn't really care what I ate. I need to take back the reigns and start eating more normal, balanced meals again, and I think a structured program would help keep me accountable.

Secondly, I've started walking. Last night, I went outside and took a walk around my apartment building. Sure, it doesn't seem like much... but I had surgery in early November and was stuck at home for a long time. I sort of got stuck in the rut of being at home with nothing to do - I essentially just sit in front of my computer or lay on the couch and read all day long. I wasn't really in good shape beforehand...but multiply this by two months, and you have a body that can't even stand up without feeling pain and discomfort after only five minutes. I've made it my goal to take a short walk every evening, and I'll progressively make the walks longer and more frequent as I start to feel better. Hell, just one loop around the building made me feel a thousand times better - it gave me hope to think that I can fix this problem I created.

Talking truthfully is the third thing that I'm doing to help pull myself out of this hole that I've fallen into. For the past month or so, I've been lying. I would tell my husband I was feeling alright, when I don't think I've felt much worse in my life. Yesterday I just broke down and spilled it all to him. I told him of my fears of finding a job when I can't even walk a few yards without getting winded. Instead of being upset like I imagined he would be, he just told me that I didn't even have to think about a job until I got my fitness back under control. Just having him for support and knowing that he's going to help me through this gave me a huge confidence boost.

I apologize for the lengthy post - I guess I just needed to put this in writing. Hopefully someone can get something out of it... but, if not, thanks for letting me vent nonetheless.

Lynxie, Welcome to the club Wow you have made an incredible start. Some times just making the decision to do something is all you need to let some light into your life. You sound like you have thought this out really well, and you are right, even to do something small can make you feel so strong.
To have support is one of the biggest things in fighting depression. Depression has the knack of withdrawing you from everything you hold dear. If you have someone there, they are your lifeline, use them whenever you have to.

You may also find some useful info here.

Depression. Anxiety. Panic Attacks etc...
And don`t worry about long posts, if you have to get something out of your system then do it. This is something I have only just learnt, and the difference it makes is incredible.

Thanks quoll - it's nice to have a place to write about things. I have friends here, yet I can still enjoy the relative anonymity of the internet. I think I'll be able to pull myself out of this hole, and hopefully the steps I'm taking will keep me from falling back in anytime soon.

I've suffered from serious depression since I was in my early teens when I lost someone close to me. It only started to get better when I started college. I'm pretty happy now but I still struggle sometimes. I've never take pills for it though there have been times when I should have.

Councelling helps and talking online. But its different for everyone. As long as you keep trying no matter what. The best thing for me was the changes of college. Moving away from home and all the bad memories. Starting a new life. Life is pretty good now. I hope other people can find a way though.

Have you ever been tired? I mean just tired. Not physically tired, but tired of it all? I'm struggling more and more to get through every day. I was on an antidepressant for over a year and went off it. That was almost 4 years ago.
I have since left my husband and moved on on my own. My entire life has been a struggle. And it seems to be catching up to me to the point I feel like I'm drowning and can't swim anymore and just feel like slipping away.
My children are the only things in life that keep me going.

I have a career that is slowly taking off. And I like it alot. My predicament is this...

I want to do something about it. I don't want to be this way. But I cannot afford the cost of a doctor or the meds right now and need to know if anyone out here in Lit land can suggest something they have tried with some success and pass it my way. I cannot keep going like this.


Please.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
