I want to know about my depression and how to deal with it
Can anybody Help me understand
Depression can just shut you down. You are not alone on your illness. So many of us have had or experienced depression. Hopefully seeing your doctor will give you a better awareness of depression.
Keep us posted and welcome any response you feel you need to make~
I wnt to my doc today and he gave me some anti-depressions I was down this road a few yrs ago and none of them helped, Does anybody know anything about Shock Therapy, If so Please let me know what you know.Thank You…Terry
So I am extremely depressed. I’m feeling it emotionally and physically. its affecting my life so badly. i hide in my school work, its an excuse to go to the library so its ok to be alone and not talk to people. all i want to do is cry, and be alone. i cant eat, i have headaches, im drained. i’ve lost basically all my friends. i went to get help, and i poured my heart out to my counselor and all he said was “ok.” i was shocked. it took a lot to go get help and all he said was ok?! i dont know what else to do. i dont know who else to go to. i feel like im slowly dying on the inside and soon there will be nothing left
Hi Terry...another idea for you...I think it is really important to learn as much as you can about depression. While everyone on CarePlace has their own ideas because of their own history, people's experience with this disease varies greatly, and no matter how well meaning, no one can diagnose you through a posting on a website. Reading is a great thing to do. One book I have is called "Understanding Depression...What We Know and What You Can Do About It" by J. Raymond De Paulo Jr., M.D. It is full of information on all aspects of Depression. I believe that becoming informed is so important, and will allow any doctor or therapist you deal with along the way to help you. A good therapist can also help you understand your depression, as mine is doing. By the way, I don't mean to assume that you have not been doing your homework (reading), or that you are not working with a therapist, but just in case...Many warm wishes to you, sadkitty
I should have written "Hi Terry and Elenarose"...sorry. sadkitty
