Depression Mood swings |
Hi
I have just found this group while browsing the net and although I
have suffered and feel like I am currently suffering. Reading some of
the posts on this site has been scarey. I suddenly feel as if I must
be ok, because im not considering signing myself into hospital, am
sleeping ok, and can function well most of the time. But I still feel
depressed, useless, life seems pointless. I know I can get over my
current low, but dont see the point in trying. I have suffered on and
off for the last 20 years and have managed to keep hope alive so far.
Right now I feel like I have lost so many friends, and now I am
becoming distant with my familiy, I really worry about what the future
holds, and can feel hope fading. As I get older I feel I have less to
live for, although I now have a beautiful son who means everything to
me. Unfortunately my relationship is only one of convenience. I know I
need to talk about my problems, and that usually helps, but I feel
that nothing really ever changes, we just convince ourselves that
things will be different.

They are not paying attention. And they think we aren't.

Welcome to the group, copo.
Have you tried therapy for your depression? That might be
enough to make a big difference or you might require meds to
help pull you up and keep you there.

Hi Lisa
I havent worked out how to post and hide my email address, any tips?
Is this a usegroup?
Yes I have thought about seeking help recently and have found some
over the years, but its never a permanent solution. I am adverse to
the idea of med dependance, and would only take this option as a last
resort. If I have the right support, I know I can do without meds.
Friends and Family or others who are willing to talk. I think talking
things through really helps. A lot of the problem is I feel lonely and
isolated. Its as if I belong somewhere else, another planet. I dont
like the society I live in, I dont like the world I live in. Is this
familiar?

Hi Lisa

Yes, this is a Usenet newsgroup. I don't remember where google
asked me to put my screen name in when I set up a temporary
profile.

Much of what you say is familiar. If talking things through
helps, you should consider a therapist. At the least, it's
someone experienced to bounce ideas off, at best, someone to
help encourage you through rebuilding a life worth living.
Good luck with whatever you decide! And keep us posted, now
that you've found us.

The only green things are evergreens. There's still snow on my
lawn. No flowers yet. It's sunny and about 10C.

it got too hot too early here, the trees blossomed and then got frozen
to bits... but all that really means is the trees still look like they
are in winter. looking forward to the green...

We had a freeze years ago when the trees were in full bloom.
Wrecked the apple harvest that year. I'm looking forward to
green, too. It'll be coming sometime soon.
