I am at work but sometimes my mind and mood slips back and I just want someone to talk to. I think that is part of my problem. I don't feel like anyone understands what I am going through or why I am depressed. I know God has blessed me abundantly with his blessings but I just don't feel happy to have them. I tried to talked to my brother who had told me in the past that he was suffering from depression. He doesn't wanna talk about it though because I always get one word anwsers from him.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INSIGHT?????
Hi, Maceymom - I remember getting bored and lonely a lot when I worked and afraid everyone would think I was even weirder than they already thought I was if I talked about depression. I think I understand that feeling of knowing you have been blessed, not feeling like it and then feeling guilty for THAT. Have you thought about seeing a therapist? You haven't mentioned it, but it would be a good outlet, to talk in a safe place and get objective feedback. You don't have to "white knuckle" it.
I'm also going through a period right now where my meds aren't quite working well enough, yet I don't want to keep adding or trying other ones. But I know I'd be a lot worse if I wasn't taking them at all.
Hope you soon feel better and can find someone to talk to in person.
I would like to go see a therapist but money is so darn tight right now. My health insurance went up in October and right now until I meet the deductible everything is out of pocket. I am hoping once I get my diabetes under control and then my thyroid and see my gynocologist about going through the change that things brighten up as far as the depression goes.
Thanks for chatting Judy
Hi again! Sometimes you can find a therapist in a clinic that has a sliding fee scale, meaning you pay based on your income; usually at least one resource would be a county mental health clinic. Just a suggestion, I know it's helped me a lot.
