I have been living with depression/bipolar depending on the doctors feelings for the days. My life has been a roller coaster since April. I sent my youngest off to boot camp and a hour later was diagnosed with breast cancer. I have had 35 radiation treatments and still going. If this was not enough m...

    It sounds like a very difficult time for you, i myself have suffered from depression which eventually lead onto Anorexia. I know what i went though must be nothing compared to how your feeling, but i went to see a psychiatrist for a while and i felt it really helped. I know all you want to do is sit inside and do nothing, but your making it worse for yourself, i found it hard to go out and do stuff but i forced myself to organise activities like playing badminton with my friends, or going shopping and treating myself.

    I hope i have helped in some way, hope you feel better soon :)

    I'm sorry that you're going through such a tough time. It's no wonder that you are depressed. In fact you're probably all over the place emotionally right now which is why I'd guess that the doctors keep changing their mind over what is wrong with you. It's difficult but perhaps as you work on the issues in your life (I hope you're talking things through with your doctor - therapy can help) you'll stabilise a bit more.

     

    Perhaps you can try and find a hobby to do. Something outside would definitely be great but anything that keeps you busy and lets your mind be active is a good idea - something where you are achieving something. It could be gardening, painting, going on walks somewhere nice nearby, I write and do puzzles and from time to time I paint plaster casts of things (like a kid hehe)... sometimes the simplest of things can help make the day that much easier.
