Thursday, March 06, 2008 at 10:13 AMhey thanks for responding. I'm new to this whole online support network idea, but I thought I'd give it a shot because I'm just so tired of feeling alone. I know that in reality, I'm not alone, there are so many people suffering out there, but I'm sure you know what I mean. It just feels like there's nobody out there who wants to listen. If ever I talk to my friends or family, I either feel like I'm being a burden to them, or I feel like they think Im full of ****. Are your friends and family familiar with your struggles? are you able to comfortably talk to them?

I haven't had this problem for very long at all...only a few months. But it sure feels like forever, and I will do whatever it takes to be happy again. Here's something that's really been bugging me...do you ever feel like it's something else ruining your life? That something's invaded your mind, because you know if it wasn't there, you'd be okay? You wouldn't do the things it's making you do?

depression

Monday, March 24, 2008 at 02:28 AMJo---hi, i do understand how you feel...many times i have to fight depression because of some of the pills that i was on....ellivil (noratriptyline) were awful for me....i struggled with thoughts about giving up, feeling hopeless, and even wanting to just sleep my life away...but like you, there was something inside deep, that kept me going, each day, at a time....i kept crying out for my doctor to change my medicine, and she was at a loss....since the pain seemed not to be controlled, unless i was out of it...what a life.....with young children, working...not possible...I had a pain specialist change some of my medicines, and had him take me off the ellivil and noratriptyline so that i would not feel like a walking zombie.....try getting your doctor to readjust your medications, especially some of the depressant ones....slowly...also try putting on some uplifting music....peaceful, and serene if you can. I lived and breathed gospel music....with headphones on...i would put it on loudly so that i could focus on good stuff instead of the pain, depression, negative thoughts etc....DO NOT ADJUST YOUR MEDICATION ON YOUR OWN....ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR FIRST.....HE / SHE KNOWS YOUR CASE AND YOUR MEDICATIONS.....sue p.

its all new everyday. its okay not to remember. happiness is based upon how you "feel' about things going on around you. forget happiness. try to know joy. joy is an inside peaceful feeling. it has nothing to do with others. you are the beauty in your life. each day your eyes open, is simply another day. life is what happens while we are making our plans. plan to love yourself. you are beautiful . . . inside and out.
