I now beleive the tablets are kicking in (DAY 12) Do any of you suffer from the devil / angel on your shoulder if you know what i mean. I got up this morning normally with the kids and wife and i was desprate to do something to keep me busy. I helped get the kids ready for school and ending up doing some ironing (not like me). I again went to the supermarket on my own. I go if there even if there is only one thing to get because if i go walk the long way round it takes a couple of hours. Again at least i not staring at walls. All this to me seems to be on the positive side of the line(Angel) Hope some of you agree !! So why o why have i still got this damn Devil on my shoulder telling me it's not going to be okay.
Any thoughts please help
Thanks Again
That is just the nature of this damn depression. It really pulls you down, and if you struggle it gets worse! It is like something is trying to tear you into two.
I think it takes time really. Little steps, everyday doing something positive, no matter what it is, and if you even feel like its making a positive difference even for only an hour or half a day or a few minutes it is good. You are not going to be over this in a day or even a week, it takes time. I have realised this now and am trying my best to deal with the bad days/moments as best I can, waiting for the point where the good moments are more frequent than the bad. I think also its going to be hard work. My first step was doctor, then meds, now therapy combined with meds. At least the meds get you to a stage where you feel you can start to talk.
I hope this makes sense and I am not rambling at you.
Thanks for the reply. Your right littlesteps but it so frustating all we all want to be is better. It's not asking to much is it?
