Hello friends,
I am new to this group and look forward to some positive conversations.
I have been diagnosed with depression and started meds day few days back.
I know its going to be hard but as they say hope is a good thing, maybe the best of good things and no good thing ever dies
hello hope is a great word, :-)
Having a positive conversion all depends on why your depressed in the first place everyones experience is different so advice and conversion is also different kinda tailored to the individual you will find people arw willing to help on this site
tnkx, however I think depression is more to do with our mindset than situations. Afterall, who would like to be trapped in the vicious circle given a chance!
No one wants to be trapped but depression is an illness therefore has a cause something has to trigger it off we aren't born with depression yeah it's a state of mind but when your your mind gets like it does it take time to get back what you once had and be yourself again I felt so low to the point of just taking one step of a cliff into the sea would stop what I was feeling but I decided against it and take the harder path and to be and feel like me again everyone has a cause if you dont wish to share yours then so be it but people cant help if you cant share doesn't matter how small you may seem it is everyones pain and story is unique to them so dont think your depression is small compared to others
Good to know that you chose the right path (hard it would have been). I never meant others' pains and sufferings are smaller. Yeah, I agree that there is a root cause which triggers depression and mine were some issues during teenage. There's nothing like not sharing but I have just joined and would certainly share my saga later on. Cheers
Hello Punk, welcome to this supportive site, we help each other weather it be good or bad. Depression is very up and down and anything you wish to share good or bad is fine.
Hi punk, thanks for sharing your thoughts its nice to know we are not on our own. Just seen doc ad got signed off for week,only the job was in catering and its not easy. So this triggered off a reaction of hating
being in a job few weeks ago. Reason being hating serving people clearing tables as i
i shouldn't be doing it. I cant get my head straight, and chef shouting at us for not picking food up fast enough was not acceptable in my eyes.
the money as in debt been put on council list for place more affordable. And we can live without debt i hope. We need to put things in boxes ,that bothers us. i feel. For now im just sitting at home. Being good to myself putting myself first. Don't want to be bossed around by anybody. That's my answer for me. Maybe i will have meds later that will help as fluxetine doesn't help me. I've
tried them many times before.
If it would be more comfortable for you feel free to pm me and I will try to help
Being compassionate towards others pains really help in coming out of our own shells..
thats some positive attitude you are putting up against the negativity..yeah its comforting to know we are not alone in this fight..utilise time in things you like while you are off from work..tc
There are no rules here Punk so if you want to just pop in and say hi,then that's your prerogative. Some people find all the answers they need by just trailing the threads. Others feel a sense of purpose by helping others. Many share there history,others just want the reassurance of being in a community of others going through the same as they are.
Me,I'm a open book and have needed reassurance and support so I've posted whenever I had something on my mind.
Just know we are happy to have you here and hope that you find all the answers you need and the support if you ever need it xx
