update on my depression

tickleteasing · Mar 29, 2011

I am sorry if I have been distant to some people the thing is when you have what I have depression you find it hard to let people see you this way. Its embarrassing because your weak and not wanting to get out of bed. I am taking 40 mg of lexapro now and I have done it for two weeks. I want things to get better so bad. I won't go in to details about whats stressing me out because in my opinion I have a lot to be thankful for. I just worry about burdening people with my problems.

Having suffered from depression all my adult life I can fully understand how you feel .The important thing to remember is that you do have an illness ,its not just a state of mind and your first priority is to get well .Try to put any awarkness you feel towards others as just another sympton of the illness not a personal failing. Once you start to recover it wont seem nearly as important as it does now.Good luck.

I also dealt with a bout of it a few years back and made it through the darkness. I hope you have success with dealing with it. Seek out all the help you can get and remember you deserve to feel better. Use this thread to report victories you have with it. You seem to have some nice support here already. Keep us posted and best of luck.

Keep up the therapy with a professional, don't label yourself as a this or that or you will likely end up with a self-fulfilling negative prophecy. What doesn't kill you will make you stronger! You Da Man!!! Take care.

Just wanted to say it was really great getting a chance to chat with you.🙂
I hope you feel better really soon. I am sorry your depression is lingering and sticking around-hopefully it goes away real soon. I hope the meds help you soon a great deal. Just know I am here for you always-never a burden to me. Take care and be good to yourself, talk to you soon. Sending you lots of hugs.
