Thanks Irish. I sure could use a hug today. The past few have been really bad. I got to move out of here before I totally loss it and ... I don't know what! I take meds to help my stress and then live with people who take great joy it seems to try to hurt me and stress em out but how they act. (adult and child alike) I know what I need to do is move but it's hard with no money and being told if I leave I'll be sorry. But being told by that person to get the hell out! So, what do I do?

Oh Lordy talk about sending you mixed messages. If there a safe place to go for you? Any family that can help you? Can you document any of what is going on? Do you have friends that you could stay with for awhile. .

Can't stress enough Document document document. Anyway you can. Be safe. Know that we care about you. BE SAFE!!

Good luck with what you need to do. Remember WE CARE!!!! Please please please keep us posted.

crazymomma, try to find a shelter for battered women. I don't know if your relationship is physical, but it is certainly battering your brain.

It may take some planning to get to a safe place, but I know you can do it.

(((((((((((((((((((((ALL))))))))))))))))))) I have a plan to go. I just have to put it in place and time it right. I had a wonderful counsiler who I am going to call next week and see if she can refer someone out here. Before you ask,I did call and she is on vaca this week.
thank you all for your concern. If I am not on for a bit it will be because I am some place safe and I can't get to a computer. But I will keep you all in the loop.
(((((((((((PBS))))))))) I love you too. Thank you for being a friend.

I don't really know what to do. I'm 19 and I have been depressed for as long as I can remember. And I know I need to get help, but there's no one I can tell. I went to a therapist on campus once last year, but she really wanted me to do group therapy and I am not comfortable with that at all. And I don't think I'll ever end up killing myself, but I do think about it, and if I told anyone that, well they'll just overreact and .... I don't know, I know I need help, but I don't think I'm actually ready to get it yet

IRISH_EYES_99 · September 23rd, 2008, 07:10 PM

songbird, Do you have insurance? Try another therapist. One on one it better to start with anyway. If you find the therapist is not focused on your problem, and he/she doesn't seem to listening. You need to change to someone who will listen.

And PLEASE even if you don't think you'd hurt yourself, if you have thoughts about it...TALK about it. Hope you get the help your asking for. Good luck. Keep us posted.

how can i battle this? reading other people's stories really helps me feel better because i'm not alone. but sometimes you lose sight of it. sometimes the pain is just so unrelenting. i've been battling since saturday. my husband and i confessed some unfaithful behavior to each other (flirting and phone calls, no sex) and we have agreed to focus harder on our marriage. he is fine, while i am depressed. this incident triggered my 3rd or 4th serious depression. now...i wait. i wait for it to be over. how to survive the wait is the battle.

has anyone experienced the following: you wake in the morning feeling absolute dread, every move you make triggers some sad feeling that comes from who knows where. you go about your day even though half of you doesn't want to, but the half that goes about the day knows if you stay home just 1 time, you'll never leave. you're scared to tell your family, because they will be so sad for your sadness. you are getting confused the issues you have in your marriage, with friends, with family because of the distorted thinking the depression creates. it subsides near late after noon only to wake to the same pain again....

songbird, i first got depressed when i was 17. i had another issue with it in college, age 21. i'm 25 now. there are hopefully resources for you on your campus beyond what you've found. is there family close by to support you? friends you can be open with?

I was at that point once, where I didn't want to take anti-depressants. But after I have been on them for awhile, it has made me feel better about things. Once I get the Lexapro back into my system, I hope to be back to where I was. I'm glad you made an appt.! Good luck!
