I don't know where to begin really, or why I'm really posting.
I lost my Grandma in June and that has hit me reallly hard as I was very close to her...and I hate my job and all the usual drama of life. But when I was 16 I had minor depression....well it was apprently minor.....but thats beside the point. I started feeling depressed again and went to my doctor and I'm on fluoxetine now...
I dunno, I guess I'm just looking for support? People who know how I feel?
Anything really.
Sorry that you loss your Grandma and that you are feeling so depressed.
I hope the medication helps with your depression.
Keep posting and asking for support
remember the medication takes weeks to get into your system so dont expect and quick miracles sweet.
Im so sorry to hear about you losing a loved one, its never easy, i know its so cliche but time is a great healer, try and remember her for all the good things and the best parts of her life you had to share.
Depression is not uncommon in this situation and alot of people get stuck in a rut, is there any positive changes you could make in your life in order to make things more pleasant for you? such as applying for new jobs etc?
&& Alfie, I'm trying constantly to concentrate on the positives in my life, like my boyfriend and my family. I am alos applying for new jobs, but no luck so far. Thanks for the support.
Just wanted to say that i'm very very similar to you, you're not alone. I lost three of my grandparents a couple of years ago, and i'm sure my depression started around then, even if it was minor.
I agree about focusing on positives. Also it's really helpful to talk about your grandma with people who also knew here and remember the good times. Even with people that didn't know her. A therapist once suggested I made a memory box or something, and fill it with photos and bits of writing and memories to look back on. I never did but it sounds like a good idea.
PM anytime if you want to talk :)
But if i still believe you love me, maybe i'll survive.
So i tell myself you're coming home, like you've done a million times.
Hiya, I'm not close to my family (except my sister) but I hate my job and have all sorts of other issues and just wanted to say if you ever want to chat feel free to PM me xx
I am sorry to hear about your gran, but I know how you feel. In May I lost two uncles in the space of a week, and had to go to two funerals in 24 hours.
As the others have said, medication takes time for it to work.

I am sorry to hear you have lost your Gran. Such losses can be incredibly unsettling and so it is not surprising you are struggling at the moment. I am glad you have spoken to your Dr and posted here and hope that the medicine and the support you can get here will help.
It may be worth looking into whether counselling would help you to process the grief you will be going through at the moment, in an enviorment that is safe and non-judgemental.
Be gentle with yourself.

If the Human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we wouldn't.
I'm a little stuck for words right now, but I do understand what you're going through and I'm sorry things hurt so much for you right now. You know that I'm always going to be here if you need me.
Love you, JadeyJade.

Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.
