I understand too well what it's like, so I truly sympathise. Take it easy and try take care of yourself, which I know is hard. Do you have any support? Any professional help? I wish I knew what else to suggest, but I have yet to figure how to cope with it myself.

Thanks for the replies. I'm trying really hard but keep feeling down and its getting worse.

karradcarr - I think thats a big part of it, any suggestions as to how to get there?

Sorry to hear that.

Try to spend more time doing the things you love. Express yourself through art or music or writing. Spend more time with the people you love. And get outside in nature.

Depression is difficult as it's something you cannot control but you have to try your hardest to get a handle on it. I have depression too, so you are not alone. Try to smile& laugh, even if it's hard to do. Having a sense of humor can make a difficult time not so difficult.

Best of luck.

Returning to this forum after many, many months away... and in the same situation. So although I don't know what to advise, I can understand some of what you must be feeling and share my own feelings.

I am emotionally and physically exhausted every day.

If I try and fight it, I get frustrated when I can't measure up to my own estimations, and when I don't try and fight it, and instead try some self care I feel I am giving into it. I am letting it beat me.

I don't feel like myself. I feel like a dull imitation.

I decided a couple of weeks ago I am going down the medicated route I am week 3 of a course of fluroxetine (prozac) 20mg. Do you medicate? Does anyone else have any advice to offer on getting through depression medicated vs. un-medicated? I would do anything to get my concentration and brain power back up to what it was.
