depression and disappointment

I know that I want to live and be content or happier. I think my depression has gotten worse. The only thing I feel like doing is sitting here on my computer. Necessary things a person needs to do daily, I have to push, or I could almost say force, myself to do. I don't feel any zest for life or any inclination to go out some place and enjoy myself. Every day is about the same. Today I didn't even go out for a walk or cup of coffee. I feel like the walking dead - like doing nothing. Nothing except stuff on the computer. I'm not even sure if I enjoy being on the computer much - I kind of do but. I just feel so blah. My son and I were able to relocate but we couldn't afford to go very far and we didn't get to go to a city we would of really liked to have gone. And we got stuck in a rather drab neighborhood. We are both relieved we are not living in the small city we moved here from. My son feels blah to but he can function better then I can. For example I can barely get myself to walk to the nearby convenient store. I feel like I have no willpower or ambition except for getting a few things accomplished online daily. I can't get myself involved in church, a group or any kind of activity. I will go out with my son places. We do allot of walking. But I really have to push myself to get going out the door to go some place. For several days I watched documentaries about food and health; I found out some terribly sad, horrible things that been happening in our world for decades. I think it made me feel even worse then ever. I think 2 prescription drugs I've taken have made me feel less like being less active (zoloft and quintinin (generic syroquel). Any advice.

Well depression and disappointments are part and parcel of life and they tend to make u weaker if u fall prey to it. They r never meant to benefit us. so we have to be strong firm and positive throughout so that we always stay positive and think positive with the way our life goes on. This will help us to go more towards achieving excellence.

Thank you for responding. Today is better. My son and I went to the grocery store; it is very cold out today. We both started taking multi-vitamins again; this being our third day. I'm wondering if I feel better because of the vitamins or because I got out of the apartment for a couple hours. It might be the vitamins. Well you see clinical depression is different then just the usual ups and downs people have. I do my best to be positive. However, I'm not to happy with the state of the US or the world. There to many things going on that don't have to be. I never knew about factory farms until recently when I was watching documentaries on growing food and health. I learned allot but it upset me so, and still upsets me about the poor, tormented farm animals (other pets & animals to) that I kind of wish I hadn't of found out. I been going to a site to sign petitions in hopes to help the animals and my fellow humans of course. You take care.
