I struggle with depression yesterday

Gee, you seem to be really depressed for saying you are not excited to live. I have nothing much to say except try to enjoy life whatever you may have now.

@averygirl72 Hey. I am so sorry to read how you've been feeling. I suffer with depression. And I have been suffering for many years now along with having some other unpleasant symptoms that comes along with depression. So please believe me when I say that I understand where you are coming from. My depression has also been hitting me pretty hard lately to the point I just want to lay in my bed and not do anything except just letting time pass by. I'm grouchy and not really looking forward to anything. Also having some intrusive thoughts that a happy person wouldn't have. You can surely fight depression. But just know that it can be a long and draining battle for some. My advice is to let those who you trust know that you're not feeling so good lately. You are likely to have replies like "Just be happy" or "Just get over it" or maybe even "There is nothing to be sad about." And you know what? As much as those are ignorant responses, they are most likely responses from people who do not suffer with depression. Depression and being depressed are two completely different things so if you wish to speak to people around you, please keep it within a support group you trust and who will make time to understand you and be there for you. Because it makes it even worse reaching out to those who causally sweep you under the rug like it's not a big deal. I don't have any other advice because I'm still battling! I have Major Depression. But, I still suggest you talk to those around you. And to take it a step further I suggest you speak to a doctor you trust and possibly even a psychologist because they will listen as well as give you techniques for you to use when you are feeling down. My best wishes to you. I am also here if you're ever comfortable to chat with me. Please remember that it is OK to feel the way you feel. And with the right support, we can fight it together! You will not stand alone so be cautious on who you ask for support so you don't feel as if you're alone in this battle.

It's a struggle and when you feel that way again, please surround yourself with happy people. Call your friends and family and try to distract your thoughts.

I suffer from depression myself. The one way I am working to beat depression is to take a short walk around the neighborhood.

I feel you. there was a time in my life that i felt depressed. you know what I did? I cried it out for two weeks, everyday for two weeks. I talked out my problems to God. on the third week, I felt good.... Maybe you can do the same. Not all the time we are in the same situation.

You're a grade school teacher. Aren't you? Is it in public? If it is, tomorrow would be the release of your 13th month pay. So you'll be happy about that , won't you?

I am so sorry to hear that. :( I struggle with depression, as well. If you ever need someone to talk to, send me a message. I hope you are feeling better! My daughter's name is Aubrey too.

It is impossible to be happy all the time!! So many harsh things can come our way!! We have to make sure we get the support we need!!

@averygirl72 Have you felt that way before? I am so glad you felt better in the afternoon. Do you have someone to talk to when you feel that way? I hope you do too.

Hi Aubrey. I’m glad to hear that you’re doing fine now. We all go through that. I feel ugly and sad. We’re here for you!

Hugs for you, Aubrey. I have been feeling depressed, too, lately. But I am trying to fight it by saying my prayers every night.
