Depression and Anxiety
I am completely and emotionally in a state of depression. I can’t work I can’t eat. I go days without washing or cleaning my house. My family is torn apart. I am 47 and have no family to turn to.

Hi @sensitiveLion607.
Hope you'll see a doctor to get some medicament for your depression.
I am but they said it might take weeks to get out of my system
@sensitiveLion607
Yes @sensitiveLion607. Maybe 6 weeks until the medication works fully. If you are not better then (this is what I did) you can take a blood-test to see how the medication is working in your body. I doubbled my medication after the test.
Really - how do we survive our depressions. I had 40 days nearly not eating. But at the pharmacia there is a drink to be bought with vitamines and proteins. I drank that.
I know an artist (from TV) - he was lying at his couch for 1 year in depression.
Maybe you can get a counseleer here at 7Cups.

@sensitiveLion60,
I’m so sorry you are feeling this way. Let me tell you that I completely understand you. Because i’m feeling the same way, I just have a hard time functioning and having a hard time getting out of bed. Their is days that I don’t want to do anything either. But thank God I do have my significant other that helps me around the house now, he does the cleaning washing cleaning around the house etc. I do have my family my kids but even if I have them they don’t care how I feel right now. I have to be in my depression alone I do get medication from my regular Dr and my psychiatrist but it doesn’t seem to be working at all, because I feel the same way. I been receiving counseling but I feel like I just talk and talk and I’m not getting anywhere. I don’t know if you are receiving any type of support from any professionals right now?
trust me I know it’s hard I’m going through it myself and it feels horrible not having anyone to turn to and feeling so alone. But let me tell you that you are not alone if you need a friend or someone to vent to I’m here for you. I know it’s hard to communicate here, because the only way we can is through the threads or if you have a listeners account. Otherwise just comment through here. I hope we can connect and we can help each other out.

Hi ty for your honest sharing. I'm new here but already feel encouraged by being here. It's good to be heard.
I lost fam n friends n am just over 50yo. I may lose my housing. Trying to be thankful for one thing today. This group, this coffee, the fact I got to sleep in a bed last night and that I have what I need in this moment. I want to be thankful now for what little I have. Ty for listening
