Hey! Im Phen
Hey, just thought I would introduce myself. Ive suffered from life long depression, and recently it took hold, and I cant seem to get out of bed. Just lost my job, broke up with the girl I love, and generally dont know what I am going to do. Been unable to move for almost a week now. If anyone knows any way of tricking myself out of the house please let me know.
Well Pen it sounds like you are at the perfect point in your life to make a change. I think you should definitely focus on reducing the depression so you can be happy. I mean if you are that depressed you are going to find it hard to give loved ones (in your case ex gf) the attention and support they need. Often times they feel like you just don't care b/c they don't get it. Definitely talk with your doc about your depression if you havent already and keep talking things through with the listeners here on 7 Cups.
Now that quite a bit of time has passed, I'd love to hear how things are going - were you able to make that change you were looking for? Are you feeling more settled or are things still quite difficult?
