Bad bout of depression
H everyone. I'm a 47 year old male dealing with depression. I have had depression for several years now, and have been on several Rx for it over the years. There is no situational reason for me to be depressed. I'm happily married with wonderful children, and have a great career which I love and it pays well. But I still have depression. I've read dozens of self-help books on depression. I'm in the midst of a bad depression now; for the past month or so it has been much worse than normal. Thanks for listening.
Hi, do you have a moment that you felt like a lot of things have been missed out in your life? Or you do not have the encouragement to understand yourself regarding what you really want?
Depression is not easy to get rid of. I share your experience that there is no sign or shouldn't even have a reason to be depressed. However still we stuck there, being depressed.
Welcome here, keep doing well, and keep seeking answers, bless you.
hi and welcome. i have struggled with depression my entire life, regardless of my situation. i've heard "what's wrong with your life?" too many times to count. i haven't been here long, but so far, i've found the community here to be very understanding. the resources are really good too. so i wish you good learning!
Hello, I'm sorry to hear your in the midst of a bout of depression, it's a dark place. I've suffered from that and anxiety/panic attacks for as long as I can remember. I can put mine down to trauma in the past, so not knowing where your depression stems from must be more frustrating. I too have a virtual library of self help books, hypnosis CD's, etc.....I think I've made a lot of self help authors rich. But it's still there. Wish I knew the answer, wish I had the cure(I'd give the cure to everyone free).
What has helped (Somewhat) is meditation, but it's the discipline to do it every day that defeats me. I wish you well and hope you feel better soon.
Brian
