Depression

Hi, mom of 3 here! I totally get you.. it's hard when you have people around but you're lonely.. and you struggle to get out of bed but you have these little ones that you need to take care of.. I don't know if there is point of me telling you that it will get better, but every day that you fight and you manage to wake up and eat something, and just go through the day is a win! Take it slow, and if you can ask for professional help.. 🤍🤍🤍

Hi♥️, I'm sorry to hear about some of these things you are going through. With the childhood trauma , depression, anxiety, mood disorders it's no wonder that everyday get a difficult and life seems hard at times. These things are very hard to face and overcome. I truly understand how hard it is to get out of bed and take care of our little ones when everyday seems to repeat over and I over again like it does when we are stay at home moms dealing with these illnesses. I do admire the fact that you came out here and are looking for ways to cope and confront your emotions, that takes strength and courage. Seems to me you're heading in the right direction to defeat these monsters that make our lives difficult and try to take over our mood and happiness. Have you found any new strategies to cope better, I'd love to hear about them? What have you been doing recently to help get you through the day?

Hi, I am a teenager. I have been feeling depressed for months are even years. probably since 2nd grade. But I kept it to myself and hid it from my parents and family. That is the one thing I regret. Talking about it to someone is the best thing to do when you have any type of depression. So, if anyone needs to talk to about it to someone just to let you know that I am here. I might not be a listener on this website, but we could give each other advise form experience, you are not alone. Just because you are surrounding in darkness, doesn't mean the light isn't here with us. We just have to take small brave steps to it.

I am in a very similar circumstance & I can really empathize with how you feel. It can seem so daunting parenting while depressed or anxious. I am sending love and peace your way. I find that breathing exercises & doing things like word searches & other simple things help me to stay calm and lighter emotionally.

@Melindaann I can completely understand how you feel, it can be so depleting to experience these emotions on a daily basis. It also sounds like you have your hands full. I have been at the same place that you are at, and I understand the struggle. I would love to talk about this more if you would like that too, please request a chat and I can share with you some resources that I have found helpful. Please know that you are very strong and you can overcome anything :)

Hi, I hear you are seeking support for anxiety and depresson and I can empathise with you on that, the feeling of not wanting to get out of bed everyday whilst in depression is something I have experienced in my life. I have been there and know how you may feel, thankfully I feel much better now so if you would like to drop me a message I'm happy to talk and listen to you and perhaps help you understand your feelings and triggers. I have also experienced anxiety and have been able to eventually conquer that personally too so I think I would be able to listen to you and empathise with how you feel. Hope you have a great day and do please drop me a message if you feel like it. <3
