My life right now
I’m tired mentally, really the only reason I stick around in life is for my daughters. I honestly most the time am depressed and in pain. My relationships and everything in my life suffers because of dealing with depression, I’ve tried antidepressants, but they don’t seem to change anything. I can barely get enough money or time to try out any alternative treatments. I’m supporting a family right now working a job I am very tired of. At times, I just want to sleep forever
@1lonelybanana I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. If anti depressants haven’t worked for you that isn’t surprising. Dr. David Burns book, Feeling Good has been used by people to fight their depression effectively without having to see a therapist. It has been a tremendous help to me. I still get depressed, but for only a short period of time (minutes or hours but not days or weeks). I suggest you check out his book. He has a newer version titled, Feeling Great, but I thought the original was more clear. Below is a link to a TED talk that features Dr. Burns. It’s short (20 minutes) but gives a good introduction to Dr. Burns and how he developed his treatment.
Thank you, I watched most of that video, and it does help
