I wish I could Shaz, but I just don't know.
And everything is too much for me right now. Everything is too big an effort.

dawny, sounds to me like you are very depressed could you maybe go and see your gp?

dawnylou

I can't. I can't make it happen!!
I should be, I have everything I could possibly want so I don't understand why I have to be like this. Why can't I just get on with my life? This has gone on for so long now that I have given up hope of this 'light' everybody talks of.

Shaz I am not due back at the docs until around the 21st Dec.
A new doctor as well. I hope she is nice. I liked my last one. She had a motherly feel to her somehow.

I had my first session with a counsellor the other day, but I have felt drained and emotional since.

i go to my first counselling session next week, so i dont know how it goes, but i'm guessing that you talk about issues that are troubling you or have troubled you in the past, and talking about them has brought them to the front of your mind?

Dawnylou - sorry you are having such a hard time. I know that feeling all too well, and I've often felt that there was no hope for me. I could see hope for everyone else, but not for me. It might not help, but tell yourself that the lack of hope is a symptom of your depression, and there really is hope. If you are feeling low, you can go back to your GP sooner. If it is hurting too much, go back and let them know. Keep talking about how you feel. I know it hurts, but sometimes things do hurt and we just have to go through them. Just try and focus on putting in the right actions, and the right things will happen. Eat well, wash everyday, dress, get outside, exercise, write down how you feel, meditate, pray and talk to us here. It sounds simple, but it really does help. It can take a while, but you will start to feel better. Looking back, I'm amazed at how much those things have helped me.
