I will have weekly meetings with an EWU counselor starting on Monday. It should be good. I started thinking about killing myself again last night...I mentally wrote a suicide note. It scares the shit out of me to think/feel like this. I need to get better. I have to. I can't live like this. If they want me to try pills then I will. All I know for ( Read more... )

Don't ever hate yourself for getting tired. Trust me, you wear yourself out quicker. You'd merely have to look at how big the depression tag is on my LJ to see how much time I've spent in sadness and depression... and pondering how I should make it stop.

I did figure out how to move past that. I had some help, but if you would like to talk sometime I can tell you how I started to build a foundation within myself that has never failed me... without drugs.

As a seeker of truth I have to say that what worked for me won't necessarily work for you, but I know that all paths towards healing build off of the same essential principles. Just remember, be here now, it's a process, not words to be listened to. It takes as long as it takes, but slowly but surely works better than a band-aid.

I hope the best for you as always.

My mom had depression for a great deal of her adult life - I'd say around 15 years. I had depression for a couple years myself.

All I can say is that although it's just a state of mind, it's one that we often can't help but be stuck in. Prayer (or meditation, whatever floats your boat) helps, but I also am gonna have to endorse antidepressants. My uncle has depression and refuses to take them, but I know they certainly worked for my mom and I when we needed them. Don't feel bad to take them, they can really help.

Finally, you definitely may want to look at the IUD. This doesn't sound like you, and it turns out a lot of my mom's depression may have been due to undiagnosed thyroid issues. Health can play a big role :/

I hope you feel better soon.. No matter what, I know you WILL feel better again. It's a question of sooner or later, not if :)
