Confused about life

Dear KittyKat and netty, Don't give up. I still believe you will get through this and everything will be OK. As I said, I have suffered from depression since I was 5 (maybe) and now I'm 29. It took me a few years to find the med that worked best for me. At first, I still didn't think I had any mental problem. I thought it was all my excuse of being weak. After taking effexor for two weeks now, I feel much better. Please don't be too hard on yourself. Be patient. I understand you completely how you feel. KittyKat Find a doctor in your area and talk to her/him about how you feel and let us know how you feel. netty I think it doesn't work to try to tell them you suffer from depression. They won't understand you. Similar thing also happened to me before. My sister think I was weak. It's important that you know what you feel and be honest with yourself. Everything will be OK. Love Aim

Kitty, It sounds like you and I are basically in the same boat. I am sending you a hug now and you will be in my thoughts. Its very hard to be completely honest with a therapist but sometimes being honest with how you are feeling or felt helps to work on dealing with these feelings. I also have noone but my husband to talk to. My best friend, who really helped me fight my depression and actually convinced me it was OK to go out of the house, passed away 5 years ago. She was the one person I could trust with all of my thoughts and feelings. Since she passed away I now write to her and include my thoughts and feelings in this journal. I am sure Diane is reading this while I write and sometimes I can hear her giving me advice. Long story short, I have come to find that taking time to write in a journal about my day helps me get things "off my chest". Maybe you could try this. Just so you know, my sister did not joke about my depression, instead told me I just wanted attention. Everyone seems to respond to this differently. My brother-in-law is extremely cruel since learning of my depression and we have since had to sever contact with him and his family as well. Netty

Netty, Thanks for the response. I have weekly therapy sessions and take Wellbutrin & Prozac. I have nobody other than my therapist to discuss these things with. Even with her I am not completely honest. I guess I feel bad and shamed for being this way. I tried to tell my sister that I was depressed and she kinda made a joke out of it. I am so afraid to let anyone inside of my wall. The worse for me is when I am leaving work and driving home. I feel empty and worthless. I let myself cry, scream and ask why over and over in the car. I make sure I dry my eyes and look normal when I walk in the door. I am not sure why I have to keep this "perfect" appearance to others, but it's killing me. I am so afraid right now. I just want someone to hug me and love me unconditionally. Kitty Edited on 12/7/2004 @ 7:56:33 PM by The Support Team

kitty, Try your local listings. This may be of some assistance. Also try your doctor. They may have a list of groups in your area, or therapists that can also be of some assistance. Hope this helps, Josie __________________________________ The Depression Center Support Team

Hi KittyKat, I also have been living with depression and anxiety since my childhood. I was molested for many years and at one point was held at gun point by my step father and told it was my time to die (the same step father who molested me). I wish there was a happy pill that would make this all go away and let us feel "normal", whatever that is, but instead we must perservear (sp?). I understand you are in therapy but am unsure if you are taking any meds. Do you have any support group to talk to (family, friends, etc). If so, I would access this circle and reap the rewards (if there are any). I also wanted to die and since I smoke I wished cancer would hurry up and take me away from this misery. That hasn't happened and I have since gone on to set daily goals. When my depression is at its worse my goal may be just to get showered or dressed. Other times my goal is to walk to the mailbox and check for mail. Sometimes something like walking to the mailbox is too much so I stick with just getting dressed. Anyway, the point is this helps me focus on my goals and take my mind off of the death that I wish for. I hope this helps some. Please keep us posted as to how you are doing! PS. I have also found that a B-12 shot each week helps with my energy level. How much this helps with depression I am not sure. Please take care of yourself, Netty

Hi all, it's me again feeling really scared inside. I have been trying to put positive reinforcing thoughts in my head every day, but it isn't working. Every morning I wake up and say "it's a new day, take it slowly", but as the day progresses, things get worse and worse. My depression seems to get the best of me. What can I do to keep my mood semi stable througout the day? I feel like throwing my hands in the air and just saying "I give up". I feel like I can't go on like this any longer. Also, not sure where most of you are from, but does anyone know of some kind of depression or codependency support groups in the Los Angeles area? Kitty

Hi KittyKat, This is wonderful news! Thank you so much for sharing with us. You being able to see some light in your life will be inspiring for many other members on the site too! Looking forward to hearing from you again, Casey ___________________________________ The Depression Center Support Team

Thank you all for your words of comfort. I feel like the storm is starting to pass and the sun will shine again. I hate feeling so bad, and this time I was scared because I really wanted to die. This morning I realized that I don't want to die and have to do something about helping myself. I will try to keep positive thoughts in my mind. Thanks again! Kitty

Dear Kitty, I also have been suffering from depresssion since my childhood. I understand you all too well how much you feel like ending your life and ending all the stuff goin on in your head. Please be patient Kitty. It's important that you keep your doctor informed about how each medication is to you. For my case, it took about one year or two to find the best medication for me, that is effexor. People respond differently to different medicine, so please be patient. People here are very kind-hearted and I'm sure they will be here to give you advice when you need it. Just hang in here. Aim from Thailand

KittyKat, Welcome to the site! This is a great place to share your feelings and experiences of panic and anxiety. Please feel free to roam the site at your own pace. If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find many supportive tests. These tests are not diagnostic tools and are not a replacement or substitute for a physicians advice. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When youre finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor. We also have developed a Panic Program. This program is 12-weeks and involves the tools mentioned above. Each session is based on the previous session, so we strongly advise that you work slowly through the program and not jump ahead. If you have any questions or concerns with our "TOOLS" you can contact our support department at support@paniccenter.net. Suicide is never the answer. If you continue to have these negative feelings, contact you doctor or go to your local emergency department immediately. Angela _____________________________ The Panic Center Support Team
