I stay so depressed all the time. I am sick of it. My Dh is constantly telling me that I need to get out of this hole that I am in. He tells me that my depression is driving him nuts. I am a huge worry wart. I worry about everything..I mean everything. I am actually driving myself crazy. I even get depressed about my depression. I dont know what to do. There are alot of positive things in my life but the negative ones seem to outnumber the positive. For once, I would just love to relax a little. Any ideas?
I know how you feel ... I am like that every day ... I am always worried about every little detail, plus it doesn't help that I am severe BiPolar with very erratic mood swings ...
Something that tends to help me is coming on here to help others and listen to others vent and give them many hugs ... also I find that having a bath once in awhile helps calm me down and just cuddling and wathicng movies with my hunny helps too!
Good Luck in finding at least some peace and I hope you feel better mentally soon.
Boy, I wish I worried about stuff. My biggest struggle right now is that I don't seem to even CARE about anything.
I don't have trouble relaxing, I have trouble moving. And by nature I am not lazy, at least I never thought I was. But recently, it takes everything I've got to get up off of the couch.
Any suggestions for that?

PS: Corrie--are you getting married on September 4th? If so, you'll be sharing my anniversary. My DH and I were married on September 4th, 1999!!!

I have been feeling upset, depressed recently, and wanted to try and relax, try pampering yourself, I have been buying face packs, putting them on and just laying down chilling out, it has made a great difference, and made me feel a little better!
take care ((((((((((()))))))))))

I feel the same as you many times...especially being depressed about being depressed. But it is such a waste of time. You should see about getting on an anti-depressant. I am on Celexa and it works very well. Many people with PCOS have depression...severely so you should check around and see what others are on. I have heard that Wellbutrin works wonders. You should also see about doing yoga or acupuncture. I know it sounds crazy but it could really relax you. I am really into aromatherapy and those things. Aromatherapy baths are amazing. Do little things to lift your spirits. Don't waste your life away being miserable, you will come to regret it. SMILE!!!
I am not doing good today at all. This is the worst feeling day that I have had in awhile. Dh was off work today and has been on me constantly to cheer up and smile. I keep telling him thats hard when you have nothing to smile about. I know it hurts his feelings but what am I supposed to do. Besides going to the bathroom, this is the first time that I have come out of my room all day. I am at my wits end...money is getting so tight. Dh is wanting to go to Florida to find work. His dad lives there and he would have a place to stay. I have to stay here and finish my semester in school. It ends in December. I just dont know what that will do to our relationship. Please help me with this. I have had suicidal thoughts all day but I cant tell hubby that.
Hey, sweetie. Are you under the care of a Dr. or therapist? You are really sounding so sad I'm sorry. I do understand how you feel. Wish I could help. It's awful to worry about things you can do nothing about, but not be able to quit worrying. Kinda of a viscious circle. And, when our loved ones don't understand that makes it even worse. Those who haven't suffered from depression/anxiety don't understand, but they do love us...they just don't know how to help. But, all I can do is reach out a hand and send a hug. Please take care of yourself, and seek a litttle bit of help. Please, come out or allow someone into your world so they can help you. I know $ may be tight, but maybe you can check into a low cost therapist according to income, a pastor/priest or even talk to a friend. Be kind to yourself. You deserve to be happy. And, like Corrie says, breath. Get the oxygen into your body and exhale all the negative bad thoughts. It does help you relax a little bit. Let us know how you're doing. PM me if you need to talk, or send me an e-mail. We care. Hugs, Lendi

Thanks Lendi, I am not currently talking to anyone but I probably need to be. I need to be on something to relax me. Last night Dh treated me to a swimming trip at a motel near our home. We swam in the pool for awhile and went to the spa before we left. It really did take some of the pressure off for a time. I just feel bad again today. Why is it so temporary? I start back to school on the 18th and I think thats a lot of it. Hubby doesnt want to continue living here because he thinks we can move and do better. Since I am going to school, I cant move right now. So, I feel like I am holding him back. Thats the problem and I dont know how to solve it.
Hi MC,
Gosh,I can relate so much.I don't have the suicidal thoughts but geez,I do feel sooooo crappy most of the time.
I am in KY too if you ever need anyone ok.
I can call you or whatever you need.
I will be thinking of and praying for you.

I am really hurt right now...I thought Dh understood at least a little what I am going through. THe past few days I havent been able to keep myself out of the kitchen. I keep snacking, and snacking from my nerves. I know hubby gets tired of hearing me talk and complain about my weight all the time. He came storming into the kitchen and mouthing off to me. I turned my back to him so I couldnt see the anger in his eyes. Do you know what he did to get my attention? He said that I would feel better if I didnt sit around the house and eat all day. That hurt me so bad. I know it probably was the truth and thats probably why it stung. He apologized all night long but it really made me see how he feels about things. That was a crude way of getting my attention but in a way I am glad he said it because it woke me up. I just now got to find out how to make my emotional eating go away.

... also I find that having a bath once in awhile helps calm me down and just cuddling and wathicng movies with my hunny helps too!
