 how do you come out of this? these feelings seem to be getting worse and more frequent.

Hello Edwina!!!

Randy is right, you really do need some professional help. I wonder if you have any chronic disease process happening . . . that can cause fatigue AND depression. I think that lots if not most chronically ill people are dealing with depression as a bonus.

Even if you don't have a chronic process going on, depression very common. A doctor and counselor can make a huge difference in helping you find 'the real you' again.

Keep us posted how you are doing. And . . . yes depression can make you tired (although some people are tired AND have insomnia at the same time).

Blessings!

Yes, when I'm depressed all I want to do is sleep. I can't kill myself because it would hurt my family so I do the next best thing and loose my feelings by sleeping. It's hard to even think of doing anything productive. I'm constantly getting in trouble at school for not doing my assignments because all I want to do is sleep and cry.

Hi,
I have had situational deprseion lately. I have crohn's disease, haven't eaten solid food in 11 months and beinf fed through a tube. I aam 43 years young. the mother of two and grandmother of three. I have been in the hospital 5 times this year alone. I have a chemo port in my chest that is where I take in my liquid food, and pain meds. demerol and morphine. I was just release from ther hospital after a 28 day stay there with a lung embolism which cause my entire right lungs lower lobe to die and a blood clot in my heart. I was depressed and really thought this time I would not return home ever again, because so many things are wrong with me. I have a blockage in my small intestines and need surgery but can't have the surgery becuase I have the nutritional of a child in a third world country. and the doctors said they could get me through the surgery, but they don't think I will heal or ever come home again. Meaning I would most likely die. Now I was thinking about my family everyday and night in the hospital.. I was thinking about my home and everything that is mine. My grandchildren and how much I feel they need their nana ( me). iT WAS so easy to get into a rut, no, More like depression. But then I had to remind myself of all I have. Yes, my medical situtation is terrible, I am very qeak, have had blood transfusions and worry about who's blood is going into my system. Iwas making myself feel sicker with all this deopression and worry. Our thought can take us to the deepest depression. But I had to remember all that I truely have. I have hope in Christ, I have two wonderful kids (grown) a husband that is so good to me and grandkids that are beyound compare. I have to think about positive things even though things look very grim. You ahev to really think about all you yave had and all there is and all there will be. When I feel myself going into that depression I have to keep reminding myself why God put me here. I am here to serve others, To focus on my family, and friends. To try and in my way be a bright spot in someone elses life. I have had a good life. I have a roof over my head. I have collected the things in life that fasinated me. I have traveled, and done things that bring me joy. You have to really take stock and examine what you really do have. I know that all I have been through is making me stronger, even at times I feel so weqak and so tired.
It is so easy to let yourself go to that dark place and feel sorry for yourself and stay in that place. sadly it becomes a comfortable place sometimes and it's easier to stay depressed. We have no energy when we are depressed. But some where inside you , you have the strength to pull yourselof out of this depression. I am keepuing everyone on this site who is depressed in my prayers. I know that if I can go through everything that's going on with me and I PULL OUT OF DEORESSION, i AM PRAYING THE VERY SAME FOR YOU AND EVERYONE HERE. lIFE IS GOOD, AND IT DOES GET BETTER NO MATTER HOW DARK AND ALONE IT SEEMS TO BE. aNYTIME YOU WANT TO CHAT LOOK ME UP. pLEASE tRY Tto see the brighter side. what do you have to live for and wouldn't life be better with a smile ad compassionate friends and family.. Rake care.. gOOD LUCK AND may your depression subside soon... donna

Thank you for your prayers. You will be in my prayers as well. You have such a good attitude. I'm sorry you are having such a hard time medically. But your zest for life is touching and catchy. Thanks for sharing with us.

Ive had clinical depression for a few years now and yes wanting to sleep all the time is a major symptom. You do need proffessional help but it wont help much with the sleeping but will help your downs and how to deal with them.

With regards to the sleeping. You have to get yourself into a routine. The worst thing for it is staying up all night (where i fail) and then sleeping all day. Also becoming more active will help, even if its just a walk around the block or something (getting outside does help).

Goodluck with it.

I do agree that you need help.are you on any kind of meds for your depression.I do hope that you get to feel better soon.
