Their are many in things in this world which annoy us and we wish we could live with out. As a result of depression it is life itself i wish i could live without. I cant help my self. I live an above average life with things and people that should make me the happiest person on Earth, but alas depression has sucked all the good out of me. Its hard for others to understand how hard it is to live a life, trying to be happy, and trying to trick yourself into thinking your happy, when you simply cant. Depression sucks. It has sucked much of my happiness from me. Then i think to myself what in my world i have to be thankful for and what to live for. My little sister is my reason to keep going. What are your reasons?

Remembering to look up when you are falling down, helps forget your reasons for falling down.

Gnomegirl,

there are many coping skills you can use to lighten the load of depression in your life.

Mindfulness, DBT, CBT etc... review the Resource thread at the top of our forum for suggestions and links.

Peace

Hi Gnomegirl,

Welcome to the forum. There are so many little things in life to appreciate. Just look around. You will find them. One day at a time and live in the moment. Keep trying.

Hugs, Karen...

Hi gnomegirl,

 I found out that there is going to be a mindfulness class beginning in the middle of Oct. in my neighborhood. I live in Colorado Springs, but you might find something like that in your neighborhood. I battle depression and I have so much to be thankful for. I need to practice positive thinking. I am on meds and would like to get off them. I've heard many good things about mindfulness and CBT. Happy thought's, Dee

Thank you, Trina. I have saved the poem Breath on my computer. It is beautiful. I'm reading " Search Inside Yourself", Chade-Meng Tan. This would also be a great book for someone that is having stress at work. :0)

Yes, Dee it is a beautiful inspiring poem.

Thanks for the FYI on the book, I am sure it will help someone out. I will look into and hopefully posted on the resource page.

Peace

I agree, depression sucks. 

I've sat here for five minutes trying to figure what to write next, but I think depression sucks says it best.

Stacey, yes depression can be a handful and hard to deal with. However, we can lessen the load and the "suckiness" with coping skills on a daily basis.

Just have to work at it, some days harder that others. Find what works for you.

Hope you are feeling better soon.

Peace and courage
Trina
