Depressed for months and can't shake it...help! Suggestions PLEASE!

What worked and still works for me is to do ONE little thing. Look back at that and be proud and go forward. Go to the store and buy something you like and then go ahead and cherish that. Try to do a little more every day or so.

hope you feel better soon.

Hi Sunny,

I am glad you found us. There are many things you can do to help yourself. Go for walks. That helps physically and mentally. Learn mindfulness. mindful.org. It helps you to focus on the now.

You may need a complete physical by your doctor. Do you take medications? Do you go to therapy? Even if it is hard to get out of the house, try to do these things.

And yes, do something nice for you. You deserve it.

I hope you get to feeling better soon. Keep posting as that helps too.

Welcome to the forum.

Hugs, Karen...

Believe me I can empathize with you. I was like that also for a whole year (crying daily, feeling tired, not wanting to go out, etc. but I finally went to see the doctor. Have you spoken to your doctor about your condition? I began praying and reading the Bible but physically was still very out of control of my emotions.
It was the hardest thing for me to admit I needed help. I kept thinking it would get better but it didn't. I was given medications (for Depression and for anxiety) which I reluctantly took and it has helped by giving me lots of energy to do the things I need to do in the day, i.e. errands, projects, combing my hair and dressing, basic things like that. At first the medication may make you feel "funny" but by the third day or so your body will adjust. See a doctor, if your haven't already, they will know what types of questions to ask and can recommend medications to treat it so you can at least be more in control of your life rather than Depression/anxiety being in charge of your life.
You will be so relieved afterwards that you discussed it with your doctor.
