It's seems to b a battle I'm losing. I have been on many mess and even tried ect treatments. I have four daughters 2of which are married and the other two ages 14 n 7. I try to put on a strong face for them but I'm dying I side. My husband has left nearly a year ago, he says he still loves me but he won't come back. I just don't know what to do anymore

You need to start a new life with your daughters. One day at a time though. Changes are hard, but we keep living. What about a new job, or going back to school? Would that be something you would consider? I think you need something to occupy your mind... You can do this!!!

I'm doing the best I can with the girls. With all my medical problems I can't work. I use to b a nurse, which was my passion. I love working in the yard but now it's too cold n when I do it can only b in short periods. I walk when my joints aren't flared up so bad. Sometimes I just get mad n do whatever I want but then end up paying for it for many days. I feel like I'm cheating the. Girls out of so much but I can only do what I can do

What coping skills to you use? Medications can not do all the work all the time. We as patients need to own the depression and fight it with cognitive skills.

I use mindfulness, meditation, journaling, art and music.

We have a resource thread at the top of the forum that is about 5 pages long with lots of information.

I can't walk much due to the weather. I often kick on some music and dance (only when alone though). It helps get the endorphins going... Do you have arthritis? Do you take anything for pain? Just wondering. If you could get the pain down, you would be able to walk more I am sure. I have fibromyalgia and that puts a damper on a lot of things.

What about art? Do you do any crafts? I like to crochet, paint and draw...

I hope your day gets better for you...

Hi Trina!!!
