Im falling back into depression again. and it feels as if i wont make it this time. but thats exactly how i felt last time too. at the core, if im anything, im a fighter. so quitting goes against everything i stand for and believe in. But its been a really long battle, with no rest. and i feel so tired of fighting all the time. its starting to feel like an unwinnable fight. a fight without an end, doomed to go on and on till i give up. all i want is a little peace. a moment where i feel like im not fighting for my life.

I get this way some time and I think of all that I have to live for and that is what keeps me going.

I have family, friends and so much more to see that I just refuse to give up. It doesn't seem like it now but you are worth all the fighting you do. Keep going and keep posting, we all care and are here for you as well.

Stay strong.

Hi RD,

It can feel that way at times...and it is so hard because A/D alters our perception. When our chemistry is out of balance things can seem so negative...when in reality, we are making progress...and good things are just around the corner.

Doing all you can...getting a med evaluation...learning some new self help tools...revisiting previously helpful techniques is of course a goal...

...but sometimes even in spite of doing these, we also have to just perservere through the challenges, knowing they are temporary and will pass.

We are here with you during this time...keep posting as needed, okay?

I am so so sorry you are ill. I know what it's like to feel like there is no end, no end to depression or anxiety. Looking back as how sick I was for so many years, it's amazing I made it through.

I prayed a lot, journaled a lot, took my meds (even though they really didn't help much), went to therapy appts, and kept trying different meds for years. After trying and trying, I found something that helped the depression and found 1 single med that helped my crushing anxiety.

My anxiety is better, my depression is better (but not totally gone) and I thank god every day that I can enjoy my life.


just keep fighting, we are here for you.

How are you doing? What will make you feel good? Learning how to help yourself begins by knowing what helps.

Whenever I feel myself slipping I always feel like "oh I won't make it out even though I did last time," and that's just FEAR talking.

Try to think of what you need...if that's peace, what makes you feel peaceful? What has you depressed, specifically?
