I had major depressive disorder. Doctor diagnosed me. I never left the bed, showered once every two weeks. Did nothing. Then I got a goal to read philosophy books. Meds didn’t really help. I’m good now. Think it was more circumstantial. Losing my job, no money, no lady, living in a dump. Probably contributed to it.

Yeah I’m on Luvox and it helps. Also a mood stabilizer so I don’t get too depressed or too manic.

I get you. I have that diagnosis. I get the depression more than mania.

Lol, I was wondering why you had 3.14 in your tagline, then i read your name again haha :]

I have depression too, mostly because of the disability effect of sz. unless i can overcome the disability, I’ll probably always be depressed

Yes my circumstance have been worse lately. I’m usually low mood and suicidal several days a month, this has been ongoing for 15 years despite trying different meds.

Recent weeks i cannot bring myself to watch any tv, i lay on sofa everyday with thoughts. I listen to music everyday briefly which is something. I rarely leave the flat.

Ive worried about hubbys operations, hubbys insomnia and my benefits, these have been major things recently.

Now i feel flat and low but i dont want to go into hospital not that the mh would offer it anyway, but theres lots of severeness in hospital in uk nowadays. No more mild to moderate cases, there all extremely off their head to be admitted.

Tw

Hubby is keeping all my meds hidden so that doesnt leave me many options when i do get suicidal again which is scary for me because i see all black when im suicidal and cant ever see a way out

Sorry if this upsets anyone.

But anyway i’ll just have to hope pdoc increases my AD

Talk to hubby more

And persevere i guess?

do you have a pdoc you can reach? he/she may be able to make you feel better by putting you on the right track.

the winter blues may pass as the sun and spring bring better times.
