Hello everyone !

First time posting. I have been depressed on and off for very long time now and i just have reached my breaking point. I have lost pretty much everything and not sure what do or where to go. I dont understand why i cant get on my feet. I have a son i need to be strong for and i cant do it.. I want to lay in bed an cry all day. I have lost the energy to fight.

Welcome to the board sweetie!

Do you have a therapist that you can talk to? Have you considered medications? Both of these really help. I would discuss how you have been feeling with your doctor.

I can understand that tired feeling, we all experience that with depression.

I am sure the other ladies can offer some more suggestions.

Take care

Hi, Ariel


welcome to the board......

I would try to find a therapist to talk to sometimes you have to go thru a bit of them before you find one that is right for you, I got lucky on my first try, plus seeing a therapist goes hand and hand witht the meds since there is someone you can talk to openly with it has been a huge relief for me since I really dont trust alot of people in my life it always makes me happy when I go to see my therapist every wednesday.

Meds for me have helped out alot not completly but when at times I would loose my self the meds have kicked in and I have stayed in control other aspecs of myself I have to learn to work on myself.

You said you lost everything what has led up to all of this if you dont mind me asking and if you dont want to answer thats okay.

So you have any family to help you out at all a good support system anything like that?

This board has a bunch of great women on it and we have all been where you are in one way or another you are not alone come here often post alot you will see how womderful these women are.

Take car of yourself I hope to hear from you soon.

I know i need therapy i just having to go and go thru my problems over and over. I know i need the help though.

I am a sinlge mother of a 4yr old and money is tight. My car just broke down and i have no way of fixing it and i cant think straight to figure out what to do. I also met a guy who i thought was the one. but i am so emtionally needy that he couldnt deal with it so now i am left alone and unloved again. I dont know how to deal with that.

i try to be strong for my son but i cant do it.

my family doesnt really understand me and i cant keep explaining myself to them.

It sometimes takes alot of tries to find the right therapist. Would you consider trying to see another one?
