Anyone else here struggle with depression?

Question

And what do you do to cope?
Im having another one of those "cant even get out of bed" days

Answer

I struggle with depression and anxiety every single day. I'm not on meds because my parents never wanted me on them and as I moved out and turned 18 I just have never made an appointment for it. I have some really bad days but I also have good days. On the bad days I have to remind myself what I would be doing to my loved ones if I ever committed suicide. What would my fiancé think? Would he even be able to function? What about my mom and dad? Having to bury their baby. It wouldn't be fair to them just because I couldn't take it anymore. 
Just try to keep your loved ones in mind.

Answer

I have sever bipolar and anxiety. I have a lot of depressed days.i have been dealing with it for 6 years now. I have taken manymedications but none worked. The best things i have done to help were exercise and find things like movies or games or something like that that makes you happy to do. Alsowhen you get really upset, eat fresh fruit. That always helps me

Answer

I suffer from depression. When I'm having a real bad day or days, I just say to myself....just get through THIS day. And if that doesn't help then I shorten it to this few hours, etc. I also think what would my kids do without me?

I tried 2 or 3 meds. They didn't seem to have any effect. One of them made me feel physically horrible. So I try to manage without any meds. Some people swear by them though. It's just you have to find one that works for you.

I've also done counseling. One time it was great. I really connected with my counselor. I've also had a few flops. Again, that's about finding one you connect with and can help you.

Good luck! And know you are definitely not alone.
