Hi all,
First time been on here, but seems best place for me to start and talk to people who seems to have gone through similar things. I've been suggesting with depression for the past 5 months this time round. Had it 2006-2009 before. But now things seem different. Today the doctors have upped my dose I'm on to see if helps me more. Can't belive how low I feel

Thanks for your replies, I'm not sure really what started it all off again but I got to stage of constant crying and hating myself. I split with my fella in October after 5 years as I felt I hadn't really got much of a life anymore with out being questioned all the time. I don't seem to enjoy doing anything anymore and Christmas this year to me was nothing, was just like another day even though I spent it with my best friend and her children. Some days I don't feel like getting up and days I do I end up feeling on the go all the time and never stop. Just can't seem to see end of the tunnel at the min

Depression is just a constant battle that you'll have to fight, even in your lowest, find people and psycologists who can support you. It's also important learning to tell the difference between your thoughts and the negative thoughts of depression... even if you think they're yours... it's hard to overcome... but you can do it... just don't give up :) Talk to your health team about advice or give a bit more information so we can help :) keep smiling

Hello and welcome to the forum,

Depression is such a delicate thing to battle.  If you want to give a little more information it would be easier to give some advise....

What type of depression have you been diagnosed with?
Does your depression get worse in the winter?
Did you go from 2009 till recently without long periods of depression?
Do you work anywhere?
Can you think of anything that has changed in the last 5 months that may be effecting the depression?

Anyway there are a few questions.  Give as much or as little information as you wish but know that you will get better advise and help if you disclose a little more.  I wish you luck and I hope you get to feeling better.
