That's just the nature of the disease. Most people that suffer Major Depression (myself included) also suffer from severe anxiety.
I know it really *****. Your current emotions are consistant with Depression. When I get bad I get very clingy with my wife. Some people respond by withdrawling away from their spouse, but I draw closer.
The worst part about this disease is that it never goes away. It's like it's always there and even when you feel a little better you keep thinking "when is it going to grab me hard again?"
Are you on meds? With meds I can keep it almost completly a bay, but I still know it's there just trying to get out.
I can't beleive it's almost 2010 and pills are all they have. Still no cure. Maybe in my daughters life, but probably not in mine
I agree with Hensley258 meds are a good start (to some that is) but also you might want a therapist who you can talk to and get things off your chest. I know when I hold things in it makes things alot worse and me alot more irratiable. I am in the midst of divorcing my husband for many reason, but I too also was clingy. Like now as the dark and depressing winters come here in Ohio I get more moody and shut in. I basically hibernate like some old bear. lol But for me mine is more serious I have agorophobia with my deperssion. So unlike me maybe you could find a good friend outside the home to talk to or just hang out with. I know if I had someone to share things with it would help me out alot, but I am still waiting for that someone. And yes I take alot out on who is anywhere near me, even my 2 children, but they have learned throughtout there years that mommie doesn't mean it and 99% of the time I come back and apologize. So in all I don't have a cure, but just some sugesstions from my life experiences. Not much, but hope somethings helps. If you need to talk to contact me, your friend, April
Thanx 4 the advice. Yeah I mite just look into meds and therapy when it is available to me. Thanx 4 being so caring :)
