Feeling Depressed Daily?

[Lit1116]

Is it unusual to feel depressed every single day?  There are highs and lows with me.  I want to learn from this community and not feel like I am so alone dealing with this health issue.  Thanks in advance for your support and repllies.  This site is really amazing!!

Honey Im so sorry you are feeling so bad.  I have been there about 4 years ago and I did come through it, and I promised myself I would never ever go back there.  I did go on anti depressants and am still on them, they help so much and I did have councelling through my occupational health department, this also helped.

I made adjustments to my work and homelife and wrote down each day things that got me down or worried me, it wa fab just like by getting it on paper cleared my mind.

I do still get down, especially with all this nhs rubbish and getting diagnosis but I no I can never let it get me to where I was 4 years ago.  It was a very lonely and dark place.

Sending you huge hugs

I'm feeling like this more and more latley, i seem to go over and over in my mind everything that is wrong in my life, literally i'll dream of the things that i hate about my life, and i get down and down, but i do try and block those thoughts, but they creep up like a plant growing up a house,  everyone says to me, well just turn things around think of your self and be content with your life as it is!! I do try to but the negative thoughts creep in....

I know i need help, proper help, but everyone around me thinks im justa  miserable cow!

i never used to really believe in depression, and now, well, i'm smack bang in the middle of it.

Depressed daily is not normal,youre probably having a clinical depression,do you have help therapy,meds?it can greatly help,lily

yes, it is "unusual" to feel depressed every day.  Depression can stem from a number of things.  From just a little chemical imbalance, to a tramatic experience in your life.  I have delt with depression for many years thinking it was just a chemical imbalance, but it turns out certain things in my life have really effected me more than I thought.  I really recommend some sort of therapy.  I'd reccommend that to anyone out there in the world becuase we all need someone to help us sort out our heads.  We all need guidence and support sometimes and you've come to the right community.  You are certainly not alone, depression is actually a very common thing.  Reaching out to people is a great step, and I encourage you to keep doing that! I wish you well
