And So Continues The Daunting Depression

Apr 02 2012

I’ve never felt so lonely in all my life.  I cannot concentrate or focus on anything and every feeling that I have seems to be amplified by like one thousand percent.  I’m tired all during the day and then have trouble going to sleep at night.  I know I need to be strong for my kids but that is so difficult when I am taking seven different medications and they make me nearly nocturnal.  Today, I nodded in and out for two hours because I couldn’t find the energy to get up and get moving.  Luckily I got my kids up and to school but it just feels like I am doing the bare minimum in my life right now and I hate it.  I want to be excelling I want to be enjoying my life and not just sitting around in a drug induced haze watching my life and those I love’s go by.  The depression I am feeling is so daunting and it feels like I am never going to come out of it.  My doctor added Prozac and I am hoping that maybe that will help.  I’m just on so much medication and I think once you get to a certain point the medicine could be doing more harm than good.  I don’t know I just feel crazy and sad and lonely and angry.  I don’t know what to do anymore; I just want to be happy.  I want to be normal and be happy, is that really so much to ask?  I see people out living their lives and wonder why can’t I?  Why can’t that be me?  I just want my life.  I have never been depressed like this and I am also at my heaviest so I feel ugly and horrible on top of all of it.  Every time they put me on a new medication the side effect always seems to be weight gain.  I can’t be fat and unhappy, that just doesn’t fly.  I don’t know what to do anymore,  I wish I weren’t here.  I wish I would just disappear….God I would do anything to just disappear.

Loneliness can cause you to think many things. You are doing the best you can right now. You love your children. This depression is hitting you hard and I'm very sorry for this. I know what it's like to be so low and you feel like you will never come out of it. You will though. You are a strong person. Look at what you have had to live through this far in your life and you are still here functioning. You shouldn't feel like life is just passing you by while on medication. You should just feel level. I think your medications aren't right or you are over medicated. I am thinking though that the antidepressant will help your depression. I really hope it does. Speak to your psychiatrist about how the medications are making you feel. Its' not right the way you are feeling. I too am at my heaviest. That alone is depressing. Once you feel better though, you will be doing more and I think some of the weight will come off. Don't give up, never give up. There is always hope. I do hope you feel better soon.
