depression (Page 2) wayne elliott: I too had a horrible childhood and the weight of depression threatened all facets of life, but I found the doctor experience xtremely frustrating when finally approaching it at 45. Glad to read you have found an answer that helps you - and actually has a double function. Did the doctor say anything about your whiskers and ears? electrician25hr: QB deep breathing excersizes help ALOT with anxiety. Find out the right technique on how to do deep breathing excersizes and try it, it helps for me. Anxiety is caused by past bad experiences and a chemical brain imbalance. Queen Bee55: Thank you Love. I have been managing it better. I just have problems with change, even though it is good changes. I just doubt myself easily. wayne elliott: Yes QB, change can be very confronting, and it threatens to disrupt whatever method we have in place to cope with the world and upsets the delicate balance. My parents taught me I was of no consequence and that I could never amount to anything - despite my obvious ability with several artistic pursuits. In the real world I was surprised how well recieved my efforts were. Unfortunately the ingrained negativity undermined all that, and when something failed it was devastating. My attitude now is one of 'who cares anymore' after putting in a life-long exhausting effort to fix something they broke. Art is still my escape. electrician25hr: Life IS changing all the time. Imagine how boring life would be if it was the same thing day after day? rubie26: have suffered post natel depression half the time you dont realy now just how bad it is but if you are able to own up to it you are brave !!, please try to seek help and counsling try to open up as much as possible dont let it get the the point where you have suicidal thoughts , medication may be away to help aswell but if you dont want to be medicated then there are other alternatives ! good luck hope you get back on track happy to listen if any one ever needs to have a vent SuperNovanika85: Depression runs through my dad's side of the family. I'm married now and have a puppy- and I exercise a fuckin lot- go hiking, camping, mt biking, snowboarding, kayaking- and socialize with people at the dog park. Staying active & knowing someone who loves you will sorta cure it.. lifting weights! (also keep yourself busy with work) (Edited by SuperNovanika85) wayne elliott: Depression runs in my family too, and Super is right about having something to occupy you - something that you love to do. Animals are a great source of unconditional love and will never judge you.

Good luck and you are not alone. classylady61: Everybody has a depress time in their life. It is natural but you have to know when to ask for help and don't be too shame to ask. | Health Chat Room Similar Conversations |
