In reply to the discussion: I am feeling pretty numb today. Depression sucks life. [View all]MFM008
(20,008 posts)33. I get it
I've been there.
I've been hospitilized.
Believe me. It's been bad.
After the proper medication I've hardly ever felt that way again.I've been able to be a parent. To live and enjoy things..again. this can happen for you.
If your on med they have stopped working. This happened to me with my first meds. Worked for six years then stopped.
If you don't take medication you probably need to.
I can say this.
I refused meds for far to long.
I suffered.
Don't allow another day of suffering.
I'm glad to see you acting.
I've been pretty good since I've found the right medications
In 1999.
Occasionally you'll still get depressed. Anxious. Happy.
But it's 'normal' again.
It's hard for me to believe I was the way I was.
Good luck.

I got 3 cats & I am responsible for them. That codependent part of me will keep up.
