I need support

I am waking each morning worrying about just making it through the day! I've been on medication and feel it's not working although I've made small improvements.

I just hate waking up seeing the sunlight and thinking here we go again.

No suicide ideation at all but sick and tired of being sick and tired! Also tapering from anxiety medication. I also have health and GAD anxiety on top of the depression and medical professionals involved. I'm not into craft or arts or anything. Prior to all this I enjoyed going out even though I lived a little reckless! I'm just over waking each morning feeling like this even though I'm using all my CBT tools. Ahhhhhh

also thought I may add I am also just accepting grief of a best friend from 2 years ago as I held it all in.

I've been on my antidepressant for 3 months and scared of more medication so worried if my psych changes it my health anxiety will kick in. I dont trust drs

Hi bluewater,

Sorry to read about your friend. The loss of a person for any reason can create strong feelings of grief and sadness. Would you like to share a little more here about that? If not, that is okay too.

It took me many years to learn how to let go of grief, or at least to acknowledge it and try to work through it.

It is tough when you wake up and decide that life is too tough to want to make a start of your day.

Can you try and plan some goals for each day? I sometimes write a list the night before and tick of what I have achieved during the day.

Are there some activities you can re-introduce to your life that brought you pleasure and happiness in the past?

Hopefully you can find a Dr whom you do trust as they can be so helpful.

Hopefully you feel comfortable having a look at other posts on the forum to read how others have coped with depression and anxiety.

Do you have plans for today? Is there something different you could try tomorrow?

Cheers to you from Dools

Thanks Dools,

I thought about the list and may start doing it... I always make my goal to get up every day and get dressed and that's working but I need to do more.

I think it's hard as I'm also withdrawing from my anxiety medication after I developed a tolerance so blaming that but feel I'm blaming alot of things.
