Hi, having depression as you all know brings with it total lack of energy and motivation, can some one out there enlighten me with some coping mechanisms of trying to get through this whether its with medicines or whatever. I am on an antidepressant and 2 weeks in, I know it takes about 4-5 weeks for it to kick in as I have been on another antidepressant which didn't work, I am sick of feeling so tired and run down and with drawing from people and cant be bothered talking.....I walk every morning for 30 mins but that doesn't seem to help but I will keep doing it, thanks I look forward to hearing from someone.

Hi farns, have you had a look in the Staying Well forum? There are lots of threads on coping mechanisms in there, as well as the Self help tips for managing depression thread.
