Hi Chrispie welcome 🙂 You've come to a good place, no need to feel weird here, no judgement just understanding, caring and support 🙂 It really is as many say a safe place to vent and meet others in similar situations
First up mammoth that you're mostly winning over the demons having lengthy times on top so keep remembering that you DO have strength and have learnt how to use it.
As you'd know well depressions OH SO GOOD at pulling us down, I find though a psychologist said it's the depression that creates tiredness yip no doubt he's right but also I find tiredness too creates depression that carries stress in itself which possibly the adrenalin and whatever else that gives us the pump to lift up causes us to go down if it's not released or used for it's purposes.
Have you been getting enough sleep?
Do you know of anything that could have bought you down again
If we can pinpoint causes makes it easier not easy to work on how to get back up.
Great you have Lovely daughters, great hubby though unfortunately not always understanding your needs, hard for those without this pain to understand, have you been able to talk to him deeply about what's going on and how hard it is, even in writing can be good cause no interruptions.
He does sound like a good bloke which is great but yeah need support in the hard times for sure aye.
Keep in mind it's the depression that's making you feel unloved, unappreciated etc... we see things in a negative spin thanks to the beast. I imagine you're very loved by what you've said about your lovely family.
Stress and pain needs an out I strongly suggest don't hold the tears in, let em rip, an out.
Sorry you're feeling this way and remember as you've found out and learnt it won't necessarily be like this all the time. You've got resilience, just gotta get through this bout and come out stronger again
You're on my threads now so I'l be back unless some unforseeable (oops ? sp lol) prevents me.
Hold on darl 🙂
