Hi Tonkatuff

Welcome to the forums and good on you for having the courage to post!

There is always a way to lessen and recover from depression. Can I ask if you have been diagnosed with this awful condition?

I have had depression for a long time and the bad lows do lessen over time especially with the help from a good GP.

The forums are a SAFE and SECURE place where you can vent and talk about anything you want to. Your privacy is paramount here Tonka

If you can let us know how you actually feel we can try hard to help you better 🙂

There is always a way out Tonka. There are tens of thousands of Australians that suffer from similar levels of depression that you do

you are not alone here

I really hope you can post back to us. There are many gentle people on the forums that can be here for you

my kind thoughts

Paul

Thanks Paul . You asked me how I feel well I feel useless most of the time I don't want to do anything at all and now I'm lucky to leave the house once a week no matter how much sleep I get I consistently tired I get my daugter of to school and sleep till she comes home I then feel awful as a mum cos I should be way better than this . The house get a bit messy and I m to tired so I'll do it later is what's normally said and then I get over whelmed I can't even make it to my appointment s I know I need to get help but I can't see a way out and drugs make me more tired and I'm scared that they make me a zombie with my daughter I'm sad all the time. My friends go to the movies to dinner out to the park it's been years since I've done any of those things

hello Tonkatuff, please never feel this way and we have all gone through our difficult times and at first find it so hard to open up, take your time and let it come when you are ready, there is no rush but some urgency. Geoff.
