Crushed By Depression

[intheprocess]

Hi- I don't know what the heck happened but I am so depressed it's unbelievable. Started on Thanksgiving; saw my counselor yesterday; told to call my psy.; he called me during school (I couldn't talk about it) and so I have an appt. on Dec. 8. Just hoping for prayers/support to snap out of this and/or to see the psy. sooner. Counselor thinks I need a change in meds. Thanks.

Thinking of you, @intheprocess. Thoughts and hope/wishes for best outcome & prayers totally on their way.

In the meantime, do you happen to know what do you need, to get through your days safely?

We all get depressed at times, and sometimes it can last longer. That's when we need all the help and support we can get, no matter where it comes from.

In my case, it's from the folk in here, as I'm not receiving therapy or any other kind of help. I hope it doesn't last long for you, good luck.

Thanks very much, you two. I appreciate the prayers and the support. I am watching something on Netflix and then I am going to bed. To stay safe? My mind goes blank but the movies and rest should help, I hope. My counselor told me not to be alone, but the stress of my evening schedule was too hard. I go online to forums and I know there's a chat available. 7 Cups of Tea. Thanks, I really need the prayers and support. I don't want to have to go to the hospital.

My mind goes blank but the movies and rest should help, I hope.

Even if they don't help, it's a safe thing to be occupied by and safely spent time, so better than no plan. Kudos on having come up with it.

Drinking enough liquids & eating something small if you can & shower if you can & keeping adequately warm could be useful, also.

Thanks. Good suggestions. I am signing off. Good night everyone and thanks for your support.

Good one to you too, @intheprocess.

Please let us know how you doing if you can, when you can. No rush.

Hi, yesterday a student asked if I was mad at her so the depression was pretty obvious. I told her I was tired. I really crashed after work yesterday. I watched something as I said I was going to do and went to bed early. No shower. Today is a bit better. I emailed my counselor asking if it's okay that I leave a message on my psyche's phone that she will call him since I can't say anything to him on the phone in school and I need some voice who can fill him in. I added if it was against protocol or inappropriate to let me know. Today I put up a front and get tired from it. I will keep you all posted. The chat at 7cups was okay. I'm mixed up in what I told you, sorry.

@intheprocess, it's quite fine to be 'mixed up', as well as have mixed opinions about what's happening or issues with recall or different layers of recall and what have you. So we grok it, don't stress yourself over it. ;)

I'm glad you're doing so much for keeping in touch with people, still reaching for support, both here and the physical world.

Thanks for understanding, Cashew. It's strange that at school I am not as depressed as when I leave work. Must be a good distraction for me. My Superior asked if there's a light at the end of the tunnel regarding this bout of depression; I think it's hard on the Sisters I live with. But I am doing my best.
