Hi and welcome! As I am sure you can see, you are not alone in how you are feeling. Alot of us, including myself, struggle to just get through each day.

Do the meds you are on right now help? If not, have you tried any others? There are many antidepressants that work differently for everyone. I also find that therapy doesn't always help, however it is good to have someone to talk to when you don't have anyone else.

When you feel that a day is going to be "dark", do you have a plan to take care of yourself? What do you do to make sure you get through the day? For me, I have learned some ways to help when I can tell I am going to have a tough day. I take myself to the movies, I paint, I vent on here. On of my fave things to do is buy my fave ice cream, turn off my phone, get in bed and watch a funny movie or tv show. it doesn't "fix" everything, but it helps me make sure I will survive that moment.

I hope you stick around and look forward to "seeing" you around here!
