Depression

[SkyIsFalling42]

This depression thing...its so scary for me. My mom was chronically depressed while I was growing up. She would nail blankets over the door and not answer it for days..we were not allowed outside of the house. Depression has always seemed to be perched on a rafter waiting for a chance to pounce on me. I have always led a busy, productive life, made sure to keep running, not to stand still for the depression to pounce. Recently, I have realized that I have always had the anxiety that my mom and alot of other family members have. But this is the first time in my life that I have had to struggle with such feelings of hopelessness and depression. I have stood still since the panic attacks changed my life, did it pounce on me then? or is this something that goes along with the panic attacks, anxiety and forced new life styles?
Today, Im feeling like I am running into brick walls everywhere.
Thanks for listening

Love in spirit
Sky

I am sending you hugs. Have you talked to your dr about this? if not it might be a good idea. Depression can be an awful thing, know you are not alone, we are here and we care.

type away when those feelings come over you, when you are hitting that brick wall, know that it is temporary - I know easy for me to say, but it is and try to remind yourself of that.

We are all friends here and we care.
