Does anyone else ever get this way, and if so what do you do to break free of this negative spiral? It's like Depression-ception, heh. :| I have depression and anxiety, and then I get more depressed because I feel guilty about having depression and anxiety. I feel guilty because of the way it affects/has affected my parents and the ones I care about. It's better now ...

I find life dull and pointless and every day I have to go into my work feels like I’m living a pointless tragedy. I was on the bus this morning as the sun was rising and thought about how nice it would be to go for a walk.

I’m turning 43 next month, and that makes it 30 years that I have felt hurt, angry, but most of all tired, so, so tired.

I have had my own issues with depression and mainly anxiety. To give a little bit of back story: My boyfriend was diagnosed with clinical depression at around 8 years of age and has seen different therapists over the years.

I’ve only been taking antidepressants for 1 year but I still haven’t found what worked for me. I’m currently on lamictal and cymbalta (on cymbalta for 6 weeks and lamictal for 5 days) and I’m really hoping that this will help me. I’ve been on at least 15-20 different meds the past year and I was doing well on one but I had side effects and I had to be taken off of it. And ...

I would like to know what I can do to (at least mentally) get out of this situation? I am depressed because of my living, financial, and social situations. I don't really have a way to deal with this so I work until I am blue in the face, worry about my finances until I know where every dollar has gone, and stay away from fun social situations with other people. This leads me to ...

I'm self employed and I've read so many articles & have been given advice about loneliness by so many "experts" over the years, and they all say things like:
