Feeling broken........?!
Question: I have been struggling with depression for as long as I can remember. I am currently on Lexapro and it seemed to work well for a while.
Lately my self worth has taken a turn for the worse. I just feel so defeated (by life) and broken. I know I need to talk with someone.....I even called the EAP but no one has called back.
I cannot commit to anything......I do not have motivation.....I would rather lay in bed all day than come to work and put on a happy face - when I feel worthless. I feel like I look like crap, it pains me to see someone beautiful because I feel so inferior. It's the hardest thing in world. I don't feel sucidial or anything at all. I love my family, friends and boyfriend and wouldn't do anything to hurt them. I just feel...........broken, defeated, worthless and tired.
Is there something I can do in the meantime to feel better? Does anyone have any good exercises they use (ex.....writing in a journal etc.....)
Any suggestions are appreciated....Thanks

FIRST..off you got to stop telling yourself this thoughts...even if you do not believe it TELL yourself i am beautiful, i am worthy, i am a good person..etc...it is what you are feeding your brain. before you know it you will feel a little better nothing happens over night..i know it works because i stopped feeding my brain poisons thoughts..good luck and i am SURE...you are a great person
Go back to your doctor-try some meditation
I feel for you since I'm struggling myself. If you want to talk email me lilrissa002@yahoo.com
I don't know. I've had clinical depression for more than a decade and it keeps getting worse. I've been on medication (still am) had it changed, increased, decreased, been to counselling, groups, cognitive behavioural therapy etc, over the years, have had very bad family & friends support (they cannot/will not undestand depression and me even though I've had this for over 10 years).
I feel ugly, worthless, empty, angry, horribly sad, weepy, disgusted with myself nearly all the time. It's very very crap.
I've been considering suicide on and off for years and more recently very seriously but I know it would really hurt my parents badly. They are both elderly (in their 70s) now so I think I'll hold on for a few years until they die and then kill myslef.
I really hope you find other better solutions especailly that you have people supporting you. That's huge.
Dear, I`m sorry you feel like that. In my experience, homeopatic medicine have a lot of medications for mental conditions.
I swer that it works.
You just have to tell the Doctor EVERITING, like since when, how, in what circumstances, how often, like what, in what hour of the day, etc.
Take your pills or whatever exactly like he said.
And call him if ther`s no change, if the change is too little and if you are felling better and better, CALL HIM ANYWAY.
Do excercise (eny), sleep just 8 hours, and eat well. Good look.
You can overcome this--I did, but it is a daily struggle. Get yourself into therapy right now--get on anti-depressant medication--lots of people have gone thru this dark time & come out the other side into the sunshine again..its the hardest thing there is to do, but I can't explain how it feels to have my life back.. Its not a perfect life at all, but there are good things again, & good people, & the satisfaction of working hard for somethnig so huge. Suicide is not an answer--its like swatting a fly with a sledgehammer, & YOU CAN'T TAKE IT BACK!!Give therapy & meds & time a chance--you will be surprised...
