To Iggy./depression

[Guest guest]

Hey there Iggy, sorry you are feeling so depressed! I wish I could

make it go away for you! I have been there too, in a deep, dark,

scary depression. I was so suicidal. I think I cryed everday for like

8 months. I fought the idea of an anti-depressant, but finally gave

in, because I really thought I was going to harm myself. All I can

say is if you really think you are going to harm yourself, you

should maybe looking into an anti-depressant. I took Celexa. It was

the only one I did not have side effects too. OR there is a natural

supplemnt for depression called SAM-E. I used that for a little while

also. It also helped with my pain, although it is a bit expensive.

(but may be worth a try if you are not into meds.-read about it on

the net).

On a lighter note, I have not taken an anti-depressant in over 1 yr

and a half. I feel as though I do not need it. Sure I get down and

out from not feeling good alot of the time, but I am not in a

depression.

Also, I really prayed every nite and day to God to help me when I

felt all alone. Just remember that he does not want you to be sad or

sick. I prayed to have my gardian angels always be with me. ANd in

those times, I did feel their presence!! It eased my mind that I was

not alone, and being watched. Also, I belive that God sent me some

new people in my life who have helped me thru the hard times.

Iggy, you have to hang on. I know depression is not something you

can just shake off, and should be taken very seriously.

It sounds like this new Dr. you are seeing will be able to help

you. Focus on the thought of finding some help thru him!! You have to

have HOPE, that you WILL feel BETTER, and it always will not be like

this. I never belived things could get better for me(after being

bedridden for over 1 yr and a half), but they did! It took alot of

time and changes in my life. You will get there too. You are taking

all the right steps here, and have to take care of that depression in

order to help your healing. I know it is not a good place to be in.

Hopes this helps you out.. If you would like to email me, you can.
