Title: It is all just too much
Post by: willows on July 01, 2012, 10:39:04 PM

Just want things to be like they used to. I want to take pleasure in the time I spend with my kids, I want to feel the pleasure I got from my work again, I want to enjoy simple things like walking my dogs, laughing with friends.............will things ever be good again? I wish I could believe that the answer is yes but it doesn't feel like I will ever be happy again. Not sure it is even worth fighting for at the moment :'(

It sounds like you have a lot on your plate but don't think the joy won't return, that's rarely the case. It may fluctuate but it will come back, just let it come, don't blame yourself for how you feel.

Feel for you willows, but keep positive, the good feelings will return. I remember feeling as you do now. I also thought I would never feel happy again. But I am, I still have down days but I have more up days. !+_ for you. S x x x x

It is worth fighting for willows, even though it doesnt feel like it sometimes xxx

Thanks Joethfc, Shaz and Zaf. I am trying to be positive but it feels like a constant battle at the moment and I just haven't got any energy to keep fighting :(

That's one of the worst things for me, Willows; not having any energy.  To everyone around you it maybe appears that you are lazy and useless but that is not the case, we are ill and that is a symptom.  I hope things get better for you, fighting depression is so difficult though.

So don't fight, willows. Let things go. Fighting and trying too hard will just make you more tired.   :vik:

I agree, sometimes fighting is the worst thing you can do, its getting the timing right thats the hard thing   :(  xx

Its very hard to get the balance right.  Between fighting or giving up.

That's what I worry about. If I stop fighting then I will be giving up and that scares me.
