I find my self unusually happy in the day and then extremely sad. The smallest thing can make me sooo happy and likewise, the smallest thing can make my whole day turn around and throw me into a black hole.

I'm so tired of climbing out of those black holes. It seems that the minute I finally get out, I'm thrown right back in. I've tried to be strong for so long now, convincing myself that everyone goes through hard times, but I just can't seem to get out. Nothing can make me happy for longer than maybe a couple of hours, and then I'm back in the shits, inevitably.

I don't know if it's dissatisfaction with the circumstances of my life, or if it's medical. I've been hypothyroid and anemic, and I'm apparently better now, but I think I have depression. I don't know, seriously. I find I'm constantly fighting a battle with my emotions.. I don't think most ppl live this way.

Other ppl in my life notice this about me too... so I know it's not how i'm supposed to be.. but I wonder if the problem lies in how i deal with things, or whether it is some kind of chemical imbalance in my body.

Anyhow, life is getting too hard. I don't know how I can manage this for the rest of my life. I need to find a solution before I run out of mental energy. I don't know how long I can keep playing this torturous game of life.

I know what you are going through...I have almost the same feelings..I go through this everyday...I just want you to know you are not alone...I want to wrap my love around you and tell you i truely understand..I am in so much pain..my heart is allways breaking..I always feel like I am not good enough...I only know that I feel deep love and compassion to know you, and know that you are someone like me that feels my pain...this time of year is even worse because everyone seems so happy..with family and love and presents to give..all the blinking lights and tinsel just makes me sick............
 
Hi!

I'm no expert at these things but seeing that you have had some medical problems in the past, you may in fact be suffering from depression as you yourself have stated.

I have a friend who had the same type of up and down feelings and he thought that he had depression. He was encouraged to talk to his doctor and after seeing some specialists, was diagnosed with clinical depression. He didn't want to go to the doctor at first because he thought we'd all think he's crazy. But I'm happy to say that he's doing really well now that he's being treated and has a formal support system. He still does have his ups and downs but I think knowing that people care about him and are there for him, helps somehow.

I would encourage you to seek help if you are having these feelings constantly. I myself suffer from loneliness (but not depression per se) from time to time, but I think a good support system, in terms of family and friends, helps ease the burden. Keeping busy also helps, but that takes its toll in terms of energy...
 
[/font]I wish I could confirm what has stated above...I am going thru the same stages every so often..and I know, that I cannot take this anymore. It is so hard for me to go on living all by myself, I have anemia and I have used medication for that (folic acid) and for some time I was also on Prozac but it seemed not to work out for me----it just made me feel numb (and maybe dumb:() Family and friends would surely be a good support system, only if I had them...:(
