The problem with feeling like that is that people will tell you that you need to talk to your friends, or talk to a therapist, and you don't WANT to talk to anyone, because you're afraid that then your secret will come out and everything will somehow fall down around your ears.<br><br>If you are female, are you perchance taking the birth control pill? I ultimately traced my depression to the hormones I was taking, and when I stopped the pill I bounced back very quickly. Fucking hormones. I was lucky that way; I know the answer is not always that easy. But take care of yourself, and take it one day at a time. It will not always be like this.Mollyhttp://mollyschoemann.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916811230646970708.post-3137721831060408892009-02-21T07:18:30.162-06:002009-02-21T07:18:30.162-06:00Dear Anonymous: I know what you're going thro...Dear Anonymous: I know what you're going through. There's nothing wrong with sadness, but crying in the shower seems more than that. Talk to your regular doctor if you can't talk to your husband or family. It might be something as simple as a thyroid change, or you may need to go talk with someone. I hope you feel better, soon!Fancy Schmancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12820338705876627799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916811230646970708.post-91698802173722672062009-02-19T21:42:45.409-06:002009-02-19T21:42:45.409-06:00Definitely talk to someone -- either a loved one o...Definitely talk to someone -- either a loved one or a professional.

But alone, I was miserable. <br><br>One thing I can recommend, and it's hard to do, is to keep busy, and be with friends and family. Go out. Be with people, even if you're faking happiness. Eventually this may work you out of your depression. You won't even know that the cloud is lifting until it has disappeared. <br><br>Good luck to you, and I hope your old self returns soon.

All I did was spill my guts, and after that I found that I didn't really need therapy anymore. Talking and having someone listen helped me figure out what I was feeling and then I was able to heal. Please allow someone else to help relieve you of your burdens.Srahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09654911015547100987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916811230646970708.post-75768206704164812622009-02-18T22:52:28.807-06:002009-02-18T22:52:28.807-06:00I agree with the others...it does sound like your ...I agree with the others...it does sound like your writing.

I suffer from depression. And it is for real, and it is a disease, and it is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed of. It's a disease just like diabetes or epilepsy or high blood pressure. And I take medication everyday to make myself better. And I probably always will.<br><br>I felt just like you describe for for over a year. But thank heavens, through this wonderful world of blogging I happened upon a post by a favorite blogger.It hit me like a ton of bricks. It was a follow up post to one she had written months earlier. I went back through her archives to read that post. And I cried. She described exactly what I was feeling, hopeless and losing her will to live. She got help. And months later, she was reflecting on how much better she was. <br><br>I too pretended everything was fine. I didn't want my friends and family to be all "what is wrong with her now?" But after I read that post I made an appointment with my doctor. Finally, FINALLY, because of that blog post, I saw that I needed help to get through what I was living with. Like Gretta said above, better living through pharmaceuticals. I feel so fortunate that the drugs my doc put me on worked, with no awful side affects. There are days when I still get a little blue feeling, but they pass easier now. Sorry so rambling. I know how bad I felt and want you to know that it can be so much better. :)BallerinaToeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03940366136007362217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916811230646970708.post-79790254965969218092009-02-18T17:59:10.181-06:002009-02-18T17:59:10.181-06:00I have been where you are many times.

But my husband now knows about mine and even though he's not terribly helpful or supportive at least I feel somewhat relieved that I don't have to put on quite so much of an act. Maybe that would help you as well. Think about sharing this with him. Maybe he'll surprise you and actually be your rock until you've found your feet again.Giggle Pixiehttp://caffeineandcabernet.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916811230646970708.post-77053966685563766622009-02-18T14:05:30.615-06:002009-02-18T14:05:30.615-06:00I have been there too many times to count.

However, I've taken to crying in the car instead of the shower. <br><br>The best thing to do is talk about it. Granted you might not talk to the husband or friends (sometimes I feel like i can't always talk to them) so I just blog about it. Interestingly enough there are people that will come to my page and read my rants and even leave a comment that may cheer me up. its a start. <br>Hope it gets betterRia~http://www.blogger.com/profile/10392527127074016615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916811230646970708.post-71103383025370182412009-02-18T12:13:18.894-06:002009-02-18T12:13:18.894-06:00I'll let you guys know when the next blogshare...I'll let you guys know when the next blogshare happens. <br><br>And to my anon poster today- I can tell you that I have been where you are at. It's hard, I know. It sounds trite- but for me, when I have found myself in that place, I've found that the only change that works comes from within me. I've never found an external solution for this very, very hard and very personal problem. <br>I'm so sorry you're feeling this way.
