First off, im new to these forums and wanted to say hey to everyone. I think this probably is the right spot to post this. While I wouldnt say im depressed to a severe level.......I have been going through a depression for a few months now. Seems like everything this year has been going downhill. I have been hit with alot of financial problems and my hours at work are cut in half since the beginning of the year. Im just managing to pay the bills. Ever since my ex fiance' left me over 3 years ago, (which I think scarred me)........I have only had 1 small relationship with a girl for about a month, and that was a looong time ago. Even good quality friends have dropped since a year ago. I have been a happy person for years on end, and would never imagined that I would be posting something in the depression forums. I went from somebody that wanted some alone time at night, to not wanting to be alone at all. Even the days that I dont have work, I just want to sleep in, which I am unable to do anymore. As soon as I wake up, I just get all these thoughts rushing in my head and cant go back to sleep. And it really seems like I have to push myself to get anything done. Does anyone else feel like this? Also, I was thinking of getting on anti depressants (took them yrs ago for 3 months and they worked), but then again, I really dont have the money for that right now. I dont know, maybe im rambling.....Maybe not, im just off work today and found this site and thought I would check it out. Obviously this is a down period of my life and am hopeing for a turnaround to the upside this year. Have a good one, jackpot777 (26/m)
