Anyone Heard of These Symptoms? Posted: 11-15-03 03:47am
My family thinks i'm crazy. I suffer from
severe depression and for about the last 2
or 3 months i've had joint pain (mostly in
my knees), i'm really tired all the time,
like I could sleep all day and all night
if I didn't have to take care of my kids,
can't remember anything. I either have to
write a list of everything, or do the task
right at that moment or i'll forget. This
just makes my depression worse because my
family thinks there isn't anything wrong
with me. I just want to sleep in and have
them take my daughter to school or pick
her up. If it was up to me I would sleep
all the time. By the way, i'm a
housewife, mom, my husband and I run our
own business which I take care of from the
house and i'm a student in a paralegal
program. Could my symptoms be caused from
too much stress?? I've already tried to
commit suicide once a couple of years ago
by overdosing and I don't want to go there
again. Please help

Depression makes it difficult to
concentrate

Hi There Posted: 11-16-03 19:29pm
You sound very much like my daughter.
You need to get a good doctor that you are
comfortable with, a good counseller who
will listen.
Exercise and a good diet are vital. Get
rid of negative people from your life.
Its very hard for families who haven't
experienced any problems, but there are
lots of people out there just like you and
lots of people who want to help. Be kind
to yourself and don't give up. Good luck
:d
