Depression Is Hurting My Life Posted: 05-05-07 18:28pm
I HAVE BEEN DEALING WIYH DEPRESSION FOR 10
YEARS NOW. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT IN MY
LIFE. WHAT I DEAL WITH EVERY DAY IS THE
LOSS OF MY SISTER 9 YEARS AGO AND MY
MOTHER IS AN ALCOHOLIC. I GET PANIC
ATTACKS A LOT. I DONT HAVE MANY FRIENDS TO
TURN TO. MY FAMILY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ME.
I FEEL SO ALONE EVERY DAY. I CANT HANDLE
THE PAIN ANYMORE. ALL I DO IS CRY. I DONT
KNOW WHAT TO DO. I DID THERAPY BUT I DONT
HAVE INSURANCE ANYMORE. I HAVE BEEN
THROUGH SO MANY OTHER HARD TIMES AND I
CANT DEAL WITH IT. HOW DO YOU GO THROUGH
IT ALL WITH NOBODY TO HELP YOU? I MISS MY
SISTER REALLY BAD. I AM 30 NOW AND
DEPRESSION IS RUINING MY LIFE.

Can you check with your county government
and see if you qualify for any type of
health benefits? That may help, then you
can get in to see a therapist. I know
Hospice does counseling after someone
dies, but I think it is for a year after
their death.
Do you live with your mother? I had an
alcoholic mother too and the best thing I
ever did was move out of her house. I
know it's hard if you are depressed to
think of doing all of those things.
You don't say much else about your mom,
but remember the drinking is her choice.
Alcoholics and drug addicts are selfish
people who seem to love blaming others for
their problems. Is that the case for you?

Also, I lost both of my parents, a really
good friend, and another good family
friend within a 9 month period. I don't
have a large support system either (family
is pretty disjointed, I am single with no
significant other, etc.) I'm also not a
really religious person, but I have found
that turning to a higher power has helped
me in times like you are going through.
It isn't easy, especially without that
support system.

I LIVE WITH MY MOM. I WAS ENGAGED A FEW
YEARS AGO AND IT DID NOT WORK OUT. I AM
AFRAID TO LEAVE BECAUSE I AM AFRAID SHE
WILL FALL ALL OVER THE PLACE , GET HURT
AND DIE. SHE DRINKS ABOUT 2 BOTTLES OF
WINE EVERY NIGHT. THE STATE DOES NOT
PROVIDE ANYTHING GOOD. I LOOKED INTO THAT.

Please Look Into Moving Out Posted: 05-05-07 18:52pm
You have to understand (and I've been
through this, so I know where you're
coming from) that you are not responsible
for your mom. If she does hurt herself,
it's her choice to get better. She isn't
going to listen to you or anyone else.
Please consider trying Al-anon. It really
helped me get my head back on straight.
My mom would tell me that she drank
because of me! And I believed it. And
strangely enough, as much as I hated it
there, I lived there until I was 25.
Are you able to support an apartment? If
not, try to check on the local Al-anon
meetings so that you can separate yourself
mentally from your mom. Then the other
things will fall into place.
I hope this helps - I feel like I'm
preaching but I've been in your shoes -
not a fun place at all.

I HAD MY FIRST ALANON MEETING LAST WEEK. I
AM GOING TO KEEP GOING AND MAYBE JOIN A
FEW OF THEM. I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO MOVE
OUT. I AM TRYING TO GET MY LIFE ON TRACK.
ITS HARD WHEN YOU DONT HAVE SOMEONE TO
TALK TO. I DONT EVEN HAVE 1 PERSON ON A
REGULAR BASIS TO TALK TO. MY FAMILY BLAMES
ME FOR EVERYTHING. I DO HAVE A FRIEND I
TALK TO SOMETIMES, BUT HE JUST GOT BACK
FROM IRAQ AND I DONT WANT THROW MY
PROBLEMS ON HIM EVERYDAY. I DO TELL HIM
HOW I FEEL BRIEFLY. IT HELPS FOR THE
MOMEMENT. THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME. ITS
GOOD WHEN YOU GET ADVICE FROM SOMEONE WHO
HAS GONE THROUGH IT.

Hello Etothem,
I m Adnan a qualified
expert in Neuro/Psychiatry, I m sorry to
know about you, Depression is a disabling
illness and sometimes it becomes even more
severe if untreated, I can understand your
problem and sure how much it is getting
out of control because already there
nobody is able to help you as they
themselves are the victims of miserable
life, but remember that your condition is
treatable and you can improve with
medicines those regulate the neuronal
operation of neurotransmitters like
Serotonin, Norepinephrine and Dopamine,
improper chemical transport actually
expresses the possible breakdown in signal
transmission between the neurons and
signals are transported through the
neuronal release of above mentioned
neurotransmitters. So the most important
thing is that you will have to get better
because in future you get more stressful
life because you can overcome your family
problems by doing a job and that way you
will have a more secure future.

hey there, I totally understand how you
feel. When I was depressed I also had very
few people that cared about what I was
going through. I felt like people didn't
want to be around me just because I was
negative.. but they didn't know how bad I
needed them to help me out. The reason why
I say "WAS depressed" is because I'm
actually 100% free from depression and
anxiety today. I truley never thought the
day would come, but I went from severe
depression and anxiety to absolutley
happy. I got so sick of being stuck in the
dark and deprived of happiness that I
became absolutely determined that I would
find the root of my problem and hopefully
fix it. I first looked back at when the
depression started to see if maby
something had caused my in-balance. I
realized that I had gone through a very
rough time, very emotional and
traumatizing. Ever since the experience I
felt the same depressed emotions, as if I
was still in the experience. When I
realize d this I gained alot of hope
because I knew that I must of retained the
negative emotions from that experience.
Sure enough when I found a NERT
practicioner (negative emotional release
treatment) the doctor explained to me what
happened, and what happens in 75% of
cases. He explained how the emotions
actually get retianed in the sub-concious
mind if they are not process right, which
can happen when you are traumatized. I
then took the treatment ..................
I was absolutely amazed! the depression,
anxiety and every other negative feeling
that went with it released from my body! I
could feel the negative energy leaving my
body. I'm now 100% happy and satisfied
with life, where before I never thought
the day would come when i would even enjoy
winning the lottery. I am now on a mission
to spread the word about this. I've spoken
to other NERT patients and listened to all
of their success stories as well. They all
have released some kind of negative
emotions wheather it was depression,
anxiety, anger, confusion, worthlessness,
resentment, etc. ..
It'll be alright.. we'll get to the root
of your problem too.. Warren B
PM me and we'll try to rule some things
out... Love you all!
