One minute I can be in good mood and then suddenly I can get angry, mad, or depressed. Or it wilol be the other way round. I will be bummed out then in a matter of minutes, I can be in great mood. I hate that. I cant seem to focus at work for some reason. I enjoy the Holiday's, but it is hard when it reminds me of past Christmases with my family. I start thinking about how much time has goneby and how much I have not done with my life. I hate the crying for no reason and the I hate that it just comes and goes.

I feel so awful, no matter what I do or how much ever I divert my mind I keep thinking about the past and I did have a very important presentation and I totally blanked out. I am actually feeling pathetic to be true and I have no clue how long I will have to go like this. And the other annoying thing is crying which I have been doing for a long time now and I cant concentrate on anything, new activities are not helping me either because I just curl up like a ball and cry later.I feel hopeless all the time and feel I can't do anything right or worthwhile in life. If anyone is feeling something close to my symptoms I would like to talk to them and make a support group to help each other out through this phase. If anyone is up for this kindly let me know.

I was on mediccation for a while but when my hour were cut at work I had to stop getting the neds. One thing I have noticed is my mood swings are more and more pronounced. Not to mention the fact that I can find no peace. I am and have always felt like I was alone, sometimes more than others. Being single at 38 with never being in a relationship or finding someone who wants to spend time with me without some alterior motive. never having a family of my own. wanting what I cannot have. I dont kow about anyone else, but I feel paranoid that I am gonna mess things up at work. feelings that I am not needed or wanted. everyday I cry, only to be told to stop acting like a cry baby. Family that I have helped at the expense of me having to do without, only t be told that I am useless when thibgs dont go their way. i hate where I am, cant get out cant focus on anything much. i have suffered with depression on and off for years.

In one of my longest and deepest episodes I cried for weeks before taking the antidepressants and then it two another four or so weeks for them to kick in. So I sat on my couch and cried. It was terrible and not normal. I like to be out doing things, working and being with people. The problem with it is ruminating. Any thought, and they are all negative about myself and other people, I dwell on and think about over and over again. Which drives me quite mad and then I get depressed. So over the last few years I have become quite involved in Mindfulness Training which really has helped me to notice what I am thinking and change it. It is also quite relaxing as one has to meditate to train the mind....:) I feel so much better when I am doing this, can operate in the world and do the things I want to do as well as feel in control of myself rather than my mind controlling me... The teariness is still there a little particularly when I talk about my condition to people for some reason but I figure the more I do it maybe the less it will happen .....

It started from no where. I'm a 30 year old woman, well educated, happily married, not really any job - but should be working if I could motivate myself to stay working and focus. All my bills seem piled up. I get to a point where I wonder if I am all alone.............. Why do I feel hopelessness? I feel very much a loser. Not many close friends, which is odd, cuz I can make friends easily. However, I seem not to hold on to people for long. I don't have children yet, but would like them. But some days I wonder to myself.... why bother leaving the house, people are so stupid, traffic is hell, customer service sucks and I can't trust anyone. Emotions rise to the top - I cry about how much of a loser I am, wasting my time here on earth when I should be helping someone else, or working towards a goal. And yet I feel comfort in laying on my couch with a blanket and my cat. Is there anything more serene? Gosh, I love to sleep... My Dreams seem so much better!

But I also know I have repressed so many memories. I just can't deal with the barrage of emotions that threaten to overwhelm me all the time. I was unhappy for about a year- that was three years ago. Only recently have I started to cry uncontrollably. One day in school, I felt so sad, I just looked at the walls and furniture, and couldn't look anyone in the eye or smile. But I didn't cry until the next period, when my teacher gave me back an essay I had written and gotten a failing grade on. At that moment, I just felt like the biggest failure...and I started to cry, couldn't stop. I went to the bathroom and wept, when I came back I felt a little better, but later that same day, right before dismissal, I started to cry after my friend got a better score on an oral quiz. It was hard to explain that it wasn't really because of the quiz grade that I was crying- that I was just sad because my father has for a long criticized me and remarked that I needed to do better, try harder, be more like someone else. He began to say these things after losing his job. I guess we all need something in our lives, we all feel unhappy, but some us show it in a certain way, like crying. I think I was happy as a child.
