Yes, many of us do have to withdraw from activities and meeting people, so we end up pretty much alone. I make myself go to a social event once a week, as I know I need acquaintances for various reasons, some of them spiritual and some practical, like having someone to drive me if I have to take demerol before a dental appt. I do have a friend there who is a good friend...having just one is something! It is a heavy thing we deal with.

i know what you're talking about.
i was well into my adult life before i found a great psychologist who helped me very much with cognitive therapy. i'm on such an even keel and have been at peace for a long time. try to journal your thoughts, it may help you get an insight as you have already. you're so right, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Unfortunately, depression is one of the sxs of MS...I've had a life-long battle with depression and like you am in a hole right now.
I've tried a myriad of ADs, and none works for me...in fact some have taken me to very dark places ![]() Talk therapy takes me in circles...I know how to cognitively get out of the dumps, but sometimes the dumps are pretty deep. glad you're being proactive...take care ![]()

I thought I'd just tag this reply to the back end of my original complaint.
I am feeling better. Not 100% yet, but what a relief! It feels sort of like when the sun finally comes out on a cold and cloudy day.

Glad you are starting to see the sun, again. And thanks for encouraging, supportive words for those that choose to use AD's in their struggles.
I am down to an anti-anxiety, as anxiety seems to be my predominant disorder over depression. And MS with Anxiety, MS with Depression, MS with anxiety AND depression, isn't all that uncommon. ![]() |

Glad you got back on the medication. I take some too, and after several months of adjustments my out look is better too. I hate depression, not matter how you come to get it, it is awful. It does distort our views. Thank you for your post. It give a lot of hope to others here who may be in the same battle. ginnie

Thanks for posting that
![]() Thank God for this site. I cannot tell you, (though I am sure you know well)...just how much I sit and consider what my (our) futures really look with all the Physical pain and mental issues because of them. Dealing with these conditions, all you do is cut yourself off from everyone ![]() I don't know about everyone here, but with RSD, which can tend to be an invisible illness often. I lose my mind, even though people mean well...But whenever I do get around people. All they do is ask "how I am feeling", and tell me how good I look and that I look like nothing is wrong. In my head, I get offended by those comments, as there is a constant battle going on within my body and it makes me feel like...I guess I don't look sick enough for You...LOL... Best Of Luck with the new med...Hope it gets you Balanced again...Blessings ![]() |
