Hello my name is Lovely Lyn

[Lovely Lyn]

Hello,

I don't know why this is happening to me. I have depression but I have everything a husband, a daughter, 3 step daughters, 4 grand children, brother, sisters, mum who is still alive. I used to love all of them, I dont know how to feel love any more, I dont know how to feel anything any more. I had a great job that I can go back to at any time, but im too scared, I dont remember how. I dont have money issues. So why is this happening to me? I dont sleep, well I go to bed at night but wake up early hours of the morning and think. Think about everything, negative mainly. I dont eat, well everyone make me but I dont feel hungry, I eat but dont know where the food goes, I never feel full, is this normal? No nothing I am going through is normal. I want this to go away, Im so frustrated.

Lovely Lyn,

Yes what you're feeling is normal, but sadly normal for depression. If you do have good days and bad days try keeping a diary of what you were doing when good and bad happen. It's not a cure for depression but will help you to remember the good is coming after bad. The real good news though is that it will not last for ever.

Have a good read on the site's forums and you'll find your not alone, and there a plenty of people to help and chat with you and wonderful bits of humour and good news. As they say a problem shared is a problem given away
