It’s been rough lately. I feel like crying, but don’t want to around my wife or kids.

I don’t want to go outside even though it is nice out. I want to pull the curtains shut and be in the dark.

It’s hard focusing at work, and I worry that my lack of focus and motivation could cause problems.

There’s nothing in particular going on in life that seems like it could cause it. It just happens with me.

I just barely got back from a visit with my psychiatrist and we are upping the dose of my antidepressant.

I guess I don’t have anything else to say. I just wanted to post this to start this community and to let other people struggling that you aren’t the only one.

    Life sucks sometimes and definitely ain’t easy. Think about things you remember as joyful and try to get some spare time and relive those moments. You matter!

    Be kind to yourself. If you need rest and space take what you need. Go slow and build yourself up. You’re valuable!

    Just here to let you know you aren’t alone either. Depression has been rough for me lately.

    I have bipolar too. It sucks, and I am so sorry you are going through this rough time. I’ve been there, and I want to send you some sincere love. I hope you start to feel better soon.

    I know how you feel. I’m struggling to find the right meds. My ups and downs are a massive rollercoaster. It doesn’t help my health isn’t great.
