I feel the depression I've suffered on and off for most of my adult life creeping back up on me. My faith and religion are what has always carried me through hard times and I am even having a hard time connecting with that. I feel so isolated and disgusting. When I went on methadone in 2002, I put on about 30lbs. I've been off it since 2005 but the weight is still with me. I know if I really got off my butt and not only exercised daily but changed my eating habits I could probably lose some weight. I guess I'm just pouting and being weak-minded but it is so hard for me to snap out of this. Ya'll know the relgious poem "Footprints"? The end when the man asks the Lord why there is only one set of footprints in the sand and the Lord says, "it was then that I carried you". That's what I feel like I need now. Please keep me in your prayers and I will keep all of you in mine.
Love, Shelly

Shelly,
I wonder if there is any woman alive that never suffered depression. One thing is that it really makes you feel for another person who is suffering. Prayers and hugs, honey.

Oh my goodness you guys, you are so wonderful. I've visited several other message boards over the past few months but I always end up back here. Now I remember why. The people here truly care and feel for one another.
Poopie, of course I remember you. I'm sorry you're having a hard time with w/d right now but you know that you are on the right path. You also know that it will get better. Stay strong. 2007 might very well be the best year of your life so far! I sure will be praying for that for you.
Sweet Pea, thanks for your prayers. I know the power of prayer and EVERY single one of them counts and I appreciate it.
Thumper, your post made me cry. Your prayer was so beautiful and even though we don't know each other, it was so personal. It truly touched my heart.
Petsmom, I think your right just about every woman at some point experiences depression. Some are strong enough to make it through with no help. I personally take celexa. The women I feel sorry for are those whose husband or families make them feel there is something wrong with taking an anti-depressant or talking to a professional. My sister, who isn't an addict but does suffer from on and off again depression, is married to a guy who is so narrow minded that he won't even do any research or talk to anyone about depression. At the beginning of my marriage my husband was kind of the same way but thank God he was willing to learn more about it and now he often reminds me to take my celexa!
Anyway, thanks to all of you. It's so nice to come here and get comfort and prayers. I pray for everyone here daily.

I hope things get better for you, shelly, and soon. It is that time of the year for depression. I would bet more depression happens around the holidays and through winter, more than any other time. If it doesn't lift soon, talk to your doctor about adjusting your AD or possibly changing it. Sometimes they lose their effectiveness over time. Hang in there.
hi shelly...........
it's another new day..............

So sorry you are feeling this way. I rarely get really depresssed, but I have a couple of times and I have so much sympathy for you.
This time of year is so hard, Christmas is over, and it is so dark and dreary..........
Are you on an antidepressant? Sorry if I missed that.
Big Hugs ...............Keep posting.
