Hi everyone please do also keep me in your prayers I fell back into major depression after 8 years of recovery and I am experiencing panic attacks.not giving up is hard
Hello! I am in my fourth go-round with crippling depression and anxiety. I got out of the hospital in Oct 2017 and I am much much better but have learned a hard lesson. Some of us will have relapses. I relapsed while on medication and getting therapy. This current state came about because of the loss of two pets within 11 months, a hurricane after each one died, and a tree falling down after each of the hurricanes in the backyard of the house behind mine. I was already in a downward spiral but was in denial. What works for me is reminding myself that I have made it through this affliction three times before, so there is no reason that I will not get through this time. This has been the longest time it has lasted, each episode has been worse than the one before but one of the factors is that each time I have less people to lean on, my dad is now deceased, I am divorced for the second time, and many of my “friends” have shown their true colors. I am doing EFT Tapping, which has helped tremendously. I am doing my best to see who I really am, what are my real values and desires, and looking at my life to see what is hindering me and what would help me. Self reflection, with the assistance of a very gifted and multi-modality trained therapist. You made it through your depression the last time, so there is no reason that you won’t make it through this time. It is different, you are a different age, have had new life experiences, but deep down inside you are who you are. Please do not give up. Please do not condemn yourself for this relapse. Sometimes we know what causes it and sometimes we don’t. We can be doing everything right, like food, exercise, socializing, etc and still relapse. It is not a sign of weakness. It is just the way we are. The harder you fight acceptance, the worse it will be. I have a few friends who provide me true support, mainly by accepting me just the way I am. Maintain hope, do things that help you feel better. I’m teaching myself to play the piano. Music has helped me so much. Be creative and try new hobbies if you can. And allow yourself to be who you are, take “sick days “ when you need to just do whatever you want to do, even if it means watching UA-cam videos all day. And remember that anyone who tells you that this is your fault is not a real friend. Communicate with people you meet on this channel. The best support can come from someone who actually knows what you are going through. I do pray for us all to be healed, but each of us has a different path to follow. The most important thing to me has been to maintain hope that “This too shall pass”. I have a bracelet engraved with those four words and wear it every day to remind myself that nothing in life is permanent. I wish you the very best in getting through your current setback. And the same for Douglas and all people who use this channel for help. ❤
I am a believer in Christ and I know he would never say to me what some Christians say about depression. He is my best friend and wants to see me recover. Some Christians need to walk in my shoes then they will understand.
Applying spiritual principles and practices into your life can help you manage your moods though right? Even you include spiritual methods as a tool of recovery or mood management.
I'm 2 months sober and I'm terrified that if Depression returns I'll go back to drinking. I need an outlet for Depression? I'm trying to do Poetry and play the Kora. I hope depression doesn't send me back to drinking. TBH i believe in Jesus and that doesn't seem to stop the episodes of Depression.
Hello! Congratulations on making it to two months sober. Please celebrate yourself, give yourself credit and praise. One of the most harmful thought patterns starts with “What if…” followed by some horrible thought. Take it from a champion catastrophiser! Sometimes I could “What if” myself literally to death. Please look backward to see how far you have come and look forward to continuing to use the strength that you have proven to yourself that you have.
@@shirleykaye4344 Thank you. I'm currently trying to keep my schedule busy so I want have time to drink. I'm going to AA, church, The gym, and Getting a job. I'm strong through Jesus so I know I'll do anything but fail. I also use spirituality to fight Depression. Thank you again

How are you doing now Douglas ?
Did Bill Wilson use megadoses of vitamin B3 to recover from depression and try to introduce nutrient therapy into AA? I heard he might of.
