I'm creating this thread to hopefully help me feel less alone. I've struggled with depression and anxiety as long as I can remember, and have been going through a very rough patch the last week or so. I think it's because I've been drinking more lately (not A LOT, a lot, but 2-3 glasses of wine a night, every night.) I am going to limit myself to one-yes, one-glass of wine per week now. Plus my cousin just got married, and while I'm happy for her, it reminds me how much I regret my marriage and wish I could go back in time and just say NO. Not to mention I wish I could have believed in and loved myself so that I could have been happy and found a better match for me.. Anyway, yeah, it's been hard. I would love some virtual hugs from you guys.

I go through bouts of depression and I have serious anxiety at times but, I'm not on any medication. They gave me meds in the past and then I stopped taking them. I didn't want to feel like a zombie which is pretty much how they made me feel.

The past will never change, but at least you can learn from it.
I have been diagnosed with both anxiety and depression myself, I used to be on meds but since we moved I haven't gotten set up with a new doctor yet so I use any coping methods I can.
I used to do some pretty stupid stuff to 'cope' but all it really did was cover up the anger or despair for a bit so these days I keep my mind occupied during almost all my waking moments. That helps a lot, I figure if you keep your mind busy you won't have time to think about the things that get you down. =)
As for marriages and the like, you have to kiss a lot of toads to find your match sometimes. There's plenty of decent guys if you look though, and sometimes they're in the last place you'd think to look.

I have never been diagnosed with depression, but there are periods of time when I'm in a great big rut. I just have to remember that I'm not alone and that people love me, and I can at least try to keep my head above water. There's no reason not to cry.

I suffer from depression and anxiety. I struggle with both every day. You aren't alone. *hug*

I have been diagnosed with depression and social anxiety disorder over time. Was on medication for years, but haven't been for the last 9 months or so. I've found meditation, exercise and twice a month therapy to help immensely.

Yep. I was diagnosed with it, started therapy, and at one point I was hospitalized for suicidal thoughts. I also took medication for nearly two years, before coming off it a few months ago. I still go to therapy and I honestly feel like I'm handling it much better now. I sincerely hope you can find peace and happiness.

You should consider seeing a therapist and/or seeking marriage counseling. Maybe see a doctor about getting antidepressants, they really do help.

You are not alone! I've struggled with both for a couple of years now and it really can be hell. I can say that for me, medication really made a difference. Sometimes to get out of the funk you need some brain stimulation. It can feel like hell but it can get better. But in the mean time, if you ever need someone to chat with I'm here!
