Hello hun.

Email me and I will do my best to help you out if your interested.

Im 28 and work in a home for Adults with Mental Health Issues. These all range from being paranoid, depressed, self harming, hearing voices, Aggressive behaviour etc etc.
I also practice Aromatherapy with my friends and family. I have been using this for 4 years now. Im not a qualified Aromatherapist, I have taught myself and learnt from an old friend who IS qualified. Everything i used and do is safe and im willing to share anything with you if it will help you. Im also into Meditation and other alternatives. I dont like Medications as they all have their own side effects and i prefere the Natrual ways best.

You are getting more depressed cause you thinking about it all of the time, and you feel overwhemled, and hopiless about it' so you keep on stressing more and more over your motherer illiness. and the depression keeps getting worse . you don't think that the meds, are not working, so you keep on telling yourself that they are not working, this way you will not feel the effects even if they are working. You really need to get into some kind of stress managment, and maybe some profession health, cause you can over come this deprpession and social problems that you are having. So keep going to the thearpist, and don't hold back any feelings cause they need to know the facts. Plus the more you can get out the better you are going to feel in the end. You have enter a whole new way of thinking and problems solving, so while you are there learn as much as you can. I believe people should learn from all problems , be they good or bad, it brings you closer to feeling a heck of a lot better, and if you want you can share it with other. Oh one more thing, pray does help, even if you don't think so, you can find ways that you have been helped by pray. Hope this helps.

I will tell you something that I believe really works. Take some time to do something for some children that are less fortunate. Last year I took an opportunity to move into a community that was all Hispanics. I am Caucasian. I manage a store in this community. I was nervous because I didn't know their culture and how to speak Spanish. Plus all of the controversy over the news, I was afraid they may not accept me. But as days went on and I met these people and their precious children my eyes were open to a new world. So many times we are blind to what others maybe going thru and by nature are caught up in our world. There was and still are so many of these kids that were hungry and had no clothes, no toys, no furniture, or anything. The store I work in we donated things for some of the families and started something in our community to help them. Most of them are children that have parents that are illegal aliens. Once I saw these sweet kids and their big brown eyes and saw them happy over a pack of bologna or a pint of strawberries I realized how much I have taken for granted. I have a lot of little friends now that I love and they love me. They have made me understand the reason they are wanting a better life for themselves and their children.Some will put me down for helping but a CHILD IS A CHILD no matter what race. Try helping some kids it will make you feel better and they need you. Bless you!

Purepink,
Yes, yours is a difficult problem and you need someone to give you time, time to listen to you. All I can advise at the moment, is to take one day at a time. Try to stop your mind racing ahead.

You can beat this, keep telling yourself that one thing.

I know this won't be of much help to you right now but I do wish you well; and one day soon, I hope you will get through a day and think, yeah! That was ok, I can do it .

Good luck to you- and I hope your mother recovers from her illness very soon.
Although it seems a flippant thing to say and the words roll off the tongue too easily, I don't mean it to be; but some people find going out for a walk helps them to feel more positive. Try anything once.

Kind regards Cassandra

Hi Purepink sounds like you have been going through rough patch,one thing to take into consideration is your not on your own in this one.At any one time about10% of population have similar problems.You seem to be doing all the things that can help and are looking for more ways.So try not to live in despair looks like everyone on here is with you and trying to give you support.
Keep working at the problem and in time I am sure it will pass
Relaxation tapes can help check with your GP to see if he thinks they will benefit you.plus a fitness programe can also help.Your body produces chemicals that make you feel better when you exercise but take it slowly to begin with and check again with GP as to a reasonable point to start.Good luck i am sure if you keep trying you will come out of this patch.

If you live in the USA, then there are plenty of nice things you can do to feel better. For example, in California, you could go to the beach, take some good walks, etc. Theme Parks are also good, like Universal Studios or something, maybe Disneyland! lol, then, if you live in Florida, there is Disney World...or is DisneyLand there and Disney World in california.... Anyway, get some friends and family together and go for a ski trip in Taos, New Mexico or something, it's great! You've just got to get out to places with other people, but not some depressing place like New York or Chicago or any of the other Big cities...... lol, anyway, you just need to get out and HAVE FUN!!!!!!!! Tablets are bad for you in my opinion.... Anyway, I hope this helped! Merry Christmas or Happy New Years!!!!! Whichever one you like! or both... lol, Good Luck!!

Take a step back here for a moment,before you felt like you do what good things were happening in your life,sometimes I find a good walk along the seafront clears somethings out the way & then go home make a list of what`s right & what`s wrong take one problem at a time & if you get stuck email someone to see if they can advise you as to your next step,whatever you decide to do,Don`t give up.

A series of deep breaths might help. Sounds like you are really stuck in hole. I ask for opinions & ideas alot but when it comes down to it we can only help ourselves. I know i've experienced happiness many different times so far in this life, & there will always be more to come after the darkness. That's what keeps me going so far. Are you in the city? Are you with family? It sounds to me like you might just need a retreat. Try Montana (seriously) The air is breathable & relaxing. You might just find what you need.

Don't give up, I've been where you are and things will get better. You are obviously intellegent as you've tried to get help. Try ringing the Samaritans, if your climbing the walls, I know you probably need more than that, but it will be a start. There are people out there who can help, sometimes it just takes a while to find the right ones.

Hi

Is there some activity you enjoy doing the most? May be you are trying too hard to get rid of the depression? I don't know what social problems are, but are they solvable? Find a new hobby to keep yourself busy or maybe change your job to something you like doing?

Hope this Christmas and the New Year bring peace for you :)
