I have felt that but I can't say I know a way out but through. See about getting a change of meds. Maybe that could help. Big changes I have been told can stir up and worsen symptoms. I wish you the best and hope you feel better soon.

I can relate to how you feel a fair bit. Don't try too hard to make life happen, but go an hour at a time. Pray to The Lord, even when you don't know what to say.
I wish you the very best.
Good luck.

Hi.
I'm on medication for depression and anxiety and I too feel that meds work sometimes but others they do not. Unforchantely medications aren't cures and in my opinion they are not a constant stabiliser. We will always have our bad days, and unfrochantely we just have to ride the wave.
I can relate to you in quite a big way as I currently do not leave my house and literally have hidden myself imaway in a box that I call my bedroom.
Even people who don't have the problems we do feel lonely and empty sometimes. Even in a room full of people. I wouldn't say to remind yourself that it's "the meds" making you feel that way because although they do mess with your emotions in the first stages of being on them, after that period they're meant to do the opposite, not make you feel that way. In my opinion people telling you it's the meds isn't going to do you any good because eventually you might start to believe that everything is because of the medication and stop taking it. Like I did. Sorry if I'm babbling but I just want to get this across.
I've had mental problems for nearly 10 years now and at least 3 times I have taken myself off of my medication and stopped therapy believing that it was only making me worse or even more absurd, actually causing my illnesses.
Some people take meds some don't but for me I have to be on my medication to be stable. Yes there are days where I am stil very mentally and emotionally and sometimes emotionally endured physically ill. But that's bound to happen. My advice to you, may not be much but it's all I've got.
For me, when I'm feeling like this.. I stay in my comfort zone and ride my wave, other times I push myself out of my comfort zone, try to distract myself and attempt to jump over the wave. my only advice to you would be to try and occupied yourself on bad days. If you have made plans still try and accomplish those. Even if you "fail" today is just 24hours and the chances are tomorrow will be different. OR you can cuddle up in your comfort zone on days you feel depressed, watch movies you enjoy and maybe invite friends over. Explain to the people who are around you that you're having a bad day, and that you just need people around you right now.
I hope some of this makes sense. I want to help but my minds constantly racing so sometimes what I say isn't easy to follow. But I just want you to know you most deffinatrly are not alone.

I do not know for how long you have been away and the reasons why you left in the first place. Can you give me any reason why you are feeling the way you do.
Have you talk to your GP regarding this problem

I know just how this feels - it rings a lot of bells. You want to talk, and when you do people (even those who really care about you) don't understand, and you feel a prat afterwards.
Not every time perhaps, but all too often. It's certainly not best to talk to too many different ones about it. A lot of people, whilst kind, don't know the difference between the common feeling of 'feeling down' or 'depressed today' and having depression.
But, as you say, you're not alone and it's a genuine illness. Take courage and go a step at a time.
