Does depression ever go away?

It's never does

I quit listening to sad songs and I found myself something to do and I stayed busy. Instead of trying to sleep it away I just went outside 🤔 but since I had stroke I can't do my own hair it's hard to put my bra on text me about 2 hours to shower and get dressed it's hard doing almost anything😥 and I walk like a toddler, I have to use a cane now. And I told myself I have to get used to the new me and keep it moving and just go. Because depression is the worst thing that ever happened to me so I run from that. Well not run but you get it right?

Yes it does

That's depressing to

No never

For now, focus on sleep and eating well. It takes 2 months to make something a habit. Before then, it’s hard busy work that you have to motivate for yourself.

The “why” is your job to create. But you -are- alive where others aren’t. Questioning the “why” is time you could’ve spent making the “why”.

Also, we’re alive!! 🙌🏻

Thank you for your help

Everyone’s different. For me, the biggest factors were prayer and trusting that God cares enough about us not to let our bodies be a limitation.

I fall too, it’s pretty annoying and I fell downstairs that wasn’t fun

❤️ yeah having a therapist helps. And I do need to start exercising, just waiting for my ankle to heal up

Well maybe the first thing you ought to work out is the getting tired part. From my experience, being tired makes you vulnerable to depression, but depression uses up energy that makes you tired. Being tired makes your brain harder to function. It’s a cycle. I wasn’t able to take caffeine for 6 months and I fell into a deep depression that I got out of once I managed to figure out how to gain enough energy not to feel tired during the day. That cleared my mind, helped me function better, then broke me free from the cycle. Then there’s the hard stuff, the stuff that can’t quite be easily fixed. I needed faith and to set regular attainable goals to distract me from thinking about the hard stuff.

What part of your stroke do you feel most holds you back?

When though? I stroked in 2012

It does
