Dyspraxia and depression

[morgank82]

I'm scared and ashamed everyday now, and yes mostly every day or second i brake down in tears.I lost my social life although I peak my head up once awhile to try to be social; my apitite is going like a roller coaster , right now I'm not eating as not so good maybe 1 big meal a day this couple of weeks. I do too have emotion mood swings one moment I am happy, then like u said; I just feel really down and it's so scary how fast it can be to feel that way.

I wrote similar posts on hear before , and this forum does help a bit, but my Dr does not know of dyspraxia or there are no groups around to understand. They said they want to just take care of my depression first with out looking into dyspraxia also; it might just be that they don't want to or there busy with other clients, for its a metal centre I go too for help.
This pills are not helping at all, I just feel more down taking them, the failure they don't kick in to at least stable my emotions of anxiety.

I'm just wasting my life away, and its scaring me up pretty bad . I finally reached out for help just under to years ago. And nothing changed, I have my insurence benifits agent for my work, breathing down my kneck, which I am lucky to have actually ; but they don't understand ,and keep calling to see if I am better to be able to go back to work.

I just feel in the next life it would be better for me, not to feel this nomore , it really sucks cuz of my family and such , but its like, I know the outcome and I know my mind is going to be the same, so I accept I'm broken and try to help others so i push them ahead of me cuz they have that chance . And it sucks to feel or to think that way. Actually right now I'm tearing up posting this.

There going to get me to take another drug cuz this one I am on ,is not working . So hopefully next prescription does the trick or at least meet me in the middle.

Hi I'm new here too I have been on anti depressants for two years now my mood used to fly all over the place and I ended up having sucicadal thoughts thats when I knew I had to visit my doctor who put me on fluxatine and sent me for CBT which was useless I cant talk to my loved ones about how I feel but then I dont have the confidence to talk to strangers vocally, writing my feelings down helps me.

It's a shame CBT didn't work for you Katie, it's generally much better than drugs and without side effects (MorganK, I would definitely recommend it for you). In terms of pills; people do better with different pills, it's just about finding the one that works for you . Hope it works out for you guys in the long run, keeping a positive mindset can help, as can sharing your feelings and talking about your problems, as you are doing now!
Remember, this site is a safe space, you can talk about your feelings etc and no-one is going to judge you. If anything, you'll find people feeling the same way, and that can also be a great help

I was very sceptical about CBT at first. I tended to 'out think' it (sorry not easy to describe what I mean I think you need to be in an open frame of mind and not in too great a state of distress for it to work) . I probably use it unconsciously more than consciously nowadays. We can be super persistent when we want to be but we can be equaliy resistant if there's something we don't want to have to do.

Mindfulness seems to be popular these days but I don't know a lot about it so if anyone can contribute with a constructive explanation that would be welcome

I have friends who have diagnoses of dyspraxia as an adult. I have a diagnosis of dyspraxia. We all have suffered from sort of depression.
