Case Study 773
I am 45 and have had a severe depression for over 6 months. I feel like the real dynamic me is gone and I am an empty shell. I feel no emotions other than despair and an awful kind of emptyness. I have no motivation or desire to do anything, and it is often unbearable, my only escape is the nightly sleeping tablet. I avoid other people if I can ,but also feel isolated and alone as they cannot feel what I feel.
I have amazing children and feel that I am failing them somehow, especially my youngest daughter who is only 7..
I would like to try and e mail other people who are depressed and want to get better as I need to do something , and feel that this is at least a start. my e mail is jacki500@hotmail.com
