depressed for years

Tazz, I feel exactly like you do, been depressed ever since I can remember, also diagnosed myself and came to the realization that this is how it is and gotta live with it. But, then I see other people who are 'happy' and wonder, why can they be happy and I can't. I hear all the time people trying to explain to me all the benefits that I have that others don't, I hear and listen and see for a short period and then regress back to my 'old self'. I trully believe it is an attitude issue, it really is, the problem is that peple like us have a problem 'changing' our attitudes. Even when something good happens to me, I am still sad (depressed). I too am very mentally and phyiscally tired. There HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY, its a problem in our brains, it CAN be fixed. The question is how? I ran across this website, signed up, hoping it can help.

Welcome. I think it will help alot to have people who you can relate with and understand what you are going through. I am new here too but already have found people and stories that I can relate to.

Tazz, You've come to the right place! Welcome aboard! Start working through the exercises located in your session diary. This CBT program will teach you about depression, it's effects on you and will help you start goal setting. Also be sure to read through some of our forums. They are full of advice and experiences you might learn from. Feel free to add yours to any thread on our boards. If you have any questions, just ask. Keep strong.

I have been depressed for about 10 years, after about 5 years, I decided this is how it is and learned to live with it. I hate not being able to get any pleasure out of life but I have no ideal how to change that. I hope this program helps, I've self-diagnosed myself for years and can't cure myself, I am ready to let someone else help me. I am so tired, mentally and physically.
