Going Home!

I'm finally going home tomorrow after a two month nightmare. I went into the hospital two months ago because I had so much pain in my knee and ankle. I spent a month in the hospital and a month in a nursing home/rehab center. It's been hellish here, with bad eats, lost clothes, and long call button waits from apathetic staff. They even, at one point, gave me the wrong medication, and luckily I caught it because I wasn't supposed to have an IV antibiotic in the morning. The rehab center was on point, with the physical and occupational therapists getting to know me and not accepting less than the best I could give. So I'm really happy to be going home, although I still have a long way to go yet. I'm worried though about going home. I don't want my loved ones to wait on me, I want to interact with my granddaughters, not having to fight, keeping them off my knee. I think the biggest one is my self image, I am only 47, and I don't want to be using a walker, I don't want to accept that I might have to use it for the rest of my life. #almostfree #moysinfamilyrenion #kindofscared #depressingthoughts #i'mdone here

Will I able to do something ?

Several thoughts are running in my mind from past few days and they are just making me to feel worthless. I question myself daily that "Will I able to do something in my life ? " because whenever I try to do something which I love I m just unable to do . it's not because I didn't want to , it's because my anxiety and depression doesn't let me . I hope you are getting my point. it's hard to focus and concentrate with depression . I don't know how I will get out of this but I m getting tired day by day . I m getting imprisoned in my own mind. My thoughts are killing me . #Depression #depressingthoughts #worthlesss #tired

New to this!

Hello everyone!
I m Muskan Agrawal from India .
I m new to this so I thought to introduce myself .
Now talking about my mental illness,as far as I know I have suffered from anxiety since from an early age. I m 19 now .. I was always anxious when i was small , I used to worry on every little thing . However, from past two years I m suffering from depression and it came into in my life in a very unexpected way .My friends,my family everyone considers me as a happy girl but what happens inside me no one knows .I m full of darkness from inside . Depression has engulfed me completely .No one knows what I do behind these closed doors of my hostel .There are days when I do nothing except crying and crying .I have those few genuine moments in which my laugh or smile is real. But for the most part, even when I’m smiling or laughing, I’m breaking on the inside. Even when I try to have those moments of happiness and pureness, depression still lingers; reminding me that the sadness is greater. I wish I could just tell people that. I wish I didn’t have to pretend. In all honesty, it’s the most exhausting thing I have ever done .I think about death on a regular basis but still I m living in a hope that one day I will get out of this .
