Has anyone been so depressed that you just want to give up. Well thats where i am now. And it really sucks. Before all this anuriym bs i was a very happy and out going person. Im scared HELP
I know what you mean! I had to go to my husband’s company dinner last week but had to leave early the lights, noise, and all the different conversations gave me anxiety. Which was not me!! I was always outgoing and the live of the party…now not so much. One day at a time.
This is very much a part of the journey...many here have said the same thing...you need to let yourself heal and if this isn't an option...donot suffer alone...go talk to your Doctor and he/she can help you out...Many of us after everything, are diagnosed with PTSD...
If you are so depressed that you want to give up Jeannie...that is beyond what BAF can help you ... Please call your local "crisis intervention" and get help...Please...
I am a bit worried Jeannie and you have written nothing back, please let us know how you are doing and if you are going to get some help this week...
Im not getting help with my depression. I now there is hope in life. God bless
I'm feeling the same way as you are, Jeannie. Believe me. Aneurysms are the worst thing anyone could have, especially if you already know you have one that could rupture at any moment. Not knowing is even more scary, how someone can be here one day and just so far gone the next.
I'm not even sure my dad knew about his or not.
I lost my father on Saturday to a ruptured aneurysm and I can't even foresee a future without him in my life right now. I feel like I'm lost. He was my everything. It's hard but I'm barely getting by as long as I take it hour by hour. Not even day by day, but hour by hour because any longer than that is just too hard right now. I hope that these words may help you in some way. Just know that you are not alone.
Oh Jeannie I am so sorry to hear this. I know how you feel tho. Before my problems started I was a strong woman loved to take of my house yard kids cars and everything in between. I have had some depression problems before. But after it got bad. It’s taken me years to just get back to blah. But please don’t give up hope. Look what you have been through, and survived. You have it in you. Talk to your dr let them know. It can take time to find the right combination that works for you. Don’t be afraid to ask for professional help if you feel you just can’t make it. If this helps you it’s taken me 5 yrs of trial and error but haveing the right med now. Makes all the difference. You will get there hon there is hope. Remember your a fighter a survivor you have a lot to share with others. Stay strong I will be praying for you. Let us hear back from you often. We are all there for you. God Bless You
Jeannie, I know how you feel too, many of us do, I was diagnosed with PTSD a month after my ruptured aneurysm, I had severe anxiety, i just thought I was going to pass out and die any minute, then came depression, I just wanted to cry, I felt miserable and like I would never be myself again, then I was put on medication(lexapro) and after 2 weeks I noticed a huge difference, now I'm feeling very well, I'm still on medication but it's important to get help
Im sorry to hear about your dad.we all can get through this.im learning slowly to change my life so i dont get my blood pressure up. The drs fixed one with a stent and coils and they are just going to keep a eye in the other.so i think out of this whole thing that my kids need me. They are 22,16,19.Two of them live at home. Ive been a single mom since they were 2,4,8years old. I just cant see them without me. Im all they have. So theres no giving up even if im depressed.god has got all of our backs. God bless and your in my prayers.
Big hugs Jeannie. It’s natural to be scared because of what ur going through. I’m in my 4th week of recovery and went through the same thing but I am not depressed. what I was looking for was reassurance and support. thank god I have a loving family, went to church, called my nurse practioner, and sleeked counselling immediately. Find help and talk about it and being in community is a start. don’t give up-you made it this far. god bless.
This forum has really helped me feel not so alone with all of the struggles I'm going through losing my dad.
I couldn't picture a time when I would be without my dad, and yet that time has come. I've lived with him my entire life and I'm only 25. He was basically all I had, but I'm still here. He would never have wanted me to feel so miserable without him in my life.
I am glad you are able to see for yourself how much your family counts on you to be strong for them. Please continue to be there for them as long as you can. Your family will always be so happy to have known you. Some people never even meet their parents. I am so happy that I even had a father, and was able to be with him for the time that we had.
Jeannie, life is so unpredictable and there's no telling when our time is up, as I've learned from my dad. Please know that anything were to ever happen, your family would be alright. You've taught them so much already and you continue to do so. Pass your strength on to them and let them know how treasured your time has been together, I am sure they will do the same.
Jeannie...noting your comment below... "not getting help with my depression"...
do you mean by/from your neuro-docs and/or PCP? And/ or by family/friends?
Cheers are...you are here with your children...and, they are here with you...
Prayers you choose your right steps...with the right shoes...

Hi Jeannie. I have had the same feelings. I had a ruptured anuerysm that was clipped. Still have one on the other side of my head that is being monitored. While i was in the hospital, I became very depressed. Had a few physical problems. Then I developed vasospasm to boot. My wife was very encouraging, trying to lift me up. Im a master plumber {plumbers are tough right}. One night i just hugged the nurse taking care of me and cried like a baby. this really helped. I started talking to everyone who would listen to me about my surgery, this also helped. I also felt the lord telling me, Dont worry son, I got your back. sometimes, i just need to let the emotion out. I am doing very well. back to work now and back to my old usual self. We will be praying for you Jeannie. God bless
