Depression Treatment

http://www.femail.com.au/depression_treatment.htm
I spend many hours alone... this means a lot of soul searching goes on and whether my mind is being eaten-up by this disease,I do not know.

I know I appear strange to even my closet beloved ones. My once graceful and easy movements are becoming more difficult and I am relying on my family to do far more than they should.

I have always been fiercely independent and it is humiliating,depressing and extremely tiring on those I love.

Today I was prescribed an anti-depressant and I intend to follow up here with the progress. My fear however is for my husband who sees ALL the pain and struggle i go through.....who cares for him? This is of great concern.

Understanding?

It is difficult for loved ones to sometimes understand the frustrations that PD brings to your life.....

Speech is affected and so it is difficult and sometimes embarrassing to express yourself. (Understanding)

Sleep patterns are affected and again it is difficult for loved ones to understand your patterns and what it is that you need from them at that time - (Understanding)

With PD it is easy to become overwhelmed with the world, life, family demands and everyday life sometimes no matter how hard we try and control it. (Understanding)

So, to anyone out there reading this who knows or loves a PD sufferer - Understanding is a wonderful gift - Yes! sometimes PD can make us seem strange and demanding but really all we need is a little understanding.....

Imagine yourself in a position where you must rely on others for your day to day existence - would you need a little understanding?
