In reply to How do I get Over the Guilt, posted by AdaGrace on September 16, 2004, at 12:11:52
Welcome to Babble, Ada. I know that you'll find the people here to be supportive and (I think) non-judgemental. Every one of us is human, and pain is pain, no matter where it originates.
Are you getting any talk therapy in addition to the medication? There is no reason for you to carry this guilt around with you, as you can already see how self-destructive it is.
My major depressive episode, about a year ago, was like yours. I couldn't go grocery shopping, I couldn't prepare a meal, I cried all the time, I could barely get out of bed and I felt like a useless creature who deserved absolutely nothing. I am feeling so much better now, even with the worst days now they are nothing like they were before.
So I encourage you to share your feelings here, your questions about medications, if you're getting therapy, there's a board for those discussions too.
Sorry you feel so crummy, but it is nice to meet you.
