Depression

Specializes in Emergency Nursing, Pediatrics.

I know a great portion of nurses (myself included) suffer from depression, as well as other mental health conditions. It's important we check in on each other. The smallest chit-chat can improve someone's day.

Today I was in a depression coma most of the day before having a breakdown in front of my husband, then headed to work for the night.

How are y'all feeling today?

I’m so sorry you’re feeling badly right now. I’ve fought depression, anxiety  and bipolar disorder for most of my life, so I know how fast and how hard we can fall. I hope you have a good doctor and/or therapist and other support to help you get through these tough times. This is the perfect forum to start a thread about mood disorders as they affect us at work as well as in our personal lives. I hope you feel much better soon.

Look into ketamine therapy. It helped me.
