I have a\u00a0many names for the myriad types of depression I experience. <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

For\u00a010 years, I had ‘stunned depression’ off and on. This type of depression is especially hard because it makes movement difficult. This rotten mood swing makes me sit on the side of the bed with my hands in my head like I\u2019m in a daze. It\u2019s harder to think. I have all of the normal upsetting depression thoughts- that is bad enough- I just can\u2019t\u00a0beleive how it stuns me. Like a sucker punch. Technically, it\u2019s catatonic depression\u2026\u00a0 it still feels like I\u2019ve been hit from behind.\"ennis<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

I could go on and on. Living with this for so long\u00a0wore me down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a journal entry\u00a0from 2011:<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u00a0have to\u00a0get out of the house\u00a0and did everything I could to feel better. I watched football, played with my mom\u2019s new puppy, saw my nephew and am now going to meet a friend. I have to deal with immobility as a normal person would-\u00a0if they had a broken leg.\u00a0I can\u2019t let the depression take hold- I wrote Get it Done When You\u2019re Depressed<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0for this stunned depression. I often think of the table of contents and use what I can. I\u00a0can use\u00a0Think Like an Athlete- I\u2019m always amazed at how athletes keep going even when they\u2019re sick. I can do it too. No matter how depressed I am. Come on Julie. Move no matter how immobile you feel. <\/span><\/p>\n

I am going to be like\u00a0an athlete.\u00a0I will not let depression stun me all day! <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Skip to 2013. I’m better. It’s so interesting to read my journals. I was so sick for so long. I got better last year when I found a better combination of medications. I write about this alot on my Facebook page. I use the plan in my books and work hard to stay on the medications despite the side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ten straight years of depression- and I was better in less than two months when I tried the meds.\u00a0I still get depressed, but it’s\u00a0rare. \u00a0This is possible for you – this is possible for someone you care about. Never stop until you find relief from depression!<\/span><\/p>\n
