I am not suicidal, but why am I living? Nothing interests me, nothing excites me, nothing is going anywhere. I dont want to do anything, I dont want to try anything, I dont want help. What does one do in this boat? Nothing, thats what I do, nothing. Everyday I work, but for nothing. I come home, and do nothing. I have no motivation. Im not going anywhere. I just dont give a damn. I dont see anything that will help. Asking for help wont help. Its all pointless. I just wish I didnt exist, wish I didnt have what I do. I feel guilty at times for these thoughts because my life could be alot worse and I have mush to be thankful for, but at the same time, it doesnt matter. Sometimes I think of things that could be even worse so at least its something going on. Sometimes I think of breaking my leg or arm, so I can just sit in a hospital bed and not have to do anything because I have an excuse not to. Wow, just stop it Adam. Stop it.

" Ah yes...how many times have I been where you are....don't even ask. Now, I'm about to throw a nasty four letter word at you....




TIME.



Arrrrgghhh!! Yep. Time. This too shall pass. You WILL feel better again, you WILL see the point to life. That's different for everyone, but you'll see YOUR point to life. You may feel this way again, but it will pass again. The one thing you have to do, is just keep moving forward. Don't run, walk. Crawl if that's all your capable of at the time. But don't look back.

" Thats just it, nothing huge has happened to make me feel this way. Its burned in to my very being. I just am. Like I said I know things could be worse, and sometimes I secretly wish they would be just for something, something. I feel like such a horrible person. "

" Wow...I cannot recall ever having seen SO MANY negative words in a single post before.

I am without speech, and unwilling to give my usual "change your thoughts, and think more positively motivation"...sorry. "

" That's the insidiousness of depression, hon. We feel these things when logic tells us we have no reason to feel them. Logic doesn't stand a chance against it. "
