Depession

I feel Alone and Helpless

Posted on 09/12/09, 08:26 am

I have to deal with Depression for many Years. I really feel often alone and helpless. I often Isolate myself when I am depressed. I try to fight my Depression every Day. Its not easy. But i make little Steps forward. Go to school to get my Ged, want to look for a Job, try to be a good Mother for my 19 Month old son. I am married, 37 years old and have moved from Germany to California which was also a very big Step for me.I am a Floral Designer and Studied 2 Years in Germany.

  I often feel so lost and alone....I feel like a black hole,so empty inside.It is so hard for me to be happy and have interest in daily things....When i was working i could barely hold a job...I am a single 40yo. man with no love in my life...Pray Pray Pray for change and a sense of direction...BAM68
