My life is like a horror movie that plays over and over...everyday is just more of the same...i go to a job where i am treated like crap. I cannot concentrate, or do anything enjoyable anymore. I have alot of health issues. I always hurt and feel sick. My life feels empty. I just feel all around bad.

((Hugs)) My life was like that for months and I didn't think it would ever lift but it slowly got better especially after my meds changed. Nothing is permanent but it always feels like it I know.

It can get better, its hard and frustrating - I'm glad you here, your not alone - I've spent years feeling like that!

I have progress and hope, and the horror movie, suicidal idealization - vague memories! Even if they come back, with work and good meds - they are shorter and fewer!

((((BIG HUG))))) I, many of us have been there - and it does and can get better! Keep venting, and believe us as we hope and pray for you, peace and comfort ASAP!!!!

TC, you are in my heart and you are not alone. As others have said, this isn't forever and you don't have to feel this way. There are meds and treatments that can help but it doesn't always happen as fast as we would like it to. Sometimes no matter what skills we have learned through therapy, our brain just won't cooperate.

Do your best to work with your pdoc and/or therapist. Be very honest with them. Look for even very small things to plan or do that you can help keep your mood up. Isolation is always very attractive when we feel like this and sometimes we NEED that time away and by ourselves. Other times we have to be careful that we don't fall into the trap of continued isolation that can alienate us from others.

Hang in there TC, you can get through this. Think about the options that can make you feel better. xo
