It is one of those times I feel like I could cry and cry. I don't know what I'm doing. I feel like I am just stumbling through life. I wish I had the answers but I don't. Most things I try end in failure.

I'm so lonely but I am not good at making friends even though I am a nice person.

Depression tells many convincing lies Jenn your job is not to believe what it says...Any chance for a medication tweak?

I'm sorry you're going through this. I've been through many very difficult times myself and I know how much it hurts.

I agree, keep reaching out for support and know you're not alone. And maybe a med tweak is needed. Call your pdoc. Big hugs.

Thank you everyone. It started a couple of days ago. I've had a lot on my plate this month.

So sorry you're feeling so depressed. Do you see a therapist? Have you seen your psychiatrist recently? Maybe you do need a med tweak, as others have mentioned. Whatever, it's great you are receiving some support here on DS. I've been having a difficult time with anxiety and OCD (mainly reoccurring thoughts and worries that produce more anxiety along with depression). I recently decreased my abilify and know that is the reason I'm having these difficulties. My psychiatrist doesn't want me on abilify at all, but I begged him to at least stay on the lowest dose possible. He says that I shouldn't be on 2 antipsychotics or mood stabilizers (I'm on seroquel too). Another psychiatrist added the abilify to my seroquel about 3 yrs ago and it helped my mania and general mood at the time. Sorry, I went off on a tangent. This is about you and you getting the help that you need! Good luck and I am sending positive thoughts and prayers your way!

Hi,
I could have written this myself and I am the same age as you.
I feel so out of touch with other people, lonely , unloved and feel each day is a struggle to a greater or lesser extent.

Hi Jennifer, I know that you are a nice person. If you weren't, you wouldn't even care about having friends. You say that you are stumbling through life and failing at the things that you try. I am going to put you on my prayer list and ask God to comfort and strengthen you, put your feet on "solid ground" and to give you a good friend. Hang in there!

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
