Why.

I'm sorry for making this seem selfish, I just feel that there's no point for me to be here (not on this site kind of here, just here where I am). I suffer so much in my darkest hours.. It really hurts on the inside.. and to make me feel worse, I "happy" myself up for work, smiling and all that, but I feel like I'm lying.. but it's work and you can't be depressed at work because it makes business look bad and such.. I just want release..

I know how you feel. Ive just taken 2 weeks off work so I can get myself together a little bit i was lashing out at customers and staff and thats never good. Do whats best for you and remember there is a point to you being here no matter how hard that is to hang onto. One day the sun will come back into your life.

there must be something that you enjoy
there has to be something

you need to feel alive, and feel that release elsewhere

first and foremost, you need immediate help. crawl, walk, skip or pogostick to your doctors, or the ER if needed. you are too important to die.

I am in the same boat right now...my meds are starting to kick in and I'm feeling a bit better...

come here and let me hold you and you can "release" it all...cry if you need to, I won't stop you. I can't fix it but I CERTAINLY understand and empathise...and I can hold you and let you cry.

Thank you all, but I feel no importance to live. If I wasn't here, I'd be less of a worry and bother to people. I don't want to do that to them.

Want a wonderful release: a massage! Go to your nearest massage school or call first, most offer massages half price since they are practicing, gaining their skills on you.It's a very releasing experience!

But how can you be so certain?.. And it's not like I'm going to run off and kill myself, I don't have the courage to, if that's what this may come across as to some.

you can't live your life by what you think other people want or think. You have to value yourself. Is there anything you want to achieve?

I find it hard to value myself, sorry.. and I don't see much in my future as far as achieving goes.. my future basically consists of just moving along.

whatever you do dont pretend to feel any way you dont. In the psych world they call that 'cognitive disonnance' and it will just mess you up worse. That isnt to say you should cry all day at work, but if your not feeling upbeat theres no reason you owe anyone some facade of being happy. Keep true to your feelings

I see what you're saying, but I recently started work there, and I don't want people to think I'm emotional problem or that "sad little girl in the corner".. but yea, I don't want to totally fake it.. God, I feel a bit messed up.. It's so hard to decide what to do and what not to do, I always have two choices in my head, never just one straight thoughts. It's always pro and then con or vice versa.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
